What are two White Supremacists doing at a screening of The Help and at the first day of The Debt?
Well, I thought I'd finally see the blockbuster and so did this couple in the row in front of me: he, a baseball-cap-wearing kind of dude, with an American flag waving in the wind of his cellphone screen;she, a submissive quiet-toned dudette with a boyish-short hair cut. So anyway, in a scene when the discussion is about the means to build a for-coloreds-only outhouse for a couple of White Supremacists who can afford a domestic worker at Segregationist prices but not house additions, I groan, and then see the short haircut turn to profile, searching for whoever emitted the sound. I felt, hey, my feelings are being squelched for no good reasons,I'm not loud,she must have radar, but said nothing. At another particularly grueling scene, I groan again. A "Shh!"comes out. At another, the profile pops again, I ask what is it, she answers something as to me having to be quiet, I say shut up and that's a wrap. After that the entire theater started groaning (loudly), making indignant noises (loudly), laughing(loudly), sniffling(not too loudly), one laugh precipitating another, and another, all reactions over the sound. No one said anything when a character was asked what she thought of whites, the answer a silent not much. All, except the social engineering haircut profile who looked at me again, to see if what she thought I might not know might kill me.
As for The Debt, only the main outside theatre sign listed it. At the box office, there were no signs, no showing hours, this on opening day, and the ticket seller gave me a ticket for the wrong time. When I went into the unmarked projection room, there was a faint smell of insecticide, which two women in the crowd commented about. Old habits die hard.
tired of trite, bored by braggadocio, left and right puzzle alike? here.s a social satire and culture blog testing strained ethics all pre2010 posts stolen. I prohibit relatives, their fans from: me, contact, all administrative claims to decisional power or profit from info about me, in manners life, legal, medical, wear, social, intellectual or work, property, body, organ disposition, postmortem, alien to me. post hacking, slander is constant for slavery, torture and death also mine.
