Went to watch The Dish this weekend.
Or I think it was that movie, kind of hard to tell with the amount of people that spent £5 to sit in a dark room and talk.
Why do people do this?
What is the point of spending that money, taking the time to drive to these out-of-town gigaplexes and then chat chat chat all the way through?
And why do these people get offended when I grab handfuls of their hair and drive my knee into their foreheads?
For those of you that go to a movie, sit and watch with the occasional whispered comment – thank you.
For those of you that go specifically to sit next to me, beside me or in front of me and tell me all about what Pete did last Tuesday – I hope you all have ugly children.
Is it me?
Am I the only one that goes to watch a movie because I want to see that film?
Am I the only one that wants to pay my money and sit down quietly?
I appreciate you may not like the movie – so get up and leave the cinema.
Don’t annoy me by saying how rubbish it is over and over.
And, if you don’t understand what’s going on, wait. This is called a plot, and things will be clear by the end.
Do not sit there every 2 minutes saying “So who’s that?” and “Which one is he?”.
You are stupid, you do not need to know the plot, you need to laid down in the car-park and let us drive over you many, many times until you understand this.
A few rules for cinema virgins and the just plain thick:
1 – Turn off your phone. I do not want to hear that your cat is sick.
2 – Do not drink if you do not understand you may need to pee, go before the movie. 2hrs is not a long time to hold it.
3 – Do not wear a hat
4 – Do not stand up and shout to your mate at the back and ask his opinion of the movie.
5 – Do not tell me every single movie that an actor has been in, as in “That’s (insert name here), he was in (movie title), remember that one? Oh, and they were in”…you get my point.
These are simple rules, but will enable us all to enjoy stress free cinema going.
Oh, and the red bull ads are not funny.

People these days hey?
I'm sure many of them goto the cinema to see and film they don't watch or are not intrested in at all just to say that they have been. One good example of this is 'Titanic'. Ok, 'Titanic' wasn't really a film that was seen to be hip and trendy to see but everyone was talking about it. Many people probably went to see this film (And films with the same popularity or hype) to say that THEY HAVE BEEN to see the film everyone is talking about.
When asked what the plot was about or a certain part in the film they would most probably anwser a sweet "Er-Yeh!" or just nod and agree.
The only advice I can give is not to goto the cinema on a weekend if you want to avoid people that have no care in the world about the people surrounding them. If you say go on a Saturday then you will hear teenage girls giggling about the boys they met last night and the sound of fellow people kissing (and the such) in the backrow.
I find it amazing how many people see it cool to interupt a film for the other viewers by shouting out comments to other viewers and even in between the adverts.
So next time you and your mates go to see a film think about the others that surround you. Think why they have come to see the film, you may not be intrested but they may be. If you are not one of these people then you will have to talk to the people who do it or just try and concentrate on what you came to see, the film.

Ok, so I'll tell my little story of Cinema HORROR! It all began when I went to watch Austin Powers 2 last Summer, when I had a mega pass allowing me to watch as many films as I could within a 4 week period. This lead to many films being watched. I managed to watch Austin Powers 2 -> 7 times during the 4 week time. This particular time started very well a well packed cinema with pukka sound started up! Thats when it began.....The weather outside was far from pleasant! It was tipping it down to say the least, this lead to a little uncomfortablness while sitting in the cinema! However after around 1 hour into the cinema, the picture went all fuzzy?!? It lasted for about 1 1/2 minutes then totally darkness! To say the least it was utter confusion, did we wait in our seats in darkness or go get some one to help. I decided to go out of the cinema and tell someone. Which I did, they said that it would b a while because the cinema had been hit by lightning! Therefore I thought it would be a good time to go to the toilet. Once I left the toilet I could hear that the movie had started up again. I thought this was not fair but hey what could the cinema do? So as I went into the screen I was stopped by the guy on the door. He insisisted I show him my ticket stub! However I had thrown it away as soon as the film had began. He wouldn't let me I tried to explain what had happened but he wasn't having any of it. He said he saw no one leave the screen therefore no one would be allow back into the screen!
I was not pleased to say the least!

When I go to see a film I like to wear my hair big, unwrap sweets really slowly and noisily, cough and clear my throat, switch my seldom used mobile phone on and fart loudy as often as I can!
Ha ha, not really - I'm with you lot on this - noisy people in the pics really annoy me. I find that it's got a lot better since I started taking my machete!

Dunno.
I saw Independance Day in the U$A, and they cheered and appluaded when Bill Pullman gave his "lets kick their alien bee-hinds" speech.
My fav are the mongrols that take those laser pens in with them.
Someone did that in an Arthouse cinema when "Oh Brother" was on.
A guy got up, took the pen away and snapped it.
We all cheered.
Morons.

Heh, yeah I can relate to that. I posted a little tale of my own on here a while back, which I'll tell you again in case you didn't see it.
I was seeing the gift, and a few underage drinkers had decided to bring in an entire unwins store, which they polished off nicely during the trailers. Then the film started and they were shouting and talking at the tops of their voices.
Ushers told them to shut up, they didn't.
Members of the public walked up to them and threatened them, but they ignored it.
Then the manager walks in and tells them to leave but they insist they will be quiet and sit tight.
As soon as the guy leaves they start up again, and a quite comical usher waits behind the door and pops his head out at full speed each time they speak.
Then right at a good part of the film (which I missed most of) a coupld of policemen walk in and arrest two of these lads. They resist arrest, of course, and end up fighting with the coppers down near the door.
Thoroughly entertaining evening out, and the applause came not for the film but for when the two lads got dragged out of the door.
Oh and don't ever go to Brighton to see a film - they are all weird and American. At the end of Independence Day most of the people in there got out of their seats and applauded.
Meanwhile those of us not from the town left quietly through a side door.
And why is it that adverts you've seen a million times on tv make you chuckle a bit in the cinema?
