Silence is Golden

I’m a real fan of the movies. I see several every year. In 2007, I went to over 70. I love a great performance by an actor or actress or a great storyline, but to be able to truly be transported into Juno’s world, or to get wrapped-up in The Bank Job’s story of a heist gone wrong, patrons need to observe the message presented at the beginning of each film: Silence is Golden.


Let’s face it, if you feel the need to speak to the person beside you, talk to someone on your cell phone, or even make comments to yourself (yes…I have had this happen on several occasions)…you need to wait for the DVD release and watch the film at home.

Extra movie noise is not limited to people talking. Have you ever sat close to the person who has packed a “to go snack?” For some reason the person has decided that they must have a bag of chips, a few sodas, and some candy during the show. I’m all for having some treats, but unwrap and eat them quietly!

If you are one of the guilty ones, please remember we all paid around $10 to see the movie…let us watch it quietly!
