Friday night and im off down the cinema, i decide to check into the film 1408, which you may know is a Steven King adaptation. The film is rated 15 but by the lack of intelligence my fellow cinema goers demonstrated last night it could have well been rated U and they still would have had trouble following it (or i think its G if your from america)
A group of Say 10 borderline looking youths entered the screen (oh great i thought expecting to receive a barrage of popcorn to the head, along with everyone else in there)
A short while into the film it became obvious to which the direction of the rest of my film time would pan out by a girl saying rather loudly "This film is wierd". You dont say i thought, have you never heard of steven king?? Looking back, at this point I should have left but i gave them a benefit of the doubt and on top i had received no popcorn to the head either
When the plot deepened however (read the spoilers below if you want to know exactly what happened) they seemed to loose track of the plot completely, they were talking and were so confused i doubted a few of them would be able to find there way home after the film. You know feeling you get, the "im going to have to say something but i soo hope someone else does" feeling was raging away, but thankfully this was not my turn to be that person someone else gave the pissed off "shhh" sound so they shut up
So this doesnt happen again i think the cinema should make people take an iq test before they see a film to make sure they are going to understand it, and thus if they dont, they wouldnt be spoilng other movie goers experiences.
SPOILER! - Below contains a couple of spoilers to do with the plot of the film 1408, i have included so that you to can share in the idiocy i had to put up with while watching the film. So if you dont want to know then i suggest you stop reading now....
The door. a door appears in the middle of the room and one fool yells out why doesnt he just open it, when the scene is all about the moral dilema of what is on the other side of this door. While another says how stupid is that?? a door just appeared, about 10 minutes previously it had snowed inside room 1408 and the wall had burst and was leaking a dark colour liquid. and now they are confused about the apparation of a door.
