This past Saturday I attended a screening of the 1982 film The Thing. I was really excited and just ecstatic to have the chance to see it in theatre—I was and am sure I won't have the chance to see it again on the silver screen. Now my complaint isn't about the cinema, or the quality of the film, oh no. My gripe has to do with the audience. To be more specific, the idiots who felt it was necessary and "funny" to talk throughout the entire film. You know who you are. You thought it was hilarious to quote lines from the film inanely right after they were being said on the screen. There is nothing as rude as talking and spoiling the film for the other viewers, who has paid hard-earned money to see a classic. Well I hope the next time you choose to attend a screening of a film, kindly shut your mouth. If not I really hope someone shuts it for you. —Frustrated Film Aficionado

What's with the crazy font change? Sucks, change it back it is hard to read... —Cross-eyed

So I often hit up the drive-through of a certain ubiquitous coffee shop on my drive to work out of Halifax, and a few months ago, invested in one of their eco-friendly travel mugs. I was hoping to do my part as I buy coffee pretty much every day. However, I recently figured out that they simply fill a brand new cup with the coffee I request, transfer it into my travel mug, and then throw out the paper one! After observing this several times, I felt the need to tell others—demand that you are not toting your mugs around in vain! "Saving the world one cup at a time"—perhaps you should stick to what you preach. —Disgusted with Thrown Out Cups

Is it just me, or does it seem as though they are drawn for poetic hippies with an extremely dry sense of humour? Actually, most aren't even remotely humourous. Maybe The Coast might want to have some kind of comic competition each week?

Tell me people, honestly, how many of you actually look forward to reading the comics? —Polite Bitcherer

Wish you'd make a statement like that about a certain Muslim fellow and see where that'd get you... —Thinking Unchristian Thoughts

We should cut his fuckin legs off, THEN he could be free to go... fair trade? That asshole is lucky he didn't kill anyone. Finally a judge gives him what he deserves! —Fed Up with Drunk Drivers

I'm sorry, but this city is boring. Once you get tired of hanging out in bars there are very few things to keep Halifax interesting. —Bored Out of One's Skull

So what? The women's hockey team celebrated with cigars and champagne on the ice...so what? Who are the prudes making a stink about this...they just fucking won a GOLD MEDAL!! Who cares that they celebrated on the ice. Who cares that they had booze and cigars. Jesus H. Christ. Way to fucking ruin a great moment. I don't see too many people in the stands looking all concerned and shit. Actually, I don't see people in the stands at all so their celebration was more or less private...gawd... —Get Over It

DUDE! Why is it the older I get, the harder it is to find guys that just want to hang out in a way that is strictly platonic? I am a tomboy, I feel more comfortable having a casual beer and talking about random shit that doesn't include Jon and Kate Plus 8. I have girl friends that are like this, but dudes are cool too. I just want to find a guy that doesn’t get all insane about dating. WTF is wrong with that?!? —Recently Met Bitchers Exempted

Overall, I think everyone does a good job. The artists in the comic section totally suck, but I guess it must be near-impossible to find a good artist that will work for nothing. That section could go at anytime.

The most hated section, in my opinion, is the Savage Love section. We don't need to hear about any more anal sex stories. Talk about things that matter, leave the sexcapades for magazines that AREN'T ACCESSIBLE to children.

Other than that, and especially since Liz" I Love Wendy's combo #4" Feltham is gone, you guys are great! Thanks! —Chickity China the Chineese Chicken
