A Memo to all Moviegoers:

All I have to say is: Please, please, please do not make idiotic or pointless comments at every turning point in a film. Just because you are whispering, or at least trying to, does not make your disturbance okay. The worst of this occurs when you sit directly in front this kind of person. For example, when I saw There Will Be Blood, the couple behind me repeated everything that had just been established in the film. I agree, the movie was a little confusing, especially with Paul and Eli Sunday, but they did not mention that. At the beginning, when Daniel-Day Lewis is planting dynamite in the mine, they say with shock, "He's gonna light the dynamite!" Now, c'mon! When you see an actor has a stick of dynamite in one hand and a lit match in the other, isn't it logically to assume he will light the dynamite?

I understand, people make mistakes, but some comments made are just aggravating. When I saw recount before the movie. A family of four behind me are joking about the son and saying they will cook him to stop his annoyances. (I felt like telling them I'm thinking of the doing the same). What furthered this annoyance was what happened after. Another couple behind the family tells them that their idea reminds them of "that new Johnny Depp movie, Sweeney Todd." The patriarch of the family says, "Oh yes. That was a wonderful movie. Who was the actor in it?... Oh yeah, that was the movie Johnny Depp was in right?"

PLEASE! THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, because I know you don't want to appear stupid.
