I don't understand these modern pirates...

Did you hear they make $150 million a year hijacking tankers and fish boats? My Jack Sparrow, that's a lot of money. The mistake they do is that they don't invest any money at all in pirate movies. A pirate gets bad publicity on the news and good publicity in the movies. All they have to do is invest a couple of million in Hollywood to make more pirate movies. That's it! Or hire costume consultants from Hollywood to dress them in traditional pirate attire. People will see them more sympathetically on the news this way. The rest of the money can stay buried under Somali sand :)

good comedy Warning!

"This comedy will make you laugh very hard and without warning, so please don't drink or eat during show time. Do so at your own risk or only if you are skilled enough to eat or drink without swallow. We have tested the comedy on a group of 20 people, 2 of which choked to death from eating and drinking while laughing out loud, very loud"

Silence is gold but laugh can be fatal. I don't know if it's possible to ban eating and drinking in the movies, especially in comedies, but I happened to witness a couple choking to death from laughing out loud while eating and drinking since the start of the movie. Sounds crazy but it wasn't funny to hear them choking and patting each other in the back. Not that a warning in the beginning of the movie will avert a potential choking but at least there will be no excuse that people were not warned!

Previews at The End

Why should previews be shown only at the start of a movie? What about showing a few previews after the movie has finished? Previews at the end will cost less as they will probably be seen by fewer people but even if only half the audience stays seated to watch them, that's still good enough for the advertisers whose trailers will be shown to viewers who are more interested in watching them.

Turn off your mobile phone, don't play with your keys but feel free to eat pop-corn or snacks while watching a movie. Silence is gold but gold is hard to get in the movies! Pop-corn munching, paper folding...if the theater is full, then eating corn and drinking pop makes very annoying noise. If silence Is gold, why don't we ban pop-corn and other food in the movies so we can all get rich?
