Hey at least your polite about it. I'm talking about the people that have to stomp the way down from and the way back up to their seat.

Guilty with this one.. once or twice. :bashful:


Have you guys met Mr. Portable (PSP/DS)?

I met this guy once while watching shrek. The guy not only played through the whole trailers, but also in some parts of the movie flashing colored lights in our faces. WTH! If you don't like the movie, LEAVE!! :frustrated:

The I Think I Can Silence Somebody With an Evil Grimace and No Words Guy.

Honestly, if you are close enough to the troublemaker, use your words. Communicate. Dont just give that evil look. It just eggs them on.

The Stupid Hot chick sitting next to you and and leaving a comment after every scene

Re: Top 10 List Of Your Most Hated Movie Goers
 

Oooh, I just thought of another one.

The person who is sitting within earshot mumbling things like "That can't be real", or "that would never happen". It's a frickin movie, just watch it!!!

Re: Top 10 List Of Your Most Hated Movie Goers
 

The ones who heard that a movie was scary and laughs out loud just to prove they are not scared.

This behaviour is very lame and u instantly know that these people are no older than 17, wear nothing but tracksuits, have about a million gold chains around their necks, get their gf's pregnant by the age of 10 and actually think its great. :randy:

I actually dont mind when people clap or get excited during a movie if they are genuinely watching it. Only the ones who go there just to cause trouble annoy me and if i had an anti aircraft weapon i would of used it. :frustrated:

We forgot about.. Mr. Popcorn/Peanut Catapulter!

The one that throws popcorn/peanuts to the people in front (or back) of him/her.

I've only seen this done once and it was my friend doing it...lol and it was licorice and nachos. We were 15...I laughed, I was a bitch :(

Re: Top 10 List Of Your Most Hated Movie Goers
 

I'm not quite sure how you distinguish this guy from the people who get up to go to the snack bar or check on their kids in the adjoining theater or check the weather, or whatever it is that they're making those trips for. I mean, is this guy announcing his destination each time he gets up? Or taking his giant soda with him to the can?

I do caution you younger guys about copping a superior attitude to those with urinary problems. You'll understand better in a few years when you become better acquainted with Mr. Prostate.

Re: Top 10 List Of Your Most Hated Movie Goers
 

Now this is news to me--I don't think even in my childhood I was ever in a theater when people did not talkduring the previews. I always considered the previews to be one last chance for everyone to conclude their conversations, hopefully before the movie begins.

Nor have I ever seen an audience that exhibited any collective interest in the trailers, most of which have already been seen in the movie ads on television. In fact, I've always thought of previews as sort of spoliers for the movie being pitched. Since they usually put the best scenes in the previews, you can pretty well figure out the essence of the film just by watching those outtakes.

That said, I try to talk as little as possible once I take my seat in a movie theater. Those places are too public for private conversation and too noisey for a sustained discussion.

Re: Top 10 List Of Your Most Hated Movie Goers
 

When I was a kid in Barcelona Spain (and not that long ago), going to the local cinema was nuts. people didn't get popcorn and stuff, they got out a huge bread a knife and chunk of cheese or ham and made their own sandwiches on the spot. Man -- the smell -- the smell...

Re: Top 10 List Of Your Most Hated Movie Goers
 

I personally hate the guy who has to sit near you even if theres nobody else in the theater, the old guy who likes to complain loudly everytime someone curses or there's a sex scene, and the people who have to talk to the movie like it's listening to them (oh no, don't go in there!).

Re: Top 10 List Of Your Most Hated Movie Goers
 

My wife has a habit that bothers me in the movies. As she gets caught up in the plot of the story, she occasionally reacts to events on screen by saying out loud, "Oh, my!" "Uh-uh!", "Good grief!" Little outbursts like that. She doesn't shout it out, but it is audible to me and probably would be heard by anyone in the radius of a few seats. Thing is, she's absolutely unaware that she's saying anything! It's just an automatic and unconcious response that there is no way to "correct" it or "break the habit." She does it at home watching TV; even if she's watching TV alone I can hear her little remarks from an adjoining room or hall. She even does it when reading! It's not like a constant babble, but it happens often enough that I'm sure it could be distracting to a stranger.

