Cinema Code of Conduct

  1. That's a good one but it's hard to comply. I remember I was laughing during Titanic and it wasn't appreciated by those close by.

  2. That's why I seldom go to the theater. When I do go and have to smother myself, it's usually because my son has insisted that I go see a movie he insists will be good. Like Robin Hood. He gets upset when we leave the theater with me pointing out all the absurdities in the film. I wonder why people do not invite me to movies? My wife is the same. We are both very hard on movies. We love picking them apart, if they are bad.

  3. While it would clearly be wrong to snark and nitpick every minor flaw during the movie (afterwards is another story) there are times when a film asks the audience to swallow patent nonsense that a vocal reaction is reasonable and appropriate.

    1. Showing our intellectual superiority in a theater crowded with the ignorant masses might not be a good idea. I prefer to stick with the eye roll and sigh.
