Why is the cinema an irritating experience these days?

Whenever youths are making trouble during a film in our local cinema, I walk up to them, grab them by the scruff of their neck and throw them out the fire exit. That usually stops any further bad behaviour from any other youths and works every time.

Nowadays I don't really bother with the cinema, though I think I'm probably overly irritable when it comes to things like that. I get annoyed at even the slightest bit of talking during a film or a bright phone screen somewhere in my field of vision.

I think you missed the point about him being cool enough to not have to go to the cinema because he has 'the internet'...

Peasant, my spelling is atrocious and I have to rely on a firefox extension

But I still had to correct a mistake that you made as well

So went to the cinema this afternoon, to see a 15 rated film. Got a load of kids behind us who were being loud and wanted the whole cinema to know they were not old enough to see the film.

Through the adverts they were being loud, shouting to people sitting on the other side of the cinema despite being in the same group and generally being irritating. The film began and I turned around and asked if I can expect them to talk through the whole film. This shut them up for a while, but there was still the occasional talking, whispering and shrieking (it was a horror film) which was still distracting.

This seems to becoming all the more common when I go to the cinema. I can't work out if it's because the ID'ing has become relaxed or if kids/people generally think it's acceptable to talk during the films. Obviously you can't expect people to be totally silent as that's unreasonable, but it's extremely irritating and distracting.

Other than kicking off at them and causing a scene or grassing them up to the cinema staff (who let's face it will probably do very little), there are few options in a situation like this. Combined with the cost of going to the cinema and my experiences of late, it's becoming less appealing

Been like this as long as I can remember. It's always been a rip-off and a crap way to watch a film to be honest.

At least in this country... Cinemas I've been to in Asia were awesome. :cool:

Going to the cinema makes you a peasant?

Somebody did not get the joke..

Just complain to an usher and they get security and you get a free ticket... easy

In the main they're ok but you can get some utter tards.

Also as I get older I'm starting to get more and more irritated by people who rustle their sweet bags.

I have seen the police come into our cinema before, took out about 10 kids from the front. No idea why, I guess they didn't pay.

Well thanks for that, I was merely inquiring in case 'peasent' is within a new meme that may be floating around this over sized military plaything.

Yes. Everyone knows the middle class has enough money to just pay the actors to perform the film in their own personal movie room.

Doubtful. Fire alarm would go off and the movie would stop.

I haven't been to a cinema in years, and I don't intend to. Horrible places.

Adam · 21 May 2011 at 19:59

Some fair points raised in this thread. My experience of the deluxe/upgraded has infact been better. The only problem is that not all films are shown in the upgraded screens. The film I saw today (Insidious) had been out for some time. I normally go on a Saturday afternoon as I work long hours Monday to Friday so the timing could be related as well.

The cinema isn't in the nicest area but it's quite a smart Empire cinema, I have been going there for years (15+ years) and it's only recently that this has started to happen.
