Doing my part

This is just a brief post and not really related to making movies at all. In fact this post is all about watching movies.

Like most people who are interested in making movies I love watching them. Up until a few years ago I saw many, many movies each year in the theater. Then something happened. What happened I couldn’t say for sure, there was not one event that changed everything. I only know that one day going to the theater was no longer an option for me, it had become unbearable. For some time I believed it was because I had moved to Washington, DC, that the theaters I was going to were terrible and that the people here lack all of the social graces.

In some ways I think some of those points are true but as an article published in Empire Magazine makes quite clear these things are certainly not location specific.

In some of my more bitter moments I have thought of making a list of rules to try and share with the world, in order to help others to improve the movie-going experience. It looks as though some kind soul has done that part for me so now I shall do mine.

This is my attempt to help be part of the solution, read the list (I am in almost total agreement with it) and change your wicked ways!
