To those who have zero tolerance for even the slightest bit of distraction in the cinema, do yourself a favour, watch the movie when it isn't in its opening/prime time or don't watch at all. When you're in a cinema packed with people, there is a possibility that there would be a distraction or 2 during the movie. I understand if you have a beef against people who are inconsiderate and continuously distracting other viewers but can't even stand people going out to toilet or accepting a quick 5-second call silently? It must be stressful for you to actually complete a 2-hour show in the cinema eh lol?

You could argue that you have the rights to complain and b*tch about it as much as you like, but at the end of the day, it's not gonna change a thing. Nature call would still happen, people will still be reading text messages and the cinema would still sell popcorns.

As for bad experience, I usually watch my movies during weekdays or midnights, so I haven't really had any major ones. I'm pretty ok with kids asking questions now and then as children would still be children, you could assert any amount of control on them and they'ill still talk. What I can't stand is though is them talking non-stop and the parents letting it happen. doh.gif

Speaking of parents, I had this wtf incident. I was watching a midnight show with my friends and in front of us was a malay family with 2 kids who are around 3-5 yrs old. The kids were pretty much ok - one sleeping and the other one watching silently. But the father kept talking to his kid loudly and even called out to his wife (Who is 3 seats away.) to wake his other kid up doh.gif . Luckily it was only Blades of Glory...
