Worst experience in a cinema/movie theater?

[Socrates]

My worst experience in the theater had to be when I saw MI:3. Some jackass to my left kept wispering to his friend, and he had this terrible cough. It was a pretty annoying, because I was actually enjoying the film.

But to test my patience, I decided on not telling them off.

I think teenage girls are probably at the top of the list when it comes to being bothersome at movie theatres. Screaming in a sarcastic manner when something is only mildly scary is what they are notorious for.

And the classic one that I think happens at every theatre is when someone says "Shhh!!" out loud, then you get about four or five other "Shhh!!!" comments in response to it.

= They were bigger than me.

They actually looked like a couple of *****ebags.

I also hate when their mobiles rings! Oh god! It is so...

Me and a few friends went to the midnight premiere of Revenge of the Sith last year. We waited in line for around five hours only to get into the show and have someone use a laser pointer throughout the entire movie. So not only that was a distraction but there were security guards everywhere trying to find him. But that's not all, during the Obi-Wan Anakin lightsaber fight Anakin yells something like, "This is the end for you Obi-Wan" then jumps at him and right when BAM! the screen went black. I guess they had a problem with the film strip or something. So we have to sit there for ten minutes doing waiting for them to correct it before we could finally finish the movie. Hey, but at least they gave us free tickets.

The sad thing is the me and my brother saw the 6 pm showing a few days later, got to the theater fifteen minutes before it started, found great seats, and watched the movie uninterrupted and with no laser point constantly on the screen. Anyway, that's the last midnight premiere I plan on going to.

Damn it's seems like X2 brought out every a$$hole in the world! LOL!

Worse experience was also during my 'second' screening of X-Men 2. This Asian teen and i guess his parents, who apparently didn't speak a word of english, translated the ENTIRE ****ing movie for his parents. So after every line spoken in the movie you could hear him translating it into korean(?) for his parents...very annoying.

"This is the end for you Obi-Wan"

Haha, hilarious. What a place to have the film break.

"No, Luke, I am -BzZzZt................................."

Well, recently, when I went to watch "Take the Lead" in my local theater, there was this ANNOYING cuople.

The woman kept telling the man EVERYTHING that happened in the movie, and I do mean everything. I don't know if the man was blind, ******ed, or both, but the woman kept telling him outloud every little thing that happened in the movie.

Example:

Antonio Banderas start dancing

woman: "Antonio Banderas started dancing."

The principal says that the frames are all dead children from the school

woman: "The principal said that the frames are all dead children from the school"

One of the black girls is watching TV

woman: "One of the black girls is watching Tv".

And so on.

Tell me about it, I was on the edge of my seat thinking this must be the part where...then all was black. It still wakes me in the middle of the night sometimes. Plus I was in a theater full of people who have been waiting for this movie for years and had just been outside all day waiting in line in above 100 degree weather. (It was May in Arizona.) I thought there was going to be a massive riot or something, I'm surprised I made it out alive.

 

[Strange]

I was at the theater watching Joe Dirt and right during the middle of the show they cut off the film and a manager came in to tell us all that there was a tornado warning. He told us all to remain calm and stay in our seats and we would be notified if anything major happened. As soon as the manager left I got up and went to look outside, it was raining very hard with lots of hail. My car was in the very back of the parking lot and since it was old I was not that concered about the hail but the sky was all dark and it was like 2:00 pm on a Saturday. So I just went back to the theater and sat down with my girlfriend. We just sat there and was talking about 5 minutes and then the movie started back up, I guess that meant there were no tornados but my girlfriend wanted to leave but I didn't want to walk out of the movie. So we stayed and watched all of Joe Dirt. Later when we got home we found out that the tornado went about 5 miles north of where the movie theater was.

Yeah, I was noticing that too. Fortunately mine went a little better.

I used to work at a theater where my best friend was the manager. I'd come in wasted all the time and just watch movies all day while my "co-workers" actually worked.

So somehow I was sitting in the back of "Sense and Sensibility" and I passed out drunk right in front of the door.
I was in a peaceful slumber and was awakened to see a hundred people waiting there and an old, angry man kicked me to wake me up, saw my uniform and told the manager to fire me.

