I WENT BACK AND GOT AN OLD REVIEW FOR YOU GUYS, PLEASE ENJOY. ....I JUST SAW THE BEST MOVIE OF 2008 YESTERDAY. THE BEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE THAT HAS BEEN RELEASED....EVER. THATS RIGHT, I AM TALKING ABOUT DAREDEVIL. IM KIDDING. THE FILM IM TALKING ABOUT IS "THE DARK KNIGHT". THIS MOVIE HAD IT ALL. I SAW IT TWICE WITHIN TWO HOURS OF EACH SHOWING. I PRETTY MUCH GOT T OF 10:20 SHOWING, GOT OUT AT 1:00PM, PICKED UP SOMEONE AND WENT BACK FOR THE 2:20 SHOWING. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. THE MOVIE HAD SO MUCH STUFF IN IT I DONT KNOW WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN.
THE PLOT
DONT WANT TO SPOIL ANYTHING FOR YOU, SO ILL KEEP IT AS DISCREET AS I CAN. WELL, BATMAN LEFT OFF, NOT GETTING THE GIRL, AND NOW A HERO. WELL ,THIS FILM TAKES OFF FROM THERE. THE VILLIANS OF GOTHAM STILL RUN RAMPANT BUT NOW WITH CAUTION DUE TO THE FACT THAT "THE BATMAN" IS OUT THERE. SO THERE IS STILL SOME JUSTICE OUT THERE BEING TAKEN, OR SO THATS WHAT THE CITY IS SAYING TO ITSELF. THE CITY HAS A NEW PUBLIC HERO...HARVEY DENT. HE SEEMS HONEST ENOUGH, AND HAS THE AFFECTIONS OF A CERTAIN YOUNG LADY, RACHEL DAWES. BRUCE IS BEING HIS PLAYBOY SELF IN ORDER TO COVER HIS NIGHT JOB AS "THE BATMAN" . LUCIUS FOX IS NOW HEAD BOARD MEMBER IN BRUCE'S COMPANY AFTER KICKING OUT RUDGER HAUER OUT OF "BEGINS" AND BACK INTO"BLADE RUNNER". IN THE CITY AMONGST THE MOBSTERS WITH THEIR CONTROLLED RANKS AND STATUS IN POWER, LERKS A NEW FACE AND A NOT SO IN CONTROL BEING. THE JOKER. THE JOKER FINDS THE MOBSTERS AND BEFORE DISCUSSING THE DIMISE OF "THE BATMAN", HE SHOWS THEM A COOL PENCIL MAGIC TRICK. THEN HE OFFERS TO KILL BATMAN FOR A HEFTY FEE. THEN EXITS. BATMAN THEN WORKS WITH LT. GORDON TO CAPTUREMOBSTERS, WHICH LEAVES THEM WITH NO OPTION BUT TO GIVE THE JOKER POWER TO KILL BATMAN. THE FUN ENSUES.
BATMAN/BRUCE WAYNE
CHRIS BALE BROUGHT MORE TO HIS BRUCE WAYNE PERSONA, A FUNNY SIDE. THERE WERE MORE JOKES AND SMILES. HE TOOK A DIFFERENT FIGHTING STYLE AS WELL. HE CONTINUES TO SHINE AS ARGUEABLY THE BEST BATMAN TO HAVE WORN THE CAPE AND COWL. HIS AGGRESSIVE APPROACH TO BATMAN FEELS AUTHENTIC. HIS ANGER IS PRESENT THROUGHOUT THE FILM. ATHOUGH, BALE BROUGHT A GOOD SIDE TO BATMAN, A VULNERABLE SIDE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN HE REALIZES THAT HARVEY DENT MAY BE THE CITY'S ACTUAL SAVIOR FROM THE CRIME FACTIONS IN GOTHAM. HIS BRUCE WAYNE HAD A BIT MORE RANGE IN THIS ONE. I LOVED IT. BUT THE FILM IS REALLY NOT ABOUT "THE BATMAN".
