Last night I rented several movies.
Watched them all, and noticed several things that just ruin the story line.
1) Love, its so cliche, risking your life for your love and everything.
2) Repeating something someone said, Like in the Matrix Reloaded; Morpheous says "Somethings change blah blah", and later Naobi says the same thing to the captain. Its just stupid.
3) Long sex scenes. :laughing: Sure, they are cool, but I mean it has nothing to do with the story. We know they are doing it.
4) Fighting scenes: Some of them are amazing, but you call tell when they go to far in choreopgraphing it. I mean I dont like them dancing, i want them fighting.
Post what ruins a movie for you.

people ruining the endings :eek:
-
i hate it when they over empises stuff, u know will come back at the end.. like on dog soliders
spoilers

Biggest thing that ruins going to theatres:
black people
^^^ joke
-
I hate it when you are in the theatre and you can\'t hear the film for the *fwap fwap fwap fwap behind you. ;)
-
in the theatres.... I would have to say parents who bring thier little kid who doesnt sop yelling, crying etc. Cellphones going off (there is a vibrate feature on most of them...correct?) and people who dont know how to shut up!
:hat:ScottyJ:hat:
-
I\'m totally against age restrictions and stuff like that... But sometimes I really have to scratch my head when mom\'s are bringing in 2-3 year olds to see Texas Chainsaw Massacre or American Wedding...
Seriously folks...
-
Poor endings. The entire movie may be sorry but you MUST have the audience on the edge of their seat at the end of a movie. Lord of the Rings Two Towers was a good movie, but the poor ending really took all the energy out of it at the end. I know its in the middle of 3 movies but come on. A good example of a good ending is Jurrasic park
-
What was wrong with the ending in Two Towers?
-
I think it should have ended right after they drove the guys out of the mountain. But instead they continued on showing a rather dull season with Frodo then a 2 minute scene of Golum fighting with himself. Instead of coming out of the movie theater excited after seeing the helms deep scene, I came out depressed and weary. I think the movie should have ended after Gandalf said the fight for middle earth has just begun, maybe they could have shown a little more celebration, and thats it. Instead, they ended the movie on a low note, with the golum. I didnt find the golum scene suspensful, because we already knew he was wanting revenge.
But thats just my opinion. There have been worst endings, but I just named this one because I knew it was widespread
-
Man, I havent been to the theatre in since "The Hulk" :laughing:
5)And gum on the seats, nothing pisses me off more.
BTW: This can be about the movie, not ness. the theatre experience
-
Lack of intellectual storylines.
-
People kicking the back of my seat.
People talking on their way down the aisle.
CELL FREAKING PHONES.
ANSWERING CELL FREAKING PHONES!!!
Dust on the film.
Creaky seats.
The price.
The price when the movie sucks.

Concession prices are so ridiculously high... I always crack on the people working there telling them they\'re all Nazi\'s.

"Biggest thing that ruins going to theatres:

You guys may be pretending to joke about that but its rather ignorant to be so bias against a race. I\'ve been in movie theaters where white people were rude in loud talking etc.
BTW, I know deep inside you feel all black people are all loud talking etc, which isnt very smart...please drop the stereotypes...your judging people by the color of their skin..its rediculous
And I know that black boy whipped your butt in elementary or your so intimidated by them you fear them, and you hide behind a monitor and say this but wouldnt dare say it in front of them. listen, get over the whippin the black boy gave you and move on
-
Vivi is an idiot. Bossieman has proved it.
-
1. Loud teenage girls
2. Loud teenage girls with there feet on my chair
3. Little kids

Dude, he was joking. It\'s just a stereotype... get over it.
-
Yeah...he was joking in a serious tone. You know....the sort of joke that has some a dash of insult thrown in.
Kinda like saying "Dude, your girlfriend is ugly! JUST KIDDING!"
I know what he meant. You know....when you say "J/K" sorta makes you immune.
-
Shutup whitey.

