Man I cannot believe what happened to me last saturday night when I went to the movies to go see The Wickerman with Nicholas Cage.A Movie I had been wanting to see for a long time.I get there and after only ten minutes of watching what looked like a great movie,the fire alarms go off and everybody is forced to evacuate the theaters.I look around and there is absolutely no smoke or fire whatsoever.When I ask the manager where the fire is,she says it was a SMALL fire that was coming from upstairs and just because of that,they set off the fire alarms and had us evacuate. It gets worse.After standing around for about 5 minutes,they then tell us we can go back to the theaters to watch our movie.We get back there and after sitting around for 20 minutes they still have not started the movie yet.I go and ask one of the consession workers why they have not started the movie back up again.I mean the fire is out they tell me.I point out that everybody that evacuated has had plenty of time to get back to their theatre to begin rewatching their movie,so whats the hold up I ask her.She tells me that they are just not starting up right away as a precaution.
Finally I get fed up with this bullcrap and go to the manager and ask for my money back.She gives me my refund but the night is pretty much lost though because like I said,I had been planning to see this movie for a long time.Plus it all looked like such a great movie after watching just the first 10 minutes of it that I was just getting into the flow of the movie because it was just starting to get very interesting. I wasnt fortunate like this one guy I talked to outsside who was saying that the evacuation drill was a blessing to him because the movie HE was watching,he said the evacuation drill was more exciting than the movie was he had been watching.If the movie had looked really bad to start off with in like the first 30 minutes or so like it was with that one guy,then it wouldnt have been that big a deal but that wasnt the case. After all that,I did the next best thing and went to a video store to rent one of those movies that you been wanting to see for a long time but never got around to doing it.But still it wasnt the same.Never in my entire life has this EVER happened to me at a movie theater,and I have been to the movie theaters hundreds of times over the years.So I will have to put it off AGAIN untill next weekend.Has this ever happened to any of you? I bet it hasnt has it?
Oh well, shit happens

Going to the cinema nowadays is a pain in the arse as a lot of people do not know how to behave in the cinema
take my local multiplex it has 3 bollywood screens(which means films like Slither,The Notorious Bettie Page dont get a look in in favour of badly scripted n badly directed TOSH)and this aint nuthing to with race but when their SH*T bollywood movies are done some of the asian kids tend to just stroll in to whatever screen they like-usually during the last 20 minuites of whatever im watching-and talk on their mobiles and move from seat to seat before deciding to leave.
Also it seems 75% of cinema viewers have a limited attention span who talk through movies and only shut the F**K up when there is an explosion/something scary happens onscreen.
I had to go to my local arthouse cinema to watch The Notorious Bettie Page and it was a treat..a packed house,total silence and not a chavtastic mobile phone prick in sight.

I know,whatever happened to the good old days when ushers stood there in the theaters and escorted people out of the theaters for talking during the show. Our country has really changed for the worse the last couple of decades.

No, but seriously, when I went to see Titanic for the first time, the film broke and they didn't start the movie back up for like a half an hour, and they skipped a whole scene.
Another time, I went to go see King Kong and they played Chronicles Of Narnia instead, so they had to walk everyone like sheep from King Kong to Chronicles, and from Chronicles to King Kong. It was kinda funny, but I was really stoned and I felt like everyone was looking at me. Also, it was sort of the unsaid code that whatever seat you had in the Narnia theatre, you'd sit in the same seat in the King Kong theatre to make it fair, but I went ahead and totally jacked a better seat from some couple so they totally failed.
Man that would suck as well.wow thats a weird story on king kong and chonicles.