RACHEL DAWES
I THOUGHT MAGGIE GYLLENTHAL DID A GREAT JOB AS THIS FILM'S RACHEL. I PERSONALLY DIDNT HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE KATIE HOLMES PORTRAYAL. I THOUGHT KATIE DID FINE. RACHEL WASNT WRITTEN WITH MUCH DEPTH IN "BEGINS". THE DARK KNIGHT LET RACHEL DAWES AND IN TURN, MAGGIE, SHINE AS A MUCH MORE LAYERED CHARACTER. I THOUGHT MAGGIE DID AN AMAZING JOB. THERE WAS A SCENE THAT I THNK MAYBE KATIE COULDNT PULL OFF, BUT MAGGIE DID. I WONT GO TOO MUCH INTO THE SCENE, BUT IT INVOLVES A VERY EMOTIONAL TALK BETWEEN RACHEL AND HARVEY. SHE DID A GREAT JOB.
HARVEY DENT/ TWO-FACE
ARRON ECKHEART DID TERRIFIC PLAYING THE "WHITE KNIGHT" OF GOTHAM CITY. HIS PORTRAYAL OF HARVEY WAS A MAN, DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY, TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. HARVEY IS A MAN WHO IS PASSIONATELY DRIVEN TO COMPLETELY WIPEOUT THE EVIL IN GOTHAM. HE TAKES HIS CHANCES WITH THE FLIP OF HIS FATHER'S OLD LUCKY COIN. IN THIS FILM, YOU ARE ROOTING FOR HARVEY DENT TO REALLY CLEAN UP THE STREETS. WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM, BUT WHEN IT DOES, YOUR HEART BREAKS FOR HIM. THE REASON THAT HAPPENS IS BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN HIS CAUSE, YOU WANT HIM TO SUCCEED AS BATMAN DOES, AND HE IS WHAT WE DONT SEE ANYMORE....AN HONEST ELECTED PUBLIC SERVANT. DENT IS FOCUSED AT GETTING RID OF THE VERMIN OF GOTHAM, BUT UNLIKE BATMAN, HE DOES IT WITHIN THE CONTENTS OF THE LAW. THEN, OF COURSE, SOMETHING HAPPENS. I WONT SAY WHAT, BUT WHEN IT DOES, YOU FEEL BAD FOR HIM. THEN HE IS GIVEN A NEW FORM ON HIS FACE, AND IT IS AN AWESOME SET OF EFFECTS FOR HIS TWO-FACE. BEST I HAVE SEEN. ECKHEART GIVES DENT, AN HOEST FACE, A WILLING HEART TO DO GOOD IN THE WORLD, A LOVING HEART FOR RACHEL, AND THE RAGE HE NEEDS AS TWO-FACE. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. THE MOVIE AGAIN WAS NOT REALLY ABOUT BAMAN. HARVEY DENT WAS ONE OF THE TWO CHARACTERS THIS FILM IS ABOUT.
