A No-Show

Written by Emily Garrison, Graphic/Layout Editor

Family Movie Night at DB! Free Admission! Free popcorn! Come out and watch The Blindside, a movie that, for the most part, nearly everyone who watches movies has already seen. Though it was announced several times over the loud-speaker and displayed by posters in the hallway and on the school’s television, the turnout that Friday night was not a great number. When Jasmine Parks was asked if she had gone to see the movie, she replied, “No. I’d rather watch a movie with my own family in my own home.” She also stated, “Some students have other plans with friends or family on Friday nights.” Just minutes past six o’clock and the parking lot was nearly empty, with the exception of a teacher’s car and a few students who left soon after I arrived. A reason for the low attendance may have been because the recognition of fall sports, which was originally planned to be before the show, was canceled.  Based on all of the negativity towards the event I heard in the hallways, I was expecting a low outcome, but the actual outcome was shocking. Maybe Friday the 13^th wasn’t the best day to plan a movie night at school.
