Yeah, this is another true life thing that happened to me. I have to share it, its to crazy not to share. It furthers the whole idea that I think my life isn't reality, and I'm really just some character in someones story. There is no other explanation for the events that transpired last night.
I was at the press screening for IT. I had been waiting for this one all summer and I was fairly excited to see it. I've seen the movie from the 90s, I've read the book and I have my own fan theories that revolve around Pennywise, the crimson king, randal flagg and the devil..so yeah, I wasn't someone just there to be scared by an evil clown. I'm invested in this series. I'm not there to just talk pointlessly through the whole film..I'm a super fan.
When I go to press screenings I always try to get the names of the other bloggers and film reviewers because one of the best ways to spread your blog is to cross promote with other blogs. If you are a full time blogger that makes money you know this..if you are still trying to figure it all out you might not. Perhaps this person in question doesn't know this..in fact as I later found out he works at a movie theater, I'll go ahead and guess he doesn't. At the last minuet right as the previews start to roll a gentleman sits next to me (he wasn't there earlier) and I ask him, who he wrote for. He tells me and some.. disgusting blob of a man leans over and tells me "SHHH! Be quite"..during the previews..for blade runner 2029..a film any film reviewer worth his salt has already seen the trailer for anyway.
I lean over and we...have words. that is the nice way for me to put it. I then lean over to my crew to talk about it (both the film and what just happened)..and he again gets..confrontational..I put my hand up in a stop motion and tell him to mind his own business and that's when he hit me. Yep the neck beard actually smacked my hand..with a little bit of force I might add. If you are curious as to what the man looked like, imagine this guy with more hair...
I sat there, attempting to control my breathing before I ended him. I couldn't..my breathes came at an ever increasing rate and I could feel my blood pressure rising. I tried to just sit there..I really did..but once we were at the ten minute mark of the film..I couldnt control myself any longer.. I could hardly breath. Counting was not helping. That man needed to be taught a lessen..I got up and purposely fell on him..pushing his shoulder and giving him a slight gut puch as it happened. Easy enough for me to claim it was an accident..but unmistakable to him what was happening. I stormed out of the theater, waiting for him....right at the edge of the door way, watching the film and giving him and ample five minutes to be a man and get up and meet me outside. He didn't... I considered buying a beverage to dump on him as I returned..but i didnt want to waste the cash.
What is wrong with society? Why would a grown ass man think its acceptable to first of all talk like that to a women he doesnt know (during the previews, REALLY?)..and then to actually put his hands on her. What a weak silly little man. Aweful big and manly of you to hit a girl, huh? I could see if perhaps I was loudly talking all through the movie..but a single question to one person..get over yourself. If a perfectly quiet atmosphere is what you need, the public isnt the place to get it. Grow up. Not only that but throughout the entire film I heard people talking(not me though)..becasue thats what movies are for, to enjoyably share the experience with a crowd and talk about it. That is the whole point. Perhaps loudly talking so that you can't hear what is being said or talking during the whole film isnt acceptable, but enjoying the film..well it is. It's fairly easy to know what is ok and what isnt..if you can't tolerate any level of disturbance..perhaps you are the one disturbed.
I admit I have a terrible temper. Unlike most females, i strike back. Let this be a warning to said overly aggressive men everywhere..don't think just becasue you are talking to a women that you won't get your ass kicked. You might be bigger than me but trust me I will always get my revenge. Keep your hands to yourself and we will both have a safer, less eventful night.
Here is my review of It btw..(you may have to copy and paste the link.
