Debbie Schlussel: I'm a Movie-Nazi & That's Why I'm Posting this Language-Beware Vid by a Watchmaniac
As longtime readers know, I'm a movie-Nazi. If you talk, if you text, if you answer your cell phone, if you have a light flashing on a bluetooth on your ear, if you think you're John Madden and you have to explain to the person sitting next to you every tiny obvious detail of what's going on on-screen (and FYI, we know what's going on on-screen--we can see; this isn't Einstein stuff), or if you are a father explaining to his 8-year-old what is happening in the sex scene in "300," I'm gonna get angry. I'm gonna shush you, and then I'm gonna tell you to shut up, and soon, it's gonna get very ugly. Shut. The. Heck. UP!!!!!!! This ain't your livin' room. People paid ten bucks . . . NOT TO HEAR YOUUUUU.
I don't need to go into it more, because I've already written at length about how much this galls me--and I've given you my Debbie's Rules of Movie Etiquette. I go to a lot of private screenings, but at the public ones, or when I go to a theater on my own after missing a screening, this angers me to no end. Shut Up! So, it's in this spirit that--even though this video is extremely filled with F-bombs and has an uncomfortable few set of comments in it about this guy's homoerotic vision--I'm posting this video from a raving atheist uber-geek "Watchmen" fan. It's kinda funny. And I mostly agree, except with the filth or about what we'd do in "reasonable" times. [EXTREME LANGUAGE ALERT/NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK OR PRUDES]