THE JOKER
THE JOKER IS THE OTHER PERSON THAT THIS FILM IS ABOUT. WHAT HAS NOT BEEN SAID ABOUT HEATH LEDGERS PERFORMANCE THAT HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN SAID? NOTHING. ITS ALL TRUE. I PERSONALLY DIDNT EVEN THINK LEDGER WAS IN CONTENTION FOR AN OSCAR AWARD, BUT AFTER WATCHING HIS PERFORMANCE, I GLADLY EAT MY OWN WORDS. UNBELIEVABLE. I WAS IN COMPLETE AWE IN LEDGER'S PORTRAYAL OF THE JOKER. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. ILL EDIT MY COMPLIMENTS BECAUSE ILL KEEP WRITING ABOUT HOW GOOD HE IS. NOW THE JOKER JUST SHOWS UP AND THEN ONCE HE STARTS ROLLING, YOU LITERALLY CANT STOP HIM. OH, MAN, HE WAS FREE. THATS MAYBE THE BEST WAY I CAN SAY IT. LEDGER JUST LET LOOSE IN THIS ROLE. HE HAD NO ACTING QUIPS THAT I COULD SEE. THERE WAS NO SERIOUSNESS IN THE FACE OF THE JOKER. HE WAS ALWAYS UP TO SOMETHING. NOTHING PLANNED, BUT ALWAYS DOING SOMETHING. WHEN YOU SEE THE JOKER, TRUST ME. YOU DO NOT SEE HEATH LEDGER! THIS WAS AN ASTOUNDING, REMARKABLE, NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE, PERFORMANCE. YOU BELIEVE THE JOKER IS JUST WINGING IT AS HE GOES. AND HE WAS HILARIOUS. THE FUNNIEST PART WAS HIM EXITING A HOSPITAL. NO DIALOGUE, JUST HIM WALKING. THERE IS SO MUCH TO SAY, BUT ILL ONT GET INTO IT. WHEN THE MOVIE IS OVER YOU JUST REALIZE THAT WE HAVE LOST AN A PERSON WHO WOULD HAVE GIVEN US ALOT MORE FANTASTIC PERFORMANCES THAT WOULD HAVE COME FROM HIM. HE WILL BE REMEMBERED AND MISSED. LEDGER STOLE THE MOVIE. HE DEFINITELY PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE.
WRITER/DIRECTOR
WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE SAID BEFORE THIS ABOUT THE PERFORMANCES, NONE OF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPEND IF THE WRITING WAS BAD. LUCKILY, WRITER/DIRECTOR CHRIS NOLAN, ALONG WITH HIS BROTHER, WROTE AN INCREDIBLE SCRIPT THAT HAD SO MANY LAYERS. THEY PACKED THIS FILM WITH SO MUCH GOING ON THAT YOU HAD TO REALLY PAY ATTENTION. THEY EVEN WROTE A SCRIPT THAT ALSO INCLUDED SOCIAL COMMENTARY. I WONT GET TOO INTO IT, I MAY GIVE STUFF AWAY, BUT IT DOES INVOLVE SUBTLE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY. ASKS ALOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT US AND WHO WE ARE AS A CROWD AND AS AN INDIVIDUAL. I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE WRITING. THE DIRECTION OF THE FILM WAS MASTERFUL. CHRIS NOLAN BETTERED HIMSELF AS AN ACTION DIRECTOR. THE CAR CHASES SUPERCEDED THE PRIOR FILM. THERE WAS ALOT GOING ON IN THE CHASES AND HE DID A GREAT JOB GOING SLOWER AND GIVING YOU AN EYEFUL OF REALLY COOL STUFF. WITH THAT BEING SAID, NOLANSTILL NEED A BIT MORE WORK ON HIS SHOOTING OF THE BATMAN HAND TO HAND COMBAT AGAINST THUGS. NOT BRING FROM AN ACTION BACKGROUND, STILL LACKS KNOWLEDGE, BUT HE STILL IMPROVED SINCE "BEGINS". IM SURE HE WILL TAKE THE "BAT" FIGHTING TO NEW PLACES AS HE GOES OFF INTO THE NEXT ONE. BUT IN CONCLUSION, WHAT SUCKS IS THAT NOLAN TOOK THIS MOVIE SO FAR AND DID IT SO WELL, THAT I DONT THINK NOALN HIMSELF COULD MAKE ANY SEQUEL OF BATMAN ANY BETTER. HOWEVER, THERE WENT A LOT OF HARD WORK INTO MAKING THIS FILM FROM SCRATCH. YOU CAN SEE IT, AND YOU CAN APPRICIATE THE WORK GOING INTO IT. I VERY MUCH DID APPRICIATE THIS FILM. BEST OF 08'
MY RATING
YOU SHOULD HAVE ALREADY SEEN THIS MOVIE!!!!
