Secret Fest

Ahh, a one-movie day and it's a Secret Fest day to boot! I'm off the hook for writing, which is good because I need to go to sleep.

Secret Fest this year has been moderately OK. No real winners, but nothing completely loser-ish either. The two movies I've seen so far have managed to at least entertain a relatively diverse looking audience.

And speaking of the audience...

Audience Watch: Today's movie had a lot of good humorous bits with the audience laughter making it all the more fun. A woman sitting behind me unfortunately began the movie by loudly stuffing popcorn into her face nonstop and talking randomly. I wish I could understand what is so satisfying about chewing popcorn with your mouth open, and cramming it into your face at lightning speed. Maybe I will try it in the comfort of my own home and see. It wasn't even just chewing loudly at intervals, it was completely nonstop with no break between the lower volume segments of the movie. Most people will at least reserve their noisiness for loud sequences. Later on during the movie, the man sitting next to me started to fall asleep at exactly the point where I thought the movie was extending a little too long, and then proceeded to start snoring. I pondered nudging or hitting him, but then decided I didn't really care because the movie seemed pretty much over to me at that point and if anyone else had a problem with him they'd hit him instead. Also I've seen this guy at many, many showings and talking with many people, so I figure this is his schtick and i'll just let it be. Well, nobody ended up clobbering him and eventually he woke up and the movie finally ended.
