The Omen

Okay. I went and saw The Omen tonight. And might I add...still alive to tell the tale. haha. Well, my first thought as soon as I arrive is that I have made a grave mistake coming to see the show on it's opening day. The theatre is packed, with what looks to be mostly teen age kids. Whatever, moving forward. I am all by myself and can choose any seat in the house. I choose the seats directly behind the bars/railing toward the front. This way I can put my feet up if need be. I have my popcorn, I am one of the first seated and all is good. I notice my comfy island of a seat selection begin to crowd. A gentleman comes to me and asks if I will be using the remaing seats next to me. Sadly and hesitatntly, as if I knew I should have just lied I respond No. He dedcides he is going to save these seats for whothefuckever. Well, these people show up with kids. Multiple kids, ranging between the ages of 5 and 8 if I had to guess. WTF?? As if that was not annoyance enough (not to mention shitty parenting) these people are loud. Just the way they chomped their popcorn was pushing me to postal. Hear me out, they had what sounded like a MEGA bag of Rees's Pieces. They were passing it between each other and "literally" pouring it into their mouths. Obviously they lacked a bit in theatre manners, how else would I have smelled the peanut butter. The children talked loudly asking many questions(as children do). Not the end....not by far.

So, we have established that I now have loud annoying strangers on either side of me. We are nearing the end of the movie and I am really engrossed. I hear a noise of what sounds like somebody dropping a big gulp onto the floor. This gets the attention of most people in the theatre. I turn around, o.k., whatever..back to the show. Then you hear some guy ask for help. Turn around again, this time I see a girl, who from where I was sitting looked to me to be passed out. The guy sitting next to her, who asked for help tilts her hed back on her seat. She appears for a moment to be coherant. The guy asks her if she is okay again as her head falls back against her seat. He says aloud, "no, she's not o.k." Next thing an usher and a bunch of guys carry her out in to the lobby where I can only assume an ambulance came to take her away.
The world may never know.

How the movie you ask; good. I guess I can't say great because despite the movie I had a terrible movie-going experience. It was predictable in a slow and 'when's it gonna come' type way. Not much shock, too much gore for this type of film. The gore just seemed over and above. I will see it again and this time perhapps I will get a better feel for the movie.
