The cinema goer's good behaviour list

[moviegeek]

I am sure many of us had some issues when seeing a movie in the cinema with people who were simply unbehaved. I thought it would be really nice to make a small list with the things a civilized movie goer will do or not when at the cinema.

I'll start, feel free to add up to the list

1. If you have seen the movie before, please make sure you don't spoil it for the others. Of course it's nice to know so many things, but many of the people who are there might like to discover the plot by themselves

2. Sure you can eat during the movie. But try to open some "noisy" popcorn packs or anything that might make a noise before the movie starts. There's nothing less pleasant than seeing a nice intense scene and hearing you sip you Coke as if there was no tomorrow or opening a bag with the biggest noise you can make.

3. Don't laugh hysterically .. it's good that you have fun, but there is a line between being very amused and being an idiot.

.. come .. let's put some more

True- but if you are going to open something, just open it! Don't try to keep it quiet by opening it s-l-o-w-l-y. This just draws out the sound and is horribly annoying! If you are going to open a bag, just do it, and get it over with!

4. Please remember that it is a cinema, not a whore house. People have come to watch a movie, not to watch you make out with your new boyfriend/girlfriend. If you're getting along so well, wait for it to come out on dvd.

5. Turn OFF your mobile phones. It's a respect aspect, i do not like it when i hear phones ringing all over the place.

6. If you really have to answer the phone (they vibrate.. of course you can sense that) please go out.. do not talk on the phone during the movie, no matter how important it is.

7. If we were in a perfect world, the tall people would sit in the back and the little people in the front Since that is impossible, please try not to cover the whole screen area for the ones in the back.

8. Take a shower and brush your teeth before you go. No one wants to sit in a theatre next to a person with BO.

9. When eating-do it with your mouth closed. Hearing someone chew with wide open gob just makes me want to puke.

10. If you know that when you find something really funny, you tend to laugh like a hyena, please refrain. It might not be that funny.

11. How about people putting there feet on your seat back, I hate that... I have had to get up and move because of this before... But then maybe they were doing it on purpose and that was what they wanted to happen, being that I am a tall guy,
and I was probably obstructing there view...
lol...

So truly stated! Do people actualy think others enjoy watching them make up like that? Seriously folks! If people wanted that- they'd rent videos from another "type" of store.

I think those people think that because it's dark they can't be seen and can get away with it. I can understand a romantic peck on the cheek if you're watching a chick-flick or romance film, but not a makeout session if you're watching Shrek (as an example).
