OT: worst movie theater experiences
i'm in the mood for a good laugh so i figure i'd start one of these threads again.
my worst theater experience was when i went to go see Spiderman 3 in a theater. well of course some dumb guy starts talking on his phone right when the lights go down and the thing starts.
after awhile a guy behind him gets tired of it and asks him to stop. the guy on the phone basically said "fuck off" and then the guy behind LEAPS into the row and takes the guy's phone from him. Then they start fighting, in the aisle, food and drinks are going everywhere and women are screaming.
It took the staff about 5 minutes to take control of the place. it was crazy. everyone got their money back.
share yours below.
Someone noticed I was wearing jorts one time, never again!
I went to see a Harry Potter movie with a girl I was dating. On top of already not liking Harry Potter, the people in the audience were extremely loud and annoying during the movie. Constant talking over it and whatnot. I pull out my phone with the light dimmed almost all the way, send one text message and an usher comes up to me and says if I pull out my phone again I'm going to be asked to leave the theater. It ticked me off.
Your story was much more entertaining.
Projectionist skipped a reel!
Couldn't see the screen anyway for the fog
*Harbor
Drive-ins on the coast of Maine are a bad idea for those reasons; fog and an absurd amount of weed.

Indeed. If she truly cared about you, it would be a handy. That way you could actually watch the movie you paid for. I mean come on.

Agreed, however, if she truly, truly, truly, cared she would have done the chickenhead, that way you could not only watch the film, but not have to talk to her, and enjoy two climaxes.

"I'm gonna git you sucka"
Far from a great movie, but it had some moments:

And, of course:
To think we will be on our third Spiderman lead within a decade...
Asa Butterfield say hello!
At this point they might as well throw out Peter Parker and use Miles Morales instead on the big screen. It's getting ridiculous.

That sounds like an awesome expierence e to me, OP
Yeah as a guy who is capable of appreciate romcom's, that movie was terrible.
My wife and I went to a show one time. These 2 ladies came to the show late and sat next to us. The perfume stench they brought with them was like the play perfume little girls get, it was horrendous. It didn't take long for the rows arond them to clear out. Of course I thought I was saying something internally but it was really out loud. Something to the effect of "What the hell stinks?"
or a BJ that went horribly wrong?
If it was Scary Movie 2-5. Bullets would've been acceptable so people could get their money back.
"Titanic" came out during my sophomore year at Michigan, so on the first night - not willingly - I was dragged to this movie by a few people I knew who wanted to give it "a fair shot" being that they were fans of Cameron's work. As we sat down a few moments before the previews began, a few girls - probably 12 or 13 - came in and sat in the row in front of us. One of them, in apparent seriousness, asked if this movie was set against a true story.
Naturally, we assumed that everyone knew that - yes indeed - the Titanic did in fact sink in April 1912, so we lean forward and tell them, "No, you see, in the real story they are rescued by Apache choppers just in time." The remainder of the exchange was something like this:
"Really? Cool."
*facepalm*
Then the movie actually began...
*also facepalm*

Iron Man 3 was a piece of shit.
there used to be a theatre on south university about a block and a half west of where it crosses washtenaw avenue (yeah, i know, things have changed and i am old). the lines for that movie were incredible, literally blocks long down south university and turning and heading down whatever that next cross street was.
anyway, one of our house mates, an unnamed football player, is working at a lumber yard about 40 minutes from AA. that was just about enough time to finish 5 of the 6 beers that come in a six pack on his way home. he had to drive past these lines to get to the house. and you have to envision a very large human in very small brown vega station wagon.
so every evening/afternoon we could hear our house mate drive by the theatre, and from a block and half away you could clearly make out his voice yelling, 'the alien dies and comes back to life!'
Dating myself here, but I remember seeing ET in that very theatre. I don't remember the footbal player in the Vega, though. Fortunate timing, I guess.
I was there 1979 to 1983 and I can't for the life of me remember where that theater was. Was it on the same side of the street as Flipper McGee's? or the Brown Jug?
maybe halfway b/w charlie's and village corners (now gone also...)
and 1974, our buddy would get off work around 5, and get back to AA around 6, so that's the showing that had the 'spoiler' announcement.

Cloverfield is absolutely brilliant. There are few movies that have left me emotionally affected and Cloverfield was one of them.
I cried when Bambi's mother died.
