Ah, the days of standing in line in Manhattan for art house films, only to be deafened by moronic, faux film critics.
If you recognize--and you should--this scene from "Annie Hall," I can tell you this happened to me in real life more than I can recount. Or, at least it used to, before Covid hit us.
Which makes me wonder if it will ever happen again. Oh, idiots one can encounter anywhere, but there was something special, at least for me, about a movie theater culture clash. It was part of the New York Experience.
Emphasis on "was." The question is, will it ever return?
Or will future generations watching this scene, regard it as some kind of museum piece???????????????????????
The New York Idiot is a special breed indeed!

ReplyDeleteVictoria,
Idiots come in all shapes, sizes
and age. I agree the ones you
cite are especially obnoxious.
But this movie scene is a brilliant
encapsulation of what my life used
to be like in NYC. Now, I miss it!
