My stupid-people-at-movie-theaters rant!

[The Other]

I just happened to have one happen to me today (Sunday, Nov. 4th, 2001) I have to tell you all and hopefully you might agree or have some stories of your own...

So, today I went to see The Others for the first time (very well done, a 10/10 from me), It was in theaters at my local cinemark theater in my town when it first came out and then it left and now it's back for this one week...I wasn't going to miss it again. So I went with my dad to see it and of course we were like the only ones in the whole theater besides this woman and these 4 kids (not with the woman) who all sat at the top of the rows of seats. I like to sit where I can put my feet on the bars (stadium seating rules) which is fairly close to the front, but far enough back to where I don't have to look up at the screen :D

So after that long introduction I can finally get to my rant...

**Spoilers on The Others, major one too! Don't read any further, until it says End of Spoilers or unless you've seen it ;) **


So, it was right at the part where the 3 servants revealed themselves and Grace was shooting at them when...


**End of Spoilers**


These two very large women came into the theater and one was like "Excuse me, is this Training Day?" :rolleyes: I was like, "Uh, no!" and she was like "Oh, it's not?" and I was like, "Uh, no!" (I wanted to say "No you dumb ass bitch...read the sign or look at the poster in front of the door that has Nicole's face and says 'The Others'," but I didn't), and then they left...Oh My God! Right at that key point in the movie, I totally lost my train of thought on the film and it took me a few moments to get back into it...Another thing after we left the theater we looked and Training Day wasn't even down our side of theater...What idiots, when you give your ticket to the guy he tells you where the theater is at...I guess those bitches don't know how to tell their right from their left. (The Others was down the right side). I mean I can forgive if like The Others was right next to the Training Day theater and you idiotically pass it and go into the wrong one, because you might be talkin and yanno, just pass it. (though I would never do that)

So, anyway, does anyone else have a story like that to share with us? I'd like to hear them.

PS - Sorry I had spoilers, but it was crucial to get my point across and those who've seen the movie know what the fuck I'm talkin' about!

[ak]

That was an hilarious rant, well done! hahah.

I can't say i've ever had that experience, but i have had the misfortune of dealing with some kind of drunk idiot who kept on asking people questions throughout the film, and that film was Schindler's List, i mean, what a film for a drunk guy to be asking questions in!
Out of the thousands of cinemas in the U.K, and the sheer amount of films showing, this guy just had to walk into see this.

There should be a man with a tranquiliser gun at the back of the theatre. End of problem.

I work at a theater, and I have to deal with people like this all day long. People have three opportunities to get to the right movie (the signs over each side of the lobby, the guy tearing tickets, and the signs over individual theaters). Somehow, people overlook all three of these things and still go into the wrong movie. It might just be a coincidence, but most of them are senior citizens who look like they haven't been to the movies since Ronald Reagan was known for his acting.

Here is a story that's kind of related. A co-worker and I were sweeping near the entrance to From Hell when a woman came up and asked if we thought it (From Hell) was any good. We say it was. She says, "Well I heard it was funny. that's the only reason I'm seeing it. Will I enjoy it." We just kind of smiled and nodded and she walked into the theater. Where would someone get the idea that a movie called From Hell could ever be funny...It's a twisted world.

The worst, though, are the milkmaids. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Elektra]

When I first saw The Others, everyone was talking during the first ten minutes of it! You couldn't even hear a fucking word that was being said! http://www.joblo.com/ubb/mad.gif Me and my friends were practically screaming at everyone to shut up and they finally did, but I didn't understand half the movie because I missed so much at the beginning.

[Lazycouch]

Every time I go to the movies, there's some 2 year old screaming her/his fucking head off. And there's these group of teenagers who aren't even there to see the movie. They just hang out, talk, laugh at scenes that aren't even supposed to be funny, and walk in and out of the theatre room every 10 minutes. I think all these groups should be dragged out on the streets and given the slowest, most painful deaths imaginable in front of SMART people. Good God, I think its safe to say 99.99% of all teenagers that go to movies don't even go there to WATCH movies.

