Shh, It's On!

There are acceptable times and things to say during the watching of a movie. If you're making fun of it (i.e. MST3K) anything goes. When sitting down to watch a movie for the movie's sake, many people do not understand that for the most part you should keep your mouth shut. The following is a list of the top five questions I hate to hear while watching a movie.

1) Who is that? (character)
Try watching the movie. Films are made for enjoyment, they are not test of your recognition skills. There are times when the plot is a mystery, but as to what character is on screen the film-makers tend to make it obvious. Pay attention and you'll know who you are watching. This question is usually followed up with, "Oh, nevermind." Not only did they answer their own question, the opened their mouth long enough to stop you from hearing a character's question as well as another character's answer to it. I hope you can rewind it.

2) Who is that? (actor)
Does it matter? It doesn't have anything to do with the particular movie. This is the perfect question to ask AFTER the movie.

3) What did I miss?
Oh this old jem. If you can't control your bowels then you don't get to know what goes on in a movie. Go before or deal with trying to figure it out while watching the rest of it. This question is absolutely inexcusable when asked while watching a DVD. If you don't say, "Hey pause it I gotta go" then you don't deserve to know what happened.

4) Did you see that?
See what? No, I was to busy watching the movie to see what was happening IN THE MOVIE! In the other questions there is a poor thought process. In this question there is no thought process.

5) He's gonna kill him right? (And other predictions)
I honestly do not understand this one. Let's say you had never seen Star Wars: A New Hope. As a side note there are actually people out there who haven't. Having not seen it, you would be pissed if we started watching it and when they first introduced Obi Wan I said, "Darth Vader is going to kill that guy." You would be like, "Hey I don't want you to spoil it for me!" Why then, during their duel would someone ask if he was going to get killed? This goes for other questions like "Is he gonna make it?" "That's not really him, right?" "Did that work?" The whole point of a movie is to experience it and find out for yourself. Otherwise it would be just someone telling you a story.
