When I went to see Saving Private Ryan, a woman behind me kept narrating "oh, he lost his arm, oh he's picking it up" etc. I sshhhhed severaL times, but she didn't stop. After the movie she gestured to a woman and said, "I was just expLaining the movie to my blind friend here." I Lost it. She thought it was ok to taLk through the movie because of that? Rent a dvd and expLain that.

When I saw movies when I was in the US it was ****ing awful. I can't believe the shit you guys have to put up with in your cinemas. For some reason, no matter what kind of movie is playing, everybody will break out in laughter at the most innapropriate times. Eg: I was watching Munich, and when they shot their first target half the cinema started laughing and clapping and hooting...WTF?
I mean here in Aus we get dickheads, but not nearly as frequent or obnoxious.

that's because our news media teaches us that Israel is blameless against the cold blooded Palestinian terrorists.
LI theaters aren't that bad, worst I've had is some baby crying, not that loudly, in Superman Returns, they stopped after like 5 minutes though. The Westbury Stadium theater is EXPENSIVE though, cost me $10 to see PotC today.
And I'm sure I didn't help make everyone's experience in that Superman show any better, seeing as how I spilled like $20 worth of concessions as soon as I sat down and proceeded to yell "SHIT!" I'm solely responsable to upping the rating on that film to R, I guess.

remember when you brought your laser pointers to the theatre? those were the ****ing days.
i got told to stop by a member of the staff once, i felt like such a hard ass.

My friend and I are watching "My Blue Heaven," so it's already pretty bad. A woman is there with her date, sitting behind me and talking loudly.
After a while I turn aroud and give her the look. I look right at her, shake my head, and turn back around, thinking she'll get the message. She is too stupid, and she continues talking, so I turn around again. This does not deter her. The third time I do it, she practically yells. "What? Why are you looking at me?" And then, to her boyfriend, "Everytime I tawk he looks at me!"
People are really rude and inconsiderate, I've noticed. And to the guy who mentioned the Westbury 12: I've had a bad experience there, too. I was watching some animated movie and some father was talking loudly to his child. I said to him please don't talk during the movie -- it's very distracting. He said, "I'll try."

Two stories:
1) A Parent brought their baby into Lake Placid. A Movie About a GIANT ****ING CROCODILE. WHAT ****ING PARENT DOES THIS!!
2) December 2001, I went to see Oceans Eleven and there was this crazy guy who accused an Arab guy of being a terrorist and shouting it at the top of his lungs. Security came in and escorted the crazy guy away as he kept shouting

After working in the theater business for seven years, I've seen a lot to reinforce my hatred of humanity. It's also one of the reasons I loathe going to movies anymore. I try to go to the least attended screenings (ie. mid-week, early shows).
Here are some quick examples off the top of my head:
A couple were the only people in the theater for the last show of the night of Deuce's Wild. (Anyone remember that movie?) About 20 minutes after I started the movie, I walked into the theater and heard the guy yell at his girlfriend, "Let me eat your pussy, bitch!" I cleared my throat and they got up and left.
As I was counting down the registers one night, during the last showing of Ray, a woman knocked on the office door and asked me to kick a woman out for urinating in the back of the theater. On my way to the theater, several customers came out and said that she got up, went to the far back corner of the theater, and pulled her pants down and just let it go. The urine then ran down into the lower seats. (She was on the top level of a stadium seat auditorium.) Yes, I kicked her and her drunk-ass boyfriend out. And I gave everyone in the theater free passes...whether or not they stayed until the end of the movie.
My theater was showing Spider-Man and Brother Bear at the same time. A man brought his family (including his wife and three young kids) to the movie and asked me to recommend a movie for them. Seeing the kids in tow, I obviously recommended Brother Bear. He decided that Spider-Man was a better choice, even though the kids were screaming to see Brother Bear. After a half an hour, the kids were running around the theater and disrupting the movie. I told the parents that if they didn't keep their kids under control, they'd have to leave. 15 minutes later, the whole family (minus the dad) comes out of the theater and sits in the lobby...on the floor. The kids attempt to watch the movie through the windows in the theater doors. I asked them if they wanted to go into the other movie but the mother declined, apparently preferring to sit on the floor. After the movie is over, the father comes out and yells at me for making his wife sit on the floor. WTF?
During a sold-out show of The Bourne Supremacy, a man stood up in the back of the theater and started screaming at the top of his lungs that the movie was fake because it wasn't shot in Berlin. (?) I had to call the cops on him. (And because the whole scene was extremely disruptive, I gave everyone passes. Everyone.)
I've lost count of the number of times I've found dirty diapers in theaters...which means someone had to smell baby shit through an entire movie. Disgusting.
All I can say is that if you're at a theater and someone is doing something disruptive, tell the management immediately. Don't wait for someone else to do it. If the management doesn't handle it promptly, then get your money back (or at least get passes) and leave. Most of the time, theaters have too thin of a staff to patrol the auditoriums. This usually isn't the manager's fault as they're required to have as few people on staff as possible to maximize profit. I always got yelled at for having too many people on staff, but I actually cared about delivering a good experience to the customers.
And, no, I don't manage a theater anymore.

