Tie between people talking and cell phones. Both are so incredibly irresponsible and disrespectful.
Commercials. People can be knocked out, babies duct taped, and tickets aren't too bad. But for farg's sake get the movie going already.
Hands down, the cost of tickets. Soda for two and a movie is like $25. Give me a break.

Would you like to eat the corn out of my turds? Well good luck! Like I eat vegetable. Pffft.
I went with commercials but I'm going to expand on that one. Because it's not even the commercials that really bother me. They help pass the time while I'm waiting for the movie to start. What I absolutely hate about going to the movies is that stupid little AMC film strip figure they have running around on the screen before they actually start the movie. I hate that little rat bastich and every time he starts galloping across the screen I just want to rip his stupid little film strip arms off him and beat him relentlessly. ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!! I hate that gay little biatch! :boom
Don't mention that to anyone when you try to get your kids back.
i actually havent heard a cell phone in the movies in about 2 years i think.
you forgot one option...THE MOVIES SUCK AND ARE UNORIGINAL PEICES OF HORSE CRAP
AMC theaters still run a matinee price. and my (wife in 48 hours) has a student ID... :yay

thats your own fault for going to the gay ones. ;) of the last 4 flicks I went to see, i enjoyed 3 of em. Devils Rejects, Wedding Crashers, Cinderella Man..... the one I didnt care for, War of the Worlds, was just an effects flick anyway which is best viewed on the big screen.
TV sucks. Movies are awesome. Except when they suck. Which is often.

:-D Funny thing is, my daughter hates him too. I flew to Seattle for a few days after I finished recruiters school back in March and took her to see Robots. After that little film strip homo got done doing his thing she tapped me on the arm and said "Dad, what was that?" and I said it was some movie film that was supposed to be shaped like a person. She said "Oh. That's kind of stupid." I damn near dropped my soda. :-D
I voted babies, pecause that was the closest I could answer to register a vote for "other people." I can't stand the people.
Cell phones ringing is bad, but things can get a lot worse. People answering the cell phones, chatting, raising up their phone to take pictures....
Babies are okay. Loud whining and taking a dump right in the theater are legitimate responses to some of the films out there lately.
Dio nailed the basic problem. People are inconsiderate idiots, and in a large crowd, chances are excellent that at least one person around you will find a way to remind you of that fact multiple times during the movie. As a result, I usually only go to movies when they have been out so long that most people don't even think they are out anymore. When there's like 10 people spread around the theater, it's a tolerable place. I think the last time I got roped into going to a packed theater, it was for Passion of the Christ. Some ugly fat teenagers were making out in front of me the whole time. The film had scenes that were cringe-worthy enough, without the added spectacle of those behemoths sucking face a couple feet from my eyeballs.
it's hell getting all that butter off my unit.
Commercials. It's bad enough you have to sit thru previews but now you als have to sit thru fricken ads too.
Annoying.
:boo

Ain't that grand? You pay a small ransom to take your old lady out for a movie--$35 easy with refreshments--and then they make you watch ads.
So lemme get this straight: I pay money to watch ads?
That's farged up. I boo them. People actually get pissed at me for booing the ads. Sheep.
yeah, the commercials piss me off too...and they cause the movie to start 1/2 later than scheduled.
damn capitalist pigs!
those fargkkin commercials are getting out of hand. id have to say people talking close second. when i lived in philly, people would alwys be making comments and opening their worthless traps. fargin ignorant. since moving back to lanc, not a problem.
cell phones don't go off as often as in the past thanks to the commercials they run before the movies. its the douchebags that constantly yap during the flick that piss me off.
I'm moving to Pittsburgh in a little less than a month. I noticed there's an enormous Loews Cineplex right by my new place that advertises the legitimate start time of the movies, in addition to the traditional method. The revolution is coming. :evil
By the way, if I ran a theater chain I'd either block out or jam cell phone signals at each screen. Of course, then someone would have a heart attack or something and try to call 911, and I'd end up getting sued.

