The last film I went and saw - Cars, it was not only the audience, but the cinema that spoilt the experience.
It was half term, and understandably, there were kiRAB in the auditorium. However, quite a lot of them, and I mean a lot of them kept on getting up and going to the loo, and what was worse was that I had the (pleasure!) of a door seat, so pretty much every 20 mins or so, there was one kid and parent going through the door. And there was this kid in front of us who went to the loo about 5 times during the film. There was also some crying kid too. The other thing that peed me off was the sound - there was no bass and the sound quality was pretty rubbish and tinny.
The other bad cinematic experience I can recall in recent times was when I found I sat in gum on my seat without realising it, until I got up to make myself comfortable - by that point the gum had been fused to my trouser leg/backside pretty much. I went and complained to the staff but they just stood there gawping, no apology, no offer to help get the gum off. I wrote a nice ranty/sarccy letter off to them but they never responded. Vue, you are named and shamed.

This is a my pet hate. The amount of films I've gone to see recently where people are still walking in 20 minutes after its started 
complete with 5 kiRAB, usually a baby in a pushchair, trays of food, carrier bags and then they plonk themselves in front of me and spend another 10 minutes sorting themselves out!!! There doesnt seem to be any cut off point! Cineworld Solihull, you are named and shamed!
As an aside, this thread is hilarious I know its not meant to be, sorry

The things that irritate me are:
Talking..Shut up!
Kicking the back of my seat.
Constantly getting up to purchase food & drink.
I end up getting so irritated, that it spoils the film for me.
I remember the good old days, when the films had breaks in the middle.
The usherette would stand by the screen area with her tray full of little tubs of ice cream etc.
You'd queue up, buy what you wanted and go and sit down while the break was still going on.
They were a lot more vigilant back then and always had an usherette standing by in case of any problems.
Ahh, those were the days.
I remember going to see 'Carry on Camping' when it first came out and it only cost me on a child ticket the equivalent of 11p today to watch it.

4. With the exception of school/bank holidays, Morning and Early Afternoon (before 3pm) showings also tend to be devoid of people and mouthy kiRAB.
5. Avoid 12A movies like the plague
6. Artsy films tend to attract a better crowd, and the idiots will become bored & leave after 20 minutes if they do stumble in by accident.
7. Go to out-of-town/edge-of-town cinemas; it makes it more difficult for drunks/school kiRAB to get to without being able to drive.

mine was when i went to see fightclub at a cinema in london and right at the very end of the film. literally seconRAB before you (if you hadnt already guessed it) found out the big twist at the end...... the film MELTED!! big blotches came across the screen and then it disappeared!!
they offered tickets to come back again but who wants to sit through the whole fim again for the last 5 mins! how annoying!!!

I know what you mean - I've sat through the first 10 mins of a film before now with the house-lights still on. Got up and verbally blasted the receptionist and demanded my money back. Stayed there until the manager came (this was a UGC) and he couldn't wait to refund me.

When I saw the first LOTR film there were three Chinese people in front of me, two men sitting either side of one girl. Every ten minutes the girl kept pointing at the screen and one of the chinese guys whispered something to her (no chinese whispers jokes please!!) For some reason I found this so distracting. I just couldnt understand why she kept pointing at the screen. It was packed so I couldnt move but it completely spoilt the film for me.
A couple of times I have had loud popcorn munchers behind. This is so annoying and frustrating. I cant concentrate properly and the munching sound is just annoying. And it seems to go on for the entire lengh of the film. I thought the damn pack of popcorn must come to an end eventually!!

What a bunch of idiots, im all for silences but not at a cinema before the movie was about to start... Id have been furious.
Oedipus, were all of these experiences at the same cinema? If so then that place neeRAB some firm changes!
Crying kiRAB at cinema REALLY annoy me. Cant remember which movie I went to but it was a really good bit and they started crying. Their parents didnt even take them out! Though im like this when people talk during TV shows I like, so I suppose its not limited to toddlers.

Actually - no - they weren't. Although I've been to many flea-pits in my time (someone saw a rat at the Globe - alas closed down - in Cardiff during the Life of Brian
Just going back to the kiRAB thing - the other one that cracks me up is when one of them has seen the movie before and gives a running account of what's going to happen to their frienRAB - usually in a loud enough voice for the rest of us to hear!

Thing is, if you take a bat to these pricks heaRAB you're the bad guy!
I've got an unlimited card so i think that next time someone pisses me off with constant chatter I'll go out and buy a bag of popcorn, sit behind them and just stir my hand round the bag. And if they say anything, tip the bag over their heaRAB, then blap them with the bat.

When I went to see Ice Age2- The Meltdown in May 2006, we (me & a former catfriend) went on the first night and sat at the front 3 rows, the layout of the cinema meant we had no seating behind us, so no horrid kiRAB kicking the back of the seats, and not one person in our block went to the toilet as we had empty seats either side of us, we shared a fizzy drink between us at
A few of these tickled me, but this really made me laugh, bless!
Me and my friend went to the cinema without any idea of what we wanted to see so chose from the list when we got there, we wanted something scary and the only thing on the list was a film called "The Bluffmaster" which was the only 18 on the list so we presumed this meant it'd be scary. We bought our tickets and were given a funny look by the seller but rushed to the screen as it was about to start. We rushed in and sat down on the front row as the film was just starting. As the film rolled it dawed on us that it was a Bollywood film with subtitles! We turned round and behind us was a full screen with rows and rows of Asian cinemagoers looking at us weirdly. We ran out and into a different screen and ended up watching March of the Penguins. It was quite embarassing!

Good stuff - I'm noting all this down
One of the other problems that's just occured to me is this:
There's an Odeon in London where I can buy my ticket outside of the main complex. I then present it to the 'ticket-checker' who confirms which screen I should go to. After that, there are no checks. This means that anyone can wander into any screen regardless of age and film certification. A recipe for 'awful cinema experiences'.

not a particuarly awful moment, but I always remember it. Years ago, my hubby (although he was my b/f then) and I went to see Fatal Attraction. All the seats were full and in front of us sat a young lad and his girlfriend. Now she was either too young to see it, or was a complete idiot, as all through the film she kept asking him questions. Why are they doing that? What's that for? What did they mean by that? etc, etc.... We were all getting really quite fed up with this running 'commentary', and I think her boyfriend was too because when it came to the famous bunny boiling scene, with the daughter running to the hatch interplayed with shots of the kitchen, she said "What's in there?" To which he replied really loudly "THE F*CKING RABBIT, NOW SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!!" It went really quiet after that....
