What Was Your Worst Movie Theatre Experience? (self.AskReddit)
submitted 3 months ago by alexsteve6
spilled coke and butter on myself...imad
[–]Vanderwoolf 136 points137 points138 points 3 months ago
I went to see Evolution when it was in theaters with come friends and their dad. In the middle of the movie it suddenly paused, then an usher came in with a flashlight and told us that there was a tornado on the ground about a mile from the theater and we all had to move into the hallway. As soon as he left they shut off the projector along with all the lights in the fucking theater and left some 300 people to find their way out in complete darkness with the knowledge that a tornado was headed our way. Needless to say it was somewhat panicked, only a few people got trampled if I remember right.

[–]volothebard 213 points214 points215 points 3 months ago
Lord of the Rings opening day. Theatre airconditioning broke down about 10 minutes into the movie. By the end the temperature in the theatre was well over 100 and it stank worse than Comic-con.
The theatre manager was waiting afterwards though and gave all 200 or so people free passes to see another movie.

Went to see Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. If that's not bad enough, several 15 year olds kept running up to the screen to fondle "renderboobies", as they put it.
[–]bageloid 229 points230 points231 points 3 months ago
That is hilarious.
[–]wickedmonster 18 points19 points20 points 3 months ago

Fuck it. I enjoyed the movie.
Don't understand all the hate. If you want Final Fantasy: THE GAME, go play the game
[–]HireALLTheThings 41 points42 points43 points 3 months ago
In my opinion, it was too slow, and the villain had no compelling motivation other than "I'm an asshole LOLOLOLOL!"
Still, it was a beautiful movie for its time and I enjoyed the visuals.
[–]corso 5 points6 points7 points 3 months ago
I also enjoyed the movie. I have the dvd and still watch it every now and then.
[–]MrDNL 193 points194 points195 points 3 months ago
Went to see Men in Black II.
Old lady behind me didn't know who Tommy Lee Jones was, or, for that matter, Rip Torn. And she HAD to know. So, she kept asking... all moving long.
"Is that Tommy Lee Jones? Is that Rip Torn? Wait, is that Tommy Lee Jones?" Unfortunately, the old man next to her was no help, and though Will Smith was Rip Torn. So the two of them, very loudly, were trying to hash this out. Meanwhile, the four younger people they were with were, strangely, entirely silent.
After a while, the guy behind them -- a middle-aged African American guy -- was not happy... not because they were loud, but because they were getting it wrong. So he starts swearing and calling them all sorts of names, something like "you old white fuckers don't know who the black man is" yadda yadda. But for some strange reason, the old couple and their friends (?) couldn't hear him, even though the rest of the fucking theater could.
This goes on for about 20 minutes, until someone else in the theater just yells "THE OLD WHITE GUY IS RIP TORN. THE YOUNG BLACK GUY IS WILL SMITH. TOMMY LEE JONES IS THE GUY WHO JUST GOT HIS MEMORY RECOVERED. THE REST OF YOU NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP."
Most of the rest of the audience cheered.
Now that I think about it, it was pretty awesome.
[–]CregDerpington 564 points565 points566 points 3 months ago
This family was sitting behind us. There was a 5-7 year old kid with them and was talking the whole time. Finally someone stands up and yells, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" and then the dad gets all aggressive, and then a bunch of other people just start yelling at this family and start chanting, "Leave! Leave! Leave!" It was great, they left.

In like 8th grade, went to movies with a friend, his "girlfriend" and one of her friends, who was supposedly a girl I had never met before. So the friend and I get to the movies and meet the girls. Instead of someone I have never met before, the other girl is this girl who had been after me a few weeks earlier at a school dance but I'd had no interest in. Whatever, I don't put up a fuss because there is nothing I can do about it. I don't have a cell phone to call my parents to pick me up and it's way too far to walk home, so I'm stuck there. So we're watching the movie and she wants to make out with me. I've never made out with anyone before, and, even though this girl is kind of ugly, I figure "fuck it" and so we start making out. She starts rubbing around my manly area and I pop a boner. We watch the rest of the movie making out sporadically. She tells her friend about the boner, who tells my friend who proceeds to tell my entire class, and also to add in the made-up fact that I farted during the make out session, thus bestowing upon me the nickname of "Boner-fart" for the rest of the year.
[–]MrMackay 92 points93 points94 points 3 months ago
That's rough, man! I'm sorry, but I will have to tag you in the RES as Boner Fart.