But the worst thing I ever done -- I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa -- and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.
Seriously though, the most recent bad experience I have had were a bunch of teenages getting drunk in the sets behind me and my girlfriend. Everytime the opened a beer can they seriously laughed for a minute afterwards.

Probably one of my worst theater going experience was when I went to see X-Men 3. I was with a group of friends so we found a row of seat that was relatively clear. Unfortunately, this happened to by the row that was just in front of the rudest, loudest, and stupidest people I've ever been around. That talked constantly [loudly] during the previews, that I didn't mind too much. But they continued during the movie as well. And it wasn't just talking either, oh no. They made use of some of the worst language I'd heard since highschool. And they did it LOUDLY. To make things worse, when Halle Berry appeared on scream on of them said, and I'm not kidding here, "Ah man, that's my n***er". Good Lord. Do you realize that you are IN PUBLIC and the people around you are trying to watch a movie?! I wanted to say something, but they seemed like the type that wouldn't stop talking just because someone asked them to.

I absolutely refuse to attend a theatrical release of a motion picture. First, by the time you purchase tickets, drinks/concessions (if you do that sort of thing, that is...I remember many times my mom sneaking in snacks in her purse) and all that crap, you've already spent $20+. I wait the three or four months after the movie's out, when it comes to DVD. Buy the DVD. Repeat as necessary.
As far as American "morals" go, I believe there aren't any. For example, when my wife and I went to watch "The Passion of the Christ" there was this guy sitting behind us inhaling some popcorn. It was beyond belief. I mean, you're sitting here watching this grotesque flailing scene and the cracker behind you is munching away like it's a flippin' Superman movie. I was disgusted.
I think the last movie I watched in the theater was Resident Evil 2. Same to say, I haven't been back since.

Avatar changed, ho!
See, I disagree with Royale. While I hate how badly people behave in theaters, I cherish watching movies in theaters. While the experience can be simulated in homes, the sheer size of the Mann's Chinese or the thrill of watching a great flick with a hyped audience can't be matched.
I also dig when the crowd turns on the movie. Saw Reservoir Dogs opening day in South Florida and watched all the retirees walk out -- the theater went from full capacity to almost empty.
Hell, even all these horror stories are part of the movie mythology. For some reason we've taken a liking to watching movies in the dark with strangers. While the process is becoming more distastefull as cinema owners let their businesses fall into disrepair, I can't imagine a day when I don't want to see a movie in the theater.