[Jimmy Da Gent]

I hate those teen girls who just talk through the whole film saying('oh my god Freddy Prinze JR. I sooooo cute!) and giggling....and giggling...AND FUCKING GIGGLING.

All they do is talk about their lives and how cute some of those stupid fucking teen actors are....

http://www.joblo.com/ubb/mad.gif

[Weapon X]

I was catching Tomb Raider for the second time (yeah, I liked it enough to see it twice...sue me already!!), and about two-thirds through it, this family comes in and sits right behind me...including two little kids who WOULD NOT SHUT UP AND SIT STILL!!!

Okay, first off, if you're not gonna control your kids, you're better off just leaving 'em at home. Second, if you're going to show up for a movie that late, WHAT THE F*CK IS THE POINT OF EVEN GOING!?! You're better off just coming back for the next available show! Am I right?

[Jimmy Da Gent]

Your fucking right!

http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

[James Logan]

This might sound as a classic, but...

Ever had to sit down just in front of the most annoying kid in the universe? You know, the kind that'll kick in you chair for two hours, pour popcorn back your neck and so on. Well, that happened to me twice, and god is that fucking painful.

And I agree with Jimmy Da Gent. Next time I hear girls in the theater giggling next to me on how beautiful Brad Pitt's teeth are, I'm gonna make them spit their own fucking teeth. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/mad.gif

[bskutle]

I went to see "Phantoms" when it came out. Hardly anyone in the theater, but these two girls just walked in and carried on a conversation throughout the entire movie. If the movie didn't suck, I would have been most upset.

Also, in "Lake Placid" this moron carried on a cell phone conversation. Someone finally got up and got the dumbass kicked out.

[ak]

I'm telling you, if any teenage kids start to mess around during The Lord of the Rings, i shall stick a sledge hammer in their shit for brains.

[Lazycouch]

I swear, when I went to go see Pearl Harbor this fat lady and her annoying 4 year-old daughter came in and sat beside her. During the WHOLE movie, the daughter would not shutup, the mother would not do a damn thing to shut her up, the mother kept asking me questions (this guy dies right?.... she falls in love with him right?..... grrrrr WATCH THE FUCKING MOVIE AND FIND OUT!!!), and to top it all off, during the best part of the movie, the 40-minute bombing sequence, she screamed her head off every time there was a big explosion or something. I would have been even more pissed if that was actually a good movie.

It was all I could do to not tell her to shut her fucking mouth and her kid up as well.


And when I went to see Mummy Returns (I liked it, sue me), there was this couple sitting beside me that kept feeling and playing with each other, and the girl would not stop giggling. I was getting really close to telling them to shut the fuck up, but I'd figure her boyfriend would just come back with a smartass comment and act tough and all.

[dragon]

I have a real problem with a lot of teenagers who go to movies and do nothing but cuss. Every word out of their mouth concerning the movie is F*ck this and F*ck that...give it a rest already.

[SteveSzyk]

In the middle of The Others a lady who worked there came in and said: "This theatre is for The Others and not American Pie 2, so if you are in the wrong theatre please leave now." BITCH! http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif

well we were all watching a film and some dumbass droped his popcorn on the floor at the start of the movie and proceded to moan like a little girl, then the guy next to me started shouting 'MONKEYS!' when the pota trailer came on and the guy on the other side of me put his feet on the back of some young punks chair who looked quite violent .... not nameing names but AK, Vdude and chupacabras are bastards to go to the cinema with

[Irene Manor]

I went to see Grumpy Old Men with my now wife and another couple. This elderly set of women sat right next to us in an empty theater.

The only 2 other people in the theater besides me and my group sat RIGHT NEXT TO US.

Now, I wouldn't have minded as much. However, I was really pissy about it, and Adam Sandler's first CD had just come out. So in and out through the movie I would look over at the old women and say things like, "I BET HE HAS HAIRY BALLS!"

The wouldn't even look at me anymore by the end of the movie. They probably tell this story too, but it is about how they ended up sitting next to a poor retarded boy.

It was a hoot none-the-less, but I wouldn't do that nowadays because I respect the elders a lot more.

