    Age is 17.

    I don't think I've ever had a bad time at a movie. :D

    Well, I guess when I went to see Batman Forever and the sound didn't work for the first 5 minutes of the movie. The audio worked fine through the previews. After people yelled at the projectionist, they restarted the movie......including 15 gd minutes of previews. It was annoying I guess.

    Now on the other side of this, my two favorite happenings in a theater was when I got the day off from school and everyone else had to be in school. Hey, a Jewish school does have it's perks. A few friends and I bought tix for 10 Things I Hate About You (and pretty much everyone else from school was in there as well). After about 10 minutes of mind-numbing crap, we decided to switch theaters. So we snuck into Cruel Intentions. It was quite a good time considering no one else was in there, yet they still show the movie. Well after 5 minutes of talking loudly through it with nothing to worry about, (I don't think the security guard would even give a ****) we decide to pretty much throw things at the screen. Such projectiles included 'Reese's Pieces', 'Sour Patch', 'ICEE', and 'Coke'. Good tiems. I think there was a minor nude scene which was an even greater plus.

    Another time was last year when the first LOTR came out. People had been standing in line for hours which was hilarious. So I go there about an hour before (and I think I actually got tickets to it) with 1 other friend. About 30 minutes prior, our other 2 compadres arrive and I explain to them that they probably won't get a ticket. No problem, they buy tix for some children's movie. Well, it was extremely easy to sneak in and we got 4 seats ina row.

    It was over capacity; it was more than a sellout. Actual ticket holders couldn't find a seat. They had ushers going through the rows checking peoples' tickets. So I don't know what happened to them, but anyway, after the movie an usher is handing free ticket stub coupons to EVERYONE that was exiting the theater. I asked him and he said soemthing about the sound (which was crystal clear).

    I finally used that coupon on the new Matrix.


    OH WAIT!! There was one time I had a GOD AWFUL time at a movie. It's when I went to see...........SPICEWORLD.:(

    The worst time i had at a movie was when i went to go see the first rerelease of "A New Hope" Star Wars it was at the Woodlands Tinseltown and my granparents let me take off school for the day so my aunt could take me to see it..

    I was 14 at the time and we get there for the first showing at 8 am on the first day of the opening and there was like storm troopers and **** everywhere which was cool. It was customers dressed up like that.. Well we get in there and it is at the fullest of full capacity and its out of focus.. the whole crowd was booing and they had like every projectionist there trying to fix it and they couldn't till 3/4 throught the movie but we stayed and watched it and got rain tickets for it..


    The best day I had at a movie theatre was when me and my friends went to see Orange County which i found hilarious(jack black) of course. Well we are like 18 now and we are really into jackass. Well, i am a bigger guy and i am wearing a tight tight tight ass tank top that barely covers my chest and my friend is wearing a ref's uni that we got from a thrift store. its friday night at like 8 or 9 pm and the place is f'in packed. so, me and my friends start crowd surfing at first. Then me and my referee friend joel go down to the bottom in front of everyone and start booty dancing which gets a great romp as i take off my wife beater and all. And then some older people at the top start throwing ice at us.. i guess its because we were ruining there movie going experience. well i am walking back to my seat and the older people who are around 35-45 start calling me a fat ass even though him and his wife are both bigger than i am. so i calmly yell back at him"Why don't you ask your wife who is a fat ass!!!!!"
    He then gets up and comes after me when my friends step up in front of him and tell him he can kick my ass if he wants but be prepared to go to jail... so he sits his fat ass back down. and we enjoy our movie going experience.

    oh yeah we snuck into that movie also

    Because if any of my friends had got involved in the fight, they would have been arrested for child abuse or somthing along that line. This happened in Richmond VA at Regal Cinema's.

    I shoulda just went with the Matrix, but after all those bad reviews....

    You and me both. Surround sound rules at the home, with homemade popcorn, my couch and the big screen TV rules.

    Why is it that every time, no matter how hard I check the floor when I find a seat, I always get my shoes in something sticky like spilled soda? And the teenagers that want to talk the whole time during the movie just annoy the crap out of me.

    My worst time in a movie theatre was when me and a friend went to see "2Fast2Furious". This was our last day out, before I moved to NY. We get there and everything is fine. Then, 30 minutes into the movie, some smart guys behind me thinks they will impress there date by throwng popcorn at me. The first time, I thought he just dropped it, so I let it go. The second time, I turn around and tell them to stop nicely since it was one piece and I didn't want to go kicked out. Then, about 5 minutes later, about 20 pieces come flying down on me and my friend. Not wanting to get kicked out, I didn't start anything. I simply grabbed one of my sour patch kids, turned around and threw it as hard as I could and hit one of them on the cheek with it. I kept looking at him, while he got up and brushed the candy off. All he said was, "What was that?". After the movie, I waited outside in case he wanted to start anything, but they just walked off.

    That happened to me at baseketball or Angel Eyes(jlo), and they gave us all free popcorn and drink coupons, and gave our ticket prices back, and above all gave us 10 dollar gift certificates to watch any other movie within 3 months... This was at the first colony mall theatre... Great Manager he was.

    Kicking the back of the seat constantly
    Talking constantly
    Talking on their cell phone


    The people who practice such things in a movie theater should be shot while in the act. In no particular order, just whatever your preference.

    He said he was with a girl. That disqualifies him.

    I would've suplexed them right then and there, regardless if they were twelve. OTOH, all you teenagers are obnoxious. Ya'll need a beating.

    What?:confused: He's not gonna use a real terrorist comeback, moe...

    That might make him look the part.

    But you're funny. Nice (long thought out, in hindsight, outside the moment or situation) comeback.:rolleyes: ;)

    A few years ago I was in Peoria Illl during a mantinee showing of "The Candidate" and this couple, the only people sharing the theater with me, was apparantly having sex. Disrespectful but interesting. The dude had the nerve to apologize after the movie, "for what?" I asked.

    Why did you go to a movie when you already knew that you wouldn't like it? Nice move, genius...

    You don't have to cuss with kids. Kids these days use cuss words so much, that they're immune to it. Just turn around, grab one by the shirt, and kindly say:

    "Listen, you snotty little troll, if you keep acting up like that, I'm going to rip each individual hair out of your head one by one with a pair of tweezers, superglue the entire wad of hair to your chest, and then rip off that glued on hair wad with a piece of duct tape....THEN, I'll tell all your friends that you're a chronic bed wetter...you got me??"

    You don't even have to yell it, either...They'll get the message...
