most annoying thing to happen to you at the movies

[JET DEATHEATER]

my worst experience was at Signs.In the theater there were a bunch of little kids crying and screaming.Food was thrown around.A group of teens in the front kept using laser pointers and were cussing and laughing and talking on cell phones.A woman yelled at them to shut their pie holes.She was dejected out of theater for "Misconduct"while they laughed and hooted.A little kid crawled over my lap and knocked my soda all over me.I threm him off and me and his parents got into a huge argument.I only caught a part of the movie.I went back the next night to a quiet theater and enjoyed it.

[Switzer]

Once I was at a theatre(I forgot what movie) the girl in front of me keep getting up,sitting down,answering cell phone,etc.

Bitsh :mad:

[Doomsday]

I was seeing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. A whole group of girls were in the front row (even though the theater wasn't even packed) and were making a huge commotion. Then some kid went outside, bought the biggest drink avaiable, walked back in, took off the lid, and threw it all over them. The kid and the girls were kicked out, and that was worth the price of admission alone.

[Kris Hodgson]

A screaming baby when I went to Matrix Reloaded. Who in the hell would bring their baby to The Matrix!?!?!?!?!?!?! Of course the baby is going to scream. Surround Sound blasting out explosions and gunfire for an hour and a half. The poor baby must have been miserable. If you can't get a babysitter, DON'T GO TO THE MOVIE!

Idiots.

[m00se]

I havenb't had many bad experiences... but one of the worst was when this kid was sitting next to me and my friend and kept burping for half the movie. He was actually sitting next to my friend, so she shook her fist at him [she has this mocking way of shaking her fist... like an old lady getting angry at kids outside thumping their bass too loudly] and he was quiet for the rest of the movie. It didn't matter much because it was at Pirates of the Caribbean, whch I had already seen 2 or 3 times by that time... but still. The kid was like 10. Movies have the ratings that they do for a reason.

[Switzer]

Once I went to watch LOTR 2 this guy who sat beside me keep talking to me about how cool Harry Potter 2 is gonna be.Then the movie started and he was like "Why the hell does Harry look like that!"

[viniciousknibb]

I saw an advance screening of "Finding Nemo". I was sitting in the isle seat when a woman and her three children came in ten minutes late. The theatre was packed and the only seats they could find were the one next to me and the two across the isle from me. So this woman is siting next to me with one child on her lap through out the entire movie while the other two are across the isle. There was only one drink and one popcorn between the four of them. The two across the isle kept coming over to get a drink every two minutes. At one point the child sitting on the mothers lap crawled into mine and the mother didn't take her back for ten minutes. I finally went off on the woman. I told her that people like her are the problem with modern movie going. Not just the kids but people who get cell phone calls and not only pick up the phone but also actually talk. During "Attack of the Clones", some guy's phone went off. This guy was sitting next to me during a movie that I had been waiting for for a long time. I took that phone out of his hand and threw it at the screen. He was so shocked. He didn't do anything but get his phone and leave.

RULES OF CONDUCT IN MOVIE THEATERS



TEENAGERS



(1) APPROACHING THE THEATER

(a) You will not wait until you are in line before deciding what movie to see. Neither will you debate which movie to see when it is your turn at the ticket counter, thus holding up everyone else behind you. You will have your game plan together by the time you leave the house.

(b) You will not further hold up everyone behind you by arguing with the ticket seller when he or she refuses to sell you a ticket for an R-rated movie without checking your photo ID. Nor will you bring a note from your mother and beseech the ticket seller to "call my mom, she says it's okay, she's home, just call her." (I actually saw this happen at AMERICAN PIE.) If you are 17 or over, bring photo ID. If you are under 17 -- if you are even an unusually mature 16-and-a-half-year-old -- you are no longer considered old enough to see R-rated movies by yourself. Deal with it, and welcome to post-Columbine America.


(2) ENTERING THE THEATER

(a) If there are five or more of you, and you arrive late and the theater is packed, you will not expect people who are already seated to split up or move so that you can all sit together. Arrive early, or expect to sit apart.

(b) The backs of the seats in front of you are not your personal footrests, particularly when people are occupying those seats. Be advised also that when you nudge, kick, or jiggle the seat in front of you, it annoys everyone sitting in that row even if that particular seat is empty. This is not tolerable and will result in your immediate expulsion from the theater if the jostle-sensors in our specially-designed seats alert us to this violation.

(c) Since it is safe to say that nobody over, say, 21 carries laser pointers or finds it unbelievably witty to shine them at the screen, all teenagers will be asked to pass through a metal detector at the door; any laser pointers will be confiscated and returned to you after the movie. Unless, of course, the theater manager opts to destroy the laser pointers, which would be just fine with me. There are two types of people who buy laser pointers: those who buy them for legitimate business purposes, and those who buy them to be annoying at movies (or concerts). Those who buy them to be annoying will have them taken away. In fact, we are working on a law prohibiting the sale of laser pointers to anyone under the age of 21. If you are not in the business world, there is little reason for you to own one.

(Teenagers are also advised to study carefully the General Guidelines for Non-Disruptive Behavior further down this page.)



PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN



(1) SMALL CHILDREN

(a) Despite the MPAA loophole, children under the age of, say, 12 have no business attending an R-rated movie even when accompanied by a parent or adult guardian (you). They will not understand or appreciate the movie and may even pick up a few unsavory words, or wake you up in the middle of the night with nightmares for weeks to come. (Rough justice meted out to stupid parents.)

