Moviegoing: Code Of Conduct

    British film critics Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo recently unveiled what they have termed the "Code Of Conduct" for attending the movie theater, 10 absolute no-no's to which all cinema patrons should adhere.


    My blogging colleagues at Cinema Scream then determined everyone within our community should link up today to promote our own ideas for the 11th Rule of Moviegoing "Code Of Conduct" and since I have hard-and-fast rules about how movies should be watched, well, I leapt with glee at this wondrous idea.

    Now I know Rule #6 is "No Talking" ("You're in a cinema - you have come here to watch, not to discuss") but still.....let's say you're watching a movie where the Secretary of the State and a Lobbyist have teamed up to thwart some sort of dastardly plot and for, oh, 45 minutes these two are traipsing around the District of Columbia like best pals, like Riggs and Murtaugh, and then suddenly at the 45 minute mark when the Lobbyist's back is turned the Secretary of State pulls a gun and shoots down the Lobbyist in cold blood and then the person in the theater sitting next to you turns and says, whispers, even, so that no one but you can hear, "Why did the Secretary of State shoot the Lobbyist?" and then your blood boils and steam shoots out your ears and your teeth grind and your fists clench and all you want to do is scream....

    "JUST WATCH THE REST OF THE MOVIE AND YOU'LL FIND OUT!!!!!"
