Movies and TV Tonight I witnessed an unparalleled example of American arrogance - Page 6

Hammock Parties · 07-18-2008, 02:31 AM

I got to the theater over two hours in advance to sit in line for The Dark Knight. Now, I was expecting a crowd, but I did not expect a ****ing ARMY of people to descend upon the theater a full TWO AND A HALF HOURS before the movie.

I am ecstatic I did not get a ticket to the 12:01 AM showing, because that line was FULL when I got there, wrapping around the outside of the building. The line for 12:05 extended out into the front of the theater, so I had better luck there.

Standing in line for an hour and a half in the muggy heat wasn't great. But what was worse was what I saw when I entered the theater.

Now, I knew I would get a decent seat, and I grabbed the first opportunity to sit down - an aisle seat about 3/4 of the way up in the middle. Pretty good. But then I saw a FULL EMPTY ROW RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE THEATER.

What flanked that row?

Two ****ing high school whores and a mexican in the middle.

That's right. Three ****ing kids decided they were going to save AN ENTIRE ROW IN PRIMO CHOICE GRADE-A POSITION right in the middle of the theater. This was a HUGE screening room, so we're talking like 15-20 seats.

Now, I am generally a passive man, so I did not confront their heinous example of complete American arrogance. But fortunately, the two dudes that were behind me in line just elbowed their way into the middle row and sat down where they pleased. Seizing the day, I followed suit and grabbed myself a perfect seat for The Dark Knight.

Thanks for saving my seat, assholes!

Sigh.

I'm the Chiefsplanet Dark Knight.

People are flaming me. What would you have me do?

Endure. You can be the outcast. You can make the choice that no one else will face - the right choice. Chiefsplanet needs you.

When I got to my screen 45 minutes before the showing was to start, there was only room in the front row. Then, near the end of the previews, my friend and I turned around and saw that two seats had somehow opened up in prime viewing position. We asked the people sitting next to those seats if they were saving them, they said no, and we sat down.

It was truly a miracle.