(b) Films for children are films for children. One expects to see small children at a screening of, say, THE IRON GIANT. Films for adults, on the other hand, are films for adults. One does not expect or want to hear shrill little voices in a theater showing THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR. Some adults who attend films meant for grown-ups may be parents themselves, and are trying to have a grown-up night to themselves, away from the unpleasantness of children. Other adults who do not have children, and do not particularly like children (such as myself), also have a right to an evening away from children.

(c) In any public place, not just at the movies, it is unseemly for children to emit the sort of piercing shriek known to unclog sinuses and restore sight to the blind. Unless the child is on fire, or his/her intestines are exposed and visible, a child really has no reason to produce such a sound, and should be strenuously discouraged from doing so, especially in the presence of adults who have had a hard day at work and just want a nice, peaceful night out at the movies or at a restaurant.

(d) Now is as good a time as any to teach your children the General Guidelines for Non-Disruptive Behavior, outlined below. Oddly, many adults commit the same moviegoing sins commonly ascribed to children, who at least have the excuse of being children.


(2) BABIES

(a) Babies do not belong in a movie theater. They belong at home with a babysitter or trusted family member. If you cannot find a sitter or trusted family member, then you will stay home with the baby. Which part of this is difficult to understand?

(b) Children under the age of four will not be allowed entry into a theater. Point blank. A three-year-old is simply too young to sustain the attention span required by the average-length feature film (90 minutes to 2 hours). I don't care if you think your kid is unusually gifted and bright. Every parent says that. I have yet to meet a parent whose toddler is not unusually gifted and bright. In fact, over the last 20 years or so, there has apparently been a spectacular rise in the number of unusually gifted and bright preschoolers. They are everywhere. I often wonder where these unusually gifted and bright toddlers go, because there hasn't been a parallel rise in unusually gifted and bright adults.



ELDERLY PEOPLE



(1) HEARING PROBLEMS

(a) You should not be talking at all during the movie (see the General Guidelines for Non-Disruptive Behavior, codified below), but you especially should not be talking in the loud monotone commonly associated with elderly people who have experienced a decrease in hearing ability.

(b) You should not be repeating every word of dialogue for the benefit of your hard-of-hearing companion. The people around you heard the dialogue just fine, and do not require the instant replay. Get a hearing aid.


(2) SIGHT PROBLEMS

(a) If you must read credits or subtitles aloud for the benefit of a less-than-sharp-eyed friend or spouse, do so quietly, so as not to disturb those around you who can actually see letters that are roughly two feet tall.


(3) THROAT PROBLEMS

(a) If you are experiencing a mild illness of the throat-clearing or coughing variety, take plenty of lozenges or stay home. Sudden, raucous coughs or "hrrr-HMMMMMM"s are extremely challenging to your fellow moviegoers' ability to focus on a complex narrative.



GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR NON-DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR



(1) TALKING

(a) Conversations are permitted up until the start of the first trailer. You may talk through the lame animations telling you where the exits are, etc. You may even talk through the commercials, which are becoming increasingly common in movie theaters and generally deserve to be talked through. Once the first trailer begins, however, your mouth should close, and should not open again except to laugh at appropriate comedic moments in the film, or in the case of extreme emergencies, such as being on fire, or your intestines being exposed and visible.

(b) The less intelligent among you never seem to understand the plot of any given movie. We overhear you quite often, asking your companion what just happened, or guessing what's going to happen, or generally commenting on the movie in a witless fashion that will not endanger the memory of the late great MST3K. Such dense moviegoers will be issued complete synopses of the film, printed in glow-in-the-dark text, for easy access to such conundrums as what they're gonna do now, why the man did that, etc.

(c) Carrying on a conversation throughout a movie, in a normal speaking voice, as if you were sitting in your living room and not among dozens of other people who paid to hear the movie and not your conversation, will not be tolerated. Raising your voice to be heard above the noisier scenes in a movie is an even more serious sin. Once the movie begins, sound sensors in your seat will pick up any conversation conducted above a discreet whisper; you will be located and warned once. A second violation will result in immediate expulsion from the theater with no refund. (With comedies, the sensors will allow for hearty laughter, though unusually loud or grating laughter that sounds like a duck being sodomized with an airhorn may also result in a stern warning.)

(d) The only time talking during a movie is permitted is when the movie is so beyond redemption and terrible that no sane person could endure it without snarking off at the screen. Currently, any movie directed by Joel Schumacher or Michael Bay, or any big summer movie by Warner based on an old TV show, is eligible for sarcastic commentary. The films of Whit Stillman are also fair game for well-timed fart noises in the middle of an especially self-conscious dialogue scene, and anything written by Kevin Williamson these days is not far behind.


(2) OTHER DISRUPTIONS

(a) Candy and popcorn will be served in boxes. No bags, no wrappers, nothing that crinkles. Anything remotely crinkly will be barred from theaters.

(b) Remember the metal detector teenagers have to pass through in case they have laser pointers? Well, guess what: adults will have to pass through it, too. Anyone with a cell phone will have it confiscated and returned to them after the movie. This is to prevent the ****ing thing ringing in the middle of a particularly tense and quiet scene in THE SIXTH SENSE (this actually happened). We don't trust you to turn the phone off, because a lot of you fail to do so; therefore, we will simply take the phone away from you if you absolutely insist on bringing it into the theater.

(c) If you and one other person are the only people in the theater, you will refrain from striking up a conversation with that other person while waiting for the movie to start. Movies aren't social events. You will especially refrain if you are male and the other person is female, because you will create an undertone of stress for the female that will mar her enjoyment of the movie. "Is he gonna try picking me up? Or sitting next to me? God, can't I even go to a ****ing movie by myself without some ******* invading my space?" And so on.

