Those Movie Monsters In Front of the Big Screen

9. Laughing too loud
Talk about taking the fun out of a good joke. It's okay. Relax. Everybody got the punch line. There's no need to stress the obvious and let out a blaring guffaw. Sometimes there are those who even explain the scene out loud and why it's so funny. Sheesh. Give those hyenas the stink eye, be my guest.

10. Noisy munching and eating smelly food
Blocking out two distractions at the same time is no easy feat, so pity to the unfortunate seatmate who has to endure these assaults to the senses. Hang in there, buddy. It too shall pass. Soon, the chips will be gone and you'll get used to the stench eventually. If not, let one rip and innocently bask in all your glorious flatulence. Right back at them. *wink!*

    1) Those ushers/guards who flashes their flashlights on your face.

    2) Those cinema personnels who let you in the cinema at the middle of the movie, then escorts you out at the end of the movie, telling you that it is a single screening movie... Grrrr

    3) Snoring sleepers

    4) Those uses the cinema to hook up and look for flings and easy sex

    5) Those technical problems: movie cut off, sounds off, brownout. Then, the scene is important. ampf.

    6) TV crews outside cinema asking for your opinion on the movie

    7) Moviegoers with BO (and strong perfume)

    8) Tepid audience. The scene is funny but no one is laughing. The scene is scary but no one is shouting in horror. Come on!

    9) Those who have watched the movie and loudly say what happen next.

    10) Those using their gadgets in the cinema. (cellphone, ipod, itouch, psp, ds lite), thosw small lights are attention grabbers.

    kids in cinemas are especially annoying, especially when their parents can't even ask their spawns to behave and shut up.

    sadly, i haven't encountered a wanker inside a cinema.

    I've scolded some miscreants at a screening of The Dark Knight. They were talking non-stop! So, me, at boiling point, told them, “Hey, if you want to chit-chat go to Starbucks.” Some people just don’t have manners. It’s a shame, really!

    I wonder why parents would bring small children to such movies as Transformers, etc. It's hard enough to keep them from watching violent films/shows in TV, but to bring them in theaters... I'd rather endure countless replays of Barney than bring my child to movies that are not really for kids.

    Mr. Nice Guy, this isn't global warming or the dumbing down of public discourse. It's keeping your trap shut in a movie theater. Not everybody yaks during "Transformers: The Revenge of the Mindless Sequel", no matter how undeserving of respect that movie may be.

    I put my phone on silent and keep my inner monologue where it belongs--in my innards. I know many other people who do the same. These people have what is commonly referred to as "manners".

    Everyone is guilty. EVERYONE.

    I once picked a fight with this group of 14-year-old boys who kept making st*p*d remarks out loud, as if saying, "We're too good for this movie."

    They would mimic our laughter five seconds after everyone was done laughing. They would shout sarcastic lines whenever people would gasp in the action/fright scenes.

    When I couldn't take it anymore, I kicked their seats and screamed, "Shut up, you juveniles!" Then after the movie, I told them, "I know it's your first time to get out of your all-boys school and you're trying to be cool. Why don't you just go home to your moms, you juveniles!!"

    That felt so good.
