RADCLIFF, KY–Radcliff residents who made their way to the Studio Cineplex 8 Friday night to see the latest summer blockbuster, Attack of the Alien Robot Zombies, are still unsure of the movie’s plot.
Nineteen-year-old Lisa Smit reports that, after leaving the movie, she and her friend, Julia Dutter, went to Clara’s 24-Hour Deli, where they saw another friend, Kristy Frank. When Kristy asked them what the movie was about, neither girl could answer the simple question.
The reason for their complete ignorance of the movie’s content was Francis Wilson, the man who had been sitting approximately five rows ahead of them. Wilson allegedly had a very loud comment for everything that happened in the movie. He talked to characters. He pointed out inconsistencies. And—since he had apparently seen the movie before—he also gave away parts of the movie and informed the entire theater of what was about to happen. Often, he got sick of paying attention to the movie, so he decided to converse loudly with a still unidentified companion about his job, his family, and his battle with hemorrhoids. Overall, he made it absolutely impossible to hear any of the dialogue of the movie. Most people in the theater were forced to use their imagination and guess what was happening.
Several people tried to quiet Wilson in a number of ways. Some “Shhhhhhh!”ed him loudly. Others asked, “Would you please shut up?” Others, more desperately, yelled out, “HEY! SHUT UP! THERE ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO WATCH A MOVIE HERE!!” while throwing things at him, such as popcorn, Raisinettes, and jumbo-size Mountain Dews.
When the movie ended, angry moviegoers left the theater, feeling especially violent. As he and his companion made their way through the parking lot, they were attacked by an angry mob. The incident was investigated and dismissed.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
Kristin lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Anna. She welcomes questions, comments, and fan mail at kdk@nightsandweekends.com.
