Please Shut Up!!

I feel the need to share a pet gripe with you today - People Who Talk In The Cinema. If you want to talk then go to a pub, a restaurant or stay at home.

Even worse are the people who have to give a running commentary to their friends explaining what has just happened. If you do not have the intellectual capacity to understand the film, either shut up and enjoy the pretty pictures or leave (obviously I exempt parents of small children from this gripe as they usually have the decency to whisper very quietly).

And the most dire of all are the people who give away the next plot device. "See 'im, he dies inna minute" ... Thanks!

That is similar to saying "that bloke in the black 'at, he's Luke's dad, innit". Grrrrrrr!

It drives me insane. And often, when you ask them to be quiet, you just get glared at and they start talking about what a bore you are. During which time they have missed the important bit of the current scene so have to ask their mates what just happened!! ARGH!!!!!

P.S. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ... very cool, darker than the previous ones, a bit more grown up in places, some good humour, great special effects. I would recommend it ... although preferrably hire out the entire cinema so you don't have to put up with,

"Who's that bloke?"
"Dunno, think he must be ... oh you know, that one what's after 'arry."
