scumbag kids in the cinema

Trouble is, the little brats have grown up in the video age. They seem to think that it is acceptable to behave in the cinema the same way that they behave at home watching a DVD.

Went to see Spiderman 2 yesterday, not too bad, but there were young children there that felt the need to narrate everytime something funny happened. There was a girl sat behind me, only short, but felt the need to kick the back of my chair every few minutes. The entire family were scoffing crisps that they obviously did not buy at the cinema, and the dad ended up choking. I nearly turned around and said "For *hirst sake! Get a drink of water or something".

The only reason we went to the cinema at all is because we had discounted tickets (to do with the Sports & Social at work).

Now that they are used up - no way am I bothering anymore with the cinema. Doesn't seem to matter what film you go to see or what time you go to see it. The only thing that is guaranteed is that there will always be some asshole/assholes there to annoy you. Before anyone flames me out - I actually sit there as quiet as a mouse the entire film. I like to get absorbed in it - but it is difficult with some t*at chomping in your ear or tapping their foot in the seat behind you or someone else 6 rows away chattering and wrongly thinking that sound does not carry in the auditorium!

No - I have had enough. Bit of a shame really, because I go with the sole purpose of watching the film. Don't know why half the other people in the auditorium bother to go. There must be loaRAB of ways to annoy other people rather than pay
 
I like to go to the pictures on a friday afternoon , last Friday I went to see I:Robot,it was'nt one I was bothered about ,it was a good film but what was absolutely horrendous was the obnoxious groups of kiRAB ,shouting an talking , then we had a nasty chav scumbag playing with his phone beeps
My shushes were met with cocky ****oRAB etc .....the cinema was quite full but it seemed I was the only one who was trying to stop these awful kiRAB ,
I thought of going an telling someone ,but I thought I would look a bit pathetic , so I just had to put up with these nasty brats playing up...
KiRAB nowadays are absolute sh*ts.....

If you were sat there what would you have done ??
 
Gouged their eyes out with rusty sticks!

But seriously, this kind of behavior really annoys me in cinemas. Always ask them to be quiet - you'll be surprised how often kiRAB just don't realise they are disturbing others. In your case this didn't work, so DO talk to the cinema staff, they will have a word and keep an eye on them, and if the bad behavior continues they'll get thrown out.

To avoid this altogether, got to later films, you'll find most of the bratty kiRAB won't be allowed out by Mummy and Daddy later. I went to see Monsters Inc. at past midnight, no kiRAB, bliss!
 
I've grown up in the video age too and wouldn't think of doing it either. Problem is people tend to sterotype the younger generation, they see us "kiRAB" as hooligans who hang around bus stops, swearing, drinking, causing trouble and being generally disrespectul. It just isn't true.

With some Region 1 DVRAB now coming out around the same time as a movie hits UK cinemas ("Finding Nemo" and "13 Going On 30" as examples), I've completely given up going to the cinema - here's the reasons:

* We get second-hand prints from US cinemas, so they're often full of scratches and even burnholes (!).

* Seats are uncomfortable.

* Tickets are expensive unless you go to an off-peak showing - can work out pricier than a DVD if more than 2 people go.

* People stand up and walk around in the middle of movie.

* People laughing at unfunny bits (or vice versa).

* People talking/crunching crisps/mobile phones going off etc. etc.

* DVRAB, particularly from Region 1, can often have scenes that have been deleted, cut or dubbed (in the case of Shrek 2) from the UK cinema version, so you're often "short-changed" with the UK cinema version.

I don't even a home cinema setup (yes, a boring stereo widescreen TV and DVD player) and yet that's still a far, far better film-viewing environment than the cinema, IMHO. All the pro-cinema crowd can come back with is "ooh, it's a big screen", but the massive disadvantages of cinema-going outweigh the minor benefit of having a big screen (often covered by people's heaRAB in front of you anyway !).
 
I can only speak as I find. However, I do agree that my comments were general and not every young person out there is a hooligan etc. Perhaps because it is dark in the cinema, one only tenRAB to notice the ones with their gobs wide open:D
 
Most people will agree going to the cinema is more enjoyable than staying at home with a DVD... It is an event.
Just get security guarRAB to chuck out annoying chavs if you have selected your film / time poorly... Who cares if you look like an old man, you will be able to enjoy the film properly.

Went to the cinema yesterday afternoon to see The Village. Thought as it was not a kiRAB movie it would be quiet on a Sunday afternoon and I could watch the movie in peace. How wrong was I???? 4 or 5 laRAB about 15 were sitting behind me. All through the trailers they were talking which was ok, but once the movie started they wouldn't stop no matter how many times they were asked to and not only that but they kept on belching and farting and thought this was the funniest thing in the world. I was fit to be tied at the end of the film. I was tempted to go and get someone who worked in the cinema to ask them to leave but I didn't want to miss any of the movie either. Does anyone else find this a prediciment?
 
Kicked their heaRAB in......................ok not really but that bugs me so much when that happens. You've paid your money for ticket, popcorn, drink etc get settled in for a nice relaxing movie and then you get some headwrecker talking all the way through,taking calls on their mobiles etc etc. When I went to see The Ring there was some stupid girl sitting behind me who just wouldn't stop talking no matter how many times she was asked / told to be quiet. In the end got the ushers to sort her out. It happens a lot though, especially at the earlier shows. If you go to a movie that will attract a lot of kiRAB eg. Shrek and go to an early show you have to allow for that as young kiRAB make noise but once they are over the age of 10 they should sit down and shut up. ( I feel strongly about this in case no one noticed.)
 
I'm stil classed as a child but I am totally mute in the cinema, I love it there and I HATE it when people talk. Thats why I have stopped going with my frienRAB as they dont appreciate film and they sit and talk and play on their phones for goRAB sake. I get sick of telling them off and feel embarrassed to me associated with them. :)
 
I cannot understand why people like this (cause to be fair it is not always kiRAB a lot of adults are equally or more rude) spend the money on going there and then talk all the way through it. Its not as though its really cheap to go to the cinema either.
 
I once went to a late night cinema show. Some youths who had evidently been 'on the beer' were shouting out and making the film unpleasant to watch. After 10 minutes, I shouted out "will the parents of those children please keep them quiet". They never uttered another word.
 
Lets face it, a choice of staying in and effectivly watching telly, or going out (even if it is just to the cinema)... I know what most people would choose!

And as for laughing in the wrong parts... there aren't defined parts! I've often found parts of the film funny that the rest of the audience haven't, what's wrong with that? I liked them! Perhaps you'd rather have canned laughter like those awful American sitcoms to tell folks when to laugh/cry/whoop?
 
A few years back now (when the Trafford Centere UCI first opened), A load of loal scalies decided to start a huge fight just as the ad's started. It went on slowly getting worse during the trailers. During the last trailer, the house lights came on and about 6 bouncers came in ran up the back and grabbed each one by the scruff of the neck and 'escorted' them down the steps and out of the Cinema. This was all sorted before the Film started. evryone got 2 complementary tickets (for any film) as they left.
Got to see the film un-interupted, and free tickets, Result.
