Surviving the Cinemas
Unless you’re going to the high-end cinemas like Greenbelt 3, PowerPlant or Shangri-la, watching a movie alone is not for the faint of heart.
Okay, I exaggerate.
It’s not that Manila movie houses have a taong-ahas (how do you say it in English? Human crossbred with a snake? Genetically mutated human?) hidden under the floors. Rather, it’s often littered with humans who are under the control of the one-eyed snake they have inside their trousers.
These are the guys you see standing against the walls on either side of the theater, even when there are plenty of available seats. These are the guys who seemed to have a terrible bladder problems; always going in and out of the toilet. These are the guys who can’t seem to sit still, always switching seats from one row to another.
These are the ones who will sit beside you, even if the rest of the row is empty. Once they feel that you’ve acknowledged their presence and don’t mind them there, the fun starts: they’d whip out their thingie.
I’m not kidding. This already happened to me once. The same thing happened again this afternoon, when I watched Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He didn’t have the time to show himself: as soon as he sat down, I stood up and moved to the center of the row. He stood up and left less than a minute after.
As far as I know, they don’t solicit any money for these *ahem* shows. So why do it?
Anyway, if this ever happen to you, just do what I did: move to another seat. If he’s persistent, shout, scream or yell.
Or if you’re like my paranoid friend, threaten him with the small pocket knife you always carry.
Geez. This has happened to a lot of girls I know (my bestfriend and Anna D. to name two). Thank god it hasn’t happened to me yet, no matter how many times I’ve watched a movie by myself.
These guys are bastards of the first degree. I’d want to use a tazer their dicks to teach them a lesson…
but then I’d have to throw the tazer away after the encounter. Ew.
Very insightful comments, but you did not spell several words correctly. You might do a spell check in the future — you know, just to look professional. Average run-of-the-mill personal websites and blogs I don’t really mind these problems, but when I go to a worldwide collection of blogs such as MetBlogs, I really do expect higher standards including proper spelling and decent English. Thanks.