ALL stereotypes have truth behind them

How about him saying "disruptive" black people, not just black people. Just saying black people means every black person is disruptive at movie theaters. That is just ignorant. To make matters worst, I guess he doesnt mind disruptive "white" people?
And what also bugs me is that people who say comments like that usually have a grudge against who they say it about.
-
I\'m sick and tired of every character in an action movie being a black belt, I miss the John Wayne type of fights
*looks fondley back at The Quiet Man
-
i\'m going to keep my mouth shut about black people and movie theatres
:dance:

Very true.
When I first read his comment I was like, "What a dick."
But I just figured it was a little dick guy ragging on another race to make himself feel better.
But it wasn\'t worth the time to rant for a page.
-
so that stereotype about Americans having gigantic members?
-
Though this isn\'t as widespread as the stupid cell phone issue Vid brought up, which is also mind-numbingly annoying, but it does happen from time to time -- when the projector, or the person working the projector, somehow screws up and the movie loses sound or the reel suddenly ends. It\'s happened to me on a couple of occasions. I remember when I was about nine years old and my family and I went to a local drive-in to watch Star Trek VI on the big screen and had to wait 3 hours after the sun had set just because they were having projector problems. Pretty stupid, but that\'s the biggest foul up I can remember in my movie going experience.
I guess the theatre food is pretty terrible and overpriced to boot.
-
Had that happen, got a couple free movie passes from it.
Cell phones still top the list though. Brought a girl with me one time who decided it was appropriate to answer he cell and continue to talk to the person on the other side. Very embarassing. Almost left her at the theater for that one.
-
shoulda Ike Turnered her!
-
my #1 theatre peeve
ghetto chicks (race not important) that bring infants and let them cry
-
I have no idea why parents bring babies... Seriously... Get a babysitter... Or lock the kid in a closet.
-
Other people just piss me off. (Suburban kids who like rap mostly)

Man, whatever. HAHAHA...im not racist in any way. But here in Mesquite, AMC 30 on friday night is like black people everywhere. I don\'t mind, but when you start seeing black girls screaming at each other when their 3 inches away from you, a group of black boys that sway and wear green jerseys with their pants down tot heir toes, and silver chains, a group of black kids yelling at a group of white kids to go **** themselves because the white kids are going to see Bringing down the house and theyer white so they shouln\'t be seeing that...Im sorry but most of the steryotypes on black people they bring it upon themselves.
"HAHAHA OHHH SHIT MY NIGGA, THAT WHITE DUDE IS CRAZY. NIGGA, THAT NIGGA UP THERE AINT BLACK, IF HE WUZ BLACK HE WOULD OF KILLED THAT WHITE NIGGA UP THERE"
------Few comments from some teenage black kids sitting i billion seats in front of us----
I don\'t really have many pet peeves, or someone with a cell phone with billions of colors
-
1. Loud teenage girls
2. Loud teenage girls with there feet on my chair
Loud teenagers while Orlando Bloom is on the screen. -_- Like as if the guy would ever consider any of them as his potential girlfriend.

Hey, that\'s not necessarily the projectionist\'s fault. :)
I\'ve sometimes had trouble because the machine screwed up, or because the guy splicing the movie together made a mistake. It really sucks, but mostly the projectionist isn\'t at fault. :)
But it is his/hers fault is the picture isn\'t aligned properly, if it\'s out of focus or the sound volume\'s wrong.
-
Like I said, the projector OR the person working the projector. ;)