[Annie Hall]

When I went to see Shrek when it was in the theaters, there was a woman behind me saying INCREDIBLY loudly

"What the fuck? This is supposed to be a FUCKIN KIDS MOVIE! What's with all this damn language? If the humor wasn't so crappy maybe it'd be worth it, but fuck this! This is stupid crap."

Ironic, ain't it? :p

[electriclite]

This happens too often to me that its just painful.


Recently I had six year olds kicking the back of my chair while I was watching Harry Potter, a year or two back I had some other little kid doing the same while I was watching The Mummy Returns (Don't ask). The worst thing about this is that you can't turn around and tell them to "knock the fuck off!" because then you'll have their parents to contend with and that'll just drag your evening down the toilet.

Also during Road to Perdition I ahd this group of morons carrying on a very loud, stupid converstion in the back of the theatre. No one said anything until I had finally had it with them and just cursed them out to shut up, which is when everyone else spoke up. One of the guys even had the nerve to say "Hey who the hell told me to shut up?" I swear I was an inch away from standing up and saying "Me asshole! Now what're you gonna do about it?"


Then during Signs some retarded monkey and his cackling girlfriend decided that during every silent moment in the film they would yell "ASZUCAR!". Once again no one said a thing, so when I finally got frustrated I had to tell the guy off.

After that evening I got inspired to write this little rant/manifesto about idiots in theatres:

"I believe that mandatory castration should be implemented on any person who decides that a moment of silence during a movie is a carte blanc to inflict and advertise their tainted genes on the rest of us genetic normals by yelling out loud stupid phrases in the middle of the movie. It's as if they very idea of being left alone in their mind without any distractions would cause their entire cranium to explode from the knowledge that there wasn't anything in there to begin with! The next person to start yelling out anything, ANYTHING!, during a movie, I'm taking out my box cutter, getting up from my chair and filtering out the gene pool. And that goes for you people who still haven't learned to shut off your cell phone in a theater. You have been warned!"

I couldn't agree more with you guys. I'm so fucking sick of these rude, inconsiderate, morons. It's gotten so bad that I rarely ever go to the theater anymore; once a year or so at most.

If it isn't stupid fuckin' people who won't shut the hell up, then it's someone's cell phone, or somebody's goddamn kid; that last one is painfully exacerbated when the kid has been brought to a fuckin' R-rated movie.

The atmosphere found in your average theater today is just pathetic.

This course of action sounds wise. There are far too many idiots breeding today, anyway. Whatever happened to natural selection?

I blame health care, charity, bike helmets and over protective parents.

I hate it when the audience laughs at some stupid shitty scene in a movie trailer, and I'm dead silent. Sure, they have a right to laugh, but what is there to laugh about ?

I think we both have a fine appreciation of George Carlin :).

The last film I saw in theaters was Spider-man, and there were three teenagers sitting behind me who not shut up; not for a second. There was no respite from their ''scintillating'', facile, folderol. It was so incredibly annoying, it almost ruined the damn movie for me.

[BorderEevilIII]

I just recently saw "Friday After Next" on opening day...well it drew a crowd of course!......
When the movie was on some idiot in the row behind me had his CELL PHONE ON!!! And then to add on HE ANSWERED IT & WAS TALKING ON THE PHONE LIKE HE WAS AT HOME KICKING BACK.....HOW FUCKING RUDE!!!! Then the FRICKIN Phone Rang again & HE DID THE SAME DAMN THING! :mad: Then......I swore I could smell someone smoking a joint in the theatre cause I could smell it..:confused: It doesnt bother me but in the state of California, Smoking of any kind in a business building establishment is against the law! HELLO!!!

[blankpage]

I hate it when stuff like that happens. Well I have a few stories to share....

When I went to go see a late showing of The Perfect Storm for bitch and her son come in. Right in the middle of the flick. They started talking to eachother and then she stand up and says, " Is this X-Men"? See that night they had a Midnight Showing of X-Men. I said " Ummm no, I think X-Men's next door." Then she started babbling on about something. And the lefy with her son. Right during the fucking movie, I couldn't believe it.

