I just had genuinely the worst experience in a movie theater in my entire life.
My friends and I went to see Get Out tonight, which if you haven’t seen it, is a fantastic movie, it’s funny, it’s tense, it’s creepy, and most of all it’s got a statement to make. Or, at least it’s supposed to.
My roommate and I had already seen it once, and we were going again because our buddy hadn’t seen it yet and he was really excited to because he’d heard good things. I feel so fucking sorry for this friend of mine because the entire experience of the movie was fucking gutted because we were sharing the theater with easily the worst fucking audience I’ve ever had the displeasure of being a part of.
Throughout the entire fucking movie there were people talking, taking fucking selfies with the flash on, laughing at completely inappropriate times of the film, or just generally being completely obnoxious. There was one point when people started clapping, which blows my fucking mind.
The motherfuckers who took the cake though were these fucking tits who first of all, waltzed into the theater halfway through the fucking movie, at which point some other faggot started explaining the plot to them, and one of them in particular was being so fucking loud, reacting to every single thing that happened on screen with his own personal commentary, and to boot, he was fucking vaping and blowing clouds up in front of the screen.
There was one moment in particular, during a rather dramatic part of the movie, I won’t go into details to avoid spoilers, but something intense had just happened and this fucking sack of shit yells out “MAH NIGGA” and the entire rest of the audience erupted in laughter. I’ve never wanted to straight up Fight someone in public before but god damn do I wish that guy would just die.
We tried asking him to shut the fuck up more than once, but he just responded by saying “Geez, calm down” and saying things at us in another language.
Then on top of all this, after the movie was over, I go to the bathroom to take a piss and this exact fucking guy comes in and uses the urinal right next to me and asks “hey you enjoy the movie?”
I told him I’d have enjoyed it a lot more if he hadn’t been fucking talking through the whole thing to which he responded “Oh come on man, everyone was laughing, you’re just hating, your whole group are just haters.”
This is legitimately the first time I’ve ever encountered any theater disruptions on such a large scale, and the only thing that comes close is the time I saw Gone Girl and some mentally handicapped guy sat beside me and started yelling at me because I guess the voices in his head told him to. So it’s not like I can even say “general audiences” are fucking abysmal people and should fucking kill themselves because most movies I go to are nothing like this, but straight up I hope that every son of a bitch in that audience would get ass cancer because they’re evidently all too fucking stupid to really appreciate a movie like Get Out.
Like if I had gone to see Fate of the Furious, sure I could understand why people would talk or jeer or whatever because it’s a stupid bullshit movie that only exists as empty special effects and explosions and shit to hold the attention of infantile dipshits like these.
I guess the moral of the story is never go and see a fucking movie on a Friday night because that’s apparently when every asshole in town goes to the theater.
