So... I'm not even going to mention here how long it's been since I last blogged. I know... I'm an awful blogger.
But I'm back. And here's why.
Something happened on Wednesday night that made me so angry I had to blog. And rant. So here it is.
Me and Abbi went to see The Mist at the Gate. First thing's first: it's an awesome film. I recommend it to everyone. It was brilliantly made, original, and the ending is amazing.
But here's the thing. We didn't enjoy it.
Because the majority of people in the cinema LAUGHED their way through the film. But it wasn't funny! It wasn't even meant to be funny (apart from a couple of genuinely funny moments) - it is a serious horror film. It wasn't just once or twice that this happened, from a couple of morons that you sometimes get at the cinema. It was MOST of the people in the cinema, ALL the way through. Even at the end, when the protagonist is (understandably) distraught (I won't spoil why) and bawling in despair, people were laughing. Which completely ruined it; what should have been heart-renching just... wasn't. The totally immature people who somehow saw this film as a comedy destroyed the atmosphere for me, Abbi and anyone else in the cinema who was genuinely into the film.
It was such a shame, especially we'd been discussing, before the film began, how going to the cinema and experiencing a film there is so much better than watching it at home. But NOT when other people spoil it. And unfortunately, this may all have happened because the film is a 15.
Anywho, it completely fucked what should have been an awesome night at the cinema.
*breathes*
Sorry about that... rant over. Blogging resumed.

I just wanted to say that this is quite possibly the best blog title ever (well, 'Shutter Up' is yet to be used)- perfect joining of subject, joke and time of posting.
And yes, I totally agree. I forgot to tell you that such a thing happened to me during Superman Returns (who laughs at Superman trying to lift a big piece of rock?!?!?!). I've found that audiences of more than six tend to ruin a film/play. I'd love to live in a world where it could be just me and some friends in a cinema without any annoying teenagers, morons, etc. to spoil to dramatic mood, whatever the film may be.
(They certainly ruined 'Noch Einenstool' for me!)
