To think that people who go to the cinema

[JeromeKJerome]

and talk and start rustling sweet packets as soon as the film starts should be publicly flogged?

That seems fair.

Hell yes. And banned from the cinema for life.

Yanbu. Cinema ushers need police powers.

Yep especially mothers who take children to a loud/Harry potter film and repeatedly ask "are you ok tarquin" or should I just let it go

For some reason people here have started taking multi packs of CRISPS to the cinema. 😡

Or walk in once film had started and make a big performance of finding their seat. Shut up and sit the f*ck down!

The rustling issue I largely blame the cinema itself for, as they sell the offending items. What I really hate are people who use their phone throughout a film, I find the light insanely distracting.

People who loudly whisper to each other about what's about to happen on screen need the head-in-a-vice treatment à la Casino.

Cinema phone users should be drowned. It’s the only way.

I don't go to the cinema anymore but agree. Solutions could be: old fashioned intervals bought back when people could go to the toilet, buy an ice cream etc. Surely most people can go more than two hours without food and who thought noisy popcorn was ever a good idea.

Complain is my advice. A hearty email..
Went to see a PG with my dc. It was after 7pm. I bought 8 tickets!
Family (2 dps) in front had 3 dc including a new born. They took turns standing up rocking the dc and feeding it.. It didn't cry tbf but the swaying of alternate adults drove me mad!
I emailed and the response was they were surprised they got a baby past the door... I was refunded all our tickets... As imo I rightly should have.

And wave their arms around so their Smart watch lights up.

Oh and the repeated accidentally kicking the backs of our chairs was a real delight. We moved seats in the end but just reminded me why I rarely go to the cinema. Why do people not know how to behave anymore? Oh God I have turned into my mother.

I've turned into your mother too.

I work in a cinema and realistically, people will always speak once the film starts and during the film. People will be on their phones and you’ll always be allowed to eat whatever you want. What you gonna do ey!

I stopped going when our cinema started selling nachos. Just why.