Which brings me to the point that really bothers me--a dread that one day we might be seated too close to Mr. Angry who takes it upon himself to "correct" her, probably in a tone that I won't like at which point the situation is really going to escalate with my response. While I appreciate his right to watch the movie in peace, I won't tolerate caustic criticism of her. Fortunately, we don't go to movie theaters that often, since it's cheaper, more comfortable, and more pleasant--for all the reasons listed in this thread--to watch a movie at home.

That said, in my younger days when I was in the Army, I used to enjoy the audience participation when attending the base theater. Most of the people in the theater were us guys in our late teens, early 20s who had spent the day being ordered around and who likely had a beer or two or three--or some other mood enhancement agents--before we got to the show, sitting there in the sweet anonymity of a dark and crowded theater. The running commentaries that often were called out usually was better than what we were watching on the screen. Sort of a "prequel" to the later audience participations of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show," but with out the costumes.

I remember especially one screening of Disney's "The Sword and the Stone" that had me thinking it was the funniest movie ever--until stone sober and accompanied by my little girl, I saw it years later back in the States.

Re: Top 10 List Of Your Most Hated Movie Goers
 

Ah yes, the dreaded Mr. Prostate, I'm not looking forward to meeting him anytime soon.

I am not one for going to the bathroom in the middle of a movie, especially if I think it's getting ready to get really good. I try to take care of all that stuff beforehand, but sometimes it's just so frickin cold in there, it's hard to last the entire movie.

Re: Top 10 List Of Your Most Hated Movie Goers
 

I guess I can understand you there though mine are more directed at the kiddies laughing. They laugh at just about anything just to laugh. Now as for a guy who at times can't stop laughing, I'm guilty as charged except I try like hell to keep mine inside as it's more like allot of laugh snorts instead of anything loud. I'm serious, it may not happen often but there have been times when I could not stop laughing and it went on for about 10 to 15 minutes. I'd be a bucket of sweat at the end there. I'd lower myself down in the seat and just try to ride it off with my nose in my jacket or something. The last time this happened was when I was watching 'Bandits' back in 2001 and Billy Boy yelled out "Beavers and Ducks" just as he woke up. It caught me off guard cause it made absolutely no sense and came out of nowhere. I'm laughing now just thinking about it heheh.


I have only saw one couple making out in my many years of going to the theatre which I'm sure is pretty unusual.


I hate the head and I hate being the head. I find myself squirming down in my seat cause of some paranoia going on in my brain about them miffed at my big fat head.

I know a guy with a group of his friends who downloaded and watched 'Saw' and then went to the cinema on opening day and as the first scene took place...........they stood up and yelled pi$$ing the hell out of folks who found out at the end, they were rights then demanded money back from the manager cause it was ruined for them. Those clowns were just lucky they didn't run into the wrong kind of people. Mm-hmm.

Re: Top 10 List Of Your Most Hated Movie Goers
 

The, I know I am gonna hate this movie so why am I here anyway? Person.

For me a movie is supposed to be an entertaining time, a time to relax and wind down and a time for escape. I hate when "people (persons)" make it perfectly clear that they do not want to see the movie that is about to start. I do not care if it was your "partner's" time to pick the film and you just know that you are going to hate it. During the movie, (and they know darn well when they go in they are going to hate it, even if they like it) they spout things like "that is stupid", or this movie sucks", like we care.

Re: Top 10 List Of Your Most Hated Movie Goers
 

I'm with Yoda on the Text Messenger… and Holden on the Wrapper Crinkler… I hate both of those.... and another one that annoys the H out of me is the Ice Cruncher... :frustrated:



Oh, and I also agree with Holden about saying something… and I do…

Mr. and Miss We're Only sitting in this screen until it's safe for us to sneak into the screen next door to see the movie we aren't old enough to buy tickets for.

Mr. I Can put my feet up on the seat in front if I like

..and another vote for the Text Messager.
How hard is it to use some of the cinema staff hanging around to work as ushers? Do we not pay enough for our tickets?
