The Invisible.

[shadow pirate]

This thread is going to be a half discussion/ half rant, so be warned.

I went out to see the Invisible, and thought that the movie was really good. The beginning of the movie was really, really, reaaaaaaally slow. I mean, slower than a snail that's glued to a stick. That slow. Don't go into this movie thinking, "Oh, I'm sure he'll die right around the beginning of the movie, and then it will be him trying to figure things out." Guess what? It's not. It takes forever for this guy to die, and it's almost a relief when he does. "Finally, the movie can get to the good part!" And it does. After he dies, the movie gets much more interesting. The ending is a little depressing though. Discuss the movie if you wish.

Now to the rant. I have no rant against the movie, but rather some people watching the movie. 2 things here: an entire row of people talking, and something that, in order to not spoil the surprise of how terrible these people were, I will not mention the second group until I begin discussing them.

Let's begin with the row of talkers. These people were about middle or high school age, and they were talking before the movie. And I imagine they weren't the smartest, since they figure Mr. Fantastic wasn't in the movie The Fantastic Four, in favor of a character made up by the nice little pass-tim by the name of Mr. Spleen. Now hold on. Mr Spleen. How could they not get that that character was made up. More importantly, Mr. Fantastic? He has something from the title in his name! How hard can it be? Anyway, they talked constantly. I mean, they never shut up. I'm walking to the bathroom, and I hear one of them say that "Oh, it's a graduation party!" No wai. It's only totally obvious. Great deductive skills, Holmes, now stop talking. They never did though. NEVER. And every time one of them got up to do something, they all did, doubling the noise coming out of their mouth-parts in the process. And when they got back, you might as well start up the music, because I swear to God they were playing musical chairs. It was terrible.

And now to my favorite. Even worse than the talkers, there were two people who looked like they went to my school with a camera. They would take random pictures of the characters during the movie. The best part? They didn't even bother to turn off the flash. Why not just take a gigantic neon sign, point it over your head, and say "I'M TAKING PICITURES OF TEH MOVIE, AND I'M NOT EVEN BOTHER BY THE FACT THAT IT'S ANNOYING YOU GREATLY!!" At one point, someone from the audience went down to them, cussing them out and saying "If I see that flash one more time..." and then some kind of threat. Meanwhile, two ushers were in the theater, probably with the intention to inform them to stop taking pictures. But someone beat them to it, and probably did more justice to the situation than the ushers would. Apparently, the ushers told the managers what was happening, but they "Didn't want to make a scene." That's too bad, because they would make less of a scene than they did throughout the movie. I believe they left of their own accord, but in a rather swift manner.

These two groups combined made the movie terrible to watch. I wish they would have some kind of disclaimer saying, "People. Shut up in the theater. We reserve the right to throw you out if you do not. Got it?" I imagine it would lower the problem, but not quite get rid of it. That's OK, when they get thrown out they can't shout that "U CAN'T DO THIS TOO ME!" because they can.

Discuss?

Our theater has a rule that if you talk, you're out.

Your theater is awesome.

Actually, we do have one like that here, but their popcorn makes me vomit. The manager is awesome. If someone is screwing around, he will walk up to that person and say, "Get out of my theater now." It's amazing. No please, no excuse me, just get out.

The only rule in my theater is NO CELLPHONES. Arg! I hate that rule cause I'm not a loud talker.

What does loud talking having to do with cellphones? My place. No talking. But they still laugh. Eat but don't spill. Cellphones are put in the lounge. So you can pick it up later. Its kind of boring but I don't know why some people like to go there.

I was thinking to go see this.

BUT.

I have never seen a scary movie.
Could you tell me if anything pops out?
or a sudden jerk?

I have tiny panic attacks.. >_<

If someone talks in our theatre, they silently get ushered out.

There's like, one or two scenes where it's a cheap scare. Some dude gets punched in the face right before the guy dies, and he later randomly falls on a cop car. Other than that, no scaryness.

Haven't seen Next, so naturally my answer is going to be biased and say The Invisible. The ending is depressing, in case I forgot to mention it in the OP.

 

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

I saw Next, LOL.

The Invisible wasnt playing at the theatre near me.

It was good.
Nicolas Cage took his shirt off twice.

Leaves alot of questions unanswered though.
