Worst......Movie.....Experience.......Ever

Ok, where do I begin? I recently went to the movies to catch a flick. I was taking in a matinee of Friday The 13th during the week after I got done with class, and what took place in the theater was much scarier than what was on the big screen.

I thought at one point I was being punked. I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to pop out with a camera laughing, but then I realized I'm not famous and Ashton has no idea who I am. So the only realization I could come to was that I was at the movies with 10 of the most annoying people on the planet.

I get to the theater for the 3:30 p.m. showing thinking that I'd probably be the only one there considering it was a Thursday, which I was. So I sit top-middle to give me the best possible seat I could get. With about 10 minutes to go before the show starts, four kids walk in, probably around 18-years-old, and sit in the four seats directly in front of me, even though there were about 80 empty seats and my feet were resting comfortably on the chairs they chose.

I instantly began to laugh to myself and started looking around almost hoping there was someone else that saw this. To make matters worse, they started laughing and talking like 18-year-old's do, which really pissed me off.

Five minutes to go now, and two more people walk in. They begin walking up the isle and stop in my row, sitting right next to me leaving only one chair between us. I'm in total shock now. Is this a joke?

As soon as they sit down two more people walk in, come up the other isle and sit in my row on my other side. Only they left two seats between us. I'm beginning to lose it. It's not that I'm not a people person, or that I get claustrophobic when surrounded, it's just that i was completely comfortable in a theater alone and all of a sudden these schmucks have me surrounded and feeling very uneasy.

The previews begin and I think it can't get worse until two more people walk in, come up the isle and sit in the seats directly behind me. As they sit down, one of them answers their phone and talks on it for at least 2 minutes.

I was now pissed. But what do I do? If I move I have to walk by them and then would feel like they were staring at me the whole movie because I moved away from them all.

I decided to stick it out. It was the wrong thing to do. The whole movie I couldn't even concentrate because every time Jason stuck his fucking hockey-masked face out every person around me jumped while my chair was getting knocked in each and every direction. I got popcorn coming at me from the front, M&M's from behind and I don't even know what the assholes to my right were throwing on me. Some sort of deli meat I think.

Plus they all were the horror-movie talkers. You know, talking to the people on the screen. Jesus.

It was the worst movie experience I've ever had......well, except for when I saw Chain Reaction in the theaters. Keanu Reeves was worse in that film than any asshole next to me could ever be.

And the weirdest thing was the movie wasn't even half-bad. Not great, but definitely worth seeing. However, based on my latest movie going experience, I'd wait for DVD.