[–]terrortoad 4 points5 points6 points 3 months ago
That sounds hilarious, though I imagine to an 8th grader "boner-fart" could be pretty emotionally scarring. Back in the age when those words meant something serious.
[–]schroefoe 327 points328 points329 points 3 months ago
It wasn't in the theatre per say, but it was right after the movie in the parking lot. It was Star Wars Episode 1's first night and the place was packed, so after the movie the traffic is just awful in the lot, bumper-to-bumper type deal. This guy in a van has a fender bender with a lady in a sedan. He pulls back a bit, she steps out to check the damage, and he's screaming at her. I was younger when this happened, so I don't remember why things went out of control, but I remember seeing the woman standing between the cars yelling, the guy flipping her off, and then the sound of bones snapping as he drove forward and crushed her knees between the two bumpers. Meanwhile, the kids in the guy's van are screaming and crying, his wife is trying to calm them down, and the guy is trying to reverse and get out of the lot while people are surrounding the van and the woman is shrieking in pain. That woman turned out to be a very talented dressage rider whose career was ended by that accident.

Saw Matrix Revolutions with girlfriend who cold-shouldered me throughout. Pretty awkward.
Then immediately we got outside afterwards, she dumped me.
I was pretty hurt but mostly I was thinking could you not have done this two hours ago and spared me the excruciating awkwardness of sitting through that shit with someone so far across the seat they might have been in the next screen?
On the plus side, the getting dumped overwrote any memories I had of the film.
[–]avapoet 149 points150 points151 points 3 months ago
tl;dr saw Matrix Revolutions
That really sucks, man.
[–]seetons 89 points90 points91 points 3 months ago

Went to watch Kill Bill 2 with my mom, ticket lady refused to sell me tickets because I didn't bring ID, I was 24 at the moment and my mom was with me, I told the lady "miss, I am 24 years old and this lady over here is my mom, we both want to see a nice movie and she has authorized me to enter and see it, what else do you want??" she still refused ... I didn't watch any movie that day, fuck that shit...

When I was 22, my girlfriend and I were both carded before some rated R movie. The lady who takes the tickets eyed me up and down for a good 10 seconds, then said "no, no. Something isn't right here. I need to see IDs." She handled the whole thing as if we were two 16 year olds trying to buy booze or something. When she asked for my ID I said "wait...are you serious? You legitimately think I'm younger than 17?" I forget her reply, but everyone behind us in line laughed. I turned around and announce "hey, I'll take it. Nothing wrong with keeping my youthful good looks."
[–]FLEABttn 45 points46 points47 points 3 months ago*
Used to be the guy that sold tickets. I'm terrible at guessing people's ages so if they looked anywhere in the ballpark of my age then, I carded them. Could I tell the difference between a 17 year old and a 25 year old? Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but guessing wrong as a ticket seller can really ruin your day, so it's best to err on the side of caution.
It would have been helpful had there been signs that said "we card under 40" because, while I'm sure you're a nice enough fellow, your average late teens to mid 20's person who gets carded is real asshole over corporate policy that I had no control over.
edits are my continuous corrections for poor grammar
[–]JackalsNose 25 points26 points27 points 3 months ago
I went to a R movie with my then girlfriend when I was 18 and she was 17. We got carded and the ticket woman told us you have to be 18 instead of 17 to watch an R movie without an adult that is some number of years older.
Didn't watch a movie that day either. As far as I know it still is 17 to see R movies but this woman didn't know anything.
[–]riomhaire 13 points14 points15 points 3 months ago
Surely as an 18 year old you qualified as the adult anyway?
[–]freelancer799 18 points19 points20 points 3 months ago
Why do people still buy tickets from the box office themselves? There are perfectly good kiosks inside that don't care what age you are, the only prerequisite is that you have a plastic card to insert so it can slurp your money
[–]dubyaohohdee 25 points26 points27 points 3 months ago

Buy a ticket to another movie that starts at near the same time. Then just go the movie you actually want to see.

