Its been a looooong while since I'd watched a movie in a cinema; as far as I can remember, the last time I went to the cinema was seeing "The Cave". Anyway, yesterday was Sunday, and I thought it would be nice to go see a movie with my husband. We chose a Korean horror movie (about a river monster); and it just reminded me why I didn't like going to cinemas!!

Well, the first half hour of the movie explained the reason why a river monster is created, and how it went to the shore to kill and eat a lot of people, including the main character's daughter. Some kids (I'm guessing 16-17 years old) came in half an hour late, missing all the critical parts, started laughing out loud for parts that aren't funny at all! For example, the family became very emotional when they thought their little girl died; the family members were crying and rolling on the ground; and I heard laughter... The uncle was blaming the father for accidently taking the wrong hand of another kid, leaving his own daughter behind to be taken by the monster...then I heard laughter. And so on and so on.

They noticed I was starring at them, and everytime they laughed and talked, they turned back to look at me to see how I react. All these made me lose concentration to the movie and I missed a lot of the subtitles!! Luckily, the theatre was pretty empty and these ba$tards moved seat later on.

Maybe its my bad luck, I often have bad experiences in cinemas. Once there was a really stinky man sat next to me, I almost couldn't breath for the whole time. Many years ago, a couple went into a fight with a man sitting next to them, the girl friend claim the man was purposely touching her, and so the boy friend hit the man; the movie had to stop and police came...oh, that was actually more interesting than the movie itself.:charming:

I don't go to the movies for the same reason. It is impossible to enjoy the movie with people screaming at the top of there lungs whenever something "scary" happens and if it's a comedy, forget it! You have people laughing so loud you can't even hear the movie. I mean laughing is fine but Jumping up and down in hysterics, while spiting soda everywhere is just annoying. Maybe I'm a little uptight but I just can't stand it.

I haven't been to the theaters to see a movie in at least three years. I just can't bring myself to pay $7.50 for a movie when I can rent it for two or three bucks. lol

I went to see Lava Girl and Shark boy with my dad and my kids when it hit the $2 view, before that was in 1999 when I was pregnant with Cody and I cannot remember the movie right now but oh well, must have not been a big deal lol

All I can say is that no matter where you go, what you do, what you see, or what you expect, its just that....... and to other people too, some will joke, scream, yell, laugh and so on.

We are all different and we all do, see, expect and want different things. Some people go to the movie for the movie, others for the "show" and others for what they can "show" so to speak.

What was the name of the movie? I love asian horror and this one sounds like a great alternative to the creepy white faced long black haired dead girl.

has anyone noticed how all of the so-called "block buster" movies that came out in the past 5 years all have sequals?? ie. Saw (was lame), The Ring (retarded), The Grudge (eh.. ok couldve been better).. etc

WTF is up with that crap?
