Theaters here have begun selling Taco Bell products, so now added to the sensual mix of popcorn, coke, body odor, and pee evidently, is the stench of Taco Bell, not to mention the accompanying sound of wrappers rustling and fat folks breathing laboriously through their nostrils while their piehole is gorged with half a bean burrito. Cell phones ringing and worse, idiots carrying on conversation is the height of egocentric behavior, like we all are on the edge of our seats over their mundane "he said she said" instead of the plot of the movie. Last but not least of insults are the offensive commercials we are now subjected to prior to the all too revealing trailers of upcoming attractions. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention bozo parents who bring whining tots (not their fault mind you) to see horror films, or even worse, films with frontal nudity and sex etc. Other than those minor nuisances, Movie theaters are just fab. Most times I'll wait for the DVD. We attend maybe two movie showings per year. You can have it.
