Went to an imax movie yesterday with dh and ds.

Before the film started a guy in the row in front was watching porn on his phone. His friend next to him said 'dude there's a little kid behind us'. The guy watching it said "I don't give a fuck, not my kid." HmmConfusedShockAngry

Then during the film there was a tiny baby screaming its lungs out pretty much consistently. Brought by (who I assume) was Grandma and was totally oblivious. Poor thing, film was way too loud for a baby and it was probably terrified!

Then no less than THREE people (all right in front of me) were holding their phones up high in the air and taking photos/recording! So massively in my view and hugely distracting.

Oh, and don't forget the couple that had a pretty loud argument.

Wth? I haven't been to the cinema in years. Is this what it's bloody like now or did I just get unlucky?!

He was watching porn, on his phone, in the cinema... Next to his friend?! What the fuck? How weird!! People talking, random children screeching... pretty standard for the cinema, but that one I am Shock at!

I hate cinemas like Vue etc and generally don't like to go to the cinema at all but should there be a film I am desperate to see, we have a gorgeous little independent cinema quite close to us; sofas, licenced, small, you know the type. That one is a delight.

Dear God Tammy!!! ConfusedShock

I don't even mind the food eating and low whispering. But people seem to have become way less considerate.

Having said that I haven't seen i film in the U.K. for probably 10 years now!
