Prisoners

For me, there are two types of films. Some movies flow into your skull for the two hours that you’re sitting in the theatre and then they escape right after you leave. Then there are a select few films that stay with you long after you’ve left your trash behind for the ushers to clean up.

Which brings me to my point. Why the hell don’t you guys clean up after yourselves? What the hell is going on here? Sure, I understand if you drop your popcorn, I know you can’t be picking that stuff up, but why not grab your empty cups and popcorn bags.

So why don’t we just do what “Woodsie the Owl” always taught us, “Give a hoot, don’t pollute!” Which brings me to my second point. Why the hell can’t I even get through a paragragh without jumping off topic. Is it because I care about movie theatre pollution? Or maybe it’s because I always want things to be perfect when I go to the theatre.

We’re all movie reviewers, right? You don’t go to the movies to see a film and hope that I like it, do you? Let me answer that for you: Of course you don’t! You go to see a movie with the hopes that YOU like it. Who gives a hoot what anyone else thinks. Hell, if I lived my movie-reviewing life that way, then I would have had to hate “Freejack”. (Which I personally think was a fantastic film. Kudos to you Emilio Estevez, Rene Russo, Mick Jagger, David Johanson (A.K.A. Buster Poindexter) and Sir Anthony Hopkins.)
