    Movie theatre annoyances/pet peeves

    Please share some of yours...

    My #1 would have to be kids who like to be obnoxiously loud like they are trying to get gain attention or be funny in the theater.
    Ahahahaha...I like it!

    Re: Movie theatre annoyances/pet peeves

    So, on Sunday afternoon, a friend of mine and I go to a movie. The movie had just begun when 3 young men, boys of about 13 - 14 years, walk in, start walking up the stairs, talking loudly... I simply turn to them and in a voice loud enough for all to hear say, "Shut the hell up and sit down, the movie started."

    Didn't hear a word from them the rest of the time.

    Oh.. cell phones suc in movie theaters.

    Went to see a late screening of King Kong. The King Kong that is 3+ hours long. Family brings in 3 kids, 2 of which are in diapers. Didn't end well. Shocking.

    OH MAN.

    I serously get ****ed off with people talking and shaz in the theater.

    I get highly confrontational and usually it at least works a while.

    Ruins the movie for me.

    I waited for king Kong for a year and then sat next to 2 teenage morons.

    Same thing with LOTR.

    I hate people.

    Re: Movie theatre annoyances/pet peeves

    When the wife and I went to go see The Longest Yard we had 3 young guys (probably HS age) with their girls in the very back of theatre. They were loud before the movie started, ya know when they show they promo stuff? I just can't sit through it, and hope it comes to an end. I'm not the biggest guy, but I didn't have a problem confronting them about it. Before the previews start, two pretty good size guys come in there and sit in front of us. One of them eventually leans back to me and says "can we count on you?" I was like "heck yeah!"

    As the previews start, they begin commentating on each preview. One of the theater staff comes in there, and asks them to be quiet to which one of them yells "I AM BEING QUIET!" 5 min later security guards of some sort come in and escort all 6 of them out. As they leave, one of them yells "but I'm not getting the entertainment that I paid for!". As he passes my aisle heading down, while being escorted, I say loudly "well, I just did" and begin laughing.
    Ahahahaha...I like it!

    The Popcorn Palace Economy

    Indeed, the ultimate test for the popcorn economy is: Will a movie attract enough consumers of buckets of popcorn and soda to justify turning over multiple screens to it?
    Movie theaters are for suckers.

    Re: Movie theatre annoyances/pet peeves

    all the above are why i rarely go to the movies. when i do, i usually sneak away to a tuesday matinee of a movie that's almost ended it's run at the theater.

    i've been escorted out 2 x in the past 10 years for telling the young punks to shut up ..... then them retaliating by throwing something at me ..... then me going kung fu hustle on them.

    on the rare occasion of a movie date night, mrs. critical digs her nails into my thigh whenever someone is talking loudly to let me know she doesn't intend to leave the theater before the movie's over.


    in a related story, it's our anniversary today. i'm thinking about doing a dinner/movie night.....you know, before the hoe down starts.

    I know, I just wanted to poke at you with a stick.

    I had the kid of experience you're talking about at the first MIB.
