Now
if you have been reading a lot of this site you will have
figured out already that this site is a bit of a rant against
much of the annoying things about the movies. And so it goes
with this page which is all about the little things that annoy
you when you are at the Cinema!
First
of doesn't it just make your blood boil when you are sat down,
nice and warm , drink in hand, eating your popcorn enjoying
the movie and the berk two rows down from you's mobile phone
goes off! It does me and even more when it's not just any
old ringing tone, oh no he has to have Ride Of The Valkyries
or some other boombastic supercilious self important tosser
nonsense.Why don't they get a vibrating pager or mobile instead.
Oh
yeah, here is another one, people who talk through movies,
aargh, I remember when I saw Interview With The Vampire a
long time ago. Boy had I waited for that movie for a long
long time and I was sitting there just soaking up the atmosphere
on the screen. There were two giggly girlies behind me who
had been yacking right through the trailers. Now this doesn't
bother me as verybody does that, hey I do it to. Now I expected
them to shut up during the movie, but oh no they didn't. Fifteen
minutes later and they were still yap yap yapping and I was
getting more and more wound up by them and I was finding it
nigh impossible to hear what was being said on screen. Well
as you can guess I HAD to turn round and tell the to shut
up! Needless to say my wife wasn't impressed and she proceeded
to nag me for the rest of the movie. So I lost out both ways!
But to be serious why do people talk through movies? Why even
go?
Also
poor sound quality and picture quality. Thankfully this is
one the wane nowadays with the virtual death of the old flea
pit cinema's. But it still happens. We went to see Gladiator,
and our enjoyment was utterly ruined as the sound was mono!
Was totally weird all the atomospheric sound effects sounding
weak and flat.The ushers didn't do anything about it either,
was too bummed out about it at the end we didn't even ask
for our money back.
People
who eat noisily during a movie too, sure I love a bit of grub
at a movie, same as the next one, but when you get someone
who insists on belching and burping after every swig it puts
you right off your enjoyment of the movie.
I'm
sure there are lots more annoying things at the movies and
if you can think of some more then send them in!
