Guardian - I walked out of a showing of Barbie at the Odeon last week due to the behaviour of other people in the cinema – they were scrolling through phones, chatting as if they were in their own front room, waving their arms in the air during the musical number and whooping every time Ryan Gosling’s face appeared on screen. I enjoyed the opening 15min but was getting so stressed I had to go. Will try again in a few weeks time when the hype has died down.
Being at a loose end whilst visiting my Mum a few years ago, we decided to go and see the previous Mission Impossible. Enjoyment somewhat spoiled by the lady behind us putting her feet up on the back of Mum’s seat and flat out refusing to put them down when asked. Being fairly tall, I went for the simple expedient of swapping seats....
Bright phones, people mindlessly scrolling during a film, drinking so much you have to get up and go to the loo every five seconds, talking throughout. The cinema is so expensive, I genuinely don’t understand why people are on their phones and chatting through the experience! Kind of like people who talk through an entire gig. Just wait and see it at home if you can’t be quiet and respectful to others.