HONORABLE MENTION
ERIC ROBERTS WAS IN THIS MOVIE! FIRST RUDGER HAUER, NOW ERIC ROBERTS. I HAVE TO ADMIT, I WAS GLAD TO SEE HIM IN THE MOVIE. HE DID PRETTY GOOD. OF COURSE, GARY OLDMAN NEEDS NO HONORABLE MENTION, HE IS THE MAN. OLDMAN BRINGS A SENSITIVITY AND HONOR TO THE ROLE OF GORDON. BUT, IT WAS GOOD TO SEE YOU ERIC. ALSO, I BELIEVE A STUNTMAN PASSED AWAY DURING THE MOVIE, SO MUCH RESPECT TO YOU SIR. REST IN PEACE. THERE WERE A FEW CAMEOS IN THE MOVIE. ONE CAMEO WAS MADE BY SOMEONE FROM THE "BEGINS" CAST. I DIDNT LIKE HOW QUCIKLY THIS PERSON CAME IN AND OUT. THE PERSON HAD LIKE FOUR LINES. IT IRKED ME. MICHEAL JAI WHITE WAS IN IT AS WELL. IT WAS GOOD NOT TO SEE HIM ACROSS FROM VAN DAMME IN A BADLY EDITED FIGHT SEQUENCE. JUST AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE AT THE MOVIES. WELL THATS IT FROM ME. HOPE YOU LIKE THE REVIEW, BUT I PROMISE YOU WILL DEFINTELY LOVE THE MOVIE. THANKS FOR READING.

TOP 5 I COULDNT SEE ACTOR IN ROLE....
OK, SO I HAVE HAD A FEW IDEAS ABOUT WHAT MOVIE STUFF I SHOULD HAVE. WELL, OF COURSE YOU NEED YOU "TOP" SOMETHING OR OTHER ON HERE. WELL, I HAVE A BUNCH OF THOSE. BUT TODAY, I WILL FOCUS ON MY TOP 5 "I COULDNT SEE THE ACTOR IN THE ROLE" ROLES. NOW TIME FOR DISCLAIMER, I DID NOT GIVE THIS TOP 5 ALOT OF THOUGHT, I M SURE IF I DID, I WOULD ADD OR SUBTRACT SOME FROM MY LIST. IF YOU HAVE DIFFERENT ROLES IN MIND, PLEAS FILL ME IN. LETS BEGIN.
1. HEATH LEDGER AS JOKER (THE DARK KNIGHT)
WELL,DUH, HANDS DOWN, COULD NOT SEE HEATH LEDGER IN THE CHARACTER OF THE JOKER. FOR A FEW REASONS. ONE, HE WAS NEVER A IN FRONT OF TABLOID, CAMERA, KIND OF GUY. HE ALWAYS HAD MYSTERY TO WHO HE WAS. SO THE LESS I KNEW OF HIM, THE BETTER I WAS IGNORANT TO MISS MR. LEDGER IN HE ROLE. I THOUGHT HE WAS GREAT. PERFECT.
2.LOUIS GOSSETT JR. (ENEMY MINE)
THE GUY WAS REALLY GOOD IN IT. TO THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN THE MOVIE, DENNIS QUAID, I BELIEVE, WAS STUCK IN THIS PLANET AND WAS BEFRIENDED,AFTER BEING ATTACKED UPON, BY GOSSETT IN THIS ALIEN MAKEUP. YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN SEE SOMEONE IN MAKEUP, WHETHER IT BE PROSTETIC OR NOT, YOU CAN STILL SEE ACTOR, WELL THIS ONE I COULDNT TELL.
3.ROBIN WILLIAMS AS MRS. DOUBTFIRE (MRS. DOUBTFIRE)
AT FIRST I WAS LIKE, OK, ITS HIM." BUT AS THE MOVIE WENT ON, I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ACTUAL WOMAN. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. I HAVE THE MOVIE. WILLIAMS WAS ON HIS GAME THEN.
4. ANTHONY HOPKINS AS HANNIBAL LECTOR (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS)
DUDE, WHAT CANT YOU SAY ABOUT THIS GUY'S PERFORMANCE IN THIS FILM? HE DELIVERS A PERFORMANCE THAT TRANSENDS WHO HOPKINS REALLY IS, WELL AT LEAST, I HOPE SO. BUT FOR SURE, I DIDNT AT ALL SEE THE ACTOR IN THIS ROLE. AND HE HAS THE OSCAR TO PROVE IT.
