What really annoys you when you go to see a movie?

[Cap'n Jack]

It really annoys me when people shine lazer things on the screen and when theres tall people in the row infront oh and when the people around you are talking!

 

[TurboSmoke]

dicks on mobile phones and arses that eat pop corn the whole way through....

also people that eat pop corn and then throw 90% of the super size contents on the floor for the ushers to clean up....i hate it when people do that....

i remember this guy did it once and he got up to leave....i stuck my foot out and the d!ckhead went flying onto his face...

it was very funny...

- Whiney kids that have to go to the John 47 times in the first hour.

- People who arrive 71 minutes late and the insist on sitting on the seat next to you, requiring you to move your legs in order for them to get past.

- People who sit behind you and laugh at unfunny things.

- When you are the only person in the cinema and someone comes and argues with you that you are in their seat.

 

[Bollocks#999]

-when a tall bugger takes the seat right in front of you

-lack of legroom is also a bugbear, I love to stretch out

-getting some wanker behind you stick his knees into the back of your seat, and then saying it wasnt him

 

[pedrodaman]

People that insist on using mobile phones , they allways seem to sit right at my side or a couple of rows in front

There was a incident just last week when i went to see Alien directors cut..
some assholes phone rang about 20mins into the film..when he answered his phone he was talking very loud..when someone asked him to "please can you be considerate of other people" he told them to "**** OFF" ..
Then some random guy gets really pissed off and gets out of his seat and goes up to the guy and takes his phone off him , and throws it towards the screen..
I guess you know what happens next a fight breaks out between these two guys..
As a result the film had to be stopped while the police ejected the two guys..
Pitty the other guy got kicked out he was only doing what he thought was right. even though it was not the best way to handle the situation..

I also hate idiots with really big hair, when you are stuck behind them their hair blocks allmost half the screen so you have to sit higher in your seat knowing you're blocking the persons view behind you and the person behind them and so on ..

Done that before.

I tend to hate those who use mobile phones during the movies. They no longer off them, just switch to silent mode so the damn ring tone goes out, but they still receive calls and answer them.

 

[Talentless]

I rarely see movies in theaters.

I really hate it when someone says "Let's go to this great cinema", and the sound quality is worse than that in my living room.

If i remember correctly from the "what do you listen on" thread, your home theater system would make Steven Spielberg green with envy.

mmmhmmm.

Actually we dont have those kinds of cinemas in Johannesburg. We're all about clean living, paying our taxes and being killed by car-hijackers.

 

[milefile]

I think just about everything has been covered. Although in a theatre is one of the most annoying ocurrances of it, the mobile phone thing is societal problem. Hooray for the martyr who got in a fight and ejected from the theatre. We need more soldiers of decency like that.

 

[Red Eye Racer]

The oly thing I hate about the movies these days is now, not only do I have to watch 10 movie previews,... I also have to now sit thorugh 10 TV commercials before the previews even start.

 

[Jeff I.]

When people feel the need to bring their baby to a movie, and the baby cries the whole movie.

 

[sn00pie]

And there you have it, movie theatres suck.

I like to watch movies at home.

I believe that that was said by Dennis Leary. If it wasn't, the following piece of advice is still useful: anyone who likes that kind of humour should check out Leary's show "No Cure for Cancer". Absolutely hilarious.

I really hate it when I go out to see a movie...

..and it sucks. There goes two hours of my life I'll never get back.

On a related note about the baby crying through a movie. My wife and I went to see .... lessee .. what was it.. -Oh, Signs- when it came out on opening weekend (IMO, the best time to see a good movie)

About 6 minutes into this film, a baby begins to cry. Now, those of you who've seen it may remember that the dialog in it is very low and subdued.. and that even a russling bag of popcorn can overpower the soft speaking actors. Needless to say, the baby completely drowns out the film, and nobody can follow a damn thing that is happening.

Some pointed comments were made and a big fellow finally takes the screaming kid away... only to return after 2 minutes. Guess what? 30 seconds later, the kid starts screaming again.

This happens TWICE. The audience grows more vocal. Finally, the big fella motions for --what I can only presume is the baby's mother. And all three leave.

