Just because someone was there and didn't see the bad behaviour doesn't mean it didn't happen.ejwrank wrote:Well if the cinema cannot turn the lights off then it is not fit to call itself a cinema and the screening should have been postponed. Of course people shouldn't threaten staff but from what yogi said and yogi was there, this did not happen. It seems far too many cinemas seem incapable of showing a film properly and people have every right to complain about that.
As for calling 'mature' people at Times and Telegraph behaving disgracefully, The Sparrow, I haven't seen any of that at the two Telegraph screenings I have been to recently. Everyone behaved politely and gratefully in spite of the terrible Millbank cinema which is the only disgrace I witnessed. It is uncomfortable, terrible sound, awful sightlines and it's painted white so the cinema is never dark.
Recently, at different cinemas including Printworks, I have witnessed disgraceful behaviour by people who should know better. Some people have a sense of entitlement and think because they are older, then can get away with it.
Besides the instance cited, I have seen three pairs of older people walk into a scheduled film and when told they should wait outside for the preview, they said " it doesn't matter, nobody cares, nobody bothers". Well what about the people who had pa*d to see that film, they matter and they care and why should they have 6 people walk in and disturb them? When the rude people were ejected, some of them verbally abused the staff member.
You think cinemas break things deliberately just to inconvenience those who go to free previews? Things break and parts are needed, but even so, it is hardly the fault of the staff is it?
