Ranting Wednesday is coming to you late this week. I would say I didn't forget but remembering at midnight isn't exactly helpful when all you want to do is sleep.

This week I want to talk about a particular breed of cinema idiot and they aren't the type you usually find mentioned when people rant about the other people at the cinema. Usually it seems to be about teenager who giggle and chat through films, people with rustling sweet wrappers or stinky food and the curse of the mobile phone ringing in a tense cinematic moment. I am however willing to apply this to anyone who interrupts a film viewing and quite recently I found a cinema idiot in a new form, cinema staff.

I had been to see 50/50 and admittedly it was a late viewing and there weren't many people in the screen but there is no excuse for the staff to show such cinema idiocy by wandering chatting and noisily cleaning the back rows of the screen where no one is sitting. It's not often that I carry out my threats of complaints but this time I sent an email to the cinema (CINEWORLD - I still haven't forgiven them for the Harry Potter chaos), so I must have been annoyed. Quite an emotion moment of the film was ruined by their little conversations and surely they should just know better.
