RIP Society of the Day: Several film-goers in Liverpool demanded a refund after seeing award-winning throwback film The Artist because they were “unaware that The Artist was a silent film.”
Patrons of the Odeon Liverpool One reportedly asked for their money back upon realizing the film contains no spoken dialog and is presented on a smaller screen
The Artist, which just landed 12 BAFA nominations after picking up a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture (Comedy/Musical), pays homage to the silent-era films of the 20s.
A Daily Telegraph source says Odeon Liverpool One ushers are now required to ask paying customers walking into The Artist if they are aware the film is silent.

are you freaking serious? why is it the theater’s fault that people went into a movie knowing absolutely nothing about it?
universal, no matter what language you speak you can enjoy
WHAT I LIVE IN LIVERPOOL AND IM SO GONNA WATCH THAT AT THE ODEON. WHAT IDIOTS.
This is like people who insist on a dub or an English adaptation because they don’t want to read subtitles. Seriously?...
Oh god. This just makes me sad.