5.DUSTIN DIAMOND AS THE HULK (THE INCREDIBLE HULK)2008
ALL I CAN SAY IS, "WOW". WHEN NORTON CHANGES INTO THE HULK, I COULDNT AT ALL SEE SUSTIN THROUGH THAT GREEN MAKEUP. A BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK HAS THE CREW JUST SPRAY GREEN PAINT ON HIM, AND THATS IT. HE REALLY IS BUILT THAT WAY AND IS THAT TALL. AND NO, HE DID NOT PLAY ABOMINATION, THAT WOULD BE SILLY.
WELL THOSE ARE MY TOP 5 "I COULDNT SEE THE ACTOR ROLE" ROLES. WHICH WOULD YOU PUT ON THAT LIST? WELL, ILL BE BACK SOON AND BLOG SOME MORE. LATERS.

RAM'S MOVIE RULES
WELL, FOR MY FIRST BLOG HERE, I THOUGHT I WOULD INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU GUYS OUT THERE BY DOING SOMETHING ALITTLE LESS SUBSTANCE AND MORE FOR THE LAUGH. THE LAUGH AT ME. FOR SOME REASON ALOT OF PEOPLE GET MORE OF A KICK OUT OF LAUGHING AT ME, THAN LAUGHING WITH ME. THANKS GUYS. SOMETHING THAT HAS COME UP WHEN I GET TO KNOW NEW PEOPLE IS THAT WHEN EVER MOVIES ARE MENTIONED, SOMEONE WHO I HAVE GONE TO THE MOVIES WITH WILL THROW OUT MY RULES AND USE THEM TO GET A QUICK LAUGH AT MY EXPENSE. AND THATS FINE...FOR NOW. BUT ONE DAY I'LL KNOCK YOU DOWN, POINT A GUN TO YOU FACE, LOOK AT THE CAMERA AND SAY IN AN ARNOLD Schwarzenegger VOICE, " NOW THE JOKE...IS ON YOU.", AND BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF. UNTIL THAT DAY COMES, I'LL TAKE YOUR RIDICULE. NOW WHAT ARE THE RAM MOVIE RULES? HOW DID THEY START? ETC? I WONT ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, BEING THE FACT THAT THIS BLOG IS NOT INTERACTIVE. FUNNY THING IS, I ACTUALLY DONT REMEBER ALOT OF THE STORES THAT CAME WITH EACH RULE. I'LL DO THE BEST I CAN TO REMEMER.
NOW I AM KIND OF KNOWN TO BE A TAD OVER ZEALOUS ABOUT MOVIES. ASK CERTAIN FRIENDS, IT MAY BE MICHAEL BAY MOVIES, JOHN WOO, SPEILBERG, ETC. I JUST LOVE MOVIES, IS THAT REALLY SO WRONG? ANYWAY, AS AN AVID MOVIE GOER, THERE WERE THINGS I LEARNED FROM THE EXPERIENCE, SOME FROM JUST CREATIVITY, AND SOME FROM JUST SHEER STUPIDITY. BUT THEY ALL CAME TOGETHER TO FORM CAPTAIN PLANET...NO, WAIT, THE RULES, THE RULES. NOW LETS GET THIS STUFF OUT THERE SO YOU CAN DO IT.
