Latecomers to screenings and other cinema nuisances

[valda]

Hope this isn't going too far off topic but people will bring fast, greasy, smelly food anywhere. Man in hospital across from husband had KFC brought in to him -- talk about revolting when you are feeling poorly!

Gross! I can't stand it on the tubes or anywhere unless I'm eating it at home.

Some girls brought chicken and chips to the theatre once, then the man next to them wen't out and got a burger and chips. Luckily once the ushers tracked them down, they were made to eat outside

A friend sent me this link re code of conduct at cinema - which I think is spot on.

lol especially funny the 'no talking, no one has pa*d £8-50 to hear your directors commentary'.
I'd agree with pretty much all that, though I have no problem with covert slurps and crunching (ie when the movie volume is so high no one can hear you munch - on the downside if you time things wrong then you end up with cheekfuls of crisps you can't swallow or chew for a whole 10 minute quiet scene).

Suck 'em

I don't understand why most cinema chains don't invest in the plastic popcorn holders that Urban Outfitters seem to stock It would make everyones lives a lot simpler!

To be fair,Cineworld do have those plastic cups too but for the pic n mix I think.

I don't go near either.

As I follow a strict diet, if you are lucky enough to sit next to me at a screening you may have to endure me eating turkey and rice or sweet potato and steak. Now I bet that would be a first for you all.

why the heck would anyone have diner at the cinema anyway

I have six meals a day spaced out every 3 hours so if this happens to fall during film time...

I'm just here to stir really....... but i hate previews that start at 630pm - how inconsiderate? i dont get home from work until 530, then have to rush my tea, then get changed, then jump in the car drive to the film, park up, run to the cinema (as i'm too tight to p*y for nearby parking) then barge past all the people who have arrived on time for the screening, spilling pop corn on them as i go.

PS
It also annoys me when people comment on me rustling whatever snacks i have sneaked in, and my can of pop.
a mans gotta eat. its been an hour since my tea

I'm pretty sure my physiotherapist hates me because I keep getting last minute preview tickets for Monday evenings and have to leave early or reschedule. It's not easy to get from Royal Oak to Shaftesbury Avenue for 6:30! And I NEED MY TANGO ICE BLAST TO SURVIVE!!!!!

Especially if you run from your cheap parking spot, and put everything out of place that they've just fixed.
hey so what if you're in therapy for an extra 6 months, as long as you get that TANGO ICE BLAST

PS I spoke to your physio, they said hate is a strong word to use, its more of a strong dislike

A Tango Ice Blast is better than any physiotherapy ever.

I had some idiot sitting in front of who was wearing a woolly hat. The big woolly bobble made it difficult to read the subtitles of Pan's Labyrinth. So I politely told her about the intrusive bobble. Jeez! the look I got,I'm surprised I'm still alive to tell the tale. Instead of removing her stupid hat, she slunk down in her seat.