(d) If you are in love with another person, good for you, mazel tov, whatever. Just keep it to yourself. The darkness of a movie theater does not give you license to smooch, coo, exchange sweet words, fondle each other, or worse. If you feel you must engage in such nauseating behavior, get a room. Don't try to impress us all with how deeply you two are in love, because frankly, Sparky, we don't give a ****.

(e) The Golden Rule:


The world does not revolve around you.
You are not the only one in the theater.
The theater is not your living room.
For two hours of your life, be considerate of those around you.
Sit quietly and view the film.
Which part of this is difficult to understand?

[FilmJerk]

couple of years ago I got in a fight with this dude who kept passing back and forth back and forth. Then he spilled his drink on me and thought it was funny. Beat the living **** out of him

[Kable24]

damn where do you all live that this happens? We usually just have bawling kids, people talking. The most recent was when I went to see Freddy vs. Jason, there was a family in front that laughed and talked through the whole thing. They did the typical yelling at the screen. Then there was a little kid with his dad and the little kid was telling him about the scene right before it happens. Little ****e!! The best experience in a theater was when I went to see the Hulk. I was the only person in the whole theater!!!

[LOTRNUT04]

ive only been to one movie where someone was annoying/innappropiate. It was FOTR, and some stupid teenagers thought that they couldn't handle boromir's death scene, and kept laughing at all of the serious moments. That was the worst because that death scene was amazing, and some people are soo immature that they cant ever handle an emotional moment. Stupid people!!!!

[The Moose]

people talking, cell phones going off, and people with really crinkly bags of food. i don't usually tell people to shut up, but i almost went absolutely nuts at this person

[PsYkOoOoO]

served him well:)

anyway...crying babies...i was watching two towers..the bit when theoden/saruman mocked at gandalf...and started laughing...this kid started imitating him..really loudly...i almost killed that kid...chair kicking as well...ppl with body odur sitting close beside...hmm...talking is fine...but i cant stand constant non-stop talking...

[Durden]

I went to the first showing of The Matrix Revolutions. Excuse me while I make a list...

1. I live in Montana. This time of year is cold. This is a given and I can't be too upset about it, and yes I could have stayed home but stay with me here. I stood in line about an hour (Not Bad) This part I had no problem with, but it was about 15 degrees out. Fine Fine I can deal.

2. A sh_it load of people jumped ahead of my friends and I as soon as the door opened to begin the presale. And the bass-turds bought about 5 tickets each making us (Who only wanted one a piece, there where 4 of us) wait about another 15 minutes while the kid figured out how to presale about 20 tickets for a later show. Ok this isn't too bad either cause I knew I would still get in... BUT my friends and I were crammed in the doorway while we waited and the crosswind from the doorway and the mild heat from inside made it feel twice as cold. Not too bad so far, I'm not a baby, I can deal.

3. My friends and I arrive quite early to our showing that we bought tickets for and went to stand in the theater. After sitting/standing in the theater for about fifteen minutes a employee comes up to us and tells us that we need to go back outside and wait till they begin seating. Pizzed we go outside to a line of about a hundred people long and go to the back (By this time it has dropped in temperature) ... 1 minute later (No Joke) the same kid comes outside and starts to let people in. Now I'm upset.

4. When we finally get inside and find seats... mine is broken and slanted forward. Yeah, this'll be fun for two hours...

5. Apparently the lovely people at the theater forgot to tell us that their heater was broken... it's about 20 degrees inside.
F_ck. (Honest ta god 20 degrees)

6. At the precise moment in which a certain main character passes... a person in front of me also passes... gas. Loud. The theater erupts in laughter. I miss the parting dialogue. Funny in retrospect, but at the time I really wanted to hear the goodbyes.

7. The film ends and my legs are so cold that I can't feel my feet. The next day I wake up to a brand new fancy head cold! YEAH!

The one movie I looked forward to above any other this year, turned out to be the worst movie experience of my remembrince. Well I guess that carma for ya... I guess I shouldn't have hit that little old lady at the crosswalk that morning... (Now I'm joking... maybe..... Muwhaaaa!) sorry....

dude ur a champ, i'd pay to see that.

I swear, if they banned mothers with kids from cinemas, id be a happy man.

[cg124]

what pisses me off more when parents take there kids to the movies is when they take there little kids to R rated movies. It becomes annoying when a kid screams becasue of scary parts. Lahtough when i saw freddy vrs. jason with a group of people a mom brought her little kids with here and surprisingly they didn't make any noise.

[ea19]

I haven't had very many annoying things happen to me at movies. But, once, when I was seeing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, this really annoying kid sat next to me. Through the whole movie, he was whispering, "Oh, thats so awesome!!!", or "Oh, yeah, this is the part where he's all, awesome and stuff." I swear, he used the word "awesome" in every single sentence.

[AnGeL's_BaBe03]

I was sat in the movies watching american wedding i think, and this woman with big massive hair came and sat right in front of me, i wouldn't of minded if she would of shut up but she had the loudest laugh ever it was really annoying.

[Highfire]

theres been 2 movie going experiences that I almost told the people to shut up

#1: Seabiscuit, this man behind me talked through the whole but he wasnt useing his inside voice no he was using his outside at a concert voice.He must have already seen it because when the characters would speak he would qoute them word for word.

#2: The Rundown,these teenagers behind me were talking but these others teenagers walked in late and while they were walking up the steps one of them yelled out " Oh my god,look whose here,bob,tina,look its steve hey steve" they talked like that for 5 minutes then all of them finally left

[JET DEATHEATER]

While not annoying this was disturbing.At Texas Chainsaw Massacere a womann had a little girl with her.About 1 or 2.The noise was loud and when leather face or someother distubing images pop up the sound system would be loud.Well the little girl kept crying and beging to leave.And get this.no lie...The woman slapped the girl in the face 3 times and screamed at her to shut her %@#*@ mouth.Everyone was stunned and we stared at her for several mins.As Everyone left when it was over a large woman confronted her.They got into a shoving match and the authorities had to show up.That was the worst Parenting i have ever seen.

