Food And Movies Dont Go Together
136 Answers
Took my son to the cinema this afternoon. Settled down in to our seats when a couple of women took their seats directly behind us. The lights dimmed and the adverts and trailers began. Then it STARTED...The women got the crisps out. Ruste, rustle, crunch, crunch. Ok, it was only the adverts and trailers, the film hadnt started yet. Then the film started and it was like a siren call to get the food out. The couple on my left started the 'rustle, rustle' of food wrappers and then others. The women directly behind me carried this on for the next hour, it was driving me crackers. Trying to watch a movie with my son (a rare treat at the best of times) and all I could hear was 'rustle, munch, crunch, chomp, rustle, rustle.'
I suggest that food should be banned in cinemas like smoking and the use of phones. Or am I been a killjoy?

Nailit - some years ago I took my Down's Syndrome cousin (very intelligent) to a movie.
I can't hear them (movies) but I just took her - anyway about 10 mins into the movie - the movie was stopped and the manager/projector (whoever) shouted out to everybody - "has anybody got an alarm clock going" - this old lady put her hand up and he quickly grabbed it and told her she would get it after the movie.
I asked my cousin - "were you able to hear it" God love her - "yes and it was getting on my nerves too". She died about 6 years ago at the age of 37.

I remember going to the cinema in the 1980s in San Jose when my cousin lived there. When the film ended and the lights came up, I couldn`t believe the rubbish that had been left behind. Burger wrappers, massive fizzy drinks containers, you name it. I was quite shocked as to how much crap was left behind and why people were such slobs. Thirty years later, the cinemas in the UK are the same (and the people have the same obesity problem). Why people can`t just sit down and watch a film without stuffing their faces is beyond me.
At a long ago performance of Miss Saigon the man in front of me started speaking to his companion as soon as the curtain went up.
When I asked if he was going to do this all through the performance he said yes....my friend doesn't speak English...I have to translate....
I asked if he was going to sing too.....No...I can't do that....he replied...
Okay...you speak....I offered....I'll do the singing bit..or we could both keep quiet.....
We were both very quiet.....☺