When I first saw Return of the King, there was a fucking weird/spoiled rich girl in front of me, aged roughly 11, who had a gigantic pile of toy horses at her feet and on her lap. Best part is, she would loudly clop her feet to make galloping noises whenever she saw a horse on the screen; loudly and hoarsely screech-whispering "I LOVE HORSES OMG OMG" to her parents. (edited to add formerly neglected details)

Definitely this one. Was in the movie theatre with my best friend and a couple rows ahead of us was a guy who was being loud and obnoxious. I can't stand when people let alone talk in the movies and this guy was on the verge of yelling. So my patience ran out and I yelled "Dude, shut the fuck up!!". My friend then proceeded to tell me that the guy was obviously mentally challenged….and thats when I was sentenced to live in Hell.

When I went to the midnight screening of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a Christian group had infiltrated the theater and every once in a while one of them would get up and start shouting bible verses until they were escorted out. The theater was packed and there was no way of finding them all, so this went on through the entire movie. I hope at least one of them had never actually watched Harry Potter before and secretly enjoyed it.
[–]jaytrade21 120 points121 points122 points 3 months ago
I would love it if people would go to their Sunday sermon and do the same with HP quotes and other quotes from books they hate.
[–]twustwervy 39 points40 points41 points 3 months ago
I went to see King Kong with my family and couple rows in front of us (also a little bit to the left) there was this little shit flinging popcorn at the guy in front of him . After a while the little shit's drink spilled on the guy (not sure if it was actually intentional) and the guy went batshit insane. He turns around and starts beating the shit out of the kid and they both get told to leave.
It was pretty dark (being a cinema) so I'm not sure what happened after that. But, yeah, I was young enough to be simultaneously freaked and amused.
[–]awkward_armadillo 380 points381 points382 points 3 months ago*
A couple years back, I was on leave from the navy. I had gone home to visit with some old friends, and we decided to go see a movie. I don't remember which movie it was, but it was a matinee, in the middle of the afternoon. We had our seats, and we were the only ones there. About 30 minutes into it, a group of girls, probably no older than 14 came in and sat literally right behind us. They then proceed to be loud and obnoxious, we politely ask them to quiet down. Well, that didn't work, and they start to put their feet between the seats, right next to our faces. My buddy's are all super nice guy (read, SAP's), and doesn't say anything, I proceed to flip out. I'm yelling something, what exactly, I don't remember. What I DO remember is throwing one girls shoes across the theater, and emptying the contents of my large drink into her lap. They left, I was expecting a greeting from management, but nothing. So it didn't end so bad, we got to enjoy the rest of the movie.
Typos? On my phone.
edit: whoa! lotta flak! not that this makes it ANY better, but i was still like 18 and as immature as one could be. I promise I've grown up! :-)
[–]pajam 184 points185 points186 points 3 months ago
I first read that you couldn't remember the movie, but it was about a manatee. I'm thinking there can only be so many manatee movies, but then I realized you said it was a matinee.
[–]MbMn91 42 points43 points44 points 3 months ago
Fuck growing up: there's NOTHING I hate more at a movie theater then a gaggle of stupid teenage girls, hopping from one movie to another because they don't have anything else to do. I mean, they come in an hour into the movie, and don't even pretend to be watching it; they just sit and giggle while other people try to enjoy the movie they paid to see.
I have only once resorted to doing something, and this was after I'd told the management and they did nothing. I asked them to be quiet, and when they didn't, I dumped the remainder of my popcorn onto their heads as I walked out. Felt SO good. Yes, I'm probably a dick, and maybe it was an overreaction, but I have a serious love for movies and believe that for a lot of them, the ONLY proper way to see it is in a nice, big, QUIET theater. People who talk during movies, in my opinion, are just shitting all over art. Totally disrespectful.

I work at a movie theater, and I would have taken your side if those girls had come up. Teenage girls need to stay the fuck home from movies. Nobody wants their bright-as-the-fucking-sun phone screens lit up or them talking throughout the entire movie.
[–]Kielo_Van 56 points57 points58 points 3 months ago
It's not only teenage girls: anyone who does this is an ass-burger and needs to stay the hell away. Same with parents who bring their little kids and refuse to tell them to shut the hell up during the movie.