GETTING TO MOVIE EARLY
I CAN NOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW FRUSTRATING IT WAS AS A KID TO GET TO THE MOVIE THEATER LATE OR DURING PREVIEWS DUE TO MY PARENTS DRAGGING OUT OF THE HOUSE. I HATED MISSING SOMETHING THAT I MAY HAVE ENJOYED. UNFORTUNATELY, EVEN NOW, WHEN I GO TO A MOVIE WITH A FRIEND, I STILL DEPEND ON THEM TO GET TO THE THEATER AT THE SAME TIME AS I WOULD. AND IT DOES HAPPEN THAT THEY WILL GET TO THE THEATER FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE MOVIE STARTS. THAT DRIVE ME MAD. ASK ANYONE WHO HAS EVER BEEN TO A MOVIE WITH ME. MY MOOD COMPLETELY CHANGES FROM HAPPY TO MAD. ITS LIKE I GET MOVIE BI-POLAR. IT SUCKS TO FIND A SEAT WHEN THE THEATER IS FULL OF PEOPLE ALL DUE TO YOU NOT GETTING THERE WHEN I SAID TO GO. I NEED TO BE THERE AT LEAST TWENTY TO THURTY MINUTES BEFORE THE MOVIE STARTS, I DONT CARE IF ITS MONDAY MORNING, I WILL BE THERE EARLY. IF THERE IS ONE CAR IN THE THEATER, I KNOW THAT GUY WILL TRY TO GET MY SEAT....AND IT'S ON!
PHONE USAGE IN THE THEATER IS LIFE THREATENING, YOUR LIFE
I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE FEEL THAT A PHONE BEING USED DURING A MOVIE IS INCLINED TO GET THAT PERSON, SHOT, STABBED, RUN OVER, OR TAR AND FEATHERED. I HAVE MADE COMMENTS AND THEATS TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE. I HAVE MADE COMMENTS TO KIDS AND LOOKED AT THE PARENTS, LIKE, I WONT HIT YOUR KID, BUT BE ASSURED I'LL KNOCK YOU OUT IF YOUR KID DOESNT GET OF THAT PHONE!" AGAIN, IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME, ASK PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN MOVIES WITH ME. TEXTING IS THE NEW BIG THING ABOUT THE THEATER PLEASURE THAT IS BEING SUCKED OUT OF GOING TO THE MOVIES. YEAH, I CAN HEAR YOU TALK, BUT HAVING A BEAM OF LIGHT COMING FROM YOUR HAND LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO SIGNAL THAT YOU HAVE A CARNIVAL GOING ON IN YOUR POPCORN IS STILL NOT COOL. THAT WILL GET YOU CUT. SO YEAH, NO PHONES DURING MOVIE. NOW, SOME FRIENDS MAY EVEN SAY I GET UPSET IF THE PHONE IS USED DURING PREVIEWS, AND I SAY OK, I MAY HAVE ONCE OR TWICE HAVE GOTTEN UPSET FOR PHONE USAGE DURING PREVIEWS, AND I CAN DEAL WITH THAT.
GET PLENTY OF PAPER TOWELS
THIS ONE IS THE ONE THAT GET S THE MOST LAUGHS TOWARD ME, BUT IT IS ALSO THE SMARTEST THING THAT CAN BE DONE IF YOU BUY A LARGE BAG OF POPCORN. TRUST ME, I HAVE PAID FOR THAT RULE IN SPADES, COMING OUT OF THE THEATER LOOKING LIKE I PEED ON MYSELF. THE MOVIE WASNT THAT GOOD. I GET A BUNCH OF PAPER TOWELS, LIKE TWENTY, THEN PLACE TEN OR SO ON MY LAP, WHERE THE POPCORN WILL GO, THEN FIVE FOR AFTER THE EATING TO WIPE MY HANDS, AND THE REST, HERES WHERE THE LAUGH COME, I WEAR ALMOST, ALMOST LIKE A BIB, SO I DONT GET BUTTER ON MY SHIRT. I THINK THAT IS SMART. YOU SAVE YOURSELF THE HARDSHIP OF LOOKING LIKE YOU DROOLED AND PEED ON YOUR SHIRT AND PANTS.