Then when I went to go see Simone some girl had her cell phone. Now the theater specifically ask not to have your god damn cell phone on. When the movie began, it rings. So she started talking to her gilfriend or whatever. It was sooooo fucking annoying. And thing was, she was sitting next to me.

[Reigh Kaufman]

I have been thrown out/asked to leave a cinema seven times due to my intolerance of people behaving like idiots. The worst was during Cats and Dogs. I took my nephew, Reigh (where I got my name from) and some pesky little bastards were throwing sweets. At first I ignored them, happy to gve them the famous Kaufman steely-glare, but eventually one of the sweets went astray and hit my nephew -- fuck them, I thought. I handed my nephew over to my then girlfriend and stormed up to the back row to unleash a string of obscenities (in a very low whisper, to avoid scaring any children) but a disabled woman near the exit took umbrage and started yelling at all of us. I apologised to her but the house lights went up anyway and we were all asked to leave...The little shits scarpered befor I could finish my rant.

Virtually the same thing happened during The Blair Witch Project but, to my shame, I admit to kicking the back of the seats quite stroppily (after I had politely asked at least eight times) only for the kid in the chair to bounce out of his chair and onto the aisle. They had all been drinking but it was no excuse. I was asked to leave.

Now, I know this makes me sound like some kind of thug -- I'm not. But I treat EVERYONE with the same respect I would wish to recieve and every occassion I did my utmost to preserve the peace i.e informing staff etc. However when it comes to ignorance, I don't suffer it...Shouldn't have to.

I did the exact opposite.

In not another teen movie, firstly when the girl said **SPOILER** the dump on chest thing ***END**** i was laughing for ages.

And secondly, also at not another teen movie, when ***SPOILER**** that guy starts clapping and no one else goes with him ***END SPOILER*** i seriously was laughing for thenext 5 minutes.

[batfreak]

Some guy was talking too loudly while I was trying to watch Spider-Man. So I kicked him in the back of the head.

LMFAO:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[freakandgeek]

god, i agree with almost every person on here. i went to see signs. now, thats a movie i consider a quiet, think movie, you know, and there were these young boyd behind us, and they were like "isn't that the guy from the gladiator'? man, whats his name" and blah blah....i turneda round and was like "would you shut the f**k up. luckily they did, but it still pissed me off..

also, the second time i saw harry potter and the chamber of secrets, ym friend and i were waiting in the line to go into the theatre, and there were a bunch of teenage boys standing almost behind us. they were so annoying. i knew they were going to be trouble. so, when we went into the theatre, luckily that group of boys went into the very front, and ym friend and i sat in the back. but they were so annoying through the whole movie. when it was quiet, they would make some stupid farting noise or something, adn they would talk and talk....they wer elike 15 rows infront of us and we could hear them. ERG.......sometimes i just hate teenagers.....in a comedy, its cool...whatever....but seriously....its so lame to pay money for a movie and just RUIN IT for everyone else.....when i have kids man, they better never act like that!!!

also, i went to see knockaround guys, and there were soooo many kids there. thats a really big pet peeve of mine. if you have a three year old kid, don't bring him or her to a movie that isn't for kids. anyways....there was a kid three seats next to me,a nd he kept standing up and shuffling his feet on the ground. man, he was bored. SO PARENTS, HELLO, TAKE HIM OUT OF THE THEATRE! and i have seen parents bring toddlers to rated r movies....um, hello!!!? its like, if you can't find a babysitter, DON'T GO TO THE MOVIES....there are such things as videos....atleast you don't ruin the time for other people....ERG....common sense people!!!!!!

[Madeline]

Well when I went to see The Ring a while ago I realized how annoying packed theatres can be. Most of the people were okay and just excited about the movie but then about a minute before it started this group of non-English speaking people came round and sat in front of us. And from the get go they didn't stop talking. Not just talking but shouting! LIKE THIS! And laughing and talking on their individual, color coordinated cell phones! When the lights went out and the movie started I expected them to stop talking like all sane people usually do but no! They just continued talking and lowered their voice by about 1/8. Ugh.
And at every new scene they would keep talking and talking and I don't think they knew theatre manners or any manners for that matter. Then when they got a little quiet they decided to play musical chairs or something and kept switching their seats around! And going out and coming back about 5 times!
We were only saved because a tough looking guy that was sitting in front of them suddenly whisked around and grabbed the back of his chair like a bear and attacked them! Well not really but he was MAD and told them off very threateningly. Those people didn't talk at all afterwards. Ha ha. :o

[RavenBlade]

Well, I do wholeheartedly agree with all of you.