Hooray for angry old men.

And I forgot to mention something weird that happened during a King Kong screening. Some theatres around here have the habbit of making small breaks during movies (and for a 3 hour one, it's kind of welcome) but his one went kinda wrong. So, at about the middle of the movie, the screening stopped and the lights went up. I got up to stretch my legs but to my (and the rest of the theatre's) surprise, the movie went right back on. Only thing is, the lights didn't go out, which was quite annoying, and this lasted for a few minutes. Then it stoped, and people started to get out (for the break). Guess again. The lights went instantly out and the movie started playing again. Geesh. My guess is, someone messed up and didn't stop the film when they should.

I saw van Helsing (I know). I had no where to go at the time, my old roommate had invited dozens of his friends over and I was NOT in the mood to socialise so i was killing some time until they left so Van Helsing was the only movie available.

But this lady sitting next to me was laughing out loud mockingly at every single moment. Even though every frame of this film was like visual excrement I wanted to throw her through the screen legs first for laughing in my ear for 2 hours.

Another horrible experience for me was when I saw Hulk. Now, this was my 3rd time and it had pretty much run its course by then. The theater was packed that night, though. And it was packed with kids! Needless to say I was pissed. There was one group of kids that were disinterested and doing other things amongst themselves. Loudly. There was another set of kids whose "leader" was explaining the film, which he had, apparently, already seen. I left the theater before Bruce even Hulked out. I just couldn't sit there and enjoy it with all the kids. I hate kids. At theaters and sometimes in general.

At another film - I forget which - this couple brought their newborn child. I was appauled by this, but shockingly he slept the entire time. I lucked out, but I was seriously disgusted that they would bring such a young baby (no older than two months) to the theater.

I was going to end with that, but I remembered another! When I saw Attack of the Clones for the second time, I went to a smaller run-down theater because it's closer. Big mistake! Besides for it being packed (only because the theater didn't seat more than 50 people), I could hear through the walls! Whatever was playing in the next auditorium was very audible. Especially the loud scenes! UGH!

Summer 1997

Batman and Robin. It was my friend's birthday, and we decided to watch Batman and Robin. We went to the Multiplex, got some popcorn and went to the screen. It was empty. We sat and watched the film. Our souls were sucked right out of us with very minute the movie progressed.
When the film ended, we were picked up by my friend's dad. He asked how the film was. We didn't speak. I shed a tear.

I hope you're proud of yourself, you've just made Baby Jesus cry.

Woah, that's kind of shocking. Were the theatres part of a big chain or something?

Terminator 3 Sneak Preview - Right as Arnie shoots the rocket at the Terminatrix, the light goes off and we can't see ****, we just hear the screaming and gunfights. After five minutes, they fix the problem and turn on the screen to find the car torn to ****s, showing us what we missed.

Attack of the Clones - After waiting in line for God knows how long, about half way through the film broke and we missed a good 10 mins.

I watched Over the Hedge today and this woman behind me was the most annoying person in the world. Not only did she have the LOUDEST high pitched hyena laugh in the world, BUT she also found EVERYTHING and I mean EVERY LITTLE THING absolutely, redicoulsly HILARIOUS.

Whenever one of the characters would say aything a little humourous (possibly enough to make you just smile) she would laugh out loud all by herself. For example: Stella (the skunk) said "I'll gas you so hard you're grandchildren will stink." All of a sudden HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH HEEEE YAHOOOOOOOOOO WAHAHAHAH YIPEEE OH I CAN'T BREATHE HAAAA HAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! And I wouldn't be able to hear the dialogue. It was as if she has been locked in a room for the past year and this was her first time experiencing anything entertaining.

Yesterday i went to watch the davinci code with some friends and friend's girlfriend.

she kept asking him ****ing obvious questions throughout the film and he had to keep telling her the story.

If she's that dumb, she should have read the book first.


she also went completely crazy at all the jumpy parts like she was having a panick attack.

I was this close to bashing her head in.

This is one of the many reasons i enjoy watching films on my own.

And so on.

Well - you usually won't find blind people in theatres, so...

 

[Edward Brock]

Maybe she was ******ed.
