This one really gets my goat. Nothing worse than hearing a couple of nincompoops chatting away during a movie. Even worse is the amateur comedian who yells out lines to try to get laughs. Then you're distracted from your movie by some simpleton texting another simpleton, not realising the illumination of a cell phone in a pitch black theatre.

What say you?

I turn my phone's flashlight on and shine it on them before asking them if they could please turn their phone light off

Oh. Yeh that bothers me too. Bothers me more when I'm trying to show someone an awesome movie and they ask me questions or respond to texts during key moments.

I'm like just fuck off somewhere else and do what you what to do and I'll watch something I haven't seen already.

I tell them to shut the fuck up while throwing popcorn at them
Same with people just on their cellphones with the damn light on

Have you noticed those same fuckers that ask all the questions, barely even pay attention when you answer them

Grinds my gears

Rude. I actually notice it a lot less here than in the UK or Holland though.

I was very glad of some twat chatting on his phone during Hannibal when my mate started convulsing then passed out on me during the brain eating scene. At least I knew who to yell at to call 999.

I dont go to the cinema now for the very reasons the OP mentioned.

The last movie I saw at the cinema was Ted.

I'll be fucked if going to travel 8 or 9 miles to pay 10 quid to watch adverts, 20 trailers before the movie even starts, pay another 10 quid for popcorn and a coke, whilst listening to kids chatter through the movie and fuckwits play with their phone.

I was so pissed it off with it all that one time I paid extra to sit in the VIP area, it was even worse. The VIP area is enclosed with its own sound system and a glass screen separating from the riff raff. Except the time we went, we were put in the VIP area with the McScumfucker family, who obviously must have had a win on the bingo or a scratch cards and decided to treat their kids, all 8 of them. Little bastards were chucking stuff about, making noise and putting their greasy fingers all over the glass screen.

He had low blood sugar or something according to the ambulance people. He was definitely a pussy though, nice bloke and all but he was knee high to a grasshopper with the most gigantic nose I've ever seen on someone so small.

And it was a funny scene till the whole cinema in Reading heard me being all dramatic to the twat on the phone to call 999. The whole movie was stopped and everyone had to leave.

No need for me to ever go to the cinema again, I fall asleep in the cheap seats. Give me one of those leather chairs and it's even worse.

I thought it was overrated, very gimmicky. It started off funny but got old pretty quick. I was watched it with the missus in Newcastle, plan was cinema and few drinks. A hour in we left and got pissed up instead, much more fun.
