That fool Hector and the Eye Cinema

BrokenArrows

How many of you have been to the Eye Cinema in galway and been tortured by that complete fool Hector for about 5 minutes.

He spends ages just telling people not to make noise, not to use your phone and dont throw gum on the ground.

Any other cinema can do it really fast why must they let that spanner go on for ages in the most annoying voice ever.

Im going to throw up a poll here for the craic and see how many people hate him.

lollerpopsicles!!!

I like Hector i have to say except for the whole invasion of the personal space thing... makes me cringe when watchin him on tv and the 'hangees' are really uncomfortable.

any kinda cinema advertisement annoys me though so i'd say i'd be oissed esp if its 5 mins long as u say.......

ah it makes for good tv! Hect can be annoyin sometimes, but he gets the tumbs up from me...

Atrocity

yeah, i like him

Mossy Monk

a good reason to not attend the cinema imo

has someone billed him as the voice of a generation or something. he is everywhere :mad:

Atrocity

the voice is annoying, but I like the man behind the voice, aka Hector

forbairt

good god .. those who say they like hector .. have they actually had to sit through his info bulletin at the start of the movie .. once was ... mmm who is this guy .. ah I guess its ok ... but every ****ing time you go there ... it really does put me off .. I'd go in late to the movie except might not get the seat I want .. *sighs*

cournioni

I don't like him. He's from Meath.

Oral Slang

Have never seen this, but I do like Hector!

TerrorFirmer

Well if you don't live in Galway, chances of seeing it are obviously slim, so alot of people wouldn't have seen it.

I go to the Eye cinema maybe once a month, I usually go to the Omniplex in Oranmore, but sometimes Eye have films out earlier, as well as the arthouse which I go to mostly. And even then, once a month is too much of Hector. I mean, the first time you see it, it's not that bad....it's just every time after that, is so incredibly frustrating, and annoying, it makes me hate him so much...

Why don't they change the add every so often?

Sometimes.

He is annoying all of the time. :mad:

kippy

Perhaps this would be better on the Galway city forum?
Since this only applies to a cinema in Galway.
I have to say I havent been to the Eye but have heard a lot of people say how much they hate this part of the experience.
Okay for the first few times but after that its very annoying.

thelordofcheese

I've been trying to time my entrance to the cinema so that i miss this blithering gimboids latest attempt to make everyone think he's funny. So far, i've failed.


The eye should take a look at the 30 second long message cineworld in dublin has, gets the point across and at no stage does some ginger haired muppet scream "will ya roll it there roisin!"

timeout

Well as is said above its good the first few times you go but it is just a pain there after. It could be alot shorter also and would probably be fine if it was shorter.

Femelade

i like hector, i like the fact that he pomotes the irish language and can still be quite cool. i'd love to have more irish, it is our native language and alot of people cant even understand it, once we leave school we forget alot of it.

i am discovering this recently, since my daughter strated school and she is taking an interest in the language. she's 4 and has to remind me of some irish words that i've forgotten.

leeroybrown

I don't particularly dislike him but I do think that the intro gets very annoying after a few visits to the cinema, and I've seen it a lot more than a few times.

aidan_walsh

(Im hoping for 0 votes here)+1, because I'm feeling spiteful at the moment.

Proxy

I don't mind Hector too much but I agree, that ad really goes on for too long and it loses any appeal or comedic value after the first viewing! Lets the style of the place down. That said, i'd still go in there long before i'd ever step inside the comparable dive that is the Omniplex again.:eek:

Pigman II

Ah Hector you little ginger tosser.

Maybe it's cultural difference but I honestly have no idea what the guy is on about most of the time. He doesn't bother me that much tho which says something considering you can't go a day without seeing or hearing him somewhere.

However I have to admit he did annoy me in that horseracing ad from a while back (pretty sure it was in cinemas too). What with him popping out from behind a menu (like Bosco made flesh) with a big stupid grin on his face and screeching something out loud that I couldn't for the life of me pick-up. Must have been funny tho as that was met with a chorus of riotous laughter by his pals.

I hate people that laugh at their own jokes.

po0k

[Mods] Could you move this to the Galway City forum and I'll merge it with this thread. Thx luv u bye bye [/Mods]

Yep, its just a pain now.

Ronan|Raven

he is a pain in the arse, about as funny as syphilis. Although....

simu

Hector is an eejit and he can barely speak Irish tbh.

Also, why does the Eye sell only Pepsi, not Coke? That's a major disadvantage for me! :mad: :v:

I way prefer Pepsi! I'm going to see Jarhead tonight, really want to go to the Eye, but two things going against it: 1)Hector, 2) Having to get a cab to Oranmore afterwards.

