Am I the only one who thinks “picking your seats” before walking in to the theater is annoying? I hate it… Oulocal art house theater did that and one of the Cinemark theaters did that, and I hate it. How do you know where to sit if you’re not able to stand there and figure out the best place? You have o guess or try to remember based on a little diagram… And unlike the heathens if MPW, I don’t like to pretend I’m at home watching a small television screen way down on the floor. I want the surround sound and huge screen taking up my entire viewing space. Middle of the theater. You people drive me nuts with your “back of the theater” crap. What kind of philistine wants to sit way in the back where the speakers aren’t even pointed at you and the screen may as well be a television at the bottom of a gulch.
I haven’t even gotten to the reviews yet and all this glub glub about the back if the theater nonsense ND buying tickets days ahead if time is driving me nuts. And ANOTHER thing! I write a nice little poem months ago and I have yet to hear And see response to my adoring rhyme-scheme that set him a an absolute star… But is there any appreciation for the Capper? Nein!
Randy Andy Pandy left the podcast show,
Jay wept, he never thought the man would go.
Carl shrugged shoulders with sighing heave,
And Ryan santhete stunned he just could not believe.
So Mandy Sandy Landy took to the darkened streets.
The echoes of the weeping following the backs of his feet
He bought a ticket down at the muckluck one
Weeping, Jay blubbered that they “weren’t done”
Carl followed shortly with a grumpy sigh of annoyance
The three of them sat there and called up Ryan to “join us”
The film started rolling and they all just gasped…
They suddenly realized that this all was a trap!
Juan ran the projector and Dino closed the door
Jody laughed maniacally and said “We all wanted more!”
Randy Andy Pandy tried to stand in shock
To find he was shackled and that Jay had a lock!
Carl said “it figures” and was resigned to his fate.
Andy tried to warn Ry but it was too late.
The show begins prompt at a quarter to 8.
Sitting in a half empty theater with reserve seats, forced to the front because of no-shows and people showing up late even though we had to buy Tix an hour ago. I hate reserve seats.
