Re: Latecomers to screenings and other cinema nuisances
Anyone been to a preview screening at Cineworld Wandsworth? I found it very strange. Security made everyone turn off their phones at the door (and they all turned them right back on once they got inside) and would literally go running if they saw someone so much as check the time. It was very disruptive.
I understand the need to combat piracy, and maybe they've been having problems in the past, but the guard was very patronizing towards me, and really was incredibly disruptive during the film if someone even went to check the time.