[mistaste]

My worst one was when i went to Matrix Reloaded, the cinema was packed and this we'll call him "mentally challenged" kid was sat in the back row, and everynow and then he made little noises which was alright, until it got up to the part with The Architect, and id seen it before, but i didnt understand it so this time i was tryin to listen to it but oh wait, no, he has to sit there shouting "GO HOME NOW, GO HOME?!? GO HOME NOW?!?" god i was ****ing pissed off with him i was dyin to drag him out and just leave him lyin in a bin, i shud have, but that would have been evil, i dunno if i was the only person proper pissed off but i know me mates were!!

Oh my god. That is horrible. Poor little girl.
I put some blame in the ticket sellers as well though. Why would you sell someone a ticket to Texas Chainsaw knowing that they are bringing in their toddler?!?!?!?!?!?! I would just refuse to sell it to them.

[mentiroso]

Well some can call me racist but I can bet money that if over half the crowd is black that it is going to be horrible. I can give numerous examples but a few would be:

Swat - a crowd of black gangster looking fools kept running in and out of the theater talking, laughing, and sometimes yelling. What made it bad is that there were 2 ushers in there and they did NOTHING. I even emailed the home office of Carmike Theaters and they gave a lame ass reply abiout not being able to control patrons. Whatever

FvJ - about 15 black kids kept over reacting to anything funny or scary. If one little thing popped up on the screen they would scream like they had been stabbed. They did this about 30 times during the movie.

TCM remake - once again, a herd of black kids over reacting to anything scary, yelling and this time talking on cell phones.

Final destination 2 - not so much a audible distubance, more of a visual. This black lady had a baby with her. now the baby was quiet the whole movie because she was breast feeding him. nothing wrong with that except she was sitting 2 seats over from me and had both of her boobs hanging out. now if they were nice boobs I wouldnt be complaining but there were national geographic *******. even more gross than the death scenes in the movie

now I could go on and on and on.
I am not saying that whites/latinos/chinese/mexicans dont cause problems BUT it seems to be something you can guarantee if there are a herd of younger black kids in the theater. I have seens herds of white kids and they act fine, herds of white and blacks hanging out just fine, but a group of nothing but younger black kids and you can go ahead and ask the manager for a free pass to make up for the horrible experience.


Best movie experience would have been Kill Bill. Just me, my gf, and one cool black dude. Had the greatest time.

now I do want to note that the majority of my town, around 70%, is black so maybe if we had more white people I would feel the same way BUT that isnt the way it is so that is why I say what I say. Hell the wayans made fun of the fact that black people are rowdy in theaters in scary movie 1 so it isnt just me.

[MazzaRedd]

matrix revolutions - bunch of guys behind me playing games on their phones and messing around with their ringtones

the two towers - there was a power cut and we all had to get evacuated

matrix reloaded - i had really bad hayfever and couldnt stop sneezing

attack of the clones - they skipped the first 20 minutes of the film, then went back again and went silent sometimes

[dr_evil]

ok i have had lots of these

when i saw bringing down the house
these 3 teenage girls came in late and ended up making me scoot over 1 seat so they could sit together (which i did only because i am a pushover:p )
and during the movie the one next to me was talking most of the time and then she left the theater came back 30 minutes later and then left for another 30 minutes

and then when i saw signs this big family came 5 minutes late (there were like 8 of them and 3 were kids under 10) and then the really young one started screaming and they took like another 5 minutes to sit down (and there daughter was running up and down the aisle)

and then during Spirited Away these 2 teenagers came in 30 minutes late and then sat 5 seats from me (it was almost empty) and started "DOING IT" right beside me:) and that lasted for like an hour 15 minutes and then they left

[mentiroso]

Sorry about that. It was cheaper than a motel room :D

Admit it though. You liked it better than the movie!

[Skinny]

lucky for me, I really never had any annoying movie experiences... so far... yea, i had children cry, cell phones going off, and stuff, but nothing annoying enough to piss me off... there was a false fire alarm when I was watching "Down To Earth"... they didn't let all of us go back, so they just gave everybody a free pass to another movie... which wasn't so bad...

[Switzer]

You just copied "RULES OF CONDUCT IN MOVIE THEATERS" from somewhere didn't you,Boone?

[Switzer]

O yeah,once I met one of my teachers at the theatres.:(

and this would be worse than a bunch of pick-up drivin', red-neck cowboys hootin' and hollarin' and throwing stuff at the screen BECAUSE?

[KellyM]

when i went and seen punch drunk love, it was an independant cinema in a small town, the picture was crooked, it was terrible, they stopped the movie to try and fix it but they couldnt, so they showed the rest of the movie in the crooked state.

Moron. Did you not even read the post?
I clearly said that blacks arent the only people that are rowdy in theaters, just seems to be the only ones that cause trouble in my theater (and yes there is only one in town). I even said in the post that it didnt mean whites/chinese/mexicans dont cause trouble. Just is always worse when a herd of black kids are in the place.

I knew some moron would read that and post something about whites doing it to so that is why I put that in my post you stupid jackass. Learn to read.

[rayzor09]

I've seen a woman get news she was pregnant in a movie theater once... I felt good for her, but... jk :P

[anotherhit]

This sucked really bad. Worse than any kid screaming could ever bother me. This was a couple of years ago a few of us went to see the first Blade. We were all into it it had turned out to be a great movie. And then here comes the great climax, the fight btw Blade and Frost. Have you ever seen a film burn on screen. I looks cool, but it was not. This happened right before they were about to go at it so they gave us are money back and I never got around to seeing the endign till it came to video. That sucked.

