What annoys you at the movies?

[KSUViolet06]

My opinion:

If it is NOT a kids movie, leave your kids at home.

Don't have a sitter?

Then don't go to the movies. Go do something that they can do with you--without annoying the crap out of other patrons.

Yeah, you can say that again.

Saturday.

Wolverine.


The annoying older lady 2 seats down, saying the following:

"Oh my word." about 6 times

"Oh no" countless times.

"OmyGodOmyGodOmyGod...he is going to kill him" at every fight scene.


At the end of the movie chastising the kids by saying "I thought you said that was a KID'S MOVIE!!"

IT WAS PG 13 FOR PETE'S SAKE AND YOUR KIDS LOOKED OLD ENOUGH TO HANDLE IT!!!

Don't blame THEM because YOU couldn't!

Well PG13 doesnt equal kids movie these days. Obsessed was PG13 but it wasn't a kids movie.
Speaking of PG13 movies that aren't kids movies one of my movie pet peeves is when people bring their kids to see movies that arent age appropriate.
During American Violet a huge group of little ones came in (with ONE adult who looked like he was the "camp counselor" or after school program leader). It was already 20 minutes into the movie. Of course they did all the talking and shhh-ing. Then after they'd talked through many parts of the movie and about 6 threats from camp counselor dude he follows through on his threat to make them leave for talking during the movie. Then they file out row by row (talking) and he says "Shhhh, We'll just have to catch it another time."

My other pet peeve is when they don't clean the floor. I remember one time the b/f and I went to the movies and when we got up to leave we had to peal/rip our feet off of the floor because it was so sticky.

The word isn't inconsiderate, it's selfish. Rude, self-serving, and selfish.

And I hate sticking to the floor, too. The boy hates when I give someone "the look", but he certainly appreciates it when people turn their cell phones off after I make a loud comment about being raised by wolves.

Outright laughter at the talker works, too. Mostly with a comment about why you're laughing at them. There was probably a 15 year old boy sitting behind us when we went to see Taken and he answered his cell phone (which I think was set to vibrate). After he called the caller "mommy" most of the people around him started outright mocking him. He took the call outside and didn't come back.
