i always want to show up really really early at the movie theater, like more than half an hour early for a movie, because i need to pick out my seat before anyone else is there, because if there is already somebody else present and seated i feel stared at and rushed, and i need the seat in the very middle and if i don't get it everything is askew and i can't concentrate on the movie, and it's even worse when people sit in the seat directly in front of me, because i have to scoot up all the way and not lean back so their head comes below the screen because i can't handle other peoples' stupid heads blocking any part of it, and the greatest nightmare of all is people sitting next to me. i love company but unless it's somebody i came to see the movie with, having people sit in the seat next to me freak me out and i have to spend the entire movie making sure that not a single part of me accidently touches any part of them, and my arm is folded onto me because i don't want to steal the chair arm and i kind of twist my whole body so that i look like i think they've got some horrid disease and then i feel bad and try to act casual and then i forget to concentrate on the movie and something funny happens and i miss the joke and argh. but again, that's just me. yeah so i saw hamlet and in the beginning i couldn't make out a single word spoken and i thought "shit, not again!" because when i saw the kenneth branagh hamlet my brain couldn't decipher the lines and even after i read the play i still didn't get things, it was all very confusing and disappointing and i got to feel all pathetic afterwards and ask what the hell the fortinbras shit had to do with anything and which one was horatio? then suddenly i started to get it and i don't know if it's because it was filmed as a movie and not as a play, like how the claire danes romeo + juliet was supposed to be but didn't quite reach except for style wise, but yeah i got it, and for the first time i wept a bit at the ending, so yeah, i do recommend it, it's a beautiful movie and i want to see it again, if that matters. end.