[sphericthor]

The worst thing that has happened to me was the usual person with a phone, but this person didn't have the decency to say that he was watching a movie and he'd call back. He continued the loudest conversation I've ever heard and I was ready to get off my seat and kill him for that.

There was another time when we went to see a preview screening of Hulk where a 5 year old kid was sitting right in front of me. Would he ****ing shut up.... NO!! He just talked the whole way through the movie asking questions like they do

Also there was the bad movies, Bruce Almighty, Tomb Raider 2, Star Trek Nemesis, the list could go on but there was no annoying people at those movies, it's like they only go to the good movies to piss people off.

[Rabbit12]

well, i've had some bad experiences but not actually from other strangers in the cinema.
1st - when me and ma friend went to c matrix reloaded, i was really excited cos i'm a huge matrix fan. Anyway, when the guy tore our tickets and told us what screen to go to, he told us the wrong one. So, it was the matrix reloaded, but it was half way through, and we didnt relise until it finished and we had only seen an hour of it.
so then we had this huge thing about complainin , and there was a big fuss, and we eventually got to c it again, at a showing afterwards. but it was so wierd cos we had seen the second half already. but that wasnt bad...
2nd - went to cinema and bought tickets earlier to go see american wedding later on. my smart friend then decided to get her nose pierced before we went to see the film. and she didnt think it would bleed so much. so it toke longer than we thought to get it done, and she was bleedin so much it looked like she had had her face smashed in. and we had to run through glasgow to the cinema as we were l8 with her face bleedin and people starin. when we did eventually did get into the cinema, people were starin too, some askin if she wanted 1st aid, and makin a fuss. it was so bad. arrrrggghhh!

[Brock Landers]

MALIBU'S MOST WANTED: 8 year olds in the front row laughing like "sodomized ducks through an airhorn" and throwing **** in to the air. One lady went down there and cussed the **** out of then. I gave the lady a high-five when she returned.

PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN: Family infront of me wouldn't stop getting up, every 5 minutes...

MATRIX RELOADED: Some kid around my age wouldn't stop talking. So I waited until he relaxed and then BAAAAAMMM! I kicked his seat the hardest I could and sent him sprawling nearly over his row.

[Lachesis]

The funniest:

1997. Star Wars: Special Edition, Saturday night at the biggest theater in town. Great crowd, full of fans. The movie rolls along just fine until the Luke's last run at the Death Star.

The picture cuts out.

Dead silence.

Then, the entire audience, in unison: "AAAAAAAAAAAUGHH!"

Turnes out there was a blackout to the whole block. They managed to get the movie running again after about fifteen minutes, and all was well.

The worst:

College campus screening of "American Beauty." I'd already seen the movie and loved it, but it was a mistake to see it with a bunch of college kids (I was one at the time, so lay off). I swear none of these morons had ever been to a serious film in their entire lives. I expected some catcalls and laughter, but people kept laughing at the most horrific, most tragic, most wrenching parts. I never thought Ricky lying to his father that he was a whore was particularly funny. Guess I was wrong.

All in all, I don't have too much trouble with movie-going. Kinda helps if you wait a week or two after it's first released too. Cuts down on the type of people who go to movies strictly as a social event.

I'd also like to add a little note: bad behavior in movies will get you way more flak in arthouse theaters and films with limited releases. I once saw a guy verbally pulverizing a group of teenagers who had acted up during "Spirited Away." He and his friends had driven *three hours* to get to the theater and purposely went to a late showing to avoid the kiddies.

It's a really, really bad idea to mess with Miyazaki fans.

[Lton]

This is not such a bad experience, but I went to see Matrix Reloaded at the 34th St Loews theater in the middle of the day. I walked in and held the door for a woman who was carrying a baby and remember thinking what is she doing here with an infant. I then followed behind her and entered to see a flood of about 50-60 babies, swarms of strollers being parked to the side. I couldn't even get a ticket because most of the parents were on line and I had about 5 minutes to get to the film. I asked smeone who worked there what was going on and he didn't know. I thought I had died and gone to movie hell. (I later found out that it was some special day when parents could take their infants to see some "Playschool" sponsored film for babies.

Another time I'd gone to see LOTR:TTT and behind me was this girl explaining every character in the movie to the guy she was with. I was prepared to take it, but my friend couldn't and turned around saying: "Please, if you don't know what's going on go watch FOTR and then come back."

[Jack]

Man teenagers suck. Loud, annoying, abnoxious, and never going to the movie to see the movie. Too bad I'm 16 and automatically get filed into "that annoying teenager in front of me" crowd. Whatever, it's cool, I'm very respectful, I usually don't go with large crowds simply because I know what goes on, I keep quiet, never verbalize my thoughts on the film on screen, never get out of line. Don't assume that teenagers can't love cinema too. But I do know what most of you guys and gals are talking about, most teenagers are a pain in the ass to go to movies with.

I remember Signs being pretty bad. Teenagers. Front row. Loud. Fight with nice man who asked them to shut up. Shouting match during the finale of the movie. Children were escorted out.

However, by far, the worst kind of group for me are those 30 something slightly tipsy "movie geeks" who think they own the place. Feet on my seat. Name dropping the director and how much "this movie is a departure from their last movie" Whispering stupid cinema trivial bull**** no one cares about. Comparing notes with each other 15 minutes through the film, deciding if they should like it. This happened at Kill Bill. Wonderful you know your Tarantino guys, really that's great that you got some of the infinte "in-jokes" stocked in it, but don't ****ing declare it for the rest of us. I swear to god...I nearly lost it.

