Title: 02-NOV-21 Movie Theaters
Post by: DiveMilw on Nov 02, 2021, 02:23 PM
I've seen three movies in the theater in the past few weeks.  (I think it's been one a week for the last three weeks)  The first tow times were heavenly because I was either all alone or there were only a couple of other people.  Today I went to see Venom 2 and there were at least SIX other people in the theater.  Two of them really bothered me.  They were sitting in my row.  They were young (they acted like they were no more than 16) and talked a lot and keep looking at their phones (with the flashlight on for some reason).  I was hopeful when, about 20 minutes into the movie, they got up and left.  My hope was crushed when they returned with a popcorn refill. 

The movie was OK.  I thought it lacked the charm and wit of the first Venom.  It wasn't bad (even with the annoying couple in my row) but didn't get above the "good" level.  They hinted at a third movie.  Perhaps that one will be better.
