the one thing i hate about going to see horror movies...
as i'm sure all of you do, i love going to the movies. popcorn, cola, big screen, good sound quality, its all sweet. the one thing i really REALLY hate about going to the movies is standing in line with idiots.
i went and saw "Saw" on saturday (leave me alone, only just got released in Aus ok) and got to stand behind 6 people, 3 sets of boyfriends and girlfriends. not fussed about this, just chillin, nibbling at my popcorn, waiting to go in. then they start talking really loudly about their "horror movie veiwing." i dont know about you guys in the US but our posters for Saw has "best thriller/suspense (whatever) movies since Se7en" on it as one of the blurbs. one of the girls notices this and this is when the conversation got really freaking annoying. "oh hay look, they recon its the best movie since Se7en" "what movies that" "you know that movie we watched with brad pitt in it" "that one we watched last night" "yeah that one" "what was the ending like i fell asleep, it was so boring"
well i nearly choked on my popcorn. i love Se7en, and it is a freaking tops movie, and these weiners have some to see a movie of similar type the night after sleeping through it.
then the boyfriends start throwing all these little lines back and forth about all their "gory horrible movies" they have to impress their girlfriends. you know "hellraiser" "friday the 13th" "nightmare one elm street" and "TCM." half the stuff they talked about in the movie was pretty off the mark, i wanted to correct them, but i helld my tounge (i bet C-Dic and Evil Dead and probibly Backfire all have trouble not lecturing people in the cinema too).
during the movie, i ended up sitting infront of these weiners, listening to the girls go "oh my god, hes going to cut his foot off" "oh my god, he got his throat cut" "oh my god hes going to get shot" all thought it.
then when i was leaving, i heard all these gung-ho gore lover boyfriends talking about "how grossed out they were" by the movie and how "they shouldn't be allowed to put this kind of stuff in movies"
i dunno about you but i was ready to smack them up side the head with my empty popcorn box at this stage, gave them a horribly nasty look and left.
do any of you guys get these big noting morons in your theaters? do they talk all through your movies, ruining all chances of suspence and tension? do you? i ****ing hope not

I had to deal with idiots like that when I went to go see The Exorsict: Begining. I was about ready to choke this one guy to death, I'm not kidding all through the movie he was talking about what he would do if all of that stuff happend to him. On the way out I pushed him into a wall.

There have been a handful of Midnight showings where my tolerance for stupidity has been tested, notably those for "LOTR:ROTK" and "Star Wars: Episode 2". There's a gaggle of bullheaded wankers in every crowd, looking to flex their movie knowledge muscle. Don't do it around me, because I'll pee on you. Fair enough?
As for people actually interfering in my movies, I've been fortunate. I go during the day anyway.

non-issue with me. I simply don't go to the theater..........like, ever. Here's why...
- annoying kids talking through the flick
- people making you get up so they can go empty their child size bladder during the middle of a film.
- listening to my wife, "who's doing what now? I'm not following"....which causes me to miss parts of the film. It's like explaining algebra to a rock.
- I'm a chain smoker.......no smoking in theaters......
- I have a better time watching a film in the comfort of my own home. I can eat what I want...when I want........smoke when I want......pause the dvd to tell my wife she's stupid and explain the plot to her.....etc........and no kids acting like asshats.
It's been over a year since I've been to the theater......the last movies I saw at the theater are:
- Matrix Revolutions (had to see the resolution to the Reloaded cliff hanger)
- Freddy v/s Jason (come on...couldn't wait for this one on dvd)
- Matrix Reloaded (first one was good.....)
all more than a year ago........the last movie before those I saw at a theater was probably Star Wars Ep. 2............in which I thoroughly loved listening to the grown man behind me explaining to his four year old son how the plot related to the previous 4 movies which he had never seen before. "when Obi Wan told Anakin he would be the death of him, it was foreshadowing in Star Wars when Darth Vader, that's who Anakin becomes when he turns bad, kills Obi Wan in the final duel........that's why it's so hilarious........now you see the comedic value in that my 4 year old child".
Only reason I ever go to the cinema is for dates.
Any movies that seem good, I get my cousin to download (hes got faster net) and then if they are GREAT i got to the pictures.
i like to go to the cinema when there is hardy anyone there...theres always some *** making stupid noises and have no interest in the film what so eva....american audiense seem crazy though! no offense..
i bought an illegal dvd copy of alien vs predator :ninjaa guy is recording it in the cinema in usa)
and the audieces are talking and laughin most the way through it...some one was shouting 'go predator!!! or 'predator rules'!! and laughing at the slightest thing.....id love to be in that atmosphere but i bet i would get annoyed after a while...in the uk most people in the cinema never get to excited...just the odd person

When I saw City of the Living Dead, there were 3 guys who had to talk during the whole movie.. it was so annoying.. And all they could say was: "Oh my god its just like in Braindead and Bad Tasste" (I bet they didn't even know those films befor Lord of the Rings). And then they kept laughin at the wrong moments and they yelled Awesome.
Why the hell do people have to show how big their balls are at the movies? Do they think that just because its a horror movie they are allowed to talk?
When I saw Spider-Man 2 there was these extremely annoying girls probably in the 10 to 14 range. The giggled loudly throughout the whole movie and during the during the train scene one of the evil turds yelped and then they giggled even louder which ruined a very cool action scene for me. I was about six rows behind them and I was thinking about throwing my soda at them but thought better of it.

I didn't even see The Incredibles 'cause I was able to foresee all the kids in the theater (all who saw it already) yelling out what's gonna happen next. I'm waiting for the DVD.
Some people get testy at theaters though. I laughed when Anikan got his arm cut off and people all turned to look at me.
Oh, when I went to see the village, I put my stuff in my seat and went to get pocorn, I come back, my stuff is moved and there are 3 goth girls and guy, so I called them Muff diving dykes and to get otu of my seat, and they did
