I Have Actual Magical Powers

but I think they might be of the Dark persuasion.

I like to go to the movies. Sometimes I get there early. Sometimes I get there late. Sometimes I'm right on time. I go to new releases. I go to dollar theater fare. I see comedies and action and suspense and kids movies. And, nearly every time, no matter what the situation, I somehow end up sitting next to the person who insists on providing their own running commentary. I could chalk this up to just plain bad luck (which, if history teaches us anything, it probably is), but I'm going to go with magic. It's just cooler.

Tonight, I learned that the gentleman who sat down behind me really enjoys Siena, Italy and likes to describe what is going on during the scene as it happens AND predict what is going to happen next, and does not deem it necessary to lower his voice when discussing all these things during a movie.
