LIGHTS, CAMERA... (INAPPROPRIATE GIGGLES)...ACTION!

Don't you just love it when you get a chance to watch a movie you've been wanting to see for ages? You get good seats, great snacks and most importantly great company... but then...

THE IDIOTS* IN THE SEATS NEXT TO YOU DON'T SHUT UP. FOR. THE. ENTIRE. FILM...

THE AIR-CONDITIONING HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF EVEN THOUGH THE CINEMA IS FULL...

AND PEOPLE LAUGH AT THE MOST. INAPPROPRIATE. MOMENTS.

Okay, I'm done ranting now, and if you're wondering, today's post shall be on something completely unrelated to art, but related to the shocking lack of manners in society nowadays...

MOVIE ETIQUETTE 101

1. The most obvious because we're so frequently reminded: "Please put your [damn] cellphone on silent"... Nothing on Instagram can be that important whilst watching a movie.

2.  If you have an attention span of 5 minutes, please do everyone in the cinema a favour and  don't bother going. Cinemas don't have pause buttons. Go home.

3. You shall not put your feet on the seat in front of you if there is someone sitting in it! You shall not kick the seat either...

4. There is  nothing wrong with talking in the movies... If you're whispering. Really people, it's not that hard to whisper, just talk softly.

5. And finally, don't spoil the movie by reacting like an idiot*. Laugh when it's appropriate, not during the heart wrenching scene of someone dying.

That's my share of movie etiquette... for now. Enjoy your movies and popcorn.

Until we meet again