I don't like paying $9 for a movie, only to have
it ruined by obnoxious talking.

I seriously f'ing hate that.

During Halloween:H20, my second viewing,
there were these kids, with those stupid
as all hell red laser pointer pens, and they
flashed the friggen screen, one to many times.
I'm not the one that usually gets up and starts
acting like a maniac, but I told them like it is.
Did they listen to me???? hell no, they did it
a few more times, they stopped, but their
talking was continous. GRRRRRRRR.

Right before Bride of Chucky even started,
there were three teens, all male, looking buff,
well, I don't like it when people sit behind me
in theaters, it's my pet peeve, it's my alone time,
and one of them decided to break the walls down
that I built up(figuratively speaking) by elbowing me
in the back of the head, as they moved to their seats.
I would of said something, but at that time,
I didn't feel like being in a fight, as I hate confrontations.
And three against one, is not a fair fight.
Did they apologize, NO. GRRRRRR.
When John Ritters name appeared on the screen,
what did they YELL, RITTER, JOHN RITTER.
I hate that with a passion.

Lastly, When I went to see Die Another Day,
there were a couple behind me,
and they constantly yapped, like
lap dogs. When James Bond
was about to respond to something,
what the hell did my ears hear?
But them say what the line was.
How so F'ING rude, last I checked
they were not James Bond.
Then when Maddona made her appearance,
there they were yapping like boffos again.
OOH, Look, it's Maddona.

This is just sickening.

Cell Phones, the reciever of the call,
talking loudly, so those trying to watch
a movie in peace, can enjoy the convorsation.
Sorry dude, I ain't interested.

That's also why it's so terribly rare
that I walk into a movie theater.
Why the hell do you go to a theater?
That's right, to watch a movie, and not
hear a fricken peep from the locals.

End of Rant......But there will be more,
if I run into more chuckle heads.

UGHHHHH.

Raven

[BorderEevilIII]

I do agree that when I come to see a movie I wanna focus on whats going on the screen and NOT the stupidness that surrounds me....
As for the laserpointers, I do find them ANNOYING! I do remember when I saw "She's All That" and saw them appearing on the screen I YELLED OUT LOUD, NO JOKE! And the tone of my voice scared the living jeebs out of whoever the asshole was doing that. If it was before the movie or ending credits I could care less but NOT DURING THE MOVIE!

[boggie]

If you bring a kid to the theatre, no matter if you don't know the fucker (although you could get in trouble for bringing strange kids to the cinema) you should keep the little fuck in line. When I went to see the Chamber of Secrets, the little twat behind me kept kicking my chair, throwing popcorn on me and making noise. And I knew, I just KNEW that if I turned around to him his mother would be all "who do you think you are?" (the guy your kid is pissing off) or "I am fully able to raise my own child" (well go do it somewhere else then).

When I saw the Haunting the twelve year old bitch in front of me screamed the whole way through, even though I was close enough to her to see that she wasn't scared, just an attention seeking bitch.

[vastlynne]

Most people would agree with me when I say there is always somebody who will LAUGH obnoxiously at the most inappropriate scenes! And it really stands out because they would be the ones who have the loudest vocals and the weirdest laugh ever! It's just sickening to hear somebody laugh at an intense scene or a very quiet scene and they totally ruin the whole experience for you. I could not stop shaking my head in disbelief.

Some of you are quite brave to stand up for yourself and speak your mind to these fuckheads. I would have just told an usher to throw the fuckers out. :D

[Fisting Ackbar]

I saw a re-release of THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI not too long ago and some guy brought his 6 year old son in. Of course the kid was complaining throughout the movie that it was boring and that he wanted to leave, but the old man didn't know enough to actually do that.

