Catch me if you can

I love movies, and I love to see them in a cinema. Student life was perfect in that regard, averaging three times a week. Now I am down to once a month, partially because it is expensive, mostly because I don't have time anymore.

I am absolutely convinced that movies need to be seen on the big screen, not only because of the sheer size of the picture or the superior quality of the sound system, but also because of the atmosphere created by the audience. But sometimes, I hate my fellow movie-goers. I do not like them to talk all the time (I consider that my part), I do not like them to laugh too much, I do not like them to take phone call, I do not like them to throw food. None of this is a problem in Japan. People are almost too well-behaved here. I also do not like them to arrive by the hundreds, take literally all the seats and force me to sit separate from the folks I came with (in this case Cissy, my fiancee). This last thing happens in Japan.
