I've got one...

[Donna Ree]

Okay, my family and I went to see Shark Tale last week.

This couple (with no kids) came in after the movie had started, but at least they sat down front (the theater had stadium seating) so that really wasn't the problem.

This guy throughout the movie kept coughing and clearing his throat...and I don't mean the polite kind of clearing his throat. It was like he was trying to hack up a lung or some other internal organ. The theater wasn't very full because we went to a matinee on a Friday afternoon...so I guess that's the reason no one really complained.

But I was so grossed out it was hard to pay attention or even hear the movie at some points. And you know how loud movies are played...it usually takes me awhile after a movie to get my full hearing back...so that's how loud this guy was.

He reminded me of when I was little and my grandpa used to smoke like a chimney and everytime he went into the bathroom he'd always hack up...well I won't go into details. If you've ever been around a life-long smoker you'll know the sound I'm talking about.

My question is, if this guy was sick, why was he out in public? And if he wasn't sick, then why didn't his companion tell him to keep it down? That couldn't have been pleasant for her sitting right next to him. It was disturbing to me and we were at least 12 rows behind him.

I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're going to a movie to hack up an internal organ, please don't do it when I'm in the theater. Okay?

Man, I cannot stand it when people cough like that and I'm not in a situation to get out of earshot. Thanks for the horror story, I'll get it posted.

That reminds me to post Ms. Cali's old story as well.

I hate it when people do that. But this one time this couple sittting behind me fell asleep in LOTR:The Two Towers. And in Star Wars ep.2 this guy kept having to explain to his wife everything about star wars.

When it comes to horror stories in cinemas I m Hammer films..

1)I went to see the Others and the person behind me had already seen the film so after the first five minutes his cell phone rings, he answers,talks for about 30 seconds and then says "no,no,The Others.The one with Kidman.Where they re all dead from the beginning".

2)The Fellowship OF The Ring.I went to see it almost 2 weeks after it opened because I was abroad and it hadnt opened there so,being a huge fan of the books (but not a purist) this was like a dream come true.Well not really, behind me i had a group of fans who knew all the lines and kept saying them along with the characters on screen.And a few rows back, there was an old woman with her 5 year old grandson..the kid was yelling, or he was talking loudly saying stuff like "IS FRODO DEAD?" or "DO THE ELVES LOVE FRODO?". I complained to her and she answered " the kid is a big lord of the rings fan"..

3)Toy Story 2. The cinema is packed with kids and there this guy,obviously a parent,who answers a phone call in the middle of the film and starts talking about horse betting!!! "That horse was 3rd in that race,the other one is in good conditions lately" etc...

4) The Exorcist (director s cut).The two idiots sitting in front of me started laughing from the first time the saw Reagan posessed so after 10 minutes I kick the guy s seat and tell him to shut up.He stands up and tells me "hey,you could use some manners", "SHUT UP or I swear i ll punch you".And he did shut up.

5)Magnolia. There was an old man in the cinema,obviously ill or something and he couldnt help falling asleep and snore like a dragon.I went to wake him up for at least 5 times but he couldnt stay awake,i could see his head in the dark,after 2 minutes he would fall asleep again. Ok,some of you will say that Magnolia is sleep inducing but that wasnt the case.

I just remembered another. LOTR The Two Towers.
I had alredy seen thisovie a couple of times ut my family was down from Ohio so we went to see this. There were these three kids in front of me who looked about in the third grade. They were laughing and making jokes through the whole thing. Finnaly in the scene were Aragorn is floating down the river One of the kids said. "Look hes swimming!" They then proceeded to burst out laughing. I leaned over to them told them to shut up and smacked one of them across the head. His mother who was there said "HEY!" "DONT YOU EVER TOUCH MY KID!" Everybody in the theatar told her to shut up. And i hit her across the head to.

Ouch. That reminds me of the time my dad told somebody at work that he was gonna take my mom to see The Sixth Sense that night. The guy told him, "It's pretty good. It turns out that Bruce Willis is a ghost." I don't know how my dad refrained from punching the guy.

My dad did avoid telling my mom the big secret though.

*SPOLIERS*


Thats like this time at the theater I walked in the bathroom (had to clean . ) and this guy said "The Village is so stupid the monsters arent even real." Based on that info I was able to figure it all out. Everything.

SPOILERS!!!


Just like the time I rented the psychological/horror/thriller Abandon starring Katie Holmes (This was just after Dawson's Creek ended, and I was still enamored with her.). I took the copy I had up to the front counter and the girl said "Oh, this one's really good." I thought she was gonna stop there. Then she said "I can't believe Katie Holmes was the killer after all." I was so ticked! I still haven't seen that movie yet because of that.
