I've been dealing with people like that woman since the midnight show on Thursday. The showings will clearly be sold out the majority of this week, some seat switching is going to happen.
I definitely choked up a bit while watching it, but I watched it by myself on Thursday morning (only perk of working at the movies)so I'm actually really excited to watch it with a crowd at some point.
Did you see it in IMAX 3D or just regular 3D? What did you think of the 3D?
It was IMAX 3D. The 3D was fine; it added some cool depth at points, like the dementors hovering around Hogwarts. It would have been just as good without it, though.
I’m sure I’m projecting here, at least in part, but you know, if you're single/out alone, it can really, really suck to be treated like you count less because you are alone. It is like you are expected to accommodate other people (even the ones you don’t know) because they are in a group and you aren't. Their needs and desires somehow take precedence. It gets old really fast. I'm not saying she was right, but I think your reaction is a little strong. She doesn’t know you/your friends. She got there before you did and sat where she wanted to. Sure, it would have been really nice for her to move, but I don’t think her not moving warrants condemning her like that. For all you know, she has a medical issue that means sitting in that seat is important
( ... )
Word. I have a medical condition that sometimes forces me to get up many many many times during a long movie. Which is less considerate? My keeping my aisle seat, or my stepping on your feet eleven times?
I don't think it's an issue of being single, etc., necessarily, but planning and respect for her choice to get there early and chose that seat.
I probably wouldn't have refused because of guilt but I would have been PISSED and thought the people who asked me to move were jerks. It's nice to sit by your friends, and I would have wanted to sit by my friends, but it's also nice to not give up a seat that you took the time and effort to secure. Someone else's poor planning should not result in my being inconvenienced.
I may have just come back to it is being about being single; a group outweighs 1. No. hmmmmm.
Yeah, I would have kept the 3D glasses if they were Harry Potter ones! ;D
Spads - VM friendships FTW for sure!! :)
I do think the woman absolutely had a right not to move since she got there before us, but I also think ONE seat is not really going to be the life or death of your movie experience either, especially when you're still sitting in the center.