The theater experience is a good one. The screen and nice sound system make the ticket price worth it. Sure you may end up spending more than if you rented the DVD and bought some microwave popcorn, but it just isn't the same.
The reason that I stopped going though is that I ALWAYS seem to sit by the guy/girl who won't stop talking, the crying baby, the easily entertained man that laughs at 90 decibles for 10 seconds every time a knock knock joke is told. At first I thought I was unlucky, but now I realize thats just 1 in 10 people that are that inconsiderate, so you always end up next to one.
I think theaters should have people monitor during movies for this type of behavior, but you know it will never happen.

xsarien said:When you charge $8 for a medium popcorn and soda you can - with all due respect - clean it up your damned self.
Blame that shit on Hollywood... they want such a huge cut of the admissions we HAVE to charge that much or we shut down and you have no theaters. Theaters literally only get 10% if they are lucky on ticket prices the first few weeks it outs... if its Star Wars forget about it... Lucas keeps 100% of the ticket prices for the first week which is also when the most people come to see the movie. Its not cheap running a theater the power bill alone is crazy let alone the amount of management and hourly staff you have to pay for.
So you know the only stuff we truely make money on is the popcorn and the soda. Hell we charge 2.50 a bottle water ,but we pay coke 2.10 a bottle water so....

QFmother****ingT. Unfortunately I'm not the richest guy in the world, so my home theater is little more than a late 90's 30-something'' SD-TV. I also don't own any high quality speakers. Now I know for those of you that got 'em more power to ya, but if I want to see some high quality (image, sound, scale) cinema I've got nowhere to turn other than theaters. And to be quite honest, despite the occasionally loud 13 years old on their cells and the babies getting their diapers changed in the "cheap seats", I've really got no beef with the theater industry.Flynn said:

I've got a few.
1) When the Hulk was released, me and my family went to see an early screening of it. Now, this family comes up and sits a few chairs to the right of me. For a little while, it was quiet, but after awhile I start to hear groaning
... I turn and see the boy moving all around, and moaning, and his father and folks acting like that shit was normal. Needless to say, when we left, we got free passes. It turns out the kid had a deficit, and that was around the time they go to the movies.
2) Opening night of Matrix Reloaded, and...everyone brought their frickin children. OOOH I SAW BOOBIES! Ewwww He's NAKkkked! Whats that? Eww....Why is he ontop of her nakkeeee?
I wanted to yell at the top of my lungs: SEX MOTHER****ERS!
3) Opening night of Hustle and Flow...mistake. Me and my friend were privy to seeing an angry drunk white man. OH SHIT, I DROPPED MY EFFIN NACHOS! And...he was yelling at someone on a phone.
5) Crash, had some of the rudest people I have ever ran across in a theatre. Being Ghetto as all hell, and being really loud. "OH HELL YEA, THAT BITCH SHOULD HAVE DIED!!!" True, but you can stfu too.
I try not to talk during movies out of respect, and for the most part I don't disrupt the movie...but, there was this time during V for Vendetta. Well, throughout the whole movie, my friends had me cracking up. We were all laughing at how ridiculous the mask was looking, so I was making stupid ass faces, and telling jokes with them.
Come to think of it, I love going to the theatre. You get to see crazy shit. After seeing MIII opening night at the Egyptian theatre/movie co, me and my folks almost got to see a fight outside over parking.
Me: OH SNAP! He's YELLING! Wait...He's going to his trunk? GET US THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

I'm sure a simple "SHUT UP!" would have done the trick; you don't want these kids to learn a new word like "sex" and spend the rest of the movie screaming it across the aisles to each other

