Comic Strips

Drunk lady laying her head on the back of my buddy’s chair to nap then almost having to fight her daughter when they got kicked out. Bitch screamed that I was a racist, everyone involved was white except for the usher so that was fucked up.

She caused so much commotion everyone in the theater got free ticket vouchers. I think she was arrested. This was Nov 2008 at Saw 2 which is a terrible movie to start. I didn’t go to the theater for 10 years I think after that.

Saw one of the Bourne movies and this bitch was yelling at the screen while the guy behind me was getting a loud blowjob. Fucking ghetto theater

I saw the 2nd fast and furious movie in theaters.

Everytime someone was shown shifting gears some kid in the audience made a “skrrrrrt” sound real loud.

The entire movie.

Start to finish.

Not the worst, but just saying that I saw the Minecraft Movie almost alone. There were like two other people and I was with my mum.

Decent film.

I saw the M. Night Shyamalan Avatar movie in theaters when I was a kid who was obsessed with Avatar. I knew the movie was going to be bad but I loved the series so much there was a bit of me that hoped it was going to be okay but no, it was even worse than my worst expectations, and completely disrespected all the characters and the series as a whole. I have seen worse movies both in and out of theaters, but the combo of my sheer love of the Avatar franchise and just how much this movie sucked plus being in a theater unable to just turn it off or leave was pretty rough.

If we're talking in the past few years, I would say the worst theater experience was watching another terrible movie, Midway (2019), while some teens behind me were doing hand stuff to each other and not being particularly subtle about it.

I’ve experienced a group of people literally just talking and having a conversation for the entire movie. Like they spent money to talk when they could do it for free outside. But that’s common and a boring answer.

My other more interesting answer is my one and only experience at an Alamo Drafthouse theater. I didn’t enjoy it not because there were unruly people, but it was the servers themselves who were distracting. For those unaware, Alamo prides itself for being strict with talkers and phone users, and you can call the attention of an usher to kick out someone not following the rules. In my actual experience, the audience was behaved. But the servers were noisily moving around the theater to the point it was distracting. Every couple of minutes I’d see a silhouette of a head moving across the screen, sometimes stopping in the middle to take someone’s order. I’d hear shuffling behind me and sometimes bumping my seat. Then the server working my section literally stood in front of me blocking my view just to ask if I had any last food orders. This was when places were just starting to open up after the pandemic, so I’m guessing these were a bunch of undertrained new hires, or people who weren’t paid enough to give a fuck. Either way, I’ve never been to an Alamo ever since.

I was gifted a ticket to Ghost Rider 2. I felt ripped off and walked out.

Someone snored loudly during Oppenheimer in IMAX.

The snoring stopped for a short while when the nuke went off.

The comic, to me, could have ended on the second panel, and I would have been satisfied with that.

Joker is a decent movie, but it could have been a standalone film. Why use the characters and setting from DC but not utilise them fully or even properly?

It seemed like the film was ashamed to admit it was a comic book movie while also needing the DC label to survive the studio pitch and succeed at the box office.

I regretted seeing the movie based solely on strong word of mouth, rather than doing my own research. But at least it made me avoid the sequel which, according to word of mouth, crashed and burned, taking the apparent love and reverence for the first instalment along with it.
