well..u know the basic rule of "AN' must be use with the words starting with AEIOU.
so the H isnt one of them... its common mistakes since some people pronounced HOMAGE Om'age,, instead of Hom'age// so it feels comfortable to say An Omage...
but ..its a Homage..
same like New Yorker..says Smokin' instead of Smoking.. Talkin' instead of Talking..or Yal..instead of You all :)
here..i copy/paste from a proper dictionary..
===
Webster’s New World currently recognizes two equally accepted pronunciations of the word: either HOM-ij or OM-ij. Since the pronunciation with “h” is listed first, that would favor “a homage” over “an homage.” *
meaning..unless u starting to write/or spell it - "an omage to King (example).. etc..
u gotta stick to "A Homage.for this few decades..ya?

Wow, that's too funny lol. I've never had this happen. Since going to the movies can be a little expensive, I do some research before going. Usually I just watch the trailer from a movie app on my phone. The app also has reviews and ratings from rotten tomatoes and a few other movie critic sites. I don't always go off of what the critics say because we all have different opinions. If I see a trailer I like,I'll make an effort to go to the theater to see it. Sometimes I'll be a little disappointed because I thought the movie would've been better and sometimes I'll come out thinking it was better than expected.

When i was younger i would go to the cinema irrespective of the type of movie.In those days i would see any movie.Under such circumstances i would be willing to see any type of movie though something like what you are mentioning never happened to me.Nowadays i read the reviews about a movie before deciding to watch hence I am not caught unawares about the type of movie.

before im going to see a new movie i always find time first to research something about that movie first if i find it interesting then i will be checking it out but if its not on the type or kind of movie i wanna see and spend time to watch and worth the cost then maybe just let it past

I normally go for more main stream films, and I seldom get to them before they've been reviewed 100 times. I try to steer clear of plot spoilers, I did manage to see "The Sixth Sense" before I found out what was happening from anybody else. I don;t know how anybody could miss the fact that a film is a silent movie, if they are that interested in the subject they should have half a clue. I think they are just trying it on, and I don't blame them th cost of oing to the cinema is getting really silly these days.
