Here's a look at what you can and cannot do during a movie:
 |
| Movie Rule #42 - Always dress in 1960's clothes when attending a 3-D film. |
Here's a look at what you can and cannot do during a movie:
- Talking is frowned upon.
- Frowning is frowned upon, as your physical displeasure may spread to other patrons.
- Texting is tolerated, as long as your phone's virtual keyboard noises are disabled.
- Making the keyboard noises with your mouth is not necessary.
- Enjoying popcorn is encouraged.
- Dipping Reese's Pieces into your soda is discouraged, on grounds of radical deliciousness.
- Deducing the film's twist ending before the director intended is considered rude.
- Aiming a laser pointer at the screen is considered hilarious.
- Being too good at preshow trivia will arouse the suspicion of the theater's security force.
- Not being good enough at preshow trivia will do the same.
- Allowing the emotions aroused by the film to later be replicated by real-world experiences is impossible.
