i'm not the kind of person who complains about everything, but here i am! this happened a while ago when i went to see dune 2. the cinema was crowded, and we all settled into our seats, waiting for the movie to start. on the right side of my seat, a woman was sitting alone. then a lovely young couple walked in and sat on my other side, each holding an xl popcorn. while they walked, the smell spread all around and it was tempting, and i thought about getting one for myself.
the moment they sat down, immediately started pouring popcorn into each other's mouths, completely unaware of the enormous amount of noise they were making. since the movie hadn't started yet, i was holding onto the hope that the noise would be drowned out once it did. wrong! they were right next to me, and somehow, they had a magical popcorn that never seemed to run out, no matter how much they kept chewing, nonstop, full speed. the lone woman i mentioned earlier couldn't take it anymore and left within the first 15 minutes.
in the end, i left the movie regretting that i hadn't just watched it at home, where i could eat my own popcorn at a fraction of the cost and in peace. is this newly developed intolerance toward people, especially when we're alone, about being jealous of couples in a masked way, or is it a legitimate complaint?
on the one hand, i want to see movies on that gigantic screen with epic sound systems, but on the other, i love my cozy place at home where i watch movies, usually by myself, without being disrupted by strangers' behaviors.
maybe the middle ground is the way to go; just see movies during off-hours on weekdays to get the best of both worlds.
nice: all
