  1. #1

    Default I'm bored. How is your movie theatre experience, usually?

    do you usually have a fair movie experience at theatres or are there usually kids running around or people just being real jerks?

    The less people are there, the more quiet it usually is. I don't go to the theatre very much anymore, but when I do go it was usually to catch a movie nearing the end of it's theatre run.

    Sadly my audience werent silent for Silent Hill. Mainly it was boys prating about or girls going "Ewww!" I use to enjoy the atmopshere the cinema audience gave, but that was the first time in a long time I'd been to the cinema, last time was for Star Wars Episode 3! And that was a horrid audience.

    Chavs put me off going to the cinema so much. And yes before people defend them, its always them. When I go no one has the balls to say anything to them and let them get away with it. Its arrogant and I cant understand why they will pay for a ticket, then ruin the film for themselves and others. Its selfish behaviour.

    The best experince I guess was the opening night of Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban. The kids were silent and didnt make a peep, it was the adults getting shushed by their own children. Was fun.

    I hate most movies these days. Most movies are a commercial charade wrapped in stereotypes and re-hashed plots. There are lots of sequels to bad movies, lots of remakes of bad movies, movies that are supposedly original but really based on the same old formula, and maybe one or two movies a year that I actually think are worth the money. Otherwise, I read. Books are rarely boring or unorginal. Movies are 90% of the time these days.

    I don't go to the theater myself. I'm just not impressed by the big screens, so I have no reason to. Save myself some money and always wait for rental. I'd rather be at home cozy and chillin in my pajamas watching a movie than in some uncomfortable chair 2 inches away from some person I don't know having to listen to them talk about how much they love their smoochie pie.

    Although, I do admit, nothing beats theater popcorn.

    Most of the time I am fine. I have this great ability to just tune out the rest of the world and become entranced by the movie.

    Yeah, I usually like it, but have some bad incidents. People tend to go into a-hole mode during movies. For example, I went to a movie with a friend, and there we saw two of our other friends and wanted to sit with them. The problem was, there was only one open seat next to them. We politely asked the people next to them if they could move down one, and they went off on us.

    "Umm... no?" (Me)

    I go to Matinees. Usually there's not many people there, and the people who are are pretty quiet.

    This is the most famous chav site I know of:
    ChavScum
    Everything you didnt want to know about them. What they do at cinemas is buy a ticket, then ruin the movie for themselves and everyone else by throwing food at each other and complete strangers, shouting at each other and have chats on their phones to other mates. God they annoy me and my whole family are chavs. Im the only non chav member and Im damm proud!

    That would depend on what time I go and what movie I'm watching. Most of the time I never have any problems.

    It is usually good. I choose seats pretty close to the front, so that i have a minimum of people in front of me,. In addition to that, I can only see the screen and nothing else, so I get really into the movies.

    I can count the number of times I've gone to a movie theater with two hands.

    I usually have a good time, even when there are a few annoyances. I actually prefer to be in a room with a bunch of noisy people than almost completely alone with one or two other people. That's always a little creepy for me.

    Little kids are usually the ones who can annoy me, but during Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I think it was, this little boy sitting next to me kept talking to me and asking me questions. If he had been anyone else, I probably would've been really annoyed, but he was too adorable! I can't remember the things he said right now, but I remember them being cute. XD

    My friend, however, gets frustrated with noisy people, and especially little kids, way easy. Because of that, we don't see kiddy films as often as we used to. Sucks. We love kiddy movies.

    I dislike some theaters (such as the Edwards/Regal in my hometown) due to insufficient audio/video equipment. I prefer very high grade audio and clear video.