I've of course had similar problems with cell phones, babies, etc. But I think one of the biggest things that irks me is laughing when it's not funny. Mystic River. This 40 something couple of white trash were laughing their asses off. Now, if you've seen Mystic River, you know this is not a funny movie. When Sean Penn is doing his "Is that my daughter!?!" thing, the LAST thing I want is blatant laughter from the row behind me.

I have noticed that audiences vary from theater to theater. Those art house limited release folks, god bless em, will not hesitate to tear you apart if you so much as whisper. The suburban stadium seating places, during the peak hours, or at a afternoon film that is PG-13 or less are a nightmare. I usually try to get out to the first showing whenever possible if I have to go out there. There's also those two screen Mann theaters in my neighborhood that are run by, and overwhelemed by teenagers all the time. That is my last resort. I freaking hate those places.

If I become, you know, rich or something, I'll create a movie theater for those who really love movies. Maybe 5 nice big screens, good sound, good seats, good movies. Metal detectors. Lots of "Shut the **** up" PSAs before the movie. No commercials. Limit of 3 previews. Play GOOD music before the movie starts. Children under 4 not accepted. Someday...

[Jack]

Oh, and mentiroso, I personally have never had a problem with specifically "herds of black kids" (yeah, that doesn't sound racist at all....), it's those damn burbs cell phone daddy's money kids that cause the trouble.

I love the ads they already show like the one with the movie ejector seat or "It's Mr. inconsiderate cell phone man" (It's pronounced ka-ra-te.)

[Rabbit12]

Amen Jack! yes i was gonna say the exact same thing to mentiroso. i hate it when people go slaggin off some people, highlighting their colour on purpose, then saying "i'm not a racist!"
I'm not saying that the kids you met werent behaving badly - If their colour is what u judge them by, then thats sad, judge them by their behaviour instead!

[pixiness]

The Grinch - the friggin infantile 17 year old with the laser pointer that kept picking the grinch's nose or circling where his genitalia should have been. (it lasted about 20 minutes then he was either ejected or got bored with it).

Matrix Revolutions Arriving to the theatre an HOUR ahead of time, finding plenty of good seats that were "taken" - in other words being saved by someone else. Now I don't mind the person that's saving one seat for the person getting snacks or what have you. But the ass wipe saving 9 seats (and the others that were saving 4 or 5) really really got on my nerves. Be forewarned... next time I'm sitting in your SAVED seats - screw you!

Shattered Glass A group of about 7 middle aged women come late to the movie and are blabbing at the top of their lungs until they all got seated.
"MAUREEN... Do you want to sit by the aisle? No MARGIE I'M FINE, DOLL. Did you get something to drink Evelyn?" Grrrrr. I happen to like previews a LOT. I don't appreciate them or the opening credits being talked through. LEARN TO WHISPER!!!!

Signs As we all know - a very quiet movie. 11:30pm show. Some frickin parent brought their 5 year old who slept through the movie and SNORED the whole goddamn time!

well at least he wasnt up and screaming:p

[Citizen Kane]

I haven’t really had any bad experiences at a movie, but there are a few small little things.
Radio-occasionally, this annoying little girl would ask questions about the movie in a loud voice. Her first question was what movie it was.
The Pianist-This wasn’t really annoying, but ironic. Some guys cell phone went off, and the ring was a Jewish ring tone, just as the Nazis were burning a pile of dead Jews on the screen.

[Jill_Valentine]

The thing that I hate the most is that people take their little kids to the movies,
hey if you don't have a babysitter don't go at all!
That's what I do, cause I don't like to annoy people.
Another thing that I despise is cell phones, turn the damn things off!:mad:

[Zombie Killer]

When I saw "Jeepers Creepers", there were a large group of kids with those neon light things you get at the Sixer games in Philly.
Dunno how they got them in there, but it got pretty annoying really quickly.

I knew some moron would read that and post something about whites doing it to so that is why I put that in my post you stupid jackass. Learn to read.


Really don't see how you can fault a person for breast feeding their kid. It shouldn't bother you that much since theres a movie going on on a huge ass screen right in front of you.

Can't really just not sell people tickets even if they have young children with them. It's violating their rights as an american citizen. Plus, it would cause an arguement between the moviegoer and the ticket person which would keep the line from moving.

[KellyM]

hmmm when i seen signs chick right next to me breast fed her bub, didnt bother me in the least, and the bub didnt even make a peep, when i seen the mummy returns a whole ****load of white kids ***ed the whole think hootin and hollerin around, would normally just say "kids" but since mentiroso wants to bring race into it, then these white boys got on my fcukin nerves.

Well let some lady with national geographic tits sit right next to you and see if it isnt destracting. PLUS there is nothing wrong with breastfeeding in public but she didnt have to have that other gross looking boob just sitting out staring at me for half the movie.

[obsessedwithsnl]

I hate going to a movie that's pg-13, but it's kinda of kiddish like school of rock or pirates of the caribbean and there's these stupid preteen girls there that think there really cool because they finally can see a movie alone and they just make fun of the movie or try to imitate what a character's just said

i also hate it when people kick my chair so i just sit in the back row

old people are pretty annoying too, not during the movie just at the end when they stand in the aisles and stay there to read the credits and it takes like 10 minutes to get out of the theater because i'm in the back row because i don't want people to kick my chair

people eating popcorn is so annoying to....and now u can get nachos at the theater even worse

Once somebody pulled the fire alarm and the theatre had to be evacuated.The really bad thing was you couldn't get in without paying again

[lotrfreak]

i love being surprised at movies, so when i went to see shrek, i had heard that there was a big twist, and i was so excited to find out what it was! and like, a minute before we find out about princess fiona's secret, a girl behind me whisper's to her friend 'oh, she's an ogre!!' completely ruined the entire movie for me!!!!

but the worst one would have to be way back when i saw men in black, and it was halfway through, and the film caught alight!
we didnt get to see the rest of the movie, and the bastards didnt refund us!!!!!
had to wait two friggen weeks to see the rest of the damn movie!!!

