the peanut gallery

i'd like to thank the couple behind me at the movies on saturday for their commentary.
i especially liked how they spoke louder when the movie volume increased to the point that they were almost yelling.
that they didn't even try to whisper and that they expanded their conversations to things outside the realm of the theater.
i too was curious what had happened on CSI last thursday. especially given that it was a rerun - and that it's been reruns since december.
i also wondered multiple times during the movie why a character was doing what they were doing.
and recognized someone in the movie from another role but couldn't quite place him.
at least 5 times.
you may still be wondering why i was constantly turning around and glaring at you.
and why the rest of the people in my row were doing the same.
it wasn't because we thought we knew you from the subway.
or that we thought your shirt was really cute.
we really just wanted you to shut up.

i hope this note finds you well
and perhaps still pondering the movie's outcome.
because here's the thing...
if you're going to talk so loud that the better half of the theater can hear you, at least pretend to know what's going on.
or make people think that you didn't walk into the wrong movie.
