the blockbuster movie

the movie
is long and tedious.
the acting
phoned in,
you can see
the beginning
middle and end
within
the first ten
minutes.
you need toothpicks
to hold your
eyelids open.
people are
laughing at
the sad parts,
mimicking
the dialogue.
you want to get
up and leave
but you
can't.
you have a giant
box of buttered
popcorn
in your lap
and a liter
of coke
leaning
in the cup holder
sweating
in your hand.
you haven't
opened up
the twelve dollar
bag of candy
yet.

A pan of a movie? Can you share the name and spare our weekly investment into the arts.