SEATING ARRANGEMENTS
THIS RULE LASTED ABOUT A YEAR, MOSTLY BECAUSE I RARELY WENT WITH PEOPLE TO THE MOVIES. BUT WHEN I STARTED MAKING MOVIE BUDDIES, THIS RULE WENT BYE-BYE. A SEAT IN BETWEEN WAS THE RULE. I WOULD SIT ON A SEAT, WHETHER YOU WERE BOY OR GIRL, YOU WOULD SKIP A SEAT AND SIT ON THE NEXT ONE . THEN I WAS TOLD IT SOUNDED GAY BY GIRL/FRIENDS WHO WENT TO MOVIES WITH ME. SO I SAID OK, GIRLS CAN SIT NEXT TO ME. THEN A GUY FRIENDS JUST SAT NEXT TO ME BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT LOOKED WEIRD AND STUPID TO BE A SEAT APART TO SOMEONE YOU CAME WITH TO THE MOVIES SINCE YOU WANTED TO TALK TO THEM. SO THAT RULE WAS DUMB BUT STILL A RULE.
EATING PROTOCOL OF THE POPCORN
OK, NOW I GET MORE GRIEF THAN LAUGHS TO THIS ONE RULE, MOSTLY BECAUSE I ACTUALLY STILL APPLY IT. HERES THE RULE, WHEN I SIT DOWN WITH YOU, THE PERSON ACCOMPANYING ME TO THE MOVIE, YOU HAVE LITERALLY, UNTIL THE PREVIEWS START TO EAT POPCORN OR TO TAKE SOME POPCORN OUT AND PLACE IT ONTO YOUR PAPER TOWEL. ONCE THE PREVIEWS START, THEN, YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR POPCORN CONSUMPTION IS AT AN END. I WILL START EATING THE POPCORN AT AN ALARMING PACE. I USE MY HAND AS A SCOOP AND DOWN THE POPCORN. TWENTY MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE, THE POPCORN IS GONE. ASK ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO A MOVIE WITH ME IF IM LYING, I CLEARLY AM NOT. AND REFILLS, WHEN AVALIABLE, ILL NOT BE USED UNTIL AFTER THE MOVIE IS OVER. WHO GETS UP DURING THE MOVIE TO GET A REFILL, THE MOVIE IS ON.
TALKING DURING THE MOVIE
UNACCEPTABLE! YOU CAN NOT TALK DURING THE MOVIE. AN OBSERVATION IS ALLOWED, BUT A CONVERSATION CAN NOT BE HAD DURING THE DURATION OF THE MOVIE. IF YOU TALK TO ME, FOR ANYTHING, YOU WILL NOTICE MY EYES DO NOT, FOR A SECOND, LEAVE FOCUS FROM THE SCREEN. I WILL NOT BLINK FOR MOST OF THE MOVIE.
NO KIDS MOVIES
THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE OLDER ONES, WHEN I THOUGHT OF GOING TO THE MOVIES TO SEE A KIDS FILM ALONE. I DIDNT WANT TO GO SEE A KIDS FILM ALONE, I FELT LIKE A PEDIPHILE. SO, I NEVER WENT TO KIDS MOVIES.
AS FAR AS I CAN THINK, THATS IT. IM SURE IM MISSING SOME, BUT I CAN THINK OF IT NOW. BUT THOSE ARE MY RULES. PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM WENT AWAY, BUT A FEW STILL COME AROUND EVERY NOW AND AGAIN. SURE YOU CAN LAUGH AT EM NOW, BUT YOU KNOW YOU WILL BE GRABBING ALOT OF PAPER TOWELS, EATING THE POPCORN AT PREVIEWS, ETC., WHEN YOU GO TO THE MOVIES. WELL, UNTIL NEXT TIME.
NOW I AM KIND OF KNOWN TO BE A TAD OVER ZEALOUS ABOUT MOVIES. ASK CERTAIN FRIENDS, IT MAY BE MICHAEL BAY MOVIES, JOHN WOO, SPEILBERG, ETC. I JUST LOVE MOVIES, IS THAT REALLY SO WRONG? ANYWAY, AS AN AVID MOVIE GOER, THERE WERE THINGS I LEARNED FROM THE EXPERIENCE, SOME FROM JUST CREATIVITY, AND SOME FROM JUST SHEER STUPIDITY.
