I miss the sweet popcorn that you can get in cinemas in the UK. Stuff is like heroin, you just can't stop eating.

Vue in liffey valley sell sweet popcorn.

I was in Cineworld about two weeks ago and there was some drunk "awl-wan" sitting up the front - constantally laughing. He laugh was funnier than the film. She kept screaming things out. At the start of the film, just as the lights were dimming and the film starting she struts in Stands at the front centre and screams " Scarla for yor ma for havin ye" - probably the funniest part of the film. If I didn't want to see the film in the first place she would have really annoyed me.

This! I miss the sweet popcorn so much The popcorn I've had at cinemas here is so stale and tasteless usually. Whenever I went back to England I'd sometimes pop in too Blockbuster to get their sweet popcorn

Back on topic; people who bring and eat crisps in the cinema! When I was at Harry Potter last year a guy in front of me had one of those big 12 pack of Taytos with him! the rustling was incredibly annoying!

I think the cinemas might have a little more responsibility than the advertisers. I would think they sell the rights to them.

What the hell is with the ads? It used to be a few upcoming attractions before you got to see your film. Now you have to watch Jennifer Lopez shave her legs (every fucking time) and Roger bleedin' Federer shave his stupid face before you can see the thing you spent far too much money on seeing. Carlton Advertising -- you gits. This is solely your fault. Seeing your name makes me want to punch a horse-sized duck in the face. :mad:

I really thought this was just me and the boyfriend that were getting annoyed by this! ESPECIALLY Jennifer Lopez. I'm your venus.... :pac:

It is very annoying I time it, if a film starts at 7 I go at 7.15 but sometimes there are no ads and I miss the beginning of a film.

I hate sitting beside some one who guffs me about doing drug deals on my mobile like I am at the pics but I still have to make a living and the addicts depend on me.

Also so what if I have to leave so often its not my fault the addicts are desperate,,OK maybe it is.

True. Although both are not equally stupid. At least you are clapping a person/people when an airplane lands, but a film?

Children asking their parents every two minutes a question about whats going on in their high voice (ok they cant help the voice, but just tell your kids to be quiet for fup sake! :mad:)

That fella who always has to drink his own body weight in coke and then shuffle past you to get out of the aisle to use the toilet.

The phone checker, the seat kicker, that stupid couple or pair of friends who have to talk to each other to explain whats going on.]

Oh man, the people who used to arrive half an hour late and act surprised when only a few seats in between people remain. Arrive on time and it wont happen.

I'd build a cinema for the above immature loud and inconsiderable people. Give them an hour before they're tearing each other to pieces

Lots of annoying incidents over the years but one stand out was during Toy Story 3. There was a girl who also had a hyena laugh who screeched her way through the film. That included one of the final, really poignant and sad scenes at the end. I could see a number of people giving her WTF looks throughout (including a bunch of young fellas who were initially a bit disruptive themselves). Made me wary of seeing mainstream movies with an emotional punch in the cinema again.

Actually she shouted "What a sad 18 year old, playing with a bunch of toys" during the final scene, completely ruining the moment. :mad:

Cheese Popcorn eaters should have their own cinema.

That warrants barring from that cinema in my opinion

I feel for you OP. I normally only go to the cinema for big special effects, and normally during a weekday lunchtime showing. Even during the summer holidays it tends to be pretty quiet.

For Ted, I'm going to actively try the opposite. I reckon a comedy like that would be funnier with other people laughing with you. I heard that the afternoon and evening shows were sold out Wednesday, so it'll be difficult to get a ticket this weekend. To me that means I'll be in the middle of a load of people who really want to see the film.

So i went to see Ted at the cinema with the misses this evening. we were really looking forward to the film but the chap behind me was laughing in my ear like a hyena for the entire film. there was a few funny parts but this idiot roared at the most stupidest things

Idiots like this should be thrown out of the cinema,he ruined the entire film for us after paying 23 quid for our tickets. i think ill just rent out films anymore..what a complete and utter moron

Yep, agreed. Went to see it on Saturday with the missus. There was a couple sat beside us, swilling beer and roaring at the slightest thing. Now, there's laughing and there's OMFGTHATWASTHEFUNNIESTTHINGEVARHAHAHAHAHAHALOLOLOLOLOMFGOMFGOMFG11!!!11!!!!!! laughing. It's not laughing that's the problem, it's the fact that you're roaring at the fcuking screen. Like, at the top of your lungs. If you were actually screaming obscenities , that would be unnaceptable, but replace swear words with laughter but leave the loudness and volume the exact same and somehow THAT'S ok?