[–]pocketfrog77 196 points197 points198 points 3 months ago
I am a lesbian. Went to see "Boys Don't Cry" with my girlfriend. The theater was pretty empty. Just us and group of young teenage boys sitting a few rows behind us. At the pivotal scene where the main character is brutally raped, they started cheering. They weren't shouting, but they were loudly commenting about how she 'deserved it'. I wanted to murder them all. I swivelled my head around and glared hard. One of the boys saw me looking and laughed. He asked "Why you upset, you a dyke too?" I admit, I lost the intimidation game, after all there were 6 of them, all tough looking, and only 2 of us. So all we did was walk out. As we passed by them, they cat-called us. I should have spoken to the manager about it, but my gf wasn't out at the time, and didn't want to cause a scene. (We are both really shy people, and just wanted to go home.) To this day, I've never seen the ending of that film, because even seeing the jacket cover makes me feel the way I did then. Completely angry, humliated, and sad. I expect to get some downvotes for not fighting back harder, but it doesn't always work out that way. Sometimes all you want to do is go home and cry.
[–]Shortymcsmalls 36 points37 points38 points 3 months ago
Upvote, because sometimes it's better just to walk away. They were idiots, and nothing you could've done would have changed their perception. It's better to take the high road (even if you feel ashamed because you should have fought back) than sink to their level. Hopefully karma got them in the end.
[–]glutenfreeguy 22 points23 points24 points 3 months ago
As a straight american male teenager I can say that they were total jackasses, and the only type of people who would act that way are intolerant assholes. I get why you weren't going to make a scene, and I think it was smart to just be the better people, but homophobics who stay stuff like that make me sick. They really need to learn to just grow the fuck up.

This is seriously the best if you go in knowing what you'll be getting. I went and saw Up, and their were some hilarious moments. My favorite was when the old man finally reads the memory book. Right when he turns the page to see the end, this black lady screams "OOHH MAH GAWD" and starts crying.

I saw The Best Man with my now wife in 1999 in Times Square...they still hadn't built the nice theaters. So we get tix early, grab a bite and head back. Huge line outside -- all black, my gf black, me white. So my gf tells me to just cut the line since we had tix already and shouldn't have to go in last. I ask her how the hell am I supposed to cut? She tells me to blend ... yeah didn't try that. We get in the theater and the only two other white folk are two old ladies who must have gotten confused when they bought tickets. I go to buy popcorn and make eye contact with old whities and they nod to me like I will have their back if shit goes down. Surprisingly no one talked the entire move except me when i need to have CP Time defined for me.

I forget which black comedian it was but I remember seeing a skit a while back where he's talking about taking white friends to the movies and how black people like to talk during the movie. It went something along the lines of his white friends kept looking at him when people were talking.

I went to see Paranormal Activity 2 within a day or two of release and there was a black guy nearby.
Every time something freaky happened (e.g. the cupboard doors opening) he jumped and said something like 'oh shit!'.
The best part was saved for the end though, whilst the credits were rolling.
'Where's the theme music?' he asked, 'there's no theme music!'
Everyone left the screen almost dieing of laughter, much to the bemusement of the queue of people waiting to get in!
[–]JuicedCardinal 8 points9 points10 points 3 months ago
When my girlfriend and I saw Paranormal Activity 2, there was a black guy who jumped up about 3/4 through the movie and screamed "AWW FUCK THAT SHIT, FUCK THAT SHIT RIGHT THERE!" and ran toward the exit. He stopped at the door and just paced for a few seconds, still saying "fuck that, fuck that..." before returning to his seat.

When I was about 10, my mom took my brother and me to a predominantly black $1 theater to see Rookie of the Year. She left for an appointment, figuring we'd be safe in a crowded theater, which we were. Being two little white boys from a town with zero black people, we were completely unprepared for the theater-going experience.

my friend and i went to see harry potter and the deathly hallows: part 1 in the cinema and a woman for some reason thought it would be an appropriate movie for her 6 small children. so in this scene one of the kids gets scared by the snake and pisses himself. only sitting a few rows away from the group of children, my friend and i notice the smell immediately, however it took the woman at least 20 minutes to notice that one of her children had pissed in their seat. we could smell it for the rest of the movie

Went to see HP 7 part 1. Midnight release. I am a nerd, but I am also in my early 20's. The show was chock full of tweens. God damnit, every time anything happened it had the added soundtrack of "aahhhhhh." Example: when Doby died I didn't hear their last speech, I head the 100 girls next to us cry and shout, and about 10 min of dialogue was lost under the weight of their prepubescent yells.

