Dan and I went to Slumdog Millionaire finally on Friday! It was really good, there were some parts that were hard to watch..but I loved loved loved it! Of course it made me feel horribly guilty, but it made me experience every emotion and I loved that. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you do!
Which brings me to my next point. What is people's movie etiquette? Yeah, I know i am picky, but seriously it is bad...
1. When the theater is pretty empty, is it necessary to sit DIRECTLY in front of or behind someone. The answer is NO. If there is room, please respect the personal space of others. Thank you.
2. We are all watching the movie and are hearing and seeing the same things you are. There is no need to repeat quotes or state the obvious of what is happening. I am glad you are enjoying the movie, but keep it to yourself.
3. Movie times are posted for a reason and the don't change. I understand everyone once in awhile you might be running late. But please, do not walk up and down the stairs on the side aisle discussing loudly where you are going to sit. Take the first seat you find and take it. Also, you probably don't have to sit by all of your friends at the movie, if there are 10 of you and theater is packed, it is ok to separate. You are there to watch the movie not chat with your friends.
4. I know movies are great places for dates, but please save the PDA for after. If I can hear you making out over the movie, you should probably leave and get a room.
5. If you do end up having someone sit directly in front of you or behind you. Please be kind and don't put your feet on their seat. And if you are in front of someone please do not knock your seat into the person behind you's knees. Thank you!
Thank you for hearing me out!!
Now on a lighter note, I saw this and it looked like fun and I had some time to kill while Dan corrected tests!
1.Pick 25 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess. Tag 20 of your friends.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
1. No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
2. It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
3. I love them redheads!
4. It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. I've outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers mind you, I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now. She's fast enough for you old man
5. You can't do this to me, I'm an AMERICAN.
6. Oh, no, we're not asking you to lose weight. That would be illegal. We just want you to be healthy, by eating less. So go home, weigh yourself on a scale, write than down. Then subtract 20 from that number. And weigh that. Yeah.
7. Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?
8. Like I'd marry you! You'd be the meanest wife ever, okay? And I know that you weren't bored that day because there was a lot of stuff on TV, and then 'The Blair Witch Project' was coming on Starz and you were like 'I haven't seen this since it came out and if so we should watch it' and then 'but oh, no, we should just make out instead la la la'
9. At least you'll never be a vegetable - even artichokes have hearts.
10. When I was growing up, I knew I was different. The other girls were blonde and delicate, and I was a swarthy six-year-old with sideburns.
11. Pandora can't go back into the box - he only comes out.
12.---: You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.
----: You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die.
13. What's normal? Those damn Dawson's River kids, sleeping in each other's beds and whatnot?
14. I'm very drunk and I intend on getting still drunker before this evening's over.
15. ------: Well, Brian, this is a very nutritious lunch. All the food groups are represented. Did your mom marry Mr. Rogers?
------: Uh, no. Mr. Johnson.
16. No, not I! Aright, she started it, aright? Because she was like "I hate my job, I'm gonna burn this mother down!" And I said "You better not... you better not!"
17. If I could only have one food for the rest of my life? That's easy, Pez, cherry-flavored Pez. No question about it.
18. When somebody asks me a question, I tell them the answer.
19. Neil! I wanna party with you! I WANNA PARTY WITH YOU!
20. It costs more to have someone born than to have someone killed!
21. Listen to me. I need to you say the line. I need you to say "I will piss on the bones of your ancestors"...
22. Sand is overrated. It's just tiny, little rocks.
23. Hey cowgirls, see the grass? Don't eat it.
24. Three dimes, a hundred dollar bill and 87 ones.
25. My apologies. I have a nephew named Anfernee, and I know how mad he gets when I call him Anthony. Almost as mad as I get when I think about the fact that my sister named him Anfernee.

Doug and I went to see "He's just not that into You" on Saturday and this couple had their TODDLER in there with them. And of course, he got fussy and started crying. WTF, people?! Thankfully, they got shushed and took their kid out of the theater.
I also hate it when people slurp their sodas or munch loudly. I honestly don't enjoy going to the theater very much anymore. I'd rather devote the money to Netflix and watch movies in the comfort of my own living room.
OK- most of these lines I do not recognize, but here are the ones I know:
#3 - Dazed and Confused
#4 - Star Wars, Episode IV
#6 - Knocked Up
#12 - The Princess Bride
#15 - The Breakfast Club
Great post about movie etiquette... in a comment related to Erin's, I hate it when parents bring their pre-teen kids into an R-rated movie. We were at "Tropic Thunder" a while back, and these parents with 3 pre-teens in tow sit right in front of us. Totally ruined the movie for me, because all I could think is, "WHY would someone bring their kids to an adult movie??" Actually, the worst part was some of the PREVIEWS, which were sooo skanky and bad. That's my other pet peeve--how nasty some of the previews are. Uggh. And when I go to see an Oscar-worthy movie like "Slumdog" or "The Wrestler," I think the previews should be at a certain caliber, too. Not the stupid crappy movies.
OK, I know only a few of your movie lines:
1. Anchorman
2. Silence of the Lambs?? (That's one of your faves?) Then all the one that Erin listed...
and that's it for me!
Oooh!
7. Donnie Darko
8. Juno
10. My Big Fat Greek Wedding
13. 10 Thinks I Hate About You
18. Slumdog
23. A League of Their Own
24. Big
25. Mean Girls
Hope you're feeling better!
