an open letter to the lady who sat behind me during the departed

dear lady,

i am writing to express my sadness that you chose to vocalize your disapproval of each and every violent scene in the departed. while i can certainly respect your discomfort at these images, i have to say that your repetitive noises and grunts of disgust got old...fast.

it's a martin scorcese film. know that going into it. if you are bothered by violence, go see happy feet.

regards

cade


and while we are on the topic, hollywood hits played maybe the worst song i have ever heard before the movie. worse than that terrible "bad day" song. worse than this atrocity. i may even go as far as to say, worse than "drops of jupiter."

sidenote: let me say i think that mainstream country is pretty awful. it's the musical equivalent of those "ernest goes to..." movies. just pointless and stupid. if you like it, whatever. but you should know that you are filling your lives with garbage.

the song was "rising artist" shawn christopher's "little things." i would post a sample of the lyrics here, but the song is apparently SO bad that it cannot be found on the internet. anywhere.

just trust me, it's awful.

I can't be convinced that a worse song than that James Blunt mess could be played before a movie.

So all wretched music and odd grunts aside . . . how did you like the departed?

Ugh...country music. Sorry Mike, country music of all types is pretty awful. If I had the choice between that and rap (remember, you can't spell "crap" without "rap"), I would prefer to just stick sharp spikes in my ears.

mike- i agree for the most part...though anything outside of cash is lost on me.

le- who is this james blunt person of which you speak. it seems familiar but i just can't recall ever hearing of such an individual.

james- it was too violent...ha. just kidding. i really liked it. but i think marty is getting sloppy in his age. we can go into more detail in person.

bg- as much as i never thought i would admit to it. there are parts (very very small ones) to both genres that i have found rather good.

stupid record store.

Yeah, I think if I really sat down to think about it, I could probably come up with good examples of both genres I might like. Snap judgement though-ugh.

Maybe the woman just didn't like hearing all your groans of disgust while her favorite song was playing before the film...
