Brush your teeeth!

That's very good!

"This is delicious!"

I actually want to see this film, it's been a while since something has actually made me want to chance the company of complete strangers in a darkened room. But that's another story...

Deano, it happend years ago here, with the sticky feeling on the backs of the armhair....and influenza the breakfast of chumpions,....not to mention, the folks who don't wan't to miss anything, and do not wipe thouroughly...theatres are toilets

unless yer in a small town then, fehhggeddaboutit!

Choggie, i frequent the United Artist theatre at noon or 3:00 in the afternoon because there are hardly was hardly any one there, and it was mostly friends from High school that didn't have a fifth period class. hehe not to mention half the people in the theatres where drinking sodas that were spiked with something that you couldn't by at the grocery store until the town got a little bigger by making it legal to sell alcohol.

the theater i went to earlier today was inviting people to come Friday before noon for extra cheap.. And I bet it'd be a little less nasty/icky at that time, dontcha think

FROSTING!

I used to be a major "movie-goer". For the six years from 2000 to 2005 I saw an average of 40 movies per year in the cinema. Like others here have said, it was mainly the other people in the theatre who ruined the experience.

My biggest pet-peeve became not talkers, but people who put their feet up on the seats. I kind of understand if the row in front of you is empty, maybe put your feet up if you must. But if I choose to sit in that row, you must take your feet down if they are within a couple seats of me. I remember seeing POTC and some chick felt the need to dangle her stinky bare feet right next to my head. I tried to ignore it but she was also wiggling her toes and rocking the seats. I asked her once to move her feet and she ignored me, so a couple minutes later I turned around, looked her right in the eye, and flicked her in the big toe as hard as I could with my fingernail. She went "Oh. My. God." in a very teenagery way, but took her foot down and shut the fuck up finally.

When I saw 300 there were two teenage girls seated near me who never stopped talking during the entire film. It was agressively obnoxious but they were far enough and the film was engrossing enough that I tuned them out. It's when the movie is not so great that talkers become a real annoyance, because just as you've suspended your disbelief they'll pipe up and drag you back to reality.

Finally, don't even get me started on the fucking assholes who think they enhance the movie by yelling out loud in a hushed theatre. Maybe I don't want any comic relief that the director didn't intend, and maybe not everyone finds the latest catch-phrase to be so hilarious. Basically if I could get away with it I'd follow people like this out to their car and brain them with a blunt object, for the betterment of society. I was only ever friends with two guys who would do this. One ended up being shot and killed by police and the other has literally gone schizo and can't even go to work any more. So I think it's clear that shouting in movie theatres is indicative that someone is on the low threshold of social integration, and should most likely be withdrawn from the gene pool.

Poster: arid bees? You mean to say "our" bees.

That was awesome!!! BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!!

That's what you should really expect from a theater attached to a mall that caters to fidgety teenagers... If you can't handle it and can somehow afford a 50 feet wide screen of your own, then by all means, don't go to a cinema.

Personally, I'd just wait for the DVD to come out and shell out some cash to get a decent theatrical experience from Best Buy in the comfort of my own home instead of sitting in a theater meant for the general public...

With games consoles all suporting high resalutoins and games been far superoir to film ! everyone should just get a large tv and stay at home !

in england you can often get good time where it is empty i like to sit at the front as it pisses me right off when u have some stupid woman with a big head sit infront + in england if the cinima is not full noone sits at the front so u have nothing anoying in your prariferal visoin. its quite funny how you have to sell your house to be able to aford popcorn and a drink. its like £7 for a large popcorn and drink thats like $14 and its normaly about £5 for the film ontop of that.

I believe going the movies has now become ingrained in our society as a social experience. Thus you will always have people there. I tend to go to the movies rarely and usually with a bunch of friends. Much later after initial runs, when the theatre is usually empty. If there is a movie I would like to watch in solitude in the theater, e.g. Hero or such i.e. movies you got to watch on the largest screen possible, I go on off days and just jump from movie to movie. The other alternative is a art house theater, but all you will find there is snooty film students and uncomfortable chairs.

So about 90% of my viewing is home-based.
