Your pet hates at the Cinema.

[WetPaint]

What things annoy you at the cinema? A friend of mine is doing an essay for his GCSE’s and needs to gather some opinions about problems with cinemas.

Things like people’s phones going off or eating their popcorn too loudly etc.

The more nuanced, the better though. Give the examiner something else to read about rather than people chatting and high priced drinks.

Thanks a lot.

My pet hates at the cinema when she has to buy the expensive dog biscuits at the counter and isnt allowed to take her own in!

It's insanely expensive.

if you want a snack, they insist you buy theirs which is insanely expensive.

You have to sit with other people.

They spend all the film pushing past to have a slash.

The quality of the sound / projection is usually terrible.

and it's insanely expensive.

Rustling fking wrappers. Those people doing their "I'm tring to be quiet, so I'll dig for a sweet really, really slowly" so that they prolong the noise as long as possible.

Everyone else who goes, and everything that they do. Oh and the seats, sticky floors and concessions stands.

Other people.

Why would anyone want to watch telly with a bunch of randoms?

[FloppyRaccoon]

The price of food and drink, and people sitting in the wrong seats are the only things I can think of.

Though not really that bothered as I just don't go to the cinema any more. I'll wait for the DVD or even 'till it's on the box.
I can start the film when I want. Pause it if necessary. Watch it in my dressing gown. Eat what I like. Have a few beers. It's such an easy decision.

This. They "eat" with such disgusting manners it makes me sick. But then I will say I almost dropped a bloke at the Phantom of the Opera but after I had a word he was better.......

I used to quite like the Midnight showing where only 2-3 people would be in the cinema with us. But then with the price of the tickets and food you can wait and buy the blu-ray and some drinks/popcorn and sit in your nice warm house with your dogs and your couch, and you can pause it if you want the loo etc...

For me, and this goes for Sky TV as well, it's that I've paid to go and see a film. Why do I have to watch adverts? Fair enough if there were a couple which were related to the film, but 15 minutes? ps off.

The stupid and excessive menu choices on offer.
Couple of things:
1) It's a cinema, not a fking restaurant so try having dinner before you go see a fillum. And if you must stuff yer face:
2) Choose wine gums or marsh mallows or something. Nothing in a wrapper, and nothing crunchy like those stupid sodding tortilla chip things, bloody rustly popcorn or slurpy drinks through a straw.