It's almost worth it just for the Pepsi......and they also sell Club Orange instead of Fanta, which is also miles nicer!

Sleepy

You know, the Hector thing is annoying but the Vodafone one in the IMI Cinemas annoys me just as much tbh.

What's wrong with just a simple:

"No Smoking

Turn Mobiles OFF (completely)

Fire exits are here, here and here"

flashed on the screen for 5 seconds?

BrokenArrows

what is wrong with the people who are saying that they like him. Come on, seriously he is a complete tool.

Willymuncher

Hes a big pain in the arse and that ad is an even bigger pain, it really annoys me, his face, his voice...everything about him annoys me.

limerick_man

I wish we had that in my local cinma... we have a 5 min one from the good folks at vodafone, its the most ridiculaious thing ever, it just goes on about the next and every now and again they say.. turn off ur phone, find your exit!

I agree, I'm amazed at how many people said they like him.

danniemcq

oh my God that fool annoys me no end, he's talentless not funny in the slightest and seeing him 40ft tall is the stuff of nightmares

RustySpoon

I think he is sound. +1 vote from me.

Amazotheamazing

If God has a plan for every living creature I greatly fear His plan for me will involve me killing Hector.

Sarky

What the hell? A majority in favour?

I knew most of you were morons, but Christ...

BrokenArrows

Right currently we have a 35/34

Get all your hector hating people onto this thread

They sell Pepsi because the company offered a better level of service than Coca-Cola Ireland. People would ask for coca-cola out of habit but would take pepsi in its place and never came back saying they didn't like it. Some people might genuinely prefer the taste of coca-cola but a lot of folk don't care either way.

CerebralCortex wrote:

Because it costs money and as the trailer isn't even a year old yet, it's not going anywhere. The PTB at Eye went with Hector because they wanted something different than what the Omniplex were using and they wanted something unique that would get people talking about the cinema.

Unless the film burns up in a projector or Hector quits the entertainment industry, we're stuck with it for the time being.

I would never take Pepsi. Rotten stuff so I buy my own coke before I go. Their loss.

OT: Hector sucks!!!!!!!

captainfuture

Ah, I like him. And the little green man legging it across the top. Will you roll it there, Roisin!

gandalf

Jaysus the only Hanging with Hector I would like to see involves a ceiling hook, Hector and a lenght of piano wire....

timeout

And Hector's Popularity grows with it now standing at 48 liking him to 32 hating him, sorry I meant the cinema trailer

LegacyUser

I am fairly sure Hector is a 'nice' person, but that doesn't change the fact that he is one of the most annoying people on TV.

*Sillysausage does best Hector Impression

.......... Ahhhh, Hector here, is mise an fear, ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I am mad I am, up the Navan posse, WAYHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY...........*

Repeat a million times whilst poking yourself in the eye with a large twig to achieve full sense of irritation;)

nashox

b0bsquish

Well what they're saying is he's an annoying twat. Once he may have promoted Irish but now he's another TG4 to RTE English speaking sell-out who does an ad in the eye cinema.
On another topic, I feel sorry for the projectionist who has to see that every time he rolls a film.
"Roll it there Roisin..."
*Gunshot*

wet-paint

I like him, have enjoyed his amú series, but he's really irritating me now with this add. I'm emailing hjis agent at the minute asking her to see what he says.

Interceptor

I can't stand that annoying ginger b0ll0x and his rowdly-dowdly, horseracing, whisky promoting, skanger-talking attitude. He is an unfunny, yellow-pack version of Tommy Tiernan and he should get a job managing the paint section of Woodies in Athlone so I never have to see him again. In fact he should be tied to that other annoying cvnt, Des-bashing-the-Bishop and thrown into the sea where they can tell 'amusing' stories about how ironic it was to be weighed down by an annoying sack of sh1te and drowned.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHH.

Now look what you made me do.

'cptr

slightlycrazy

God hector is the most annoying person in the world!! First time it was barely bareable and now... He should not only be removed but all record of this annoying turd should be erased from peoples memeories. What a "$££%^%*(!!

tman

ah he's not all that bad...

(but then again, i haven't been to the eye since last june)

johnnyboy4711

I cringe everytime I go to the eye cinema and have to put up with the ginger ninja!
For me its the only negative thing about eye cinema,oh yeah the popcorn drink "deal"should be looked at too!!!
otherwise comfy seats and clean!:cool: :cool: :cool:
