Annoyances in the cinema

Post Reply New Topic

The worst occurrence in a theater I've had so far was when I saw Pan's Labyrinth at the local independent theatre. I went by myself in the first week, so it was packed to the point that I was forced to sit next to a complete strange. Usually, people are polite to me and leave me alone, but this time there was some really, really creepy dude (sweating profusely, loudly mouth-breathing) that sat next to me. For about half of the movie, he just stared at me. Not casual, random half-glances. Full-on staring with the heavy breathing. To top it off, he asked me to share the box of Dots I brought with me. On the plus side, his hands never disappeared from sight.

well me personaly i always get to the theater early so i can get a seat on the very top center row, and what really bothers me is people doing stuff on there cellphones, it distracts me from the movie. i mean it kinda stands out, its really dark in there

i tend to go to movies either on saturday mornings or on weekdays during the school year(if i have a day off work).
on weekdays there are less peoples.

i try to get a seat in the back.

I love going to the movies because of the immersive sound (it's like being in a cinematic womb) and seeing a movie on a really huge screen when it just came out, but if there are people even sitting in my row...

So usually I wait a week after it's been released. Fortunately, my town gets movies about a month after they've been released so hardly anyone is there. Unfortunately, they're usually kids who talk the entire way through. The good news is that it's a really big theater, they sit up front and thanks to my spectacular vision (AS is good for something finally! ), I can sit in the back and not be irritated.

Not bothered at all, but then again, I don't go to the movies that much. Too expensive, and there aren't that many good movies out there.

In the UK we have rules that you can't talk. Only people that do are Austisic "non AS" because they can't help it.

I want to go to one of those movie theaters that serve full-course meals while you watch the movie.

Last year around Halloween my friends and I decided to go see The Rocky Horror Picture Show at a theater we had in our little college town that played old movies. If you can believe it, I had never seen it, so I was looking forward to rectifying that. Well, the movie starts, and we're sitting up there in the balcony, and some dumb arse in the seats below us, who was probably a college student buzzed on alcohol, starts shouting remarks and insults at the characters onscreen. I mean, it was funny at first, but he kept doing it. For every line the characters said. Finally, about ten minutes into the movie, my friends and I had had it, and I'm pretty sure the other theatergoers were quite cheesed as well. I was going to suggest we ask the usher to shut this idiot up, but the guy who drove us demanded our money back and we simply left. I was dropped off back at my dorm room about 30 to 40 minutes after I had initially left, and of course my roommate was confused.
I had been excited for a night with two friends watching a cult classic I had never seen. That night was the absolute pits.
