Get a life!
On Saturday, I was given the unpleasant task of closing the theatre, which means I had to hang around until all the geeks who saw X-Men 3 left. I'm not saying every one who saw X-Men 3 is a geek, but a good majority of them are. While most moviegoers vacate the theatre after a movie has ended, geeks usually hang out in the lobby and have a serious discussion about the film for a good twenty minutes, before being forced out. These people seriously need to get a friggin' life. I ask you: What is more lame than seeing a movie on a Saturday night and then talking about it in a theatre lobby for twenty minutes? There are so many other things you could be doing with your life, why waste time talking about whether or not Wolverine will has his own movie, or how disappointed you were that Gambit was not in the movie?
When I was 13 years-old I used to ask similar questions, but most of these geeks are in their late 20s-early 30s. Most of them drink vast quantities of Mountain Dew, while laughing every time the filmmaker throws in a random reference to the comic books, or worse yet they applaud every time one of the main mutants shows off their powers. Therefore in X-Men 3, when Wolverine kills some one with his claws, they high five one another and cheer.
The sad irony is that most of these rabid X-Men fans will forget about X-Men 3 as soon as the next big blockbuster movie comes out. I can't wait until Superman Returns comes out, to see how many geeks will applaud it and how many geeks will dismiss it. Where's Bizarro? Boo hiss!

LOL, you're right about the geeks. It's sad that a group of 20-30ish people have to waste their time, and yours hanging out in the lobby of the theatre, you're fucking old enough, goto a bar and chat about it. I mean God, why was the time of someone who just wants to get home before 1am. But what the hell do I know? I was at the theatre on Thursday night/Friday Morning to catch the first showing. I had to acutally tell people to stay after for the end sequence, about ten seconds. All the other losers just went outside and sat in the lobby and outside the doors to the theatre to talk about the movie and smoke. Oh well losers, all of them.
Aiiiiiiiieeeeee...actuallyyyyyy...liked it.
