Stop eating food in the damn cinema!!! eat before you go out!!

I have just had to sit through a film with the noisiest bunch of munching retarRAB ever! If it wasn't for my g.f i would've shoved that food down their throats myself and then made them swallow the packets!!!

AAAARGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!

Sorry, i am calm now :)
 
ha ha you have a good point
eating is pretty tied in to the cinema i feel like i must even when im not hungry, altho its so overpriced to buy it in there, that i pretty much dont
:)
 
I often meet my partner to go to a small cinema near where she works. They don't sell popcorn but do sell some nice cookies which are just enough to keep hunger at bay without stinking the place out or annoying other customers. It's cinemas' fault for selling inappropriate food - but they make their money by selling overpriced, poor quality snacks.
 
I don't understand why it's necessary to eat your way through a film either.
Some people seem to treat going to the cinema as a kind of gastronomic marathon.
 
LOL

When I was small my grandmother used to take us to the local flicks for the teatime showing armed with chicken sandwiches and a bottle of lemonade.
 
I did i went to see the manager after the film, i only stayed to watch the film because my g/f didn't want a scene, but next time i'm going straight to the people making the noise. It wasn't just a rustle just evry now and then it was constant from start to finish and very loud, they also decided it was ok to talk to each other out loud occasionally.

It amazes me these days how people just tolerate this kinda thing, where i live its always me who has to go out and deal with scumbags who kick peoples cars etc... nobody does anything i think thats what makes angry, these days people just put up with shit like this.


Oh and the manager just said he was sorry.
 
I feel weird not eating in the cinema. Sometimes I bring a roll and bottle of orange juice with me because it's lunch time:o

I don't eat crisps or anything because I'm too scared of being annoying and noisey.
 
I usually don't. I try not to drink much during the day or during the film just incase I need the loo. I hate having to get up to go to the loo while everyone is watching a film.

If I do, I take my own food/drink in most of the time.
 
I find popcorn munchers annoying. Several times it has distracted me from the film when someone behind keeps munching. Then I think the damn tub must run out at some point but no. They seem to go on for the whole film. Do these popcorn tubs top thenselves up when they are empty or something?
 
Has it ever occurred to you that your cheese pasty or bean burger is likely to smell and may possibly upset a number of other people watching the film? If you know that is the case do you think you should be more considerate to the people around you?

The last film I saw at the cinema was Dances with Wolves when it was first released. That was in 1990. The film had started and two people sat in the seats directly in front of me. Each of them had an enormous bucket of popcorn, a hotdog and a vat sized cup of coke. The smell of the buttered pop corn and hot dog mustard was horrendous as was the slurping of the coke. When they had finished that they proceeded to munch on a large bag of sweets - the Woolworth "pick and mix" type.

All that was bad enough but was upset me most was the total lack of common courtesy and manners. These two individuals had obviously no regard for anyone else around them.

And the film was bloody awful too. :)

I have not been to the cinema since. I would rather stay at home and watch a DVD with Mrs YorkieUK.
 
I used to work for one of the cinema chains and am relieved that there are indeed people out there who find food at cinemas irritating. It's a shame that in recent years there's been this move in the multiplexes to selling all this smelly and messy stuff like hot dogs and those nachos with dips. It was an absolute nightmare when I worked for a cinema - I was always stepping in some crap that had been spilt on the floor. "When I were a lad," you could only get popcorn, soft drinks, a little tub of ice cream or a bag of fruit pastilles. WHY complicate it? That was bad enough then!

Anyhow folks, some observations for you fellow food at cinema haters. Well, as most of you know, the prices at the multiplexes are extortionate compared to what you would pay in a supermarket or even corner shop.

When I used to be an usher, the amount of nearly full drinks, half-full bags of popcorn, unopened bags of sweets that we used to throw away was unbelievable. You think how much money your average cinema go-er spenRAB on a drink and popcorn - usually about
 
I usually don't eat during a film but if I go and see a film with my sister we get a bucket of diet coke (if you get a large diet coke from Cineworld you'll know what I mean) and take in our own sweets. I'm very concious about other people around me so will eat as quiet as i can. The two fools that was sat in front of me yesterday decided to chomp and russle as loudly as possible, which annoyed me. (they also tapped their feet now and again - for some odd reason - had their mobiles on and let them ring out, then try out their other ringtones - but that's off topic so won't dwell on that).
