Wow, was that an excellent movie! All the glowing reviews you’ve heard: all true. I didn’t even find the score to be bothersome – I don’t know what Wheaton was bitching about with that. Downey is awesome and Paltrow is a knockout with red hair – she should consider keeping it that shade. I was also happy to see that many people (sadly, not the asshole I’m going to tell you about) stayed for the end bit that is after the credits. And I mean AFTER the credits – each and every one! I love that. Movie goers have no respect for the gazillions of people required to make a movie happen – which is why I always read the credits and I always cheer for my fellow geeks. :-)
If you see Iron Man, sit your ass down and wait for the credits to roll. It’s totally worth it.
We went to the Regal 24 over on the 85 Access Road to use our most excellent gift card from Russ and Janel – thanks guys! :-)Â We were shocked to discover that movies are $10 now. GAH! Even the damn concessions have gone up – which is so ridiculous I can’t stand it. A medium popcorn and drink – ONE – was $11. Yup, $31 to see a freaking movie.
Of course there was a stupid moron with his kid (grandkid?) sitting next to us that had to talk loudly over the whole godsdamn movie. He brought a 5 or 6 year old to this movie that the kid couldn’t understand so every frelling thing had to be explained. Which the old fart did. Continuously. I asked him NICELY at least 5 times to be quiet. He kept blabbing. We moved a seat away, which was as far as we could get. FUCKER. If the kid was his kid, then he’s too frelling old to be a dad to a 5 year old anyway. Stupid FUCK. Way to set an example, there, Chief.
I will tell you this, breeders of the world: Do not take your brats to movies that are inappropriate: too violent, too complicated, whatever. This flick was PG-13, which clearly that child was not ready to see. Do not think that YOUR frelling $10 entitles you to frell up the movie for everyone one else. You are not at home, therefore you can’t explain every scene to your clueless 5 year old, sorry.
If you can’t watch a movie in a theatre and follow the rules, keep your dumb breeder ass and your dumb brats at home with Barney, OK?
It is not everyone else’s problem that you are too stupid to grasp that your child is too young for the movie. We paid to see the film, too, asshole.
This is one reason that keeps breeders high on my list of Most Hateful Creatures.
Along with the loss of IQ, there is a severe loss of common sense, manners, social skills and apparently a complete inability to understand one’s native tongue as spoken by normal adults.
Perhaps the brat has conditioned them to only speak brat? Dunno, but all of you breeders should censure these assholes yourselves. When you are out in public, a breeder will never ever say anything to one of their own who is misbehaving. You people should at least have balls enough to manage your own tribe. For gods sakes, you are an obnoxious bunch in the first place, why can’t you at least reel in the true assholes that do nothing for your PR? Why do we sensible non-breeders have to do it? Hmm?
Anyway, after the movie I was so cranky that I drug Nick up to the Customer Service desk to bitch. The young guy at the desk said, of course, there’s nothing to be done unless you leave the movie and find security, who will then ask the assholes to leave. However, Regal is testing a new system of beepers that the club members can pick up on the way into the theatre and simply beep security when the inevitable asshole disrupts the movie. This is good to know! We are joining the Crown Club today. In addition, the guy gave us free passes for another movie to make up for the stupid breeder’s rudeness. Wow, now that’s service! At the ghetto AMC, you are lucky to even see service personnel, much less actually get some sort of compensation for your trouble. We will probably take most of our movie business to Regal because of this beeper program and the excellent customer service. Hey, the popcorn is better, too!
So, although I do not hate my breeder friends, it is because they are not assholes. They do not act like stupid morons with an IQ of 50. At least not around me. ;-) The rest of you breeding idiots can kiss my non breeding ass.
Go see Iron Man and hopefully you can enjoy the film without stupid people yammering. It’s worth $10 a head, really.