Pfft, you suck pussyboy! :p

Is a baby crying in a theatre considered a stereotype?
My biggest pet peeve is someone talking during a movie. It almost always leads to a what just happened question. It ends up being a vicious cycle.
-
Teenage doofuses.. I swear those kids who act black and dress like Nelly that think they are so badass for being obnoxious.. :mad:
Yea, babies and cellphones too. :mad:
-
One good thing is when teenagers are being annoying and some middle-aged guy turns around and tells them to "Shut the **** up!" Thats always funny....
-
You guys do realize Spudz meant the actual movie, right? :)
-
Tell him to word the thread better then.
-
1. Cell Phones
(Do people see the commercial that says "Please turn off all Cell Phones and Pagers" and just ignore it?)
2. Babies
(Why bring a ****ing baby to see Kill Bill. Did that make sense when you first left the house? If you have to see a movie so bad that you can\'t bother getting a baby sitter or even leaving the theater when he starts crying then don\'t get upset when annoying teenagers throw milkduds at you.)
3. People Talking
(Shut the Hell up !!!!11!!1one!!one11)
-
1. I have to go to das pooper.
2. I have to go peeper.
3. I forgot to pickup my fiance to watch the movie. And all the while, I was pissed off wondering why she was late. :p

LOL! Bet she was kinda pissed too. :laughing:
-
I just took her to a fancy dinner instead and THEN we saw the movie together afterwards. :p she just thought I was late. :D

[/b]It was an obvious joke, even Gohan noticed it. So shut up and go read your bible freak.

Oh really? My best friend growing up in Texas was black. I\'ve never gotten in a fight with a black person (a wigger from the middle east though).
BTW clowd, you\'re such a hardass :rolleyes:
Don\'t reply. I don\'t want to ruin this thread by talking to a perfect christian like you.
-
AHEM. You all are reffering to "Ghetto" people. Who cares what the hell they wear. You dont see me ragging on white kids that like to wear spikes and tight pants and think its trendy (never admitting it) to have pale skin and black hair. And yes i know it was a joke.
1 Loud ass people
2 kids
3 taller people sitting right in front of me when their entire row is empty
4 people putting their feet on my chair
5 sticky floors
6 Yuppies
&
7 Drunk white men (joking:p)

Well I hope to God you could understand me.
-
people who get pissed off if I happen to masturbate during the movie.
-
Well I would expect them to get pissed off when their popcorn has a new layer of butter.
-
That reminds me, once I was waiting in line to fill my cup with soda, and this kid (maybe 12) in front of me is putting butter on his popcorn. And like the dispenser isn\'t working too well for him, so being the genius that he is, he slams his fist down on the button and butter explodes everywhere and gets all over my shirt. He just quickly scurried away and didn\'t even apologize. All I managed to do was call him a "stupid f@ggot" as he walked off as I wiped my shirt off.
-
That happened to me, but with the cheese dispenser.
I was waiting for Monsters Inc to start, and this little girl wanted cheese, alot. So she put her finger to take off the crust (WTF?), and she slams it down, cheese gets all over my shoe and the carpet. She just puts more on.
They were brand new too. :rpissed:
-
This damn over weight retarded ass darth vader\'s cock sucker spilled coke on my brand new white gucci shirt like 2 weeks ago, then the same stupid retarded half brained pokemon lover hit me with some god damn fake light saber. WTF?! He was watching the same God damn movie as me, 2F2F?!
-
Let me just put in a cultural comment. Seems putting butter on your popcorn is not uncommon in the US.... eeeew eeew and eeew I say. No wonder US trucks are so big - they have to be in order to fit Mr. McAmerican. :eek:

Ha! A f@ggot "splooged" on your shirt. :p That is so quotable!
-
Damnit... it sure is.
-
I hate the punk ass teeny boper that is watching monsters inc with me and my kids who thinks for some reason that they paid more to watch the movie than I did and give me dirty looks because my kids cant sit still for 2 freaking hours..... FOR GOD SAKES he\'s 4.
On the other hand I hate it when I pay good money for a babysitter to watch a more "adult" movie and some dad bring his noisy ass little kids with to watch it to and he wont sit still for 2 hours.

Hehe, am I the only one who kinda cracked up when he read that line?
Some guys need to lay off the racism stuff. It\'s only a joke. If you think it\'s a bad one, that doesn\'t make a person worse.
Or does it.
By the way, people talking in the rows behind me drives me crazy. I had it with a group of kids once and got up to move. I circled back around them. They looked scared shitless, prolly thought I was about to pick a fight.