WHO THE FUCK BRINGS A KID TO AN EIGHTY YEAR OLD SILENT FILM

[BorderEevilIII]

I saw "Die Another Day" yesterday & if its just me I always pick a seat that has no rows behind me meaning I DONT LIKE MY CHAIR BEING MOVED PERIOD. I have nothing against kids, toddlers, etc as long as they be quiet or keep the minimal of what kids usually do down. Well this guy brought his daughter a toddler to DAD? Usually if is like Harry Potter but to a Bond flick? Ok whatever....And from 2 rows behind me toddlers are being toddlers and I could hear her from behind. I do have patience to a certain extent in tolerating some noise around me during a movie. Then the guy got up excusing himself and soon after they sat right behind me....lol! Now the toddlers noise making is right at my ear! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Im like 1..............2...............3..........4....... .....
Soon after I couldnt take it and mooooooooved AWAY to the other end of the row I was in......From then on I was able to enjoy the rest of the movie....:D

[bob]

Wow, you guys have had it pretty rough. Nothing like that has ever happened to me.

Sure, I've told people to be quiet before, but they were just like "oh, sorry", and that was that.

About the teenagers who go in for no reason and then wander: I couldn't agree more, even though I am a teenager and have been guilty of doing that. It's wrong, and I beg forgiveness.

[Kastman]

here is a story, while at a movie marathon, hen the first movie was on, someones phone rang.

It rang a couple of times, but the funny thing was when this group of guys out the front just scream out "SHUT THE FUCK UP"

Meh, i guess you had to be there.

[The1TrueFrog]

How about sitting a few seats behind someone masturbating in the theater? That wasn't very pleasant!!

More recently, I went to a theater with my friend and her baby. The baby was sound asleep and was in a baby carriage on the floor, the way it's supposed to be. Two people at least 3 times during the movie had to get up for something, and rather than go around the other direction and just dodge feet & such, they keep going by me (maybe 2 seats less) for me to have to keep picking the baby carriage up and down, up and down, till the baby finally woke up from all the movement, and we had to leave to keep from annoying everyone. That really pissed me off bad.

[Tommy Doyle]

Three (hopefully quick) examples of what I hate the most.

When I went to see Charlie's Angel's with my friend, seven teenagish kids came into the theatre just as the movie was starting and made so much noise getting settled, which pissed me off to begin with. If you can't get in in time to see the movie start, be quiet. Of course they sat in the row right behind us (not like there was a trillion other seats in the theatre - my biggest annoyance at the theatre. When there are thousands of seats, and someone sit right in front of or behind you). Anyway, the plane scene is on, and they've been yapping since they sat down, and one of the girls says something like "Oh my god! When I was on a plane one time, they offered me alcohol, and I'm like, not even 18 yet!" She went quiet for three seconds. Then she leaned up in her seat to talk to her friend four seats down and said very loudly "You want to hear something gross??" I turned around and said "No actually, I don't. I would like to hear the movie thank-you." The tough guy in the group responds with "What the fuck is his problem?" I again turn around and this time say "Are you a moron? My problem is you guys won't shut the fuck up!"

The Ring. Again, teenagers coming into the theatre just when the movie's starting and they yap the entire way in the theatre. The movie starts, and they keep yapping, very loudly. They sat four rows in front of us (it's one of those times when you just know they're there to be loud) They keep talking. Five minutes into the movie and they're discussing some school thing. My boyfriend got pissed (and just before I was about to) yelled out "Are you going to shut the fuck up and watch the movie?????" It was pure bliss!

Last... Legally Blonde. Late night showing. Five people in the theatre (three being me and my two friends), three people, two girls and a guy walk in late to the movie, and sit DIRECTLY behind me and my friends. The guy they were with was like 6'5" and 300 pounds, so of course I'm not going to freak out. The stupid bitch behind me REPEATED EVERYTHING THE MOVIE SAID!!!! At the end ******SPOILER****** when Reese Witherspoon wins the case, the bitch actually blurts out.... "OH MY GOD!! SHE JUST WON THE CASE!!! THAT'S SO HAPPY!!!!" *****END SPOILER***** I just about fucking flipped. My friends of course didn't want to move because they were afraid the guy would get pissed at us.