Ugh, I know that feel, bro. Went to see it, entire cinema is filled with small children with stupid parents and girls. On one side of me, there's a five-year old who keeps screaming and crying over every little thing, on the other, two girls, who were on their fucking phones for the whole movie, constantly loudly taking about their boyfriends and shit. Every other group of people in the screening are exact duplicates of these people. When the snake killed someone, "OH MY GOD WAAAAA FUFSDUIHCNISHJUFIEHW". When Ron leaves, temporarily, "OH MY GOD WAAAAAAAAAA GO BACK RON HSDUIFNSAHFSHF". When Dobby dies, it was just absolute panda-fucking-monium. The looks on the Ushers' face was pitiable.

I knew I was in for a trip when The trailer for the new Little Red Ridding Hood movie came up. I started watching, think, this doesn't look terrible, and then I see FROM THE PRODUCERS OF TWILIGHT and I let out quite a sizable laugh. I had a glare of 500 eyes from very teenage girl in the theater.

Two middle school girls were texting, talking, and complaining all the way through Aranofsky's The Fountain. But I couldn't really complain too much because it at a dollar theater. And I get that they were probably waiting on parents or someone to pick them up, but still, if you didn't like the movie that much, why not just go chill in the lobby? There were plenty of people that wanted to watch in peace.

I'd been on this earth for 12 years, on my first ever date. I went to the bathroom to try to psych myself up to go in for the kiss. Because that's what people do on first dates at the movies, right?
Anyway, returning to our row, can't see my seat and put out my hands to fumble for the armrest and promptly put my entire hand in her Coke.
I sit quietly for the remainder of the movie, avoid her forever, and burn down the theater.

I went to go see 'the Grey' over the weekend and I went to this theater in the Ghetto of Bradenton, FL. Between the teenage couple getting busy a few seats down, some one yelling "OH SHIT" whenever the wolves came on screen, and these White Trash Rednecks harassing some poor black kid sitting by himself. It was pretty bad. I hate going to ghetto theaters, especially in Florida. These and Wal-mart are where all the weird people congregate.
[–]AwhMan 18 points19 points20 points 3 months ago*
Went to see the first Twillight film on opening night. I really didn't want to go but my boyfriend at the time coerced me because his friends wanted to go and he thought I should spend time with them.
Dear god. Not only was that film unbelievably bad but everytime Robert Patterson appeared on screen the whole theatre erupted in pre-teen screams. It was a nightmare.
Edit: Also on a me being a dumb ass shit note, when I was watching the second the last harry Potter movie there was a quiet moment and then BAM snake in the face (well, snake face coming at the screen). It startled me so bad I ended up throwing my drink and popcorn into the air, landing on everyone around me.... don't think I was that popular in the cinema :(

When I was 17 some friends and I thought it would be a great idea to take a bunch of cough medicine and go see a movie. About 20 minutes into "Man on the Moon" I vomitted all over myself. Worst part was, I was sitting in the front of the theater and it didn't have the exit doors by the screen, so I was forced into the ultimate puke covered walk of shame past the entire auditorium.

Well there's your problem. You're supposed to get the stuff that only contains DXM, none of the ones with expectorants (makes you puke). Watching 'Inception' while high on cough medicine was one of the best experiences.
Note: I do not condone misuse of cough medicine. It was fun and enjoyable the one time I did it, more than that I feel wouldn't be worthwhile.
[–]Melivora 31 points32 points33 points 3 months ago
In hindsight, this experience is fucking hilarious, but at the time I nearly cried. I used to be really scared of scary movies (I was maybe 13?) and the only one I'd actually watched in its entirety was the ring, which terrified me (relevant later on). I went to see the exorcism of emily rose in the cinema with mates, it'd been out for a while so my group were the only ones there (also relevant.)
When me and a mate went to use the bathroom (after that bit where she's lying on the floor screaming, all tense, I was bricking it), there was a girl in a long white dress sitting in the corner, hugging her knees and staring at us through curtains of long, black hair - the girl from the fucking rings TWIN.
When we went back, we went down the other aisle, and she'd MOVED, so we had to pass her again.
She was on the news, apparently she did it for funnies in a fair few cinemas.
tl;dr, the ring girl watched me watch a scary movie. Survived.

