Did anyone have to deal with obnoxious people who didn't read the books during their midnight premiere experience?
Well, when we first got in, they wouldn't shut up about what they were going to major in in college this semester (which told me that they were obviously younger than me.) during the previews.
Throughout the film, they just kept murmuring here and there (though what they were saying was still audible.) about what they found stupid in the show.
During the scene with Neville, they just kept screaming, "OMG NEVILLE. RUN. RUN. NEVILLE. RUN."
The time skip scene was coupled with them laughing loudly and going "OH GAWD OH GAWD LOLOLOLLO OH GAWD!"
Then, finally when the credits began rolling, they REALLY pissed me off by going, "DAT WAS STOOPID. DAT WAS STOOPID."
I couldn't take it, anymore. I could care less if they didn't like it. It was the issue of that they came to the MIDNIGHT PREMIERE and did all of this crap. Now, everyone knows that HP started off as a NOVEL SERIES. THERE ARE BOOK-ONLY FANS. Now, if you obviously didn't read the books, WHY WOULD YOU COME TO THE MIDNIGHT. PREMIERE? WHERE ALL OF THE HARDCORE FANS GO? Even more so, why did you come if you weren't even going to enjoy the damn thing and felt the need to talk throughout it? The last book has been out for four years. You could have just as easily looked up the spoilers or found a pirated version online. This is like any other movie today; It's pirated somewhere before it even hits theaters. That's just how it is, today. There are even really good quality pirated movies. There's no excuse for them not being able to just go see the movie during the daylight hours of Friday like most of the movie-only fans were going to do. Then, the final straw? The fact that they had to voice their opinions the entire time. I paid money to see this. My friends paid money to see this. An entire room of people paid money to see this movie. We waited in line for FOUR HOURS just to be seated to make sure that we would get good seats. We waited YEARS for this to be put on the silver screen. Nobody paid money to hear your shitty opinions about a series that you obviously aren't THAT passionately interested in. This is the third midnight premiere in a row that something like this has happened to me.
While we walked behind them I loudly scolded, "YOU KNOW, IF YOU DIDN'T BOTHER READ THE BOOKS THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE CAME TO MIDNIGHT PREMIERE WITH THE TRUE FANS AND BITCHED ABOUT HOW AWFUL THE MOVIE WAS." They didn't turn around until they were half way down the hallway and I flipped them off. They just kept walking and said nothing the entire way out the door. I could care less, too. Had I not been worried about punching one of them in the jaw or getting tossed out, I would have dumped my drink on them during the Neville scene.
