    The last time I was in the cinema there was a trailer for the film Battleship.

    The row behind me had about eight teenage girls out for the evening. Throughout the entire film, they told one another many times, over and over, that Rihanna was in Battleship. They chatted about her hair, her music, her clothes, her weight, her relationship (they'd forgive Chris Brown, because he's so hot).

    Mostly though they just reminded each other that Rihanna was in Battleship. Over and over. For two hours.

    I can't even remember what the film was.:(

    That sucks man. dopes like that wreck my head, paying good money just to put up with a-holes like that

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Rihanna in that movie...

    Very astute of you Bad Panda. It's a little known fact that Rhianna did indeed star in that film. Her hair was amazing. She wore nice clothes too. Chris Brown is an abusive man, but I would personally let that slide purely on the grounds that he is "hot" and therefore, likely a good lover.

    You know, I know some girls you'd really get along with. :)

    Are you single? More importantly, are you a Rihanna fan?

    Oh sweet jesus yes, yes I am a Rhianna "fan".

    I never (if I can help it) go to the cinema between 1pm-8pm. Morning, or late night flicks cuts out most of the tossers (kids/teens), I find.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,510 ✭✭✭DesperateDan


    It sounds like he didn't realise how racist that comment was. It's a sad day when your actions on an internet thread are teaching you right from wrong :D

    Went to the cinema to see 'Ted' this evening. I really enjpyed the movie but there was this racist guy in front of us complaining that we were laughing too loudly (I thought that was expected at a comedy?) and complaining that we smelled?

    Idiots like this should be thrown out of the cinema,he ruined the entire film for us after paying 23 quid for our tickets. i think ill just rent out films anymore..what a complete and utter moron

    I hate people that shush you in the cinema and threaten to "box the head off you!"

    i like to give my friends a running commentary full of observations and wit. Give them extra bang for their bucks.

    Had a bizarre experience when I went to see Phone Booth in the cinema years and years ago. I was there with my mom and dad because I was about 12 and there was this woman sitting beside me who absolutely roared laughing constantly throughout the film. I literally can't remember one funny part of that film but I can always remember her howling laughter throughout the film. Bizarre carry on.

    When I went to see Sweeney Todd for the fourth or fifth time with my boyfriend (we really loved it, we were bloodthirsty 17 year-olds at the time and we had loads of free cinema vouchers and it was Winter so it was a handy way to stay in from the cold) there were a bunch of 14 - 16 year-olds occupying the entire row in front of us; about twenty seats. Anyway they spent the first fifteen minutes of the film talking about how **** it was and rustling their twenty million sweet wrappers and chucking popcorn at each other and shouting down the rows to their friends. When Sweeney Todd received his razorblades back, one shouted "F*ck that biys, he's singing to his knives" and they all left, leaving behind well over €200 worth of uneaten cinema food and sweets. Again, bizarre carry on.

    It is an incredibly rare occasion that I go to the cinema now that we have our own house. Why on earth you would want to leave the comfort of your own home to watch a film with a bunch of unpredictable weirdos off the street, especially when you have to pay as much money to see films as you do nowadays, is beyond me. You'd be better off investing in a projector and having a hard drive with several hundred GB of films on it, you'll never need to spend a fortune on that chewy, cold cinema popcorn again!

    There's nothing worse than some dumb cnut kicking your seat especially if it's a kid and the parent does nothing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,113 ✭✭✭shruikan2553


    anyone under the age of 15 in a group larger than 3, maybe 4. Good chance they'll be talking and laughing the entire time. They are easy to avoid by not going Friday evenings or Saturday afternoon at least.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,122 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    Ted was a funny movie OP. I must be easily amused but a talking, swearing teddy bear. Come on to fnck.

    Also on disruptive moviegoers, A couple that went to the same showing of Ted that I saw, Firstly they sat in the wrong seats and when told to move they argued their point and the guy managed to trip walking up the center isle twice (Big laugh from audience) and then after security asking them to move, Guy said he had enough and was leaving, then stumbled off the last step on way out.

    I think it is possible that different cultures have differing cinema etiquette. For example, I find that Eastern European men are very fond of talking out loud through films. Maybe that's perfectly normal in that neck of the woods.

    But the comment about Indians not washing... not cool.

    you know that comment about indians/pakistani not washing well they're a number of people who think they smell, i've never noticed it though & i always though this was a slightly racist remark

    but apparently the type of food you eat effects your sweat, indians/pakistani people eating a lot of spices etc. is what's the cause of this 'smell' people notice.

    the cinema sucks!
    A year ago I had a different attitude and quite honestly would of thought someone was mad to think the cinema sucked. But as I found out recently home-viewing is better. The technology is there. Its a different time.


    And by that I mean, lets take 15 years ago. Your option was to see something in the cinema with great sound or picture or watch a crappy VHS tape on a 20 inch screen (at best 20 inch)

    Now I can watch a crystal-clear blu-ray dvd on a 40+ inch tv in my home. relaxed & comfortable on my sofa.... order a takeaway, drink coffee or what ever. Not to mention due to the internet so many movies are... well ... "available" so easily.

    Now the obvious counter-argument to the above is that we would have to wait till the blu-ray/dvd comes out. Which is true. But I recently watched The Dark Knight Rises in Odeon. On one hand the screen was like a blown-up VHS, the sound wasn't crystal clear, my ass was sore sitting in the Premier seats .... while on the other hand everything I mentioned with the above in home-viewing.

    The most annoying thing lately, is the amount of cunts who feel the need to check their phone, and distract so many people at once :mad:

    this thread sums up why I havent been to a cinema in well over a decade.

    Thinly veiled "I have my own house" post! :D

    I dont understand why people go to the cinema to see movies like that anyway. Fair enough if its Lord of the Rings or Avatar or some big cinematic epic but its a movie about a talking bear. The only thing you get from the cinema that you wouldnt get at home is a few morons who will ruin it to some degree for ya.
