Cinema Rage... joining the long list of 'rages' currently available in England (Road, Commuter, Pub, Televison, Supermarket Rage, add what you want, etc, etc... yawn) - I think it came out around the time of the first LOTR - when some chap got beaten up when he complained that someone was making too much noise during the film.
Last night I went to see The Village at my local Odeon, and it was ruined practically all the way through by two teenage girls in-front of us chatting and laughing. I told them to shut up and so did my boyfriend, but to no avail. They quietened down a little towards the end, otherwise it probably would have all kicked-off because I was about to swear loudly at them at one stage. I had had a stressful day at work, and I wanted to enjoy a film, and two prats had to spoil it for me. Is that too much to ask? :roll:
So - this is the place to let off steam about your bad Cinema trips - personally I think they should ban bags that rustle even a little - now they even sell Walker's Sensations (humungous packets of crisps) as if to encourage the worse offenders! As with one time - when we went to see LOTR (funnily enough) and a father and his family not only opened a multipack of crisps, but started to pass a packet down the row to each one of his nineteen children. Fortunately a bloke in the audience proceeded to shout at the him to 'Shut the f**k up' regardless that his swearing might offend the youngsters' ears. Good on him I say!
Rant over. I might add that my ideal film watching environment would be me, on my own, with no distractions at all. Impossible, I know. Until I buy my first 3 million pound home and soundproof the walls.
Any cinema rage stories would be good. I could go on, but I won't bore anyone further. . .Like the time a boy threw a piece of chocolate at my head during 'A.I.' Cinemas in the UK are dangerous places - battlefields! - I'm telling ya! :D
