I was in the cinema, a while back and it was absolutely packed... typical friday night and me and my boyfriend were sitting near the back. There were a group of travellers sitting behind us, I didn't know this until the end but anyways they kept hitting off my chair, so I turned around to see what the hell they were doing because I knew they weren't kids because it was 18+ film anyways I wish I never did because they were having sex, while the rest of the travellers just pretended nothing was happening and continued watching the film. I was soo shocked and looked like a perv for turning around but honestly didn't think they were having sex thats why I was going to turn around and ask them to stop kicking the chair

anyways I don't sit at the back anymore.:P whats the weirdest or funniest thing that you have ever seen/done in the cinema ??

I once filmed a home made porno in a film. tWas grand except for this nosey bitch who kept on putting her head into the shot.

Knocked myself out in one.

Not as deviant but went with about 5 friends a few weeks back. Just before the film started one decided to have a quick wee. As he was on his way out the last trailer ended making the place pitch black. Then all of a sudden from the entrance aisle we hear a loud THUMP and my mates voice "eughhhghh".

He had walked directly into the wall. The timing was perfect and everyone laughed.

Maybe you had to be there.

While it's probably not the norm, it's hardly shocking. I've seen/heard it plenty of times before.

Isn't that what the back rows are for?

You should have lashed your boyfriend out of it there and then.

At the end of the opening of Last of the Mohicans, Daniel Day Lewis has been hunting a stag through the wilderness. He takes aim, and downs the majestic beast. As soon as that happened, a kid in the front row with a strong dublin accent shouted 'Nice shot Christy!'

Cinema laughed.

Was in the cinema watching The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Foreign film. Subtitles. There was a group of idiotic teenagers a couple of rows back, just there to, I dunno, get out of the sun or whatever. They clearly had no interest in the film. So they were talking and blathering on about whatever teenagers blather on about these days. Bebo or Lady Gagoo or the state of the economy. They're getting louder, taking out crisps and chomping on them just to piss people off and what not. People are asking them to be quiet, but they just shout 'fuck off' and laugh.

A friend of mine begins to simmer like a pot of water on the stove. On and on the teenagers went. Finally my mate snaps. He bounds out of his seat, hops over about 4 rows of seats, slaps the bag of crisps out of one of the teenager's hands, sending the crisps flying across the theater. He grabs the teenager by the scruff, lifts him out of the seat and yells- 'SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP OR I'LL FUCKING KNOCK THE HEAD OFF YA' and drops the teenager back into his seat.

Quite the amusing thing to witness during the screening of a foreign-language art film.

Was in a city centre cinema a couple of years ago and just before the film started this old fella sat down beside me on an aisle seat. About ten mins into the film he starts to rock back and forth and tap his foot with varying degrees of intensity. I was right beside him so I didn't want to look at him ( I was imagining the worst ). This continued for another 2-3 mins on and off. I thought this guy was possibly jacking off beside me so I finally turned and looked directly at him or at his trousers at least and thanked god that his flies weren't undone. He just had some sort of a tremor or tick the poor guy.

I've since stopped going to this cinema lately because of the antics of teenagers and gob****es on their phones. I'll go to Screen or the IFI or just wait for the DVD.

I didn't know until the end until they started walking down the steps and I could obviously tell then because you can spot a traveller from a mile away. I would of posted the same thread if it wasn't a traveller, what shocked me was that they had sex while the whole cinema was packed like fair enough if there is one or two in the movies

EH it's never fair enough to have sex in a cinema! Imagine sitting in their seat after they've finished! I won't be sitting anywhere near the back row from now on.

so half the population of the country then. Im not taking the p1ss out of you. im always just amazed when settled people speak to travellers without knowing their background and then go into a confused state of disbelief when not everyone conforms to their stereotypes.

Was never there, but I heard one of the late night clubs in Dublin had an attached cinema, gone now, but I imagine that's exactly the kind of thing that would be common in a cinema attached to a night club.
Damp seats might be a problem.