What really winds me up is people laughing at the bits from the trailer that everyone has seen a hundred times. You've already seen that part, you knew the punchline, why the fcuk are you gushing with uncontrollable mirth and chortling so damn loudly at viewing number 101? Is it funnier, now, in the theatre, surrounded by so many strangers than it is at home by yourself the other hundred times?

Went to see U-571 with my father and brother in Liffey Valley and had the misfortune of having a row of teenaged idiots sit behind us. Chatting isn't too bad. I can filter that out, but the young fella behind me lest kicking my seat and then decided to put his feet up on the top of the seat, beside my head. I sat there for a few minutes with his festering runners twitching beside me, when he got restless legs again, and kicked me in the head. I grabbed his ankle and pulled and told him if he didn't put his feet down and stop kicking my seat, I'd rip them off at the ankle and shove them where the sun doesn't shine. My Dad, turned around in his seat and with a totally stony face said "She will, you know."

Not a gig out of the rest of them until the end of the film, when they apologised to us !!

My ex-Girlfriend/current wife and I go to the Cinema on average once a week. We used to go to Vue in Liffey valley as you can pay and collect your tickets at a kiosk and this means you can pick your seat, I like an aisle seat.

However we were dropping €50 on tickets and munchies and we'd probably go to Eddie Rockets or Gourmet Burger afterwards as well.

Also the Vue is full of kids and the odd traveller group as well, Travellers LOVE to have a chat or phone their mates at high volume during movies and seem bewildered when they are kicked out.

We now go to the newly re-opened Lighthouse Cinema €18 for 2 tickets and 2 cokes & Cornpops €10 and seats aren't assigned so you can sit anywhere you want, also no kids.

The IFI is the business, they show films that the coke gallon swillers avoid, and you can have a beer while you watch in peace and quiet.

IFI Cinema is OK, saw a pretty good french movie there last time I went, but two words.....NO POPCORN!:eek:

Any cinema that doesn't have any popcorn is not for me

Good, no motherf*ckers rustling away and stuffing their fat faces.

No offence.

You're being insensitive to the average cinema-goer Chazz. Clearly a lot of people go to eat food and not watch a film

If only there was a public place where one could pay money to eat food and not be distracted by loud noises and flashing images on a screen...

Battlefield was sh!te alright, how come they can travel through space and have all that technology yet the ships can only bellyflop in the water? Christ! Rihanna was hot in it though.

battleship maybe? I saw it last week and thought it was a lot of fun. There were so many plot holes though. Like why the things the alien ship fire aren't guided. But as a mate said, when you walk into a cinema to see a film called battleship, you kind of have to leave any expectations at the door. It's going to be a crappy sci-fi film with a huge special effect budget and you should just enjoy it for what it is.

I was at the cinema with the GF a few years ago and we had three teenage girls in front of us that wouldn't shut the **** up. We ended up complaining and they got thrown out.

No offence taken, I am neither fat nor a motherf*cker, but I do love my cinema popcorn.
Anyone who doesn't like popcorn during a movie is dead inside

pookiesboo

No matter where you sit in the cinema you always seem to be sitting behind someone like Ray Charles rocking back and forth

Nothing worse than the feet up brigade except probably the recliner on airliners who puts their seat all the way back into the space YOU have paid good money for, ruining your flight. At least with Ryanair you do not have recliners invading your seat space with their selfish ways........

Thinly veiled "I have my own house" post!

Oh GOD no, we only rent! I just meant "now that we're not living with our parents and bothering them"... there's nothing worse than being in the middle of a film and having somebody's mother come in and tell them to clean their room or go out for a walk. I wouldn't swap anything to be back as a teenager... Jesus Christ, it's the weekend, we will do things at our leisure or as they become pressing! Work is imminent and relaxing is necessary beforehand! I mean, Punk may have died but parents are definitely still just lame. :P

On-topic, there is a screen size advantage to watching films like Avatar or Prometheus that have that sort of epic proportions stuff going on. However, if anybody is interested in having an extremely large screen in your living room which you can use as a cinema projector merely by hooking up your laptop via HDMI lead, go to Cash Converters or Argos or one of those men shops and they often sell ones for less than 60 quid. If you watch six films on it you'll have more than made back the money you'd pay seeing them in the cinema.