So I guess all in all my biggest pet peeves:

Coming in late to the movie
Coming in late to the movie and making noise as you enter
Sitting extremely close when there are a million other seats around
Teenagers who are just there to annoy and not watch the movie!!!!


Sorry it was so wordy!

[thedarklamb]

I was bored, it was a sweet saturday in downtown San Francisco, so I went to the ghetto sinema where u can see movies all day for like $4.00. Scream was playing so I checked it out.

I was really into the movie and in the middle of it, everything bad you could image happened. The theatre started smelling like pot and crack, you could see the random puffs swirling in the air. This guy & girl behind me starts guessing who the killer is and whos gonna die next, they wouldn't shut-up. Then this pimp and his crack-whore start arguing in the back and I turn around just in time to see him slap the living crap out of her. I slumped down into my seat, security showed them out the door, the 2 people behind me shut their mouths and by the time everything cooled down it was almost the end of the movie. All-in-all it was an experience I'll NEVER forget.

Hey, The1TrueFrog, tell us more about this masturbation. Was it a girl or a guy and what was the film?

So I guess all in all my biggest pet peeves:

Coming in late to the movie
Coming in late to the movie and making noise as you enter
Sitting extremely close when there are a million other seats around
Teenagers who are just there to annoy and not watch the movie!!!!


i definately have to agree with all of those things. i mean, seriously, some people have no common decentsy (sp??)....and i hate it when kids are loud just to be cool infront of their friends. do they really know how lame they sound? man....erg.....

HELL YEAH!! that's the one...I never had any probs of people being hostile towards me, it was always other people. Everytime I went in there to see a movie somebbody was videotaping the movie in the back...I don't know how I get away from these situation without being killed.
A friend and I short-cut thru this street in the Tenderlion on accident to pick up some punk tickets for NoMeansNo and I almost got sliced on the head from a broken beer bottle someone threw out of their Apt. We got in between a ghetto brawl. Anyway I love San Francisco the good & bad the yuppy & punk. peace

I was at a movie with my family, and this guy -- someone who I actually recognized, came in and sat directly in front of me. There weren't many people in the theater, but then the guy lights up a cigar and starts laughing really obnoxiously at every little thing that happens.

Wait a minute....



Anyway - The thing that annoys me the most is people showing up late, and needing to look for a seat. Hey Jerk, I showed up early to get a good seat. Learn from a master.

Smoking pot in a theater doesn't bother me, because the smokers usually keep quiet to avoid prosecution.

And while theater noise can make a movie bad, some movies I think it makes better - Scream 2 worked great in our local ghetto theater.

i love it when i see a scary movie or a funny movie and there are a lot of people there to laugh and jump and scream...but when they just talk out of context and just annoy me, thats when, well, i get annoyed. but you know what i mean?

i was agreeing by the way!:D

i am sure i have talked about this in other posts, but it DEFINATELY fits under this category as well....

one time my mom and i went to see 15 minutes (great movie) and we sat on the side in those seats that have no seats infront of them (for the wheelchairs) becuase i hate it when people who are tall sit infront of me. anyways....so, the mvoie starts and its kinda full, and these three people (two men and a lady) who are like maybe my mom's age, sit behind us. well, they started to kick our chairs and stuff, and thats my mom's biggest pet peeve, so we moved into the seats next to the wheelchair space. anyways, thos ethree people they moved into the seats we were in! stupid jerks! they were trying to annoy us because they wanted to sit in our chairs.....ahhhhh! man, if i wasn't with my mom, iw ould have said something.....JERKS...i really hate rude people sometimes!!! people like that make going to the movies (one of my favorite past times) really unenjoyable!:mad:

Last night I saw the new Harry Potter movie and half way through a baby started crying. Not a small kid, a baby. Some toss pot brought a baby to the cinema! Also a kid next to me opened a pack of crisps that smelt of moldy feet (I don't no what the hell they were) and made so much noise it was unbareable.