[Pinesol13]

The same thing happened to my friends when they went to see The Lord of the Rings. there was about 10-15 minutes left in the movie, when the projector got screwed up and the negative caught fire. Someone stood up and yelled "Nooooooo! THIS IS MY LIFE!":D


they were all moved to a different room and watched the rest of the movie. Plus they all got a complementary ticket to their next movie.

[Skinny]

Now that I look back at it... why the hell did me and my friends pay like 7.50 for watching half a movie? We were watching X2 but my friend had to be home at a certain time... but nevertheless, we still paid that amount just to kill half that movie... pisses me off now that I really never got to see the other half of the movie... and that i never got my money's worth

dude, u think thats bad. This little kid came out of the matrix revolutions and told basically everyone who died cause he was so loud.

Reminds me of Homer coming out of Empire Strikes Back and revealing luke's father to the ppl waiting in line.:D

I agree with you 100%
I also hate it when people clap at the end of movies. It's not like the people in the movie can hear you. It's mostly stupid old people that do it though.

[Citizen Kane]

I don’t really care if the people who made the film can’t hear you. The point of the applaud is to show appreciation for a particularly great film, and in that way, it could be said that it is warranted.

[pixiness]

I'm gonna have to go with the breast feeding thing being a bit inconsiderate.

It's not an absolute necessity to bare yourself in public to breast feed a child. Especially if you're going to be in proximity to strangers. That doesn't mean the child has to starve during the film... it just means investing the $14 (roughly the price of two movie tickets) to buy a breast pump and store breast milk in bottles for such occasions where the child may need to be fed in a very public place.

[IamMrDJ]

One time I went to see Dogma with a couple of friends and we got to the theater right before the previews started so we didn't sit at the very top like we usually do. Well after the previews ended a senior citizen couple came into the movie with their pop adn popcorn and sat down. Right after the scene with George Carlin as the Cardinal and him unvailing the new lok of jesus they got up adn started screaming and yelling at us trying to lecture us on catholocism(sp?). Me adn my friends were pissed we started trownig our popcorn at them and so did everyone else in the theater which was about 50% teenagers and young adults. They finally left while still screaming how wrong this movie was.

WHY would you come to a movie like this, if you are so religious? Find out what it is about beforehand.

[PsYkOoOoO]

When i was watching The Lost World in the theatres..there's this scene when the T-rex got into the city...and was running about in the city destroying anything in sight...this lady in front of me was shouting and screaming with her boyfriend..'GO GO!!!!'shouting their heads off...and there was this part when this dude tried to escape from the T-rex's jaws by running into a department store or something..and the T-rex grabbed his leg and ate him...she was screaming,'EAT HIM!!YEA!!!EAT HIM!!!!'i went,'SHUT UP!!!'

[Vader]

I have a good one:

During the midnight showing of Attack of the Clones, I noticed that the guy sitting next to me looked really bad. We were in the theater and there was about 20 minutes until the movie started when all of a sudden the guy pukes on himself, his friends, and me. He then immediately passes out in my lap, before falling to the ground and hitting his head on the concrete floor. After the paramedics arrived and made sure he was ok (he was fine), the theater staff cleaned up the mess, I cleaned myself as best I could, and the midnight showing of AOTC went on as planned. I guess that was pretty annoying.

[Isidien]

Just yesterday i went to see the Matrix, since it was a tuesday afternoon the rest of the cinema was empty and the snack stall outside the cinema was closed, but not even halfway through the film this guy (no older than 17) came in and sat down by himself and watched the film for like five minutes and then went out again. Then a couple of minutes later there was this really loud rattling from just outside the cinema, so i went out to see what it was because it was really bothering me and it was the same guy breaking the bars of the snack stall when he heard me he legged it and i went back to enjoy the film but later on he came back and sat down again and left, he did it like 8 times in total, it was so irritating, i just don't understand what he was doing, he didn't even watch the film!:confused:

[bbf2]

One time the person in front of me starting choking on his popcorn, so he STOOD UP and then his friend did likewise to give him the Heimlich. They were being so inconsiderate, when they stood up I couldn't see in front of me. Then it didn't work and the guy choked to death, so they had to stop the movie and call in an ambulance and everything. I swear, sometimes people need to be more considerate of others.

[JackBauer]

WTF? he died?? my god...thats a horrible way to die!
i mean in cinema....brrr....

man thats sucked. I hate when religius protest movies like that. if you don't like it then don't see it. I'm a christen and I don't find religous offensive although some people take it serious.

[Dracula]

Crazey fanatical chrisions, along with pan & Scan are the bane of my existence

[Dracula]

anyway when I went to see Matchstick Men the retard who was ripping tickets said he had to check my bag. Then one second later before doing so he told me to go ahead, but then chased me into the theater saying he needed to check my bag afterall. As far as I can tell he was checking for smuggled popcorn. Now my logic could be off track, but are we living in a faciast police state where they need to check bags before movies? I hope the theater owners learn that alienating customers will make them loose more money then smuggled popcorn, and if there connsession sales are low, then mabey it's because people dont want to pay $4.75 for a bag of popcorn.

