These 25 Rude People Ruined Movies for Everyone Else

Went to see Prometheus. Right when the movie starts someone yells at the screen “Go Heat!” (I live near Miami). During the movie some girl a few rows ahead of me is recording the movie with her cell phone and texting it to her friend. The guy to my right is falling asleep and snoring loudly. When he wakes up he starts commenting loudly about the movie to nobody in particular. During the movie someone yells at the screen again. The guy to my left yells at him to shut the f*ck up. I was so distracted by all this nonsense I couldn’t enjoy the movie at all.

I remember this one time I went to see a movie, this HUGE fat guy wearing this weird green hunting cap and plaid shirt came in and sat right at the front. I honestly don’t even remember what the movie was about because the entire time he is yelling at the screen about how the movie was an “abortion” and some shit about geometry; all while he’s scarfing bag after bag of popcorn.

Fulton Mall, Brooklyn. Went to see some god-awful vampire movie. The usual music is playing over the slides before the show starts. Movie starts, but, during quiet scenes, I can still hear the pre-show music playing. Then about half-way through, about a half-dozen black teenagers start dancing in the aisle.

When I went to see Rock of Ages (I work at the theater so it was free, I was bored, whatever) about 10 minutes into the movie a group of maybe 6 teenage boys, around 13-14 I think, came in and sat in the row in front of me. They proceeded to whistle every time the lead actress appeared on screen, asked each other dumbfounded “This is a MUSICAL?” when people started to sing, and one of the little shits actually took out his iPhone and said “Guys, pic!” and then took maybe three or four pictures of his friends with the flash on.

First time seeing The Dark Knight Rises and I’m comfortably seated. During the trailers about 9 similarly aged children come in being reckless and loud, with their mother (I’m assuming) trailing along behind them. She decided to use the flash from her camera to find a seat, and this continued for quite some time. She eventually got seated with her noisy spawns, but it didn’t stop there. Throughout the movie she shined her flash across the cinema for absolutely no reason. Not only that, a group of smart-ass teens behind me and my friend kept making “witty” observations very loudly. I went to see it a second time in a smaller theatre and didn’t have to deal with any of this.
