Vader Prefers His Home Theater As Well



I've heard people snoring, kids climbing the railings like they're jungle gyms, of course the requisite loud talkers and chewers, seatback kickers, and so on.
What are some of your multiplex horror stories?

(Once, I had a lady who brought an infant to watch The Ring. Shocker: the baby cried through much of the movie. Surprise surprise.)

i was watching the peter pan movie with robin williams (it was so good i forgot what it was called... pan, maybe?) and when it was getting toward the ending, a little kid behind me says to his dad softly, but loud enough that i heard it, "rufio dies, yeah?" and the dad whispers, "yeah." turns out that i sat in front of a family of prophets because lo and behold rufio died.

one time there was almost a fight in the theater, with one guy yelling at another but i don't know if that counts because that was just as entertaining if not more so than the movie itself.

g,
people who talk at movies are bad - people who talk at movies and actually give away the ending are much worse. That's a good story.

Your second story reminded me: Once, I almost started a fight at a movie theater... there were these punk teenagers goofing around at the back of the theater when the credits were rolling. One kid put a piece of paper or a folded up box or something in front of the glass through which the movie is projected, blocking half the image on the screen. They laughed and started walking off.

I sat up, turned around and hollered, "hey! did you just put that there?" some kid answered defiantly, "yeah." I said, "well take it down."
All his friends sort of watched to see what he would do and he kind of shrank a little and went back and took it down without saying anything. I'm sure he cursed me out as he left the theater, but he didn't DARE say anything to me.
I think Jake and or Kerman or other guys were there. I can't remember what movie it was.