[eclipsedman]

The worst time for me was when I went to see Harry Potter 2 at 1130pm, I show up and no one is there to take my ticket, no one is selling food or drinks so I go into the theatre, no one is in there either, I hear a loud buzzing sound, I sit down and hear this for about 20 minutes before I get up to ask if there is a problem . I find out that I was the only person to buy a ticket so they canceled the show. I also nearly beat this stupid punk teenagers head in when after talkin through half the movie he then answers gis ceel phone and starts to talk ridiculously loud, he picked the wrong movie to do it in, Kill Bill. I always wear stinky socks to the theatre so that if someone is annoying me I can whip my shoes off and stink tham away from me, soda poured onto the seats in front always keep annoying people away too.

There are some people who think whatching a movie is like watching a T.V. from now on I'm bringing a syringe of syanide to the movies to take care of people talking during movies.

[Oxymoron]

The person seated behind me threw up . . . all over me.

[PsYkOoOoO]

hmm..i was drinking a cup of coke...the bottom of the cup broke and.....

[Steve125]

Went to see Elf, and all the way during the opening storybook credits there was a group of little girls behind my friend and myself, and they read every single name that came up. They kept reading and reading and near the end of them, a really long name came up and we were really pissed so we yelled "try and read THAT one!" then they shut up. I decided I'm never going to a children's movie in theatres ever again, unless its a late show.

[overagain]

I went to go see Seabiscuit, and during the opening credits, there was this pictures of Angelina Jolie in her ultra-tight Tomb Raider outfit, well anyways, the guy sitting behind me is talking on his cell phone, and he starts "grunting" and saying "Angelina Jolie" over and over again.... now that was an experience to remember.

[Superchunk]

Star Wars EP 1 opening night showing 12:30am...was still in school at that time, film reel melts during the scene where they all meet up with the fat frogs to make the gameplan to fight...so my friends and I were all dissapointed, bunch of us just went to Dennys for some food and had a 2 hours of sleep before school started.

Pearl Harbor...kid behind me kicking my chair so I just sat up really straight to block his view.

Underworld...Some jerkoff behind to the left of me. So hes directly behind one of my friends. He laughed soo loud during the trailers, first laugh I turn around and everyone turns to look at him. Later on he laughs again and my friend turns around to tell him to stfu. His laugh was soo loud that it actually hurt my ears.

Rundown....stupid people with baby, they were late too...well you know how the story goes....they kept taking the baby outside and back in and so on. So finally I just yelled "Get a baby sitter!"

Sitting next to people who smell really really bad sucks...I just throw my jacket next to me from now on.

Well thats all I can remember right now.

[droidguy1119]

Not a big fan of the kids in children's movies who laugh as loud as possible at every joke, then turn to explain the joke loudly to their parents.

At Finding Nemo, my friends and I went opening day. We sat in the first row of the back section of seats, and I was all the way to the left -- there was a section of railing directly to my right.

Not only did I get a child who felt like doing the above, they also were fond of kicking the railing, sending a ringing into my ear. I grunted as loud as possible, and shifted uncomfortably, and the child's mother restrained the kid, so I was able to enjoy the rest of the movie.

I also recall a time at Ice Age when a child kept asking why Scrat wasn't dead after his various abuses. This was infuriating, but I was subsequently soothed and amused by the kid's parents trying to answer the question.

My friends were annoyed at the Matrix Revolutions when they were talking to their friends, using swear words, and the man in front complained to them that they shouldn't do that, his eight-year old might pick up on it. Well, I say that's not a fair request, seeing as you brought your kid to an R-rated movie where they use worse language a few times.

Basically, my etiquette rules at movies is this -- lights are on, say whatever you want. Lights go off and trailers start? Speak quietly, if you want to. Movie starts? Shut up, and stay that way.

[CoanBread751]

This wasnt a big thing but you have to understand I have wanted to see KILL BILL for 2 ****ing years. I have prepared and ****. So Im setting there during the trailers and these girls behind me keep talking. Im 16 and I was with 5 of my friends. These girls kept yelling things at us. (Whats ur number?) etc. So they shut up for the opening scene then they start talking again during the credits. I stood straight up, turned around and told them if they didnt shut the **** up i would take them outside and beat the **** out of them. They were stunned. Someone went and told the manager and he cam down all pissed and made me promise not to talk to the girls again........ But atleast they shu tthe hell up.:D

[JackBauer]

kill bill is not a movie for little girls :D

[Screwup]

One time this guy was walking into the for halla of the theatre,
and was with his buddies, carrying beoir and cigarettes, when he was told he could not bring those in, and it upset him. Held up the whole line! (yes, In my posts I will use a lot of Irish words,
but bear with me...)

[TheNapster2.0]

harry potter 2-boys and girs club field trip was right befind me.30-40 giggly talkie little boys and girls from like 3rd grade.the funny part was that next to the kids was a 15-17 year old with his date and the kids were asking them relationship questions and stuff.the worst part thogh was that thay started saying the spells to each other and were tying to turn each other into frogs.

[Yag_xp]

a bad situation.....

when u are next to a loud child / baby and there`s no more places in the theater!!!! AAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!

and when u sit next to noobies who had seen 2 or 3 times the movie and they talk about the end..... ??

[sunflower03]

i hate it, when it is like only 20 minutes before the movie is to start, and they still have to clean the movie theatre out, or the previous airing isn't done yet, and you have to wait for them to announce, when you can enter the theatre, plus having to stand in line before you can go in and sit down.

He wasn't arguing with you. He was stating *his* opinion.

Clapping is expected at plays and concerts and most other events where an audience is involved. For a lot of older people, clapping at the end of a movie is habitual. It wasn't too long ago when that was normal behavior.