I was taking my youngest brother to see the 3rd Toy Story movie with his friend. I lined up the day before and bought tickets. We then lined up for 30 minutes before the movie, my brother was very excited, we got to the door and the ticket checker told us that the tickets they had sold the day before where actually after the movie had been sold out and that we could not watch the movie.

Went to see Sucker Punch and some asshole wouldn't shut up during the movie and even started playing music off his cellphone. Someone reported his behavior and a cop who worked security there pulled the guy out. The guy then, in front of the cop, threatened the person who reported him.
And then there was the movie.

Bitch in a bright orange outfit (complete with big hat) was yelling at the "Bourne Supremacy" the entire film and the ushers never hauled her out. Meanwhile, the dude behind me was getting a loud blowjob from his girlfriend.

Don't go to the movies much. Had the funniest movie experience Friday, though, if that counts?
Went to go see the Woman in Black. After seeing the scene where the ghost hangs herself from the nursery ceiling, a teenaged girl stands up, proclaims, "This shit is cray" and walks out.
Made my day.
[–]tenkadaiichi 35 points36 points37 points 3 months ago
I went to see "Hero" with my cousin as I was staying at her place for a couple days in a reasonably remote town. Being remote, it has a much higher population of rednecks than I am used to.
Now, if you haven't seen "Hero" with Jet Li, you really should. It's a beautiful tale told in flashbacks, giving different accounts of a series of events, coming closer and closer to a terrible outcome. It's also entirely in Chinese with English subtitles.
A few teenagers came in (late) and sat in front of us, then proceeded to loudly comment to one another about how confused they were. Having to read words on the screen was an unfathomable burden upon them, and the separate flashbacks telling different stories confused them completely. "Didn't that guy die already? What's going on!" along with taking phone calls during the movie, etc.
Eventually, finally, they walked out, I think to crash into another movie where they didn't have to read things. I was thrilled, but a good 80% of the movie had been ruined for me. Curse my Canadian politeness and not harping at them.
[–]ParadigmShift013 11 points12 points13 points 3 months ago
I saw this happen way back when I saw Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence on a limited theater release in my town. Luckily, no one ruined the experience for me, but I did watch a big fat redneck family entourage come in about 10 minutes late, and sit a few rows in front of me. Within about 20 minutes, they looked terribly put off by all the reading. The entire family got up and left.
[–]HornyVervet 8 points9 points10 points 3 months ago
I'm not sure the filmmakers would consider it a "terrible outcome". My interpretation was that he realized that the good of the state was worth more than one man's life. They had already established that he could turn back volleys of arrows and was pretty much invincible and he only died because he allowed himself to be killed.
[–]eatsnobananas 60 points61 points62 points 3 months ago
I'd have to say either the small group of people who kept laughing uncontrollably during Children of Men.
Or, the worst experience ever. I got offered to go to a screener for 500 Days of Summer, and hearing it was fun, decided to go.
The theater was packed. I haven't seen a theater that packed since Episode II came out. It was the biggest theater in the AMC24 and it was filled to the brim. (FORESHADOWING: We can't move seats!) We managed to avoid the front row by sitting in the top row 3rd and 4th from the edge. We had a nice couple sitting next to us, and things were great.
The nice couple got up and left for reasons beyond memory and were replaced about two minutes later with a gay guy and his fag hag. The gay dude was fine, but the big ugly fag hag was the bane of my fucking existence for the next two hours.
After they sat down and was cackling and annoying for a few minutes she told her gay friend, "I'm gonna get some food, do you want any?" I don't know how she fucking did it, but five minutes later, she came back with a three-item combo, soup and drink from the Chinese restaurant in the mall.
People smacking popcorn can be annoying, but there's something unbearably about watching a basement dweller attempt to use chopsticks on a styrofoam plate resting on her gut. Then she drank her soup like an excited five-year-old who discovered that Cocoa Puffs make chocolate milk.
Then she decided that it was her job to enjoy her theater experience verbally. Every line from the preview was quoted followed by cackling, "They call me anal-girl, because I'm very anal-retentive! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!". Every sad scene had an audible, "AWWW! That's so sad!", the stupid song and dance scene in the middle of the movie (I think he got laid, I can't remember) had her approval with, "OH MY GOD! THIS IS SO BRILLIANT! THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME MOVIE SCENE EVER!"
My pleas for her to shut the fuck up were shot down with passive-aggression and I didn't want to complain about my free movie, because complaining for someone to be kicked out of a free movie felt like a douche move.
tl;dr - I was stuck next to a Wildebeest in a theater. She smacked Chinese food and gave a running commentary.

