Rant: Teens Respect Neither Horse Movies Nor Their Patrons
Ranter: Teenaged boy and his three friends  Location: Century
Centre movie theater  Time: Just after a Wednesday night preview
screening of War Horse  Topics Covered: The cinematography of
Janusz Kaminski; the relative values of human and equine life;
movie-theater decorum; the practical benefits of headphones
[Throughout the movie, which is both overwrought and pretty
great, a group of bored teenagers in the back row of the theater
rustled, sighed, and burst into occasional, raucous laughter. At
the film's climax, as much of the audience sniffed back tears,
one boy shouted "It's just a horse! Fuck!" Afterward, the teens
gathered in the lobby.]  Noisiest Teen: That sky at the end, all
orange and shit. What the fuck was that? Skies don't look like
that! That's the end of the world or something. If you look up,
and it looks like that, that's not the time to hug your horse!
Boy with Earbuds: I'd be riding the horse and getting the fuck
out of there.
