Before movie streaming was even a concept, you had to physically take yourself to a video store . Back in the day (the 1990s, in this case) when you wanted to watch a film, you had to visit a Blockbuster or a Hollywood Video location. These were glorious rooms full of video tapes , and later DVDs entered the mix. The place was full of people at any time of day. You would usually rent a few movies for under $5 a peice, and would return them within a week or so, just like you would with a library…

The movies are a place for silently watching films, and these folks did the exact opposite. Luckily for them, they were 1) funny and 2) brief with their jokes . There are few moviegoing experiences worse than being stuck with a jokester. That's a person who thinks they're funny at a movie , but they are certainly not. Usually, they'll yell out a joke, and it will get a big laugh. So their ego is stoked, and they keep going, yelling out more and more jokes and witticisms as the movie rolls on. A…

Since the invention of the online star rating system, people have been leaving one star reviews for companies they had poor experiences at. But as you certainly know if you ever peruse these reviews, a lot of people have a bad time due to self-inflicted mishaps.

Movie fans can be absolutely savage in their reviews.

Genuine question for those who play music out loud in public places : why do you do it? Whenever I see people walking around blasting music on their phones , I usually assume they don't have headphones. From my personal experience, I know how easy it is to break, lose, or forget your headphones, leaving you without audio entertainment for a day. How annoying! Maybe that person blasting music on the train works several jobs and doesn't have a lot of personal time to enjoy music in their own home…

Sneak a peek into the behind the scenes world of these doomed-from-the-start film shoots , where you'll find small budgets and big egos. Film sets are not really fun to be on, unlike the way they're so often portrayed in media. If you're an A-list actor, you're going to have an amazing time. But for everyone else, you're going to be stressed out and crying by hour three. You need to have a thick skin and a tolerance for big personalities, and then you'll have to get used to working incredibly l…

It's remarkable how many people watch movies and completely miss the point.

What's the worst movie you've ever paid to see in a theater? One poster in the r/Movies subreddit asked this burning question, and people had some incredible answers! A lot of people seemed to see “Epic Movie" in theaters, which is understandable, because if you're a teen, you might think that movie sounded cool. But the people who paid money to see “Highlander 2” and “Holmes and Watson” in theaters, WYD? I'm so sorry to those people who paid to see those on the big screen. Someone else said th…

Twitter is, has always been, and is likely to become increasingly: problematic. The platform is known for its hot takes, fandom drama (as well as real-world drama), and clout chasing. Plus, there's something inherent in the structure of users thrusting their thoughts out into the open void, hoping for accolades from others, that encourages the narcissistic behavior the platform cultivates.
