Cinema - Walking into another movie after yours has finished.

_Tipsbymark

Does anyone regularly do this? Ever gotten caught?

For anybody working in cinemas, do you catch people doing this regularly?

Saila

so you want to steal everyones ideas and put them on tipsbymark and pass them off as your own :mad:

joshrogan

No, my video camera only has enough memory for one movie so I have to leave everytime it is full.

bonerm

Yeah I did it once recently. Got caught too. It was sooo embarrasing. They just stood over me with this look of disgust on their faces and then asked what was I doing wasting my time at a Captain America screening?

LighterGuy

I did it once in Cineworld. Wouldnt recommend it. They're watching like hawks. Then you got that awkward moment where you pretend to have tickets but lost them blah blah.

Aoifey!

I've done it a few times, works best if there's an upstairs in the cinema as there aren't generally many workers around. I used to hide in the bathroom til all the people from the first had left and then walk into the next one as the crowd was coming.

That makes me sound like such a scabby bastard

Did it when I was a teenager,think I saw Ocean's 12 and then snuck into Meet The Focker's for some reason.

It was during the day in Liffey Valley so was fairly easy.

I got into Avatar for free but I had to go out and pay then because I didn't have the bloody glasses. It was so simple, I literally walked straight by the workers.

I hadn't seen any other film before going in though.

I worked in omniplex for 3 years. You always see people doing it and the guilt on some peoples faces is hilarious, might kick normal people out depending on my mood but I ALWAYS kicked knackers out.

Frank Black

I don't think I've the required ass stamina to watch 2 movies in a row.

sock puppet

No way I'd spend that much time in a cinema! I'd have gotten rickets by the time I came out.

There isn't even a cinema in my county...

MrStuffins

Did it once years ago. Went to see that DREADFUL Guy Ritchie movie Revolver. It was so bad we felt cheated so we decided we'd sneak into another movie about to start.

We sat down, pleased as punch we hadn't been caught.

It was Revolver again. Ball*cks!

What exactly does the necessary size of a town to become a city have to do with cinemas? There's a 9 screen cinema here in Arklow ffs, so wherever yer man is from must be pretty bloody rural to only have a lone screen.

Da Shins Kelly

I've always wanted to try this, but my friends are such bloody do-gooders that I don't think they'd do it with me, and I wouldn't have the balls to do it on my own (although I'd probably be less likely to get caught if I was on my own, but who wants to go to a film on their own?).

mgmt

I do it lots of times with my gf. Easy to do in the Savoy upstairs and UGC in Dublin.

I spend 20 hours a day on the internet so I probably could, except I never leave the house.

Lightweight.

stiffler123

Ya I've done it a couple of times. I always make sure the "free movie" has been out for a few weeks though to minimize my chance of being caught.

Duggy747

Never do it because there's rarely ever more than 1 decent film on. They're all crap!

Tar.Aldarion

my friend used to do this all the time get 2 or 3 in. seems simple to do, never any staff around.

Four movies on a Saturday is my personal record.

How's your nutsack btw?

Run_to_da_hills

Did this regularly a number of years back with two mates until we got caught, staff were more annoyed about the bags of food and cans we smuggled in.

I'm surprised cinemas don't cash in on this and offer all day passes.

Forest Master

What sort of a loser is even arsed doing this? 1 movie is enough. And you probably missed the start too - makes no sense. It's as if they're doing it just because it's free, when it's pretty-much pointless and the movie is probably sh*te.
It's like being offered a Centra roll after you've had a nice meal, and trying to cram it in just because it's free. Bums.

LJD10

did it once years ago back in my student days....we went to see Scooby Doo and it was so bad we left after 5 mins and sneaked into see Resident Evil

Not sure which one makes me more of a loser, going to see Scooby Doo or sneaking into another film

emeraldstar

Yeah. Once went to three movies in a row. Then Cineworld introduced allocated seating :mad:

What? You're a loser if you want to watch one movie after another?

"And the movie is probably sh*te". And your food analogy makes no sense! it's nothing like that at all! What the hell are you on about?

phasers

I can't do this, I don't go to filthy multiplexes anymore.

Sometimes I go into Cineworld and ask what's showing in Screen 2 though, I love that little guy

Jet Black

Went to see the beverly hillbillies in my local that only had two screens,but it wasn't well signposted were it was so we just went into one and sat down. Film started and it was true lies:) Thought feck it. Got about half way in before we were kicked out. We were probably the only two to buy tickets to the hillbillies so thats how we got caught:-(

Got to see the best scene with jamie lee anyway:-)

I do, quite a bit, and I would imagine many do too. It's not like you get in there, the film kicks off and then you start chatting. They're not really needed once the film starts so no reason why someone wouldn't go to the cinema on their own.

I could never go to the cinema on my own. It'd be weird. But mainly because I love to enjoy movies with others. Sure I watch movies at home on my own but much prefer to watch with other people.

At least you end up paying a decent price...per movie.

Bourne Ultimantum followed by Transformers 1,(the only good one) which my brother had gone to see, only missed the first two minutes!

Nice Combo!

Are you saying tickets in a Scooby Doo voice, and if so, why?

Dunjohn

"Rickets" is actually a thing.

Oh.

I liked it better when I thought it was an impromptu mid sentence scooby doo impression.
