Cinema Code of Conduct

Today I went to see Little Fockers. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a mighty 10% which is probably why my branch of Cineworld insisted on calling it Meet the Parents.

The film was not half as bad as I was expecting and I did chuckle a fair few times. I would give it 2.5/5 stars. Certainly not as bad as the critics would have you believe.

Whilst on the subject of cinema, it still amazes me that people pay to visit the cinema and then decide to chat to their friends throughout the films. Throughout the adverts I can handle, but not the trailers and then the main feature. Wouldn't these people be better going to somewhere else and just chatting without having to pay the £6.10 admission fee. This would then leave the cinema free for those who actually go to the flicks to watch the film.

To that end, Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo's 'Wittertainment Code of Conduct' is well overdue and I wish that either or both of them would present this prior to the film being shown. This would kill two birds with one stone because if I have to sit through that horrendous Jack Black 'Gulliver's Travels' Orange advert one more time I swear I will kill someone.

For those not familar with the code of conduct, here it is:

1. No Eating
2. No slurping
3. No rustling
4. No irresponsible parents
5. No hobbies
6. No talking
7. No mobile phone usage
8. No kicking of seats
9. No arriving late
10. No shoe removal
