OMG! I'm sure that was horrific to sit through, but it was one of the funniest entries EVER. I've never had a movie (or any other theater) experience that comes close.

For the record, one of Merujo's co-workers (not an HP attendee that night) did hear the story and it was good from the re-telling, and equally good (& nasty) in prose.

Just when you think humanity can't surprise/stoop lower...well, then...ick. Thanks, I think...

Merujo: If I didn't know you, I'd have to say you made that one up. It's just way beyond surreal. It's surreally surreal. And all I can say is: ick. (And I like lesbians. Some of my best friends are lesbians.... But not in the movie theater, thank you very much!) ;-)

Hey, with your two free tickets to any Loew's theater, you can fly anywhere to go see a movie!

What a deal!

Great story!

Wow, that is just crazy! Nothing like that has ever happened to me at the movies. But your story kind of makes me never want to eat popcorn in a movie theater again. It also makes me want to bring seat covers the next time.

OH MY GOD.

That is just too nasty.

I don't think I recall having this kind of problem the few times I went to the Uptown. I saw the first "LOTR" there as well as Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes".

I think I'll forward this on to Ed H. He might find this interesting...

I swear, you cross paths with the wierdest folks ever in theatres, Walmarts, and parking lots. How do you do it?? Is it just a DC thing?

Merujo: Indeed. It's weird that I find a guy with teeth that disgusting sexy. But it's Ralph Fiennes!

Merujo - I'm glad I heard that one after our HP evening (since the movie was AMAZING and could have possibly been made less amazing if I was wondering what foul creatures and or fluids might be lurking in my movie theater seat rather than basking in the awesomeness that is Harry Potter! Phew!) We shared the theater with lots of GU students. Thankfully, they all *seemed* much more interested in Harry and his adventures than anything inappropriate, or I didn't notice ;)

I'm looking forward to "nose-less Ralph Fiennes!"

I really think these ladies I encountered simply had no class. They weren't looking for any privacy - it was very much in-your-face exhibitionist behavior. I'm not sure what was more annoying - the cell phone call or the "woman as hand puppet" routine.

Jury's still out on that one...

2007-07-11T23:42:00.000-04:00

Wow...I guess in a big city, a movie theater is more a place to keep warm/cool and have relative privacy than it is a place to enjoy a movie?

People around here would not put up with that, I tell you what. There are some very particular moviegoers in this area. One guy I know refuses to go to movies with his friends because he doesn't want them talking to him while he's trying to watch.

Anyway, I really enjoyed OotP, and I hope you do too!

"rpocfojk" is the word verification right now. I'm pronouncing it "err-POCK-foyk" in my head. Kind of sounds like a fantasy character...maybe a minstrel or court jester or something.
