Do people you encounter at the movies in the crowd usually excessively loud, kick your seat and on their phones, or are they the polite and courtesy movie goers we all hope to sit next too.
Speaking of the new 3D experience, the glasses usually are dirty and gross and everyone and their mom has worn them. No movie theaters are charging a $4.00 premium for 3D glasses to watch the movie with their special "glasses." Two tickets today cost me $28.
The American Movie experience has been dirtied and downgraded imo with media, cellphones and noisy people and we are paying more then ever to go to them now.
Concerned.

1. Go to see a film late in its run when it'll be almost empty so you don't get annoyed by other people rustling food wrappers etc.
2. Take your own glasses.
3. Sit in the front section so you don't have many people in front of you whipping out mobile phones every 5 minutes.
4. Threaten people with extreme violence if they continue to annoy you (I did this during American Hustle the other week when someone right behind me was rustling their food for about 2 minutes non stop)
I just don't understand people's need to stuff their faces at the cinema. Especially stuff that stinks the whole ****ing place out like hotdogs and nachos. Drinks I can forgive but food? It's a couple of hours. You won't starve to death you fat ****ing *****.

1. I wait til a movie's been out for at least a week, typically two weeks.
2. If possible, I go during the week to the matinee.
3. I'll often buy 3D cuz many people won't pay the extra bucks.
4. I sit way off to the side. Sure, the screen looks angled at first, but by the time you get through all the commercials and trailers, you don't notice it anymore.
Results: during the summer especially, I'm often the only one in the theater, or pretty close to it. Rarely will I have anyone sitting anywhere near me.
Now that I've shared my secrets for a successful movie experience, I will have to subject all of you to slow, insidious deaths. Nothing personal, just business.

The ironic thing is even when I attempt this, I somehow still wind up having annoying experiences.
The two things that get me, is people go to the movies to text during the whole time. Seeing the bright light of there phones shinning in the dark thearte is annoying. These dregs of society as well like to call besides texting so we can hear their conversation during half of the movie.
The huge frustration come's, when folks think it's perfectly okay to bring infants to the movies. It's safe to say the infants usually wind up crying for most of the show.
I prefer also to go during the week matinee, because I can't stand large crowds of people, all noisily chewing, coughing inappropriately and playing with their electronic pacifiers/phones. Those few times where I've gone to see movies on the weekend, it invariably had a bunch of young kids, all sitting in the back row, talking, stomping, throwing food and being morons. Livid doesn't cover it.
Interestingly, one time a sports team of some sort came to see Lone Survivor. At first I dreaded it, because they were loud and talkative before the previews and there must have been 20+, all flanking me and before me. But then, when the movie started, they were entirely quiet, polite, and I barely noticed them. They were respectable adults after all, and my more usual dealings with large groups of people in theaters was all wrong.
Also, side rant: during every live performance orchestra or recording of such, there's some moron hacking his guts up. WHAT IS THIS? Is it some innate desire to get recorded for all time? The requirement to bring at least five smokers to the performance? Or do cellos give off sawdust?
I loathe going to the cinema because of, well, other people.
Talkers, children, babies, and just flat out inconsiderate people.
I also prefer to not pay ludicrous amounts of money for not just entry, but for food, too.
I prefer to just wait for home media release so I can watch it in the comfort of my own home, and so I can pause the film in case I need to go to the bathroom.
