    So there are days when I decide to go to the movies and check out what they are playing. I pay for my ticket for admission and grab a seat. The movie starts. Already someone gets up and leaves and nearly ten minutes later it comes back with what looks like 'dinner' for this guy; large popcorn, hot dog, nachos, drinks and candy. Another group gets up and excuses themselves to get by to get food as well and returns for a few minutes.

    My point is, do people go to the movie theatres just for food? Why can't they get the food BEFORE they watch the movie? :?

    Sometimes when I go I have a craving for the popcorn with butter. But it's not often I go to theaters anymore. But I've had problems where kids would not shut up during a movie, and one time when I went to see Batman Begins, some guy's cellphone rings and he's talking out loud.

    We have a few movie theaters/restaurants. You place your order before the movie starts and they bring your meal to you during the movie. At the regular theaters I never even get as much as a drink as the prices are too high. Plus I swear they put something in those drinks to make you pee. As for other people getting up I don't let it bother me, but it is kind of rude. The same for church or any place where people sit together. Wait a second speaking of church; how about refreshments at church? Maybe that will get more heathens to go. :D

    I am a movie Nazi. Speak around me, text, or answer your fucking phone and I will attack you. My husband has also threatened to beat up repeated chatters sitting nearby- and seeing he's huge and fairly mean-looking the tactic worked. It's got to the point where I cannot tolerate a normal cinema session these days, so I pay to see it Gold Class- it's a smaller cinema with reclinder chairs, only 30 seats, and full catering service. It costs $30 a ticket but the cost is worth it if you enjoy films.

    I also hate it when people bring babies to the movie theatre. Seriously, why the fucks' a baby need to be in there? It's not going to watch the movie, it's just going to sit there and cry all damn day probably because of all the noise and get on my damn nerves.

    there are designated cinema sessions in Melbourne called 'crybaby' sessions where mothers can bring in their babies while they watch a film. These sessions are usually at 9.30am which sucks for everyone else but is good if you have a baby because they usually wake at 6am and are getting sleepy when the film starts.

    I have now seen every Harry Potter film in Gold Class and I saw Lord of the Rings trilogy there too- with LOTR the films always opened on New Years Day so me and a few friends would get a few seats together each year, they nursing hangovers from the night before.

    I agree that talking,texting or answering your phone is rude. I always try to not do those things when at the movie myself. However if this is true then your going over board a bit my friend. You and your husband are not invincible and you could end up losing your life making threats to random people you don't know. I know a couple of guys that don,t care about you being big and mean because they have a few guys named Smith and Wesson who go with them every place. Heck a smaller man may be stronger than your husband and be able to really injure him. In any case glad to see you went someplace else rather than get into a conflict that could end you guys up in jail or dead. That catering service sounds good,but I''m already a bit over weight. I'd most likely be big as a house if my theater had that service.

    I went to see The Hurt Locker in a cinema in London on Monday, and it cost me £11!
    I can't think of anything worth putting as a signature.

    My local movie theatre sucks. They got rid of cheap movie Tuesday. Their replacement is cheap popcorn Tuesday. Yeah, um thanks. That really makes up for having to pay $10 every night of the week. The only upside to the place is they never do bag checks so the few times I still go I sneak refreshments in.
