which stands for Daniel Day-Lewis in case you were wondering.

back in the day I went and saw "There Will Be Blood" with my ex who I lived with in Hamilton. we were reaching the tail-end of our boring relationship and a typical night out was seeing a movie and going to some chain restaurant which is okay sometimes (except not the chain restaurant part) but not always and I don't think he was really into what was probably going to be a really long, intense movie, which is exactly why I wanted to see it.

we were in a shitty theatre where the seats were all really close together and this couple in front of us wouldn't shut up and it was driving me crazy.

for example, there's this really intense scene that I can't tell you about because it's a crucial part of the movie and the guy starts going

SEE I TOLD YOU THAT WOULD HAPPEN OMG OMG SEE I TOLD YOU

and in a heated exchange wherein I informed them that if I had wanted to watch the movie with running commentary I would have waited to get the dvd and they said some nasty things to me and I said some nasty things back and then some other people in the rows around us stood up for me and told them to stfu also eventually we harassed them into leaving the theatre

which in hindsight is both somewhat of a dick move and also hilarious.

because if you think you're important enough to talk through a Daniel Day-Lewis movie you've got another thing coming.

after that we watched the rest of the movie in peace

though my now-ex boyfriend was less than impressed with what became one of my favourite movies

and sadly that debacle in the theatre was the most exciting thing that happened to us that night.
