Best/Worst Movie Theater Experiences?
Was there ever a time when you went to the movies and the concession guy was a jerk, the dude sitting in front of you was an ass or it was an event you'll never forget? Tell those experiences here!
For example, a couple weeks ago, when i saw "Hot Rod", i managed to accidentally go to an open caption show for the deaf. Seeing as how the movie wasn't going to be out much longer any way and i wanted to see it, i sucked it up and went, regardless of the subtitles.
So i sit down in the theater, and by the time the movie starts, it's completely empty with the exception of myself. However, five minutes in, in walks a group of about 8 loud, obnoxious teenagers. Pushing each other, yelling, throwing stuff, pretty much your standard dick movie goer. So guess what, about of about 280 seats, they feel it necessary to sit behind me. Awesome.
Ten minutes in, one the the teens picks up her cell phone and starts talking teen nonsense "Shopping Shopping Boys Boys BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!"
I let it slide.
Fifteen minutes in, some of the guys start talking about how bad the movie is and stuff.
"Dude that guys got a huge nose"
"That's cause he's a jew"
"No way"
"Seriously man he's got a jew fro goin' on!"
This and several other meaningless conversations continue for a while. Having people talk in movies has always been a problem for me, but i'm usually too passive to do anything about it. But, after about 20 minutes of non-stop jibber jabber, I was about to say something, until the guy directly behind started kicking my seat to amuse his friends. This made me do something I'll never forget.
(Because It WAS a show for the deaf) I turned around, and immediately started pretending I'm deaf. I flail my figures randomly, and say, with a very distorted voice "Pweeas Stoop Inerooping Ta Muvi!"
It might seem offensive, but these kids had it coming. Their faces went paper white and had the most unbelievable look of shock and guilt ever. The kids just all looked at each other and there was almost complete silence for pretty much the rest of the movie.
However, towards the end, they realize that 'Oh yeah, deaf people can't hear, we can talk about meaningless teen things again'! As one turns towards the other and starts to speak, just to mess with him, i turn and give him the coldest glare. He slides back into his seat and doesn't say a thing.
When the movie ends, and everyone starts to head out the doors, the teens gather in a circle and start talking about the movie. I then walk up to them and say, plainly, "So what did you guys think of the movie"
8 priceless face of pure confusion stare me right in the face. Not a word is said from them. After about 10 solid seconds of silence, i say "Well, I might hear about what you guys thought about it later, i gotta go. Cya!
Was it a jerk move? Probably
Did they deserve to be messed with? Maybe
Was it a memorable movie experience? Most defiantly.
Wow. I think i wrote too much. XP
Sorry for the lengthy example guys!

My worst experiences: Any time I went to a movie that had kids in the audience. They just can't shut up.
Best: Probably any time I went to comedies with friends or a large audience. Like when I saw Borat, it was a full house. Made the experience even more enjoyable.

I remember going to see Episode III with my friends. Wookie calls every time Wookies showed up.

I went and saw Hannibal with a group of friends and while waiting in the line to get in to the theater two guys in front of us got in to a fight and one of them ended up getting stabbed and falling all over one of my friends.
The next two hours were spent telling the cops what happened and trying to convince them none of us were involved. The cops in that area have nothing to do and were certain they had stumbled on to some kind of secret stabbing society or something because they separated us all and had us going musical chairs from one officer to the next relating the exact same story over and over again. They finally let us go, reminding us that we had better behave ourselves.
I waited for Hannibal to come out of DVD, and after watching it decided that the experience at the theater was far better than watching the film.
The best theater experience I've had is when I go see a movie and no one talks, no one uses a phone, and I can actually watch the movie. It's happened a few times, and it's always kind of frightening.

No Jason, you weren't a di*k. It was justified, and at least you didn't resort to violence. I especially love their delayed stupidity.
Worst movie moment: When I went to see die hard 4/Knocked up. My ex fiancee' left me hanging because I refused to pay for her and her best friends way, and food. Go figure
Best Moment: Space Jam, that was the most packed theater I have ever been in. It was a nice feeling, and despite all the kids in attendance everyone was on their best behaviour

You were not out of line- i think that was generally the best option. I wish I could have been there to see their faces. I think that the worst/best experience is when I saw snakes on a plane with a big group of people/and the theater was packed. We didnt take the movie seriously, laughed our asses off, and got others to join in our obnoxiusness.

That's funny. It was like you had the live version of bratz sitting behind you. And your nephew could make you a lot of money if you market him off as the 'Theater nonsense ender'
Print up some business cards with him shouting shut up Batch and you've got yourself some cash

me and my friends were considerate (because we had seen the broadway show and listened to the soundtrack a BAGILLION TIMES) we went and saw the sing- along version (which apparently not many people knew about) no one else was there we were dancing in the seats singing our hearts out it was so much fun
then we went and saw it on a regular night
... we hummed... quietly :(

My first time seeing The Departed. This guy fell asleep during it, and started snoring. Loud too. It was really distracting, and I was otherwise really enjoying the movie, so I woke him up and asked him politely to stay awake or leave the theater so he's not wasting his money or anyone else's time. I go back to the seat, and that asshole starts to make snoring noises just to piss me off (and everyone else too).

My worst experiance in a movie was when I went to see 300 with Weasel, he told me it was good but I thought it was gay porn from the trailers, so we went and sat in the second to last row but behind use were 10 annoying devil brats taklking though the first 10 minutes of the movie. I got fed up so I got up took one by the neck and took off my mask, the kid pissed himself cryed then the rest started to shutup. It was fun.
