Comment of the Week: A rant for the ages

Comment of the Week: A rant for the ages

A guest post on why online film delivery isn’t clicking with filmmakers generated a feisty – and on target – comment from a new Watcher.

Larry offered up this pithy retort to those who think the only way to see a movie is in a theater. Let ‘er rip, Larry:

Note to filmmakers:

I want to watch films the way I want to watch them. I don’t want you or the theater controlling the sound, where I sit, when I can go to the can, what I can eat or drink, whether or not I am dressed or undressed.

I don’t want my shoes sticking to the floor in something I can only hope is no worse than a spilled soft drink. I don’t want to sit in a seat that might have previously held some Hollywood ‘fame whore’ without underwear who might be carrying the gift that keeps on giving. I don’t want to hear cellphones ringing and the subsequent conversation. I don’t want to hear babies crying or toddlers fussing. I don’t want to miss some of the movie because my bladder insists on attention.

Now, IF the credits include PIXAR I might drag myself to the theater.
