No, we can't. We can skip watching this movie together, though.
3. "Movies Aren't Important - Not Like Books Or Music..."
You're kidding, right? Movies aren't all about car chases and explosions - they're not just some throwaway entertainment. Like Werner Herzog said: "Films might be the inner chronicle of what we are, and we have to articulate ourselves. Otherwise we would be cows in the field." So there.
2. "I Can't Watch Subtitled Movies..."
What do you mean you "can't watch subtitled movies?" You've been banned by a court of law? You're allergic to them? So you're never, ever going to watch a movie unless it's been made in the English language, then? What if it's the best movie ever made? What's the aversion here, anyway? You can't simultaneously read the words on screen and watch the movie at the same time? Are you stupid? Seriously, Mom, it's totally over between us.
1. Absolutely Anything In The Movie Theatre
Once we enter the sacred realms of the movie theatre and the lights go down, you should not talk to me. Don't ask me to tell you what a character said if you happened to miss it. Don't ask me to provide you with the name of an actor you recognise but cannot place. Definitely don't tell me that you're confused or that you're bored (looking at your watch over and over again is also a no-go). You've got a piece of popcorn lodged in your throat and you're about to die? Seriously, can it wait until the movie's over? Like this article? Got any to add? Let us know in the comments section below.
