People Not To Watch Movies With
It’s been one of those days, work was stressful and nothing seemed to be working right and all you need is a great movie to wind down your terrible day. Fortunately for you; you just got your hands on a movie you have been dying to watch for quite sometime, well it’s not that new but to you it is because you have not yet watched it right? You toy with the idea of either watching it alone or inviting a friend over, which regarding to the number of digits signed up in your phonebook wouldn’t be a problem; you have a very big collection of friends to pick from BUT (and that’s a very big but) they are a few you just can’t make the mistake of inviting, people like;
Paul-The Suspense Killer
Paul is the dude who watches all the movies before the rest of the gang does, he knows which movie is nice and which is not; in short he’s the perfect which-movie-should-I-watch consultant, the problem with Paul is this…..since he’s watched all movies before you; he knows what it’s all about; first he will tell you how the movie ends before it starts. If you have watched “Vantage Point” then you know what I mean. And secondly he will keep narrating what the next scene is before it appears without considering the fact that it’s totally killing the whole suspense theory for you.
Diana- The Slow Head
Diana by all means is great company and unlike Paul, she has not yet watched the movie you’re proposing to watch with her so you’re safe with your suspense, which is until you get to that funny bit in the movie, the bit that makes you laugh to point of tearing only to realize you’re laughing alone. Apparently Diana didn’t get the joke and she is waiting for you to explain it to her. For Diana, you’ll have to explain every little joke in the movie even the obvious till you see the names going up on your TV screen.
Chris- The Second Guesser
Chris! Chris! Chris! He loves movies that’s very obvious, so much so that he even plays the role of the script writer, he’s the kind of guy who will second guess every scene in the movie like he’s the one who wrote the script, so while you’re attentively and anxiously enjoying that gripping next scene suspense, the part where you don’t even want to blink because you think you will miss the action, he starts throwing predictions here and there about what’s going to happen next; what makes it worse is that the dude has never made a correct guess.
John- The Re-winding Freak
His problem is one; loving great movies too much, if you are going to watch a movie with a guy like John, better destroy the rewind and pause button on your remote control or else you will spend 4 hours watching a movie that would have lasted only 2 hours, this is because whenever you get to that great scene, he will play it back twice or more times, the dude just cant get over that part and for some strange reason he keeps coming up with excuses to dash here and there; just so you know, he wont let you continue with the movie while he’s away- PAUSE (we are waiting for John to come back so we can continue).

Maria- The Suspense Chicken
For Maria’s case you can’t blame her much (don’t take that to mean we should remove her from this list) she’s the type that has not really been watching movies that much so when a scary or tense scene gets on, she will cover her eyes till that particular scene is over and guess what happens next? (Its ok you’re not Chris) Yap she will ask you the one question you don’t really want to answer while watching a great thriller (what happened? did she/he die? And through out the movie these annoying little questions will keep popping up till you start thinking to yourself “surely there must be a reason why it’s called “WATCHING” not COVERING- YOUR -EYES –AND- LATER-ASKING-QUESTIONS”
