The other day a few of us decided to visit the free outdoor cinema at Scoop next to City hall. We thought we would take a picnic and some wine and get there early and make a nice evening of it. The movie was an old one called 'Blow up'.An 'art house film' about a murder and a fashion photgrapher made in 1966.I had heard about this film and being interested in not only photography but also arthouse movies was looking forward to it.I had a wonderful evening.Until the movie started that is. people were supposed to get there before 9.15.Not only did people arrive after that time but preceeded to invade our picnic space and look at us as if we were committing a crime. It became apparent after 15 mins into the film that this was one of the worst and certainly the most pretentious of films I have seen from that era. It was a complete load of Italio drivel with some of the worst acting i have ever seen(David Hemmings was never thought of as a good actor even now).
Needless to say the audience became full of pretentious ex public school people and hippies (the sort who would root out anything if it was free). They seemed to be taking this nonsense very seriously indeed. One of these sheep even had the cheek to say that we were being disruptive because we were laughing at the sheer banality of the whole thing and some of the worst metaphors in history. I just wanted to say to those people .Firstly if you really wish to watch one of these types of movies in silence stop being a tight arse and get the dvd! Secondly I can you a list of a thousand better movies you probably haven't even seen just because its not on your pretentious list.Thirdly you should get a life and lighten up. The film really wasnt meant to be taken that seriously. You obvioulsy missed the joke completely guys.
