Dry Nose In The Moring

little story about institutions - pathovar IN THEATERS Box Office?


Any movie lovers enjoy the whole ritual: watching the daily schedule, approach the film, remove the entry, sitting in the chair and enjoy a unique experiecia: watch a movie surrounded by strangers. But things do not always go as planned.

When you watch a movie at home one controls almost all variables. That does not happen when you go to the movies and the result of the experience depends on a large number of people involved.

So many things can happen that one could never find in the living room of his house.

Obviously, many of these things are not common. The chances of encountering these events increases exponentially if you go to the movies more than 100 times a year, as is my case.

In a small series of 3 posts, I will review different types of stories. Started by problems in the cinema box office:

When you're young, can not believe the power they have those guys. Nothing more, nothing less than the power to decide whether or not you can watch a movie only suitable for adults of a certain age. I remember the day he was released Terminator 2 (PG-16, with reservations!), Criticism of Nation had made a mistake, put it was PG-13. I knew it was for 16, but went to the movies with cutting criticism, hoping to enter. When the ticket sellers said it was for 16, took the ace of its sleeve and put the criticism with the Southern for entries. The guy said: ¨ And what do I care what you say The Nation? · that day I learned not to rely so much on the newspapers.

That was the only time I rebounded. My size and other strategies I solved that problem a couple of years later. To see Pulp Fiction (only suitable for 18 years) to my 15 years, I invited the two top kids in the class, so that we seem larger. It worked and I felt Gardel.

When there were no complex with many rooms, some movies require a minimum number of viewers for a film. I remember one summer night. It was a Tuesday or something. We were two to see That Thing You Do! And ticket sellers told us they needed at least 6 people. Soon came a couple. Sumábamos and 4. Just when they should start the movie, I get another pair, the sister of a friend of mine with her boyfriend. With my head high, enter 6 to see this great movie directed by Tom Hanks.

ticket sellers sometimes undermine the movies that show: as a kid, one day I said the movie was suitable, but it was not for kids and that I was bored. How wrong they were. I had a great looking Fried Green Tomatoes at age 12.

Almost two decades later (few weeks), I spent something like: to get the ticket to see The Illusionist , the ticket sellers told me that I fixed it, because film was animated and had almost no dialogue. I pretended to be surprised and told him I was going to play.

That's the thing, sometimes not enough desire to see a movie. Every so often, we have some faced boy who knows all that is going to try to get us to turn back, or put ourselves to see the Fockers ...
