musings on manners

Welcome back from the long Labor Day Weekend everyone! I know I was sitting around relaxing all weekend enjoying the idea of 3 whole days without work. *Le sigh* it was wonderful. Andy and I continued our celebration of our reunion by going to two of our favorite restaurants this weekend, and one is looking right out over the harbor and they gave us one of the best tables in the house. It was a BEA-utiful night :) Hope all of your weekends were as relaxing and great as mine :)

However, there is one thing that happened this weekend that I wanted to post about. I'm trying not to gripe here, more a "musing on manners" if you will. Andy and I went to see the movie Pineapple Express this weekend. Granted, it's not going to be winning any Academy Awards and the movie was about stoners, but it was humorous in its' own way.

Anyway, we went to a show in the middle of the afternoon hoping it wouldn't be too crowded but we were wrong. It was super crowded. About 10 minutes into the show, a few guys came in and sat next to us, which is fine although i do think it's rude to show up late to the show. But the person next to me found this movie to be absolutely HILARIOUS. Like, to the point that he kept repeating the lines and laughing (loudly) like (OMG DUDE, HE JUST SAID ****!!! AHAHAHAHA) and his laugh was so incredibly loud that the dialogue kept being drowned out by this one man's laughter.

Now, I'm all for enjoying yourself at the movies, I mean that's what they are made for, but when your enjoyment means no one else can enjoy the movie? I really think the guy had to be on drugs. Like I said, it was a stoner movie, so no big surprise there. Am I the only one this upsets? Like I said, not trying to rant, just trying to point out that yes, please have a good time when you go to the movies, but try to have fun and let other people enjoy it too. If you can't hear the next joke because you're still repeating the last joke you found so funny, no one around you can hear it either!
