What Not to Do at the Movies

Taboos in the Cinema

It never fails. I am seated quite nicely in the theater when a couple arriving during the previews decides to sit directly in front of me, only to make their romantic comedy. Please, please, do not be these people. Remember you are not the only person in the theater. Several rules are posted in the theater regarding conduct, but some unwritten rules exist.

Refrain from kicking the back of my seat. This is less of a problem in a stadium style seated theater, but in case we are in a traditional cinema, keep your feet off my seat. Also, please make sure your kid is not kicking the back of my seat either. Also be aware that the seats in front of you are not footrests, peoples heads will be where your dirty pair of shoes once rested, show some courtesy.

Open your smuggled drink prior to the start of the feature. Listen, if you want to circumvent the horrible prices at the concession stand, be a polite crook and open that bottle or can prior to when the dialog I paid ten bucks for starts. That goes for that crinkly bag of chips too!

Do not bring in a full course meal. I am so sorry you missed dinner, it is not like the theater posts the times the movies start in about fifty locations. How could you possibly know that the rest of the theater does not want to smell your sandwich, pizza, or even fried chicken? Stop at the concession stand and buy some popcorn, maybe even a few Jr. Mints, if you are hungry. Or even, perish the thought, use that brain of yours and allow enough time to stop and eat BEFORE coming to the movie.

The rest …

Dark Tower Movie

MoviesJuly 19, 2019February 5, 2020 britney

So there is a rumor that J.J. Abrams (Lost, Fringe, Star Trek) and Stephen King are talking.
Talking about making not one, not two, but seven Dark Tower movies. Whether these movies will be based on the novels or the graphic novels is unknown at this point.

Today I went to see an old friend of mine and we got to talking about this possible series and who we would cast as each of the characters. The list follows:

My ideal “Dark Tower” movie cast:

Roland- Mickey Rourke
One bad ass (see Sin City “Marv”) I think he could play Roland
very well and be versatile enough to encompass all that Roland is
and becomes

Eddie- Johnny Depp or Christan Bale
Johnny Depp can do anything and do it well. He is very versatile and
can convince people that he is a crazed Heroin addict who becomes
a gunslinger. Christan Bale is big right now and shows off his
gunslinger/ sword fu in Equilibrium

Cuthbert- Ryan Reynolds
Sexy, smart ass, and cut. Ryan played Dead pool perfectly and I can
hear him mouthing off to Roland. I could also see him as Eddie.

Jake- Ed Sanders
This little guy stole my heart and the show in Sweeney Todd. He
also works really well with Johnny Depp. I think he is one talented
kid.

Susannah- Judy Reyes or Jada Pickett Smith
Both a strong women who have done well in their fields. Jada is
an overall phenomenal woman. And I loved Judy as Carla on Scrubs
for the past eight years. She was never afraid to speak her mind
and she was vulnerable and tough at the same time.

Cort- Bruce Willis
Bald bad ass
That is all

Man in Black- Cillian Murphy
The Scarecrow in both new Batman movies. Creepy …

Personality Through Music

MusicJuly 17, 2019February 5, 2020 britney

Have you ever wondered why you act the way you do? The type of music you listen to has a lot to do with who you are or what your personality will be. Music has changed a lot in the past couple of decade, (Take for instance this day in age) Rap, R&B;, Hip-Hop has developed rapidly through teens all over the world. Rap was first introduced back in the late 1970’s and has grown to what it is today. About 90% of all rap songs have to do with gangs, drugs, violence, sex, and home life. Rappers capture the ears of young listeners because they can relate to the songs. Proven fact: Rap stresses teens and causes them to drive their car in anger. When teens drive in anger they run more red lights, are more careless, and drive over the speed limit. It is also a stereotype that rap causes anger to all teens. It is not true that if you listen to rap you will end up in a gang or gun fight. Rap is not all to blame for violence in society. Many rappers come from poor, low income areas. Because of this, many rappers rap about their experiences on the streets and what they have seen. In a way, you can blame the the economy for the violence because of the poor economy decades ago.

Everyone is different from one another and have different interests in genres of music. This is what makes you who you are. Everyone sees everything differently. The type of music you listen to while you are growing up affects how you will see things in life.

Back in the 1960s and 1970s there was a lot of so called “happy music” being produced through musicians. There was that stereotype that …
