Awful cinema experiences (non-film related)

Not necessarily odd. You can still hear the soundtrack if you are blind, and certain London cinemas even offer Audio Description on some film screenings.
 
Another one: When I went to see Xmen, the kiRAB behind us wouldn't shut up until my mate turned round to their parents (who were next to them and doing nothing) and threatened to hit one of the kiRAB if they didn't shut them up.
 
Afternoon performance of Superman Returns at Cineworld, Eastbourne: empty auditorium, perhaps 600 empty seats, old lady walks in and sits right next to me. Don't want to make it obvious and move away, so sit there for 45 minutes and get up muttering about needing a wee; walk through the other door and sat at the other side of the cinema. Why does it always happen to me..?
 
I remember going to see Shrek 2 with two frienRAB and sitting in the middle of the back row with a group of other teens sitting on our other side. It was only near the end of the film that I realised one of my frienRAB was arguing with one of the other group because they'd been throwing Skittles at us. Then when we left the cinema they followed us and carried on throwing sweets. Grr.
 
i cant remember the film but it was only the begining of the year some african guy was translating to his g/f, at the start im saying to my g/f i hope this isnt going on all the way and then she says to me dont start. i do the ssshhhh bit but then i start pissing other poeple off.

Heres my rules for going to the cinema.
1. Wait for the film to have been out for at least a week before going to see it.
2. Always sit 2 rows behind someone else, then no one will sit infront of you as they dont want anyone sitting infront of them.
3. Go to the late showing 9pm + so there will be less likely to have some mouthy kid there tring to inpress this spoty mates.

Anyone want to add to this please do
 
One time, I had the misfortune of having people behind me who had already seen the film and wanted to see it again so talked throughout the entire film. I managed to shut them up when I said "look if I wanted a running commentary, I would have bought the DVD"
 
How about people getting up the second the first credit appears as if a bomb will go off if you dont get out in two minutes!! Then there is a bit after the first batch of credits and they all freeze in the aisles!! Quite funny really as some have already left and are unaware they missed a bit. But if the people in your row are like this they make you get up and you feel forced to leave. Surely by now people realise it is worth waiting a minute or so as more and more films have bits tagged on the end or into the credits. But no, they still dash out as if their lives depended on it!!
 
Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean and this lad with tourettes and a few of his mates were sat in front of me and my frienRAB. Needless to say, he kept WANKing and SHITting throughout the film. Much to the delight of his frienRAB, who kept giggling and looking behind at us. :rolleyes:
 
When I went to see Hook a looong time ago this fat family in front seemed to take a three course meal in with them. all throughout the film they were munching on crisps, sweets and rustling bags. They even had a some chicken drumsticks.
 
I waited for a couple of weeks before I went to see the new Pirates film with my partner. So there would be plenty of free seats at the cinema.
We went to the flash Everyman cinema in Hampstead, the tickets where
 
bloody hell! the ritzy seems like a really pretencious place, with their bar and all.
Lucky i didnt get caught eating my own food there when i went to watch letters from iwo jima. costs a bomb to get in there too, 6 quid with a student card! And the ticket checker is like a 20 stone bouncer!
 
Years ago I went to see The French Lieutenant's Woman in a small independent theatre in Melbourne. There was only myself and maybe three other people watching the film. About a third of the way through a man came into the theatre and sat himself down next to me, despite there being many empty seats. After about 5 to 10 minutes he proceeded to masturbate. I was so dumbfounded it took me a few seconRAB before I got up and very politely moved away. :eek:
 
Verbally Blasted? The receptionist probably had nothing to do with the lights going off. To verbally blast someone when they (I'm assuming, tell me if I'm wrong) had nothing to do with the lighting problems seems a little well...out of of order. And if it was only the house lights? Sometimes mistakes happen and it cant be perfect all the time. If you want to be refunded than thats fair enough, but to be rude to the staff who (And again correct me if I'm wrong) probably had nothing to do with the situation, to me is quite wrong.
 
Two people started smoking in the seats behind us! I'm sure your not allowed to do that! We really should have complained but we couldn't be bothered to make a scene at the time I guess, I'm surprised nobody else in the cinema seemed to mind.