My mother and I went to a movie as a special treat (we were broke and my parents had just announced they were divorcing, so my mom was trying to give all of us special one on one time). This groups of tweens (who were my age at the time) were behind us screaming, chattering loudly, throwing popcorn, kicking chairs, and actually pulled my mother's hair. My mom, understandably in this situation, had little patience and told them to move or get out. The tweens got up and moved to the front where they continued their antics even more loudly, disrupting the movie for everyone even more than they had before. My mom got up, left, got and usher, then proceeded to march in with the usher to the front and YELL at the kids for being "rude, disrespectful bastards that needed to leave if they wanted to bullshit and ruin the movie for people who care." The usher then ushered them out and the auditorium cheered for my mom. As a tween, I was mortified. As a decent person, I was overjoyed.

Saw I Am Legend in Nigeria. Despite being black, I never understood the "you guys are loud in theatres" stereotype as I've always been polite and quiet. But the loud, obnoxious black person sitting behind you in Nigeria actually happens to be the whole audience.
A lot can be saId for cultural differences here: I'm quite familiar with the outspokenness of Africans from interactions with family, family friends and such, but experiencing this in the context of a theatre was offputting. Also the cinema had an intimidating abundance of armed guards for what reason I cannot imagine. All in all, the worst moviegoing experience, but I'm glad I have the perspective of experiencing this in a different way.

Let's just say it started out like this. G/F and I were crossing the street from the parking garage to get to the MASSIVE movieplex building. As we're waiting to cross, a minivan pulls up in front of us, and EIGHT screaming, obnoxious, loud, uncouth tweens and teens evacuate this vehicle like some kind of evil clown car. Then the minivan literally chirps rubber as it speeds away into the night and this group of shitdick kids is left unsupervised at the movies.
The night only got worse. Suffice to say, I heard more of the conversation between this girl and her BFF, Shatice, about this bitch in her English class than I did the dialogue in "the strangers"
Sad part was, complaints WERE made to the staff. THe ushers came into the theater FOUR TIMES, looked around at the literally dozens of open and lit cell-phones, and then just walked right back out. To be fair, we're I in their shoes, I would've just said "fuck it" and walked back out too.

I just got out of a very very difficult relationship with a very abusive girl, Carrie. After weeks of depression I met a sweet girl called Julie. We arranged a date.
We went to the cinema on a busy Saturday night and there were only a few seats left so Julie went on ahead a saves the seats while I brought the popcorn and drinks. I enter the theatre and look around and see something awful. Carrie is there. With her new boyfriend. And she's sat next to Julie. Fuck!
So I head towards my seat and Carrie looks towards me and we make eye contact. At that exact moment the lights go down and the shit hits the fan. Carrie stands up and shouts "Fuck you!" and proceeds to throw an extra large coke at me. She completely misses and the coke rains down on about 20 different people. They're obviously not happy. A girl begins to cry because her date has been ruined and her cage fighter date/boyfriend is seriously unhappy. He stands up and begins shouting at Carrie, meanwhile poor Julie is sat there right next to the crazy woman scared shitless about what's happening.
Carries date stands up and begins yelling at the guy yelling at Carrie. A sassy black woman, covered in coke, begins giving the lip to Carrie. Carrie is ignoring this and just yelling at me bring up shit from the past. I just want to get out of there. I gesture to Julie to get up and come with me. As she's walking down the isle towards me, cage fighter pushes her over to get to Carrie's date. Thney begin brawling and everyone is screaming and shouting. Sassy black girl is now pulling Carries hair and gettig into a cat fight. Some fucking idiot in the back yells "RIOT" and throws his drink and popcorn over everyone.
Security come running in and I get knocked over. I end up hitting my head on a step and I'm out cold. I wake up in a back of an ambulance on my way to hospital to deal with my damaged head. Julie is with me, she's got a fractured leg, and she says that the police came and half the audience were arrested and 4 people died.
Our second date went a lot better.

