My worst one was when me and a few friends went to see The Visit. There were a few middle school chicks in front of us and they would not shut the frick the up. They kept taking selfies and talked incredibly loudly. Eventually I told them to shut the frick up or I'm getting someone to kick them out. They kept talking and later got kicked out, not 5 minutes later some assholes bring a baby in the theater and it would not stop crying. We just gave up and decided to ignore the little shite.

my worst may have been when I went to canal place and the waiter brought us popcorn that wasn't ours and knocked both of our drinks onto my lap. I didn't have a change of pants and had to walk around for a while after looking like I pissed my pants.

As far as noisy theaters, there were a lot of kids running around playing when I saw Straight Out of Compton.

The first Avengers movie in Honolulu. Pacific Islanders can be some great folks to hang out with, but they can put away some damn potato chips.

ooh this sucks too, so glad that the Grand Theater by me has made this impossible, Manute Bol couldn't kick the seat in front of him.

I go to a lot of movies, so I have a long list.

Worst was one of those Louisiana Film Festival movies at Perkins Rowe, and someone with their staff was sitting on the aisle steps snorting back mucus like a hog in heat. Multiple people asked the guy to stop or leave. Finally someone got a Sheriff's deputy to drag the guy out. He got back in and moved to another section of the theater to annoy a new group of people.

No sound for a long time once. Appeared to be no one in the booth or whatever. Then the film broke. I was so pissed I can't recall all the details. Started over and there was a gap. Eventually left and had to go back on another date. Can't even recall the movie.

A few years ago some kid from the top row threw a crushed up coke can and hit me in the back of the head. It was a full theater so I wasn't going to make a big scene, but I stood up and turned around, and I could tell which group it was because they were the only ones who weren't looking at me wondering why I was standing.

There's been three or four movies where there's always "that guy" that thinks he's hilarious and wants to shout stuff out during the movie

Possible Star Wars spoilers.

Watching Star Wars TFA. The part in the movie when shite went down on the bridge twords the end....for those who have seen it..you know what I'm talking about...essentially the climax of the movie. Emotions are running high after a saber pierced a chest......movie cuts off. We have to wait 20 mins before they put the movie back on and then it was 30 mins behind where it had cut off. Totally ruined the whole experience.

The timing was to suspect. I think we got trolled by someone who was quitting.

Went to see The Green Mile in NO with some friends. Forgot which theater. When he was walking to the chair, the film melted and we didn't get to see the end.

The 25 minutes of Spring Breakers before I walked out. Strictly the awfulness of that film. Nothing else.

Another time I had plans to meet people for dinner but I had a ton of time to kill before so I went see Fantastic Four: Silver Surfer before. Halfway through the movie came to a dead stop and the lights came up. They came give us vouchers to see a later showing because they couldn't fix it, but it was a showing when I'd be out at dinner and I really didn't feel like watching the first half of that movie again.

A new "luxury" theater just opened here in Augusta that has extra wide aisles like that as well as electronically operated recliner seats. You can lean back, put your feet up, and there is still plenty of room for someone to walk past you.

Haven't had too many bad experiences. When I went to see TFA, the guy beside me couldn't hold down his excitement. Every time something came on the screen he had to talk about it to his kid. "There's the Millennium Falcon!" "There's Han Solo!" "It's a stormtrooper!" Dude needed to calm his tits and stop talking.

Went to see The Fourth Kind on a Saturday night. Never, ever, ever go see a PG-13 movie on a Saturday night. Didn't realize a movie was a cheap babysitter. 50 kids acting like animals, cops came in twice and eventually threw them all out. Complained and got a free movie coupon.

That's what this had. The theater opened with crappy seats and was hardly ever full, now every seat reclines and they reduced capacity by 60% and it's jam packed every night. Smart marketing move.

My brother and I were the only white people in a sold out showing of Django Unchained.

Yeah ... that sucked.

Probably the Departed. Everyone started laughing at the end where SPOILERS









everyone gets shot up in the elevator. Kind of ruined the dramatic effect. I thought it was poorly presented though so I blame Scorsese in part.
