I think we should bring back basic etiquette lessons such as shutting the fuck up when you’re watching a movie in a group that is not exclusively your friend group 🙂
#welcome to another Mick Airs Out Their Grievances and by god is it a VERY long one
#prob best if u don't expand the tags
#am I being maybe a bit meaner about this than I would be for any other movie? maybe but pac rim is one of my favorite movies of all time
#so I think I get a pass on this one.
#one of the groups on campus is hosting movie nights & I went to this one bc I've only ever watched pac rim on my laptop and wanted to watch
#it on a larger screen. yay yippee I love this movie!
#there r maybe 10-ish of us in this room and a three person friend group is sitting on the couch one of whom has seen the movie and two who
#have not. okay so far so normal.
#and then the movie starts and they won't! stop! fucking! commentating! the whole fucking movie!!! I don't have a problem with doing that
#when I'm in just my friend group because I know that I can tell my friend to stop talking or pause the movie or whatnot but not when I'm in
#a large group w people I'm not good friends with ffs
#and the comments aren't even funny or anything they're all oh this is JUST like in iron widow!! oh they're SO gay and autistic!!! and
#they're talking so loud about this that it completely drowns out the movie audio which has already been turned up a few times
#like. be considerate!! some of us want to yknow actually listen to what's going on and not whatever bullshit you're saying
#I nearly walked out three or four times before I actually wound up doing so
#I may have been a bit of a bitch at the end but I don't care. I got up to leave because this was not an enjoyable environment and one of
#them offered to turn the movie down if it was too loud. this caught me a bit off guard since I expected them to still be so wrapped up in
#their convo and. well. I may have said 'it's not the movie that's too loud' before closing the door
#this also reminds me a lot about my issues with online shipping culture and it bleeding through into how we interact with media irl
#this is probably heavily influenced by my aromanticism but I'm so sick of people constantly reading romantic relationships into everything
#AND placing more importance on those relationships than any other form. I don't mind romance in media. I think if done right it has great
#emotional impact on a story but when a movie is running and when other people who may not want to hear it are in the room watching it too
#is not the time to be loudly saying 'he's autistic!' 'they're in love!' 'she has a crush on him!'
#I have my own interpretations of the movie some of which agree with what they said and some of which don't but that's beside the point of
#knowing how to coexist politely in public
#anyway. I think they were awful and annoying and they ruined my night out.
#I think I'm just so incredibly mad about this because I love the movie and I was looking forward to watching it in a group of people who
#found it cool as well while still having some modicum of politeness
#I almost wish I had been meaner but that's the extreme annoyance talking I think
#hater hour over love u guys bye
