My (ex) boyfriend the SC

This is from a few years back, but thought it should be shared.

My (then) boyfriend and I went to go see a movie. It was the first time he and I had done so. We got our refreshments and then sat down. Before the movie started he turned to me and said, "You're not one of those movie theater talkers are you? I hate when people talk all through the movie." I stated that I wasn't just as the previews came up.

During the previews I admit we did whisper, "That movie looks good." and things of the stort.

However during the movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back my (then) boyfriend decided it was time for his personal knowledge of all things Clerks . Every scene he made some diatribe and every time I told him to be quiet, he'd say something along the lines of, "I'm not that loud." Or "I'm not talking that much."

People were turning around and giving us the Stink eye... even though I hadn't uttered a word.

Finally, I moved over a seat thinking that would shush him. Nope, he only talked louder.

It was so bad that the couple in front of us went and got an usher who had us quiet down. I was so embarassed, and that only made my ex go into a diatribe about how he wasn't talking and when he was he wasn't loud....

He finally took the hint when I physically placed my hand over his mouth... but it was because he was pouting and trying to give me the "silent treatment."

If only I had done that sooner!

I don't go to the cinema anymore because every time I've gone, I'm pretty sure your ex has been in the audience, right behind me.

I'd have done more than cover his mouth with my hand. Haha!

It's like that episode special of Mystery Science Theater where Bobo was in the audience with them and he wouldn't shut up and Crow goes "I hate people who talk in the theater!"

Anyway, man, I hate that. Sounds like that guy was a jerk.

BF and I only talk during the previews. About the previews. The rest is mostly "OOOOooooo! awwwwwwe." and once "EEK!" because a scene in the movie scared me.

I think I've told this story before here, but I almost started a small epic brawl in the middle of 30 Days of Night because the whole top row wouldn't STFU. Trust me, I got an usher first and then a cop, believe me I tried.

I'll re-tell for anyone who didn't see/newbies if you'd like.

Oh, I'd LOVE to hear the story!

I would love to hear the story. I was quite disappointed with 30 Days of Night, but I can totally see where that movie would have drawn in a crowd of rowdies who wouldn't stfu.

Eons ago,back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the ex and I went to see the first Halloween. (told ya it was years ago)

There were 2 preteen girls right behind us. One had already seen the movie. One hadn't. So the Halloween non virgin thought it was her duty to tell the virgin everything that was about to happen. My ex the cop had enough of that in about 5 minutes. He turns around and says in a voice loud enough to heard all over the theater "Girls, I paid good money to see this movie. I would like to know what happens AS IT HAPPENS! Not 5 seconds before. Kindly shut the hell up!" There was assorted sheering and clapping, as well as a gasp from the girls behind us.

But Miss know it all shut up.

Sorry texasbelle, but dinosaurs roamed the earth when my great aunts and uncles went to see Marilyn Monroe movies. We were up to cavemen by the time Halloween came out
