Link: Time Goes By - What it's really like to get older.
I discovered Ronni Bennett's blog this morning, and delighted in reading her rant on the deterioriating movie going experience. Writing as the Crabby Old Lady, she touts rude people with ringing cell phones, crying babies and misbehaving children as part of the problem. And the lack of movie management's controlling the environment for the rest of the patrons.
The movie-going experience has deteriorated in more ways, and I blame the theater owners. Ushers to hush the crowd...there are no ushers. There aren't even people in the projection booth. Several times this year there has been a problem with the movie (one time it burned) and it takes a patron going out to notify the manager to get it fixed.
And of course, there is the movie industry. More and more the trailers give away the best moments of the movie. I've concerned doing a compilation of trailers in order to have one movie that is only made up of entertaining moments. One more remake and I think I'll scream.
