Creepy people in the cinema?

    Have you ever encountered creepy, odd characters when you go to the cinema?
    For me, I remember when I went to the cinema with my friend, a guy came in halfway through the film. I noticed how he walked weird, but didn't think anything of it. But then when he sat down, a few minutes later his phone rings and he starts talking on it, didn't even try to whisper or take it outside. Then a little while later, I looked out of the corner of my eye and he was sitting at an aisle at the other side of us, and I found him staring at us! It was so creepy, he wasn't even trying to hide it, he actually was leaning over to look at us, and when I turned my head to stare back at him, he quickly turned his head back at the screen. :(
    Then a few minutes later he got up, and walked down to the front aisle seats, they were all empty so I thought maybe he was gonna sit there (I think people were throwing popcorn at him, because I noticed he kept looking back at a group of people few rows behind him, while he was on the phone, which I think was appropiate since people were trying to look at the film, not listen to him talk),
    but then he started walking across in front of the seats, like pacing about three or four times, before going to the exit door that was near us, leaving while still staring at us. SO WEIRD!:confused:

    So does anyone here have any cinema creep stories, if not creep stories, just plain ignorant ones instead, like people talking loudly in the middle of a film, for example.

    Stupid, stupid girl who thought hobbit feet were hilarious, loudly....every single time hobbit feet were shown.

    I don't go to the cinema anymore.

    I went to the flicks with my bestie at the time.

    It took me a few minutes to cop it but he was actually stroking the hair of a complete stranger who had sat down in front of us.

    No idea if she felt it or not but I always saw him in a bit of a different light !


    I also went on my own once. Walked in, middle of the day and one other person there. So I walked over, asked to get by, sat down right beside him and offered him some popcorn.

    He was a bit taken aback........ then he moved seats :(

    Was in the cinema on my own and there was a guy one seat apart from me, also alone. About a half hour into the movie he takes out his phone. This pisses me off but I figure he's quickly checking a message or a missed call. A minute or so passes and the light is very distracting and I look across to see him playing a game! What a knob. He's paid the €10 to be there like me, surely you want to actually watch the movie. He put it away once I told him it was very distracting but still, moron.


    Eh... he also looked a little creepy, I guess, kinda... not really.

    Just recently went to the cinema and this mong in a red hat a row in front of me to my right spent a good portion of the film just talking to his mate.He then gets up out of his seat blocking the view of anyone behind him for about a minute to get money for the lobby (why he decided this was great timing 3/4 of the way through is beyond me) Makes a big fuss getting out of his seat and then stands in the aisle for 5 minutes just watching the film before eventually heading to the lobby.

    He comes back 20 minutes later where him and his mate go back to talking,catching him up with whats happened and just stupid bollocks.People begin shushing him and he acts offended like he's a precious little flower.

    Dope.

    Because it was €8 along with my popcorn.Plus I'd probably get kicked out for a stunt like that for a film I paid €13 to see.

    Wait,why does anyone go to the cinema? :confused:

    Because even though the prices in there is expensive, you cannot beat the sound system in a cinema when you see a film or how it looks on the big screen. :)
    Apparently, a lot of people say that in The Hobbit, the Stone Giants scene is meant to have been amazing on the cinema screen, and that it does not have the same effect when you see it on the TV screen. :cool:

    Cinema where I used to live is tiny and I used to regularily until things got weird. I was at the screening of a rare controversial foreign film and these 2 lads start heckling as soon as it started, i looked back and there were 2 priest protesting!

    Couldn't believe it and the clowns scared the life out of my labrador aswell.

    Word of advice man, you are better off not doing that in future. I'd say you were only being friendly, but to a lot of people it might come across as a bit odd.

    How were you able to bring a dog into the cinema?! :eek:

    Chances are that sneaky little fecker behind the counter in the lobby gave you Coke Zero anyway. It's undrinkable, so you might as well be throwing it away.

    Was at a cinema last week and everybody was grand.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,386 ✭✭✭Killer Wench


    I'm floored by the number of people who think it is okay to answer their telephone during a movie. End the call or walk out to the lobby. :mad:

    Ah, it was alright. Didn't miss anything.

    They should have some sort of anti mobile technology or just show subtitled films.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,422 ✭✭✭✭Bruthal


    I remember once in a cinema, almost no one else in it, a complete mug comes over and sits down in the next seat. As if thats not bad enough, he then asks if I want some popcorn.

    Once you have a decent TV, and a decent 5.1 sound system, the bluray is often better than the cinema.

    Although some do have this, they have to be careful, in case it blocks a 999 call nearby.

    I must have come across a dozen backseat basturmators over the years. Weirdest wad at the life aquatic with Steve zizzou

    I went to a late showing with a friend once and somebody did that to us. The screen was mostly empty and we sat in a row behind a person sitting on her own. After about a minute or two she turns around and announces she is moving back, didn't understand why she was telling us this, so just nodded our heads. Anyway she comes back and sits right next to us and offers us some bite sized chocolate bars. Realized about 10 minutes later that the smell of urine that we noticed when we first came in, was probably coming from her.

    They don't need mobile blockers, they need to throw out anyone using their phone during a film.