Just go to your seat 5 minute later. Maybe 10 minutes.
by that time your stuck in the front row.
Well, I almost always reserve my seat via internet. 8)
hmmm, I've never been to a movie theatre in the US where your ticket reserves a particular seat. This is in Japan your talking about?

Good question, I'd like to find the theaters here that do that!
Slow down speedy. Focus on finding a theater with booster seats first. ;)
Yeah, there are not many theaters that reserve seats though. Especially around Tokyo. My hometown theater has the system. I live in Kobe now and some theaters have the same system. However, tons of people in Tokyo always make a line and it's really gross to join.
So, you're out of New Orleans for good?

I left there for a long, long time ago. Now I work for the government.
You're a spy. I knew it.
I always manage to sit next to that one person that feels the need to scream "The killers in the closet!Dont go in there!"
therefore, talking annoys me.

If the offending person is directly to your right, you should scream, "Right Turn, Clyde" then bunch the offender in his jabberjaw. If he's on your left, scream "Left Turn, Clyde."
Anyone else think sticky seats are a bit annoying?

You're like my long lost Japanese brother or something.
He's just like you, only he can eat way more hot dogs.
Am I lost? hehe.
I really hate that my computers in the work place don't have the internet. 1 out of 40 computers have one. Not much time to spend online. I'm now on summer vacation which lasts two more days.
Our government sucks.

They have mother and baby matinees at cinemas over here. Christ, all those screaming babies. Pure hell.
I can't believe that people would be dumb enough to bring a baby/toddler to the movies. Shoot, I can't get my kid to sit down for two minutes, let alone two hours.
What's the point of bringing babies to a theater? Just get a babysitter.

Exactly. But if a load of mums want to bring their kids to the cinema, fair enough if it's a special showing.

It's like you're living my life, but in Japanese.
If they continue to cut salary, no young good guys come in. They still didn't notice this. I might work for Toyota.
I actually like the previews O-o. But it was a tie between people talking and people kicking your seat. I just hate people, sometimes I wait until the last day the movie's in theaters and then go, just because noone else is there.

is that loews right next to a target? along the river? you must be moving to the shadyside/squirell hill/greenfield area of the city.
if thats the place, there's a bar called Silky's on Murray Ave in Squirell hill (next to barnes and noble i believe) that gets a pretty nice eagles crowd every week. i lived there for 2 years and was there every sunday.
I hate the people who show up late to the movie or while the previews are rolling, then procede to walk up and down every isle asking "are those seats taken?" :boom
How 'bout most of the choices blow as an option? Who the farg wants to see The Island or Stealth?

Thanks for the heads up. I've made the move and finding an Eagles bar is my next order of business. :cfhead
they arent an "eagles bar" but they have (or had) sunday ticket with about 8 TVs going each week.
Yeah, won't find a true Eagles bar in Stiller country but a healthy contingent is good enough. That's what I meant.
the last few times ive gone to the movies ive tried to bring in my doggie bag from dinner and the bastiches wouldnt let me....im like its a half a reuben and some soggy fries not ju ju bees popcorn and a coke...they actually made me bring it out to my car and come back in....fargfaces
you just didnt plan well. have your girl put it in her purse, or put it under a coat. Its not like they frisk at the theatre.
you've brought the same reuben to the movies the last three times you've gone?
Igy luvs him sum reuben.

i didnt not plan well i didnt plan at all as ive never had a problem with that
So you've walked into a movie theater with food before and never been hassled? If that's the case, I'm surprised that no one's ever said anything to you before.
leftover food from dinner?
ive done it a thousand times and never had a problem
candy popcorn soda or anything that screams im bringing this in to eat during the movie i would obviously hide and can understand them not allowing it...but a styrofoam container inside a tied plastic bag...come on
i brought a beef and cheddar and some curly fries into the movies last week.
What bugs me about movies nowadays is, after forking over $9 per ticket, you have to sit through 10 minutes of commercials before the previews start.
I hate that stupid little filmstrip motherfarger who dances around the screen before movies in AMC theaters. Everytime I see that little bastich I wanna throw my 5 gallon coke at him.