Ah, this man is correct. It's been awhile...shuri said:
When I was watching Goldeneye in the theatre, I was so wasted off of cold medicine and vodka that I threw up in the theatre. All I remember of the movie is Pierce Brosnan's fat head taking up the entire movie screen, which is kind of impossible unless it's twice as wide as it is long, but I swear that's the way it looked.
Hm. Can't remember too shitty of experiences. Nothing from the far past anyway. Just the usual cell phone, kicking a chair(kids), teenage girls w/ friends talking through my 2nd showing of Batman Begins, ghetto theater yelling, etc.
My buddy I go to a lot of films with though is probably the biggest pain. He enjoys talking during films, which is fine if it's a bad one and he keeps too low for anyone to hear. Only thing is when he tries it in a good film. I told him I didn't want to hear shit when he tried it in Batman Begins. And Superman Returns he thought he had funny or insightful comments. At one point during a loud action scene he tries to tell me something, and the scene transitions to a completely silent one. Basically leaving him hung out to dry and screaming in a dead quiet theater. He didn't talk after that and I got a great laugh out of it.
Another terrible experience being midnight showing of Return of the King. Basically, the film broke right at the point Frodo is looking into the lava with the ring and refuses. The sound continued to play and the whole theater listened for about 3-4 minutes. Then that goes off and we have a 15 minute delay before the film came back on with no explanation of how much we missed. They didn't try to put the film back to where it went bad, just let it play. We all got free passes but you can't make up for that kind of mistake. Not on opening night with massive fans of the trilogy and all.
To lighten the mood in this horrible thread up a bit though, I had an extremely pleasant experience today seeing PotC2. Sitting with a friend waiting a while for the film to start. Next to us a 30-year old guy or so with his 5-year old kid. 10pm showing, and the kid's decked out in Johnny Depp's gear, has a gun with him, eyepatch, action figure, the works.. So me and my friend are sitting there just talking about movies and such and this guy leans over and says "I'll make you a deal. You watch our seats for your and I'll get you guys a drink and a popcorn". We hadn't bought any and I was going up there to buy some in the next 10 minutes or so. So I say "yeah, sure" at first, then tell him on actually 2nd thought don't worry about it. It's no problem. He refuses and says "what kind of drink do you guys want? Coke?" "No really". Again he insists and I say Coke. He's gone for maybe 10 minutes and comes back with a platter of stuff. 2 large drinks and a tub of popcorn for me and my friend, 2 drinks and a popcorn for him and his kid. I try to give him half the cost and he tells me it's no good, I did him a favor. He mentioned his kid probably wouldn't stay up for all of it and left quietly about a half hour from the end of the film.
Wow. Those would have pissed me off so f*cking much. Spirited Away doubly cause I have no clue what I would have said but I would have vented.

See, there's a good theater manager.
The woman who runs our local theater doesn't care jack shit about anyone. Serioulsly. The movie theater in London has seven small, traditional seating screens and a large stadium seating screen with Dolby Digital 5.1. Since the big theater opened, the smaller theaters have gone into total disrepair, and they aren't cleaned regularly. Not only that, every time a new movie comes out that you think is going to be in the big theater, they stick in the smaller one. For example: Silent Hill. That week, it was pretty much obvious that was going to be #1 in the box office. Was that in the big theater? **** no. It was stuck in the smaller theater with the sticky ass seats and garbage all over the ****ing place.
By the way, this bitch hates controversial movies, so we are pretty much screwed during Oscar season.
That's why me and my friends drive ten miles to go see movies now. I'm tired of the crap this movie theater puts its customers through.

And I had it pretty bad the night before last, when I was watching Pirates. A line of about 8 kids who all looked about 10 years old or younger were there, talking their ****ing heads off and asking each other questions about the movie. "What did he say?" "What's that?" "Where are they going?"
Excuse me, little fella. But are your parents complete ****tards? It's 1AM, you should be in the ****ing bed by now, not asking questions about a ****ing movie, that are going to be answered in the next two seconds of film if you'd shut the **** up long enough to see it!
Also, Bloodwake. The next time we go to Corbin, you're paying the gas. It's too far, too much gas, and I really hate the city. Not to mention, the aformentioned perpetrators of the "****ing over" would be more likely to be at the Corbin theater, as it's her hometown. Also, the London theater isn't that bad, if you overlook the crappy small theaters. Just wait till it's in the big one.
