Cinema

I know there has probably been a thread about this before but I wish people going to the cinema would be quiet!

I went to Sex In the City yesterday it was a 5pm showing and there were only about 30 people in total who came to see the film so hardly anyone there. A couple a few rows away thought it would be funny to purposefully rustle their food bags just as the film was about to start and then say 'it was him it was her' how childish and very boring.

Why do people have to behave this way in cinemas?

No doubt it was boredom from watching such a dire, boring, dull, pretentious, pile of crap excuse for a film

I hate the couples (usually elderly) who insist on telling each other what the characters on-screen are saying/doing.

Why did they pay to see it then? no one forced them and also it had not even started

Yes had one of those too and they were not elderly
Another female kept making wow and oooh noises everytime Carrie put on a new out fit!

And they wonder why people download films to watch at home.

This is why I go to films a few weeks after they come out, so the screen's nice and empty. If only I could do the same at the theatre...

In most cases it has nothing to do with this issue.

This is an email responce to an email I had sent to head office for Odean Cinemas and my further reply:

Dear xxxx,

Thank you for your email regarding ODEON Kingston.

I am very sorry to hear that you are becomming increasingly uspet by the behaviour of other's in the cinema. I can assure you that our team members complete screen checks every 20 minutes. During these checks they are on the look out for guests using mobile telephones, making noise and generally disturbing other guests. However I am afraid that some times we are unable to catch guests behaving in this way as we cannot have team members in the screens at all times. I will ensure that your concern is passed onto my team and that they are being more vigilant when completing their checks.

Also thank you for the link you included in your email, it is very intresting and I have shared it with the management team. We will review it on a regular basis.

Once again thank you for your email,

Kindest Regards,

Thanks for your reply. However, in all the years I've been going to Kingston cinema, in whichever screen I am seeing a film, I have never seen a team member coming into the screen to make a check. Now I realise there are 14 screens to monitor which would make it difficult, but often there isn't even a staff member in the corridor outside the screens at the desk. When I was watching The Green Zone a few weeks ago the projectionist hadn't turned the lights off in the screen so I had to go all the way downstairs to the ticket collector to ask her to get the idiotic projectionist to turn off the lights so we could watch the film properly.



My views on 'the cinema experience' are increasingly becoming more common. Which is why pirating videos is also on the increase.

I sympathise. Some people are just ignorant. We were at the cinema on Saturday morning. When the lights went up and we went to leave I saw a huge mess on the floor on the next section of seats. Drinks spilled, popcorn all over - crushed into the carpet, wrappers and containers thrown on the floor. It was two chavvy adults and their kids who left more mess in 4 seats than the rest of the cinema combined.

Some people are just pillocks.
