Darth Crossfader 625 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Fuck ... so apparently, my classmates are convinced I'm highly intelligent and autistic. There we go: another one of my pet peeves, and a damn annoying one, at that. Being perceived as a highly intelligent and perhaps even autistic fellow.Problem is, this gossip is making the process of socializing even harder for me!I'm fucking doomed!

Mr. Lovejoy 7,764 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 That's one of the big reasons I don't go to the cinema anymore. Obnoxious people were becoming increasingly difficult to avoid. I'd try going to the earliest and latest showings, but nope, there they were. Always. People staring into their illuminated phones, phones making irritating sounds, gabbing and gossiping during the movie (as opposed to, you know, before and after it...any other time when you're not in a theater full of people watching a movie), loudly ingesting snacks like slobs, leaving and returning to the theater in the middle of the movie, yelling out "witty" comments etc.I don't have any of those problems when I watch movies at home.

I have no problem with eaters in the cinema (partly due to the fact that I am one). The cinema offers food so it's assumed that it's okay to eat. Clappers and cheerers on the other hand...

Sweeping Strings 2,784 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Laugh at the funny bits, gasp at the thrilling bits, scream at the scary bits ... that's great, no problem with any of that. Chatting away through the rest of the movie for no apparent reason other than an inability to STFU ... really not so keen on that. And social media can wait until the movie's over to hear how *awesome* you thought it was ... put your phone on silent, then put it (and its incredibly distracting light) back in your pocket.On my previous post about the cinema eating ... I sincerely believe cinemas shouldn't sell noise-making food, it's absolutely counter-productive. That's one of the big reasons I don't go to the cinema anymore. Obnoxious people were becoming increasingly difficult to avoid. I'd try going to the earliest and latest showings, but nope, there they were. Always. People staring into their illuminated phones, phones making irritating sounds, gabbing and gossiping during the movie (as opposed to, you know, before and after it...any other time when you're not in a theater full of people watching a movie), loudly ingesting snacks like slobs, leaving and returning to the theater in the middle of the movie, yelling out "witty" comments etc.I don't have any of those problems when I watch movies at home.I get where you're coming from, but ultimately the desire to see things on their deserving home of the big screen wins out ... call me nostalgic, but I'm old enough to remember when people went and didn't act like dicks. I've taken the 17th off work in order to catch The Force Awakens on opening day but also at a time (10:15 in the morning) that I hope will reduce the noisy idiot/kid numbers.

Melange 448 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Folks eating during a cinema film showing doesn't bother me too much.I think they are absolutely mad in the head for paying the prices they do for such snacks, but that is another issue.I had a young Boy sitting next to me during my viewing of Spectre who had a habit of turning to his Dad and making comments about whatever he was seeing on screen or what he thought was going to happen next, excited y it all. I then realised that I remember doing similar at that age, perhaps not in the cinema but certainly while watching movies with family at home so it wasn't overly disruptive and his Dad made repeated attempts to "shoosh" him.Eventually he got with the program.Oh yes, Pet Peeves - the shoddy quality of plasters / band aids these days, at least here in the UK.I tell ya, these things used to adhere like cement decades ago and could put up with a lot.Now you're lucky if you can work for an hour or so before the useless adhesive on these things starts to peel away and you're right back where you started. Perhaps I should start an online petition to bring back madhat adhesives onto plasters / band aids.Failing that, I will be more discerning from now on where I purchase them. Going cheap on these is false economy it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Lovejoy 7,764 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Another thing that annoys the crap out of me being a jaded cynical old fart is when people laugh at stuff that isn't even funny during the movie. Not just the lame unfunny jokes, but things that should never illicit a laugh because they aren't remotely funny. The Harry Potter movies were full of these. WTF are you people laughing at?

Lady Dimitrescu 9,497 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I've asked this question before about people laughing at jokes or gags at movies. Are they really laughing? Or is it that fake laughter people force out in order to fit in with the crowd?It's really hard to get me to let out a genuine belly laugh. The only things that really, really make me laugh are toilet humour or anything to do with someone being a cheap and miserable scrooge. The lengths some people go to stretch every dollar they have even if they can afford better really sends my funnybone into overdrive.But these people who seem to laugh, or claim to laugh, I just don't believe it. Like there are other things that I find humourous, but not enough for me to laugh.Same goes with people who claim a movie made them cry. Like, really? Like really made you bawl your eyes out in a fit of hysteria cry? Grow up, come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. For several reasons, I don't go to the cinema any more - I see anything interesting when it's out on rental. It generally means I'm 6 months behind everyone else, but I can watch everything in the privacy of home (maybe a bit less if I use blinkbox).

Not Mr. Big 4,787 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 It'll pretty much be the Alamo Drafthouse or nothing from here on out. They have a stricter policy on talking and bringing young children and an excellent system for reporting rude movie-goers (harsh, I know, but so is being a dick at the movies).

It's not like they would get anything out of the experience. They're too young to remember it and are likely to be frightened by the loud noises emitted by the sound system.