So now we're 15 minutes into the film and no one knows WTF is going on. Everyone is trying to follow the film, but hey guess what? The mother and baby returns --minus the daddy/boyfriend or whatever-- stands in the aisle and proceeds to bellow at the top of her lungs: F%^K ALL YOU WHITE *****ES

(I should add at this point that I live in the South of the US of A and sometimes, people can't seem to let go of you-know-what)

This, of course, erupts in a torrent of angry replies from the audience, who is trying desperately to get something out of the movie they've paid for and to shut this stupid ***** up. Amazingly, this woman proceeds to walk back to her seat.

The baby cries again. Apparently, he doesn't like the sound of Mel Gibson's voice or something.

At this point, there is yelling, and the unmistakable sound of a fist fight breaking out. Everyone either clusters towards the fight or --as my wife and I did, left the theater and walked straight to the courtesy desk to get our money back.

By the time we leave with our money, no less than 4 cops where walking across the lobby, managers in tow.

It really amazes me how stupid and selfish some people are. And while it violates everything I believe, I can't help but wonder sometimes if there shouldn't be a law against stupid people having children.

We actually went through the trouble of going back later that day to see the flick again.... and I thought it was a mediocre letdown.

I hate it when I turn up to the cinema and the film turns out to be "Matrix Reloaded".

I hate it when LOTR: TTT is ruined by a pair of 12 year olds groping each other three seats away. But I love it when an angry Sheffield man turns round to them and says "I paid £10 to watch this film. If you two want to f(ork) all the way through, f(ork) off to a f(orking) hotel, you t(ents)."

 

[qjasonp]

Little kids kicking the back of your seat.

 

[Rossell]

Star Wars Episode II.

Girl keeps shouting "Whats that?" for the duration of the film.

Die Another Day. Kids talk halfway through the film because "it was raining outside." Managed to get them all kicked out and they blew £5 each

Last but not least Rush Hour 2. Me and my friend were the only people in the cinema apart from popcorn munching children. We sat down in the middle of the cinema for legroom purposes (I'm 6" 5). The kids get their popcorn and use us for target practise. Luckily we were the only ones in the cinema so I managed to have a right go at them

Pricks, bastards and chutney ferrets were all mentioned

 

[Rossell]

Hows about your cousin and her boyfriend doing the same thing through Finding Nemo - RIGHT NEXT TO YOU. Plus the wankers forgot to tell me they were going out because for the whole time I was like "WTF?!"

 

[InsertCoolName]

I saw some guy trying to stick his fingers in the crack of the seat infront of him, to touch a girls butt. IT really ticked me off that the kid was only 12.

I hate it when people yell random words at random times,or make fart sounds during love scenes-wait a sec, thats me!

 

[milefile]

I get pretty pissed when people kick my seat from behind. Same thing on planes. Usually a good long look does the trick but sometimes they pretend to not notice. Then you have to actually say "would you please stop kicking my seat?" And they act surprised and deny doing it.

 

[Solid Lifters]

The last time I went to the movies, two black guys got in a fight. One pulled out a gun and shot the other in the face. This was about ten years ago.

When I did go to the movies, I hated when the movie just started and everybody whould eat their popcorn at the same time. The munching, smacking and that annoying "screach" type noise that sloppy popcorn eaters made just drove me bonkers. If you listen for it, it will drive you bonkers too.

 

[Silverzone]

When parents bring people under 3 to something like Jurassic Park 3. They were screamin' the whole movie. Crying too.

I already mentioned that

GG: I havent seen one of Learys shows but I do have the "No cure for cancer" CD, makes for a great laugh even after the 20th time of listening

 

[Silverzone]

I hate little kids going to movies. They kick the seats, they gotta go to the bathroom constantly, and most importantly, they wont shut up.

What my friends have taught me about going to the movies:

-Get tickets online b/c they won't show up on time, ever.
-Do not rely on them for a ride, same reason as above.
-Sit far away from the couples and try to ignore them.
-Do not order nachos, under any circumstances.
-You cannot claim diplomatic immunity when being kicked out of a theater.
-Make SURE you know WHICH theater you are going to.
-If you really want to enjoy the movie, go ALONE.
