Rants of A Coyote

Sometimes, movie commentary is enjoyed and welcome. At other times we just want to watch the movie. Please: Learn the difference for when to provide commentary, and when to just to hush and watch along.

Generally speaking, things that bother others when they are trying to watch a movie:

• Talking in general, especially if the person trying to watch has not seen the movie yet
• Random Lights and Sounds.
• Commentary about the movie
• Commentary about the Actors
• Your opinion about the actors. (Example: "Most" of us do not generally like Keanu Reeves, but almost everyone that saw it when it first came out enjoyed Matrix. When we choose to watch them, let us watch the Matrix Movies in Peace.)
• Asking questions about the movie, during the movie.
• Commenting how much better the movie would be "Uncensored" (Particularly on TV movies. Just leave it be.)

Now granted, there are times when the well placed question will really help with the viewing experience of one or more members viewing the movie... but bombarding us with questions every few minutes about a movie generally make us just want to turn the movie off and come back to it when there is no one around.

Now, there are some great movies to MST3K.  My personal favorite: Dragon Wars.

We rented this movie a few years back from a Red Box. We kept it a few extra days and watched it a couple times just to make fun of it during the movie.  I think we had about 3 alternate story lines going for the movie and for the life of me I cannot remember the actual movie storyline itself... All I remember are the "Zabookiookies".  I am sure that is not what they were called, but overall enjoyable.

What have been your best/worst movie experiences?
