Wanted: Cinema Buddy

- I ask for seats that are within the eye level. Unless of course the cinema is sold out and I have to painstakingly take a seat at the first three front rows or at the side.
- I like to play the unofficial trailer title guessing game. Sometimes, I get competitive with the other moviegoers and I try to guess the title before they do. Jerk move, I know.
- I do not talk during parts of the movie where my voice could overlap movie dialogue, therefore reducing chances of inaudibility.
- I appreciate a good movie musical score. I especially love when it can move me to tears. (e.g., Kick-Ass)
- I don't hog the shared armrest.
- I love action movies. I'm more likely to watch them than drama movies in the big screen.
- I always have a bucket of buttered popcorn with me, preferably Tater's. If this is your favorite flavor, you're in luck!
- I love going to cinemas that have a nice movie-going crowd. (i.e., people who know when to laugh, applaud, or give a standing ovation, AND people who know when to be dead silent)
- Although I have my must-watch-on-the-big-screen movies, every now and then I like to mix it up with corny and/or feelgood movies IF there's money to spare.
- I don't make unnecessary and unrelated comments unless I see a character that's also in another show I watch. I try to do it quietly unless it's a surprising cameo appearance.
- I turn my head and glare at noisy, inconsiderate people until they feel uncomfortable.
- I keep my phone in silent, ALWAYS.
- I appreciate a sensible debate should there be open-ended endings, but only AFTER the movie finishes.
- I wait until the ending credits finish because I believe the movie must be watched in its entirety. Also, just so I would not miss any bonus scenes at the very end.
- MOST IMPORTANTLY, I believe in KKB.
