If you are one of the twelve people on the planet who haven’t seen Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince do not read further.  I am going to discuss the movie and you may want to hurt me.

Boppy and I finally got the chance to go see the newest installment of the Harry Potter movies tonight.  We have always been movie buffs.  When we bought our home, Boppy installed a movie room that had surround sound.  He was always high tech with the equipment we purchased to view movies.  Movie watching was a key part of our relationship.  We used to go to the movies often, and we loved it.  We raised our children to be respectful movie watchers.  We taught them don’t talk during the movie.  Be considerate of others, turn your cell phone off.  For our children it worked.  However; I only raised 3 people…all of the others had parents who didn’t give a rat’s ass and just come to the movies to socialize (loudly), make out (also loudly), or text.  I get so irritated that I have trouble keeping my mouth shut, so Boppy doesn’t take me out very often.

Tonight was no different.  I have learned not to expect anything while watching the trailers, although I enjoy the trailers and wish they would shut up.  It seems most people just think the trailers are commercials about upcoming movie.  I was surprised the young folks in the lower rows calmed down when the movie started.  I thought they were going to be the problem.  I was wrong.  It was the couple in front of me and the couple to the left of me who were the trouble makers.  The couple in front of us had apparently mistaken the movie theatre for a hotel.  They spent all night making out.  They were very loud and kinda slurpy.  It was gross.  The couple to the left of me were up and down all night long, because apparently some drama was happening.  I’m guessing this because she couldn’t stay off her cell phone.  She was texting and receiving texts during the whole movie.  I think that she (and other people) thought texting was okay because her phone wasn’t technically ringing.  Guess what?  I saw every single message because the blue back light from her phone annoyed the living crap out of me!

I have heard that there are wonderful theatres that block signals from cell phone towers.  Ahhh…that would be the life.  We could probably start going to movies again.  I can’t imagine only having to deal with the smoochers and the talkers.  It’s bound to be better.  I wonder if there is anything that will block vocal chords and lips.  Now that would be a great theatre! 

Now as for that spoiler alert…Dumbledore dies.  I didn’t want anyone to be disappointed!