Myself, my best friend, and both our little brothers were going to see TMNT 3. My friend's mom dropped us off at the movie theater and was going to pick us up at the end. We get our tickets and get to our seats with plenty of time. Between the ads and the start of the previews, a movie theater employee comes in and mumbles something to the audience and a few people get up and leave. We had no idea what he said and really didn't care at the time, because come on, we're like 11 and about to watch a TMNT movie. The previews come and go, and the movie starts. We slowly start to realize something is amiss when 20 minutes in, there has still been no sign of mutated animals and the movie is revolving around a spunky 10 year old black kid and his cop buddy. We were too timid to get up and leave(and not to mention we would have already missed a big chunk TMNT3), so we just sit there and dejectedly watch the entirety of Cop and a Half.

Lord of the Rings, 1: Went to the local theater on the last week of the theatrical release, on a Wednesday at 8pm. We were the only folks there. (Rapture!). About an hour into it, a family of Large People showed up. He in a mullet, she had a kind of mullet too, and two too-young children. It was too dark to check their mullet states. Maybe ages 7 and 9. It was a school night, after all.
And, of course, they sat on our row, blocking us in. They then proceeded to consume Mass Quantities of very noisy food. Because they missed the first hour, there were many (loud) cries of “what’s that? What the hell is that?”. About half an hour before the film ended, they left and went to the lobby to play video games.
[–]frodokun 8 points9 points10 points 3 months ago
Lord of the Rings 2: we went with a group of friends on opening night, at another theater about 15 miles away. We sat in the back row so nobody annoying would be behind us. Little did we know that at the end of our row a guy with a bag of pistachios had set up shop. A solid hour and a half of “crinkle crinkle crinkle; Snap; crunch, chew-smack-chew, rattle rattle”. The last rattles were the pistachio shells hitting the floor. As expected, the rattling got louder and longer as more and more shells accumulated on the floor. Turns out this guy was hard of hearing, as was his wife. So once Gollum showed up on screen, the refrain of “what the hell is that?” “I dunno, what the hellis that?” was frequently heard.
Lord of the Rings 3: My friend didn’t believe me when I said I’m cursed. We saw the third LotR movie in his part of the world, about 50 miles away from home. He had us sit in the middle of the theater. “Yay! I might be able to enjoy a movie for once!”. But no. Right before the previews started, a father and young son set up shop behind us. The boy was one of those open-mouth chewers who could extract the maximal amount of noise from one piece of popcorn, and he had one of the 30 pound jumbo bags. I could only stand an hour of it until I turned around and asked him to chew with his mouth closed. He also had large fizzy drinks. In fact, he had two of them, and spilled them both. We had to keep our feet up on the seats in front of us, lest we get sticky feet.
Lord of the Rings, Symphony: Howard Shore, the composer of the LoTR sound tracks, was on a tour conducting his “Lord of the Rings Symphony”. He came to our town, so we went, with good tickets on the rim of the “family circle”. The rows were just four seats across, and along the side of the auditorium, with the orchestra-section seating on the floor below us.
Behind us was a gum-chewer. All through the first half I heard “chomp smack SNAP POP smack smack”, including lots of loud pops during Gollum’s Song, my favorite part. On the floor below us was a family of five: two oblivious parents and three young boys doing the “stop touching me you’re touching me” routine. Luckily the gum babe left at halftime. But she was replaced with a guy with a mohawk who sat in front of us. That guy was the most well-behaved individual of the evening. I wanted to hug him, but I feared for my eyes getting poked out.