I can fully understand why your friend did this , I've contemplated all sorts of reactions against people who screw up films for everybody else. Luckily I've always restrained myself. From what I'm reading in a book about Peter O ' Toole and Richard Harris back in the day it would have been acceptable to offer a properly matched adult outside and clatter the head off of them , different era. Thing is once you cross that line it kind of screws up the mood of the experience even more. What's supposed to happen is the cinema staff or security are supposed to issue a warning and then if the warning is not heeded turf the f**kers out. The thought of an assault charge and not being able to calm down and enjoy the film after losing my temper would deter me from confronting noise makers. Reasonable requests for quiet are usually pointless.

And there we have the moral of this thread. Seriously the only way to guarantee you'll be watching a film in peace & quiet. Saw Metropolis in the IFI last night, 2 and a half hour long silent film. Dead silence throughout. The way it should be.

I have studied about Irish travellers just last year in Uni, but honestly tell me when have you seen a normal dressed young traveller, but settled girls are almost the same now of days. I know about their backgrounds and I'm not saying they're a disgrace or anything just because they are tavallers I would of said the same if it was a settled person having sex in the cinema

you asked me why I thought they were travellers, to me its quite obvious because I live close to a settled traveller family, so your telling me you couldn't tell if a travller walked by, you wouldnt even spot that he/she was one

I was quite suprissed when i went to see somthing in the lighthouse cinema and people were talking. not youngfellas either, 40 odd.

Worst experience was in Leeds watching Drag me to hell. About 6 different groups of people talking, screaming, throwing popcorn. If its one group id say something, if its four what do you do

I know your not having a go, neither am I, my friend has the same story about two dublinners going at it in the cinema. you have dicks in every social class.

Im just interested in the stereotypes. really there is actually individualism in travellers just as much as there is in the settled community.

Can't be bothered with the cinema to be honest, not been in years (and I mean years!!!). Would rather wait for it to be released on dvd or download it on the net and watch it in the comfort of my own home without any twats disturbing me throughout!

I take it you are a traveller sensibleken?

To be fair, I always thought that I could spot a traveller a mile away, and I live in a Co Limerick town that has a very high traveller population.

I was proved wrong at this years Cork Gay Pride, when I got talking to a guy who (after 20mins conversation) told me he was a traveller. I would never, ever have guessed by his clothes or the way he spoke. We had a very interesting conversation about it, and he was telling me how hard he finds it being a gay traveller...... If his family find out he is gay, he will be disowned. And when gay people find out he is a traveller, they don't want to know him. He was a sound guy and he really made me see that you can't always judge a book by it's cover........

Anyway, back on topic - the worst behaviour I ever saw in a cinema was me and about 10 of my friends having a massive popcorn fight when we were about 15/16. We all got thrown out, and what made it worse was my Mum was working there as a cleaner at the time, and the manager nearly broke his neck in his rush to tell my Mum what a bold bitch I'd been:)

Ghetto Cornetto

Back when Cineworld in Dublin had the double seats up the back, myself and a group of friends were there. Took up a fair few of the seats.

Just before the movie starts, a rather obese chap plods along up to the back, giant bucket of popcorn in hand. He stood at the top for a few moments looking slightly baffled, after which he proceeded back down the steps, softly whimpering to himself.

Took a moment to process that there were no double seats left, and the guy was so upset because he couldn't fit into a regular seat.

Would have offered a change but we lost him soon after (surprisingly).

Asphyxia

Empty cinema + darkness + crap film = Durrty

I love cinema and it is very annoying when people start acting the arse when your trying to watch the movie but I can't say much I have done my fair share of stuff when theres a crap film on and i'm too lazy to leave.

In all honesty, he was the exception rather than the rule, the vast majority of people people find it quite easy to spot travellers, that's not racist or anything like it, it's just a fact.
I can spot chinese people too, even if they dont have those funny hats on!

Holysock

I was in a cinema watching Harry Potter and the half blood prince and a woman behind me was having a full conversation on her phone, even when people were telling her to be quiet.Then she said:

"Yeh I'm still at Harry Potter.Hmm? Oh yeh, it's just at the bit where he

dies

"

And she would not stop talking!Eventually someone told her to get off her phone or get out and she finally shut up but still, it ruined the movie for me.:mad:
