Pirates of the apocalypse, OR why people are stupid
First off, thank you to anyone caring to look at the past few days I've had at work with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. I will disclaim first this is my opinion as a movie theater employee and NOT A NINJA'S PERSPECTIVE. I am also an american, so it's all good that I can mock the majority of the customers I deal with which have a very...very... challenged common sense.
Right well if you saw the little dramatic telling of the whole encounter with pirates and how SUICIDAL the lines have been trying to see this movie that in my opinion did not need to exist save for a bonus buck on the bandwagon. fangirls came back today (sunday) to see it AGAIN. however and thankfully, I was not on ticket drop (tear the tickets and listen to the customers complain about everything ranging from their personal problems at home to the concession stand not putting two cups of salt because it was a health hazard READ: not a joke), I was usher today.
Forgive the poor quality of the picture but THIS is how stupid us americans can be. apparently someone forgot to put a trash can under this bin after pirates. keep in mind, I took this picture after I was HALF DONE. Instead of actually taking the care to realize there was no trash can under the bin (and there's no excuse one of the doors was open) the customers decided "oh, it's a magical hole, it'll take it into some kind of fancy tube system to the trash fairy where all of our garbage ceases to exist, hey did florida's elevation get two inches higher? WOW that seems to happen every time I throw something away!"
that's not the reason why I am pissed about it, oh no. today there was ANOTHER problem with the interlock and 200 people had to be rescheduled to see pirates AGAIN in a movie that was not supposed to be cleaned that night. the problem was that I had to take care of the trash. thanks to several customers who, of their own fantastic free will, decided not to even touch the five dollar drinks they bought and instead emptied their sodas (LARGE sodas) into the bin, I had to take care of it.
However, before I could get this jiggling sac of shit into the compactor, it exploded. that's right it exploded, and the mixture of soda and juice and taco cheese, grease, or SEMEN for all I know, spilled and drenched me from the neck down. I've bathed, but do you see the insanity that is caused by a movie that exists to trick stupid people into paying to see another episode of a movie that should have stayed as a classic from the start.
Bottom line:
please, if you're going to midlessly waste eight dollars to see a three hour barrage of explosions, pretty effects and mounds upon mounds of legend bullshit (half of the 'old legends' that were added was a total sack of crap, but hey, it's a movie, I don't mind). yes, pirates had its moments. yes, it was entertaining as far as special effects go. yes, if you saw dead man's chest, it's automatically required you see this movie because half of the jokes allude to the first two movies. I'm not saying the movie was terrible. I'm saying ANY third installment that wasn't intended to be a trilogy from the start SHOULD NOT FUCKING EXIST.
for those who don't like to read like most Americans:
garbage spooge poured on me, customers were stupid, I'm not happy, I blame needless trilogies and stupid people. if you think it's a bad reason, read the above.
thank you for those who took the time to enjoy my rant. now I must bathe and burn my clothes. (and I apologize for not having anything significant up for weeks... I've been very busy.

heh, i worked in a dvd store for 2 years. we got questions all the time like "do you sell movies?". Ya, no crap. And yes, the american taste in movies has dropped to almost zero. Fortunatly we get films like "Pan's Labyrinth" and "little miss sunshine" and "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" every once in a while. But the appitamy of stupid at a movie theatre is a tie.. "You mean Charlie and the Chocolate factory is a remake??" and walking out of the first Lord of the rings hearing "I cant BELIEVE how they ended it! Now they're probably going to make a SEQUAL!"..
so ya, stupid people. I feel for ya dude.

It's funny, the more I watch Clerks, the more I realize how stupid people are becoming. but I still think the dumbest group of people are the ones trying to find the bathroom..
me: can I help you ma'am?
lady: (with a scowl) bathroom!
me: do you have a ticket?
lady: BATHroom!
me: I'm not allowed to let you in without a ticket (the bathrooms are next to the theaters)
lady: bathroom!
me: *sigh* what movie are you coming to see?
lady: PIrates!
me: well then you'll have to use the bathroom on the other side miss. (to keep her from getting a reserved seat in front of the line.)
lady: .........................bathroom!

how I really feel? I do not bottle this stuff up, if anything I have a lighthearted viewpoint compared to my supervisor. a 54 year old virgin who drools involuntarily and eats ketchup packets. To be honest, I respect him more than I do the customers because A. he's not an idiot B. he's had to tolerate stupid people for over six years at my job and C. he's entertaining to make fun of because he takes it so well. unlike some people who seem to explode because someone was before them in a line where it doesn't matter WHERE you decide to sit.
Cinemas are a bad place for maintaining one's sanity in general (never had garbage explode on me but I did have to suffer a coffee machine going Rambo and drenching me with scalding hot java).
Personally I don't know if sequals are as bad as the half baked adaptations of popular franchises that seem to be cropping up though ('Transformers' looks rubbish and 'Simpsons: The Movie' I have no hope for).

The thing is that with transformers, it's actually gotten my interest. I'm curious of how they'll carry it out, but my major problem is the new Megatron looks like a metal deathtrap vagina. as for the Simpsons movie... it's rumored that the movie is supposed to represent the end of the series, after 400+ episodes I wouldn't blame them. however, I'm going to hate serving those two movies, contrary to popular belief, the simpsons is going to have MORE customers on the first day than star wars episode 3 (which the line coiled around the entire building.)
oh god, I can only sympathize with theme parks. I was at one for a week for the new york film academy (in disney mgm) and saw horrible things over time. like a ten year old kid crying his head off because he wanted an ice cream. even worse. I ran into some fat lady there while I was walking (I hate crowds) instead of accepting my apology and allowing me to step past, she flailed her arms about yelling. "rape! rape! rape! rape!" stupid people gather in strange places.
lol there is supposed to be a forth one so you better bring an extra change of clothes for that one.
but yea trust me i have it worse at my job. you think that taking out a trash bin in a movie theater is bad with no lining, try taking out the trash in a restaurant bathroom with no lining. soda washes off much easier then throw up and poop :/

...if they've already started thinking about a fourth one, I'm instantly starting a petition. three is enough, and it's a deadly mistake to go further. once you make a fourth movie for ANYTHING it starts to suck regardless of how much people like it(police academy, land before time, scary movie, harry potter for all the book readers)
You know, seeing all of that crap happen in the third, I think gore verbinski was trying to tie all the loose ends in order to satisfy everyone, because the director REALLY wanted a fourth movie. but like a wise ninja once said. That movie could have used a lot more gore and a lot less verbinski...
