: Then there was the time they got the reels mixed up so I saw the end of Long Kiss Goodnight before I saw the middle.
: Then there was the usher who told me to "watch my step" in a cinema without steps. I think he was trying to annoy me.
: Plus the old guy who whistled the whole way through "Scrooged". Can't remember the tune.
: Manchester Utd. Football Club (almost all of them) sat in front of me during "Weird Creatures", and only Eric Cantona laughed. We were nowhere near Manchester, obviously.
: There was a guy who puked over at least 10 people during Born On The Fourth Of July, the guy who tripped and threw popcorn and coke over about 6 rows of people (Starship Troopers), The Night Where Everyone In The Whole Cinema Was Wearing Jeans Except Me (War Games - I was 7 and wearing a tracksuit) and the guy who was so annoyed by the ringing of a mobile phone, he pulled it off its owner and threw it at the screen (Jackie Brown).
My personal favorites:
Going to watch the Star Wars special edition and watching one fan a couple of rows up get so freakin' excited about the first appearance of R2-d2 (or some such event he surely have seen a few thousand times on video) that he jumped up to high-five his buddy and spilled his Coke all over a girl I used to work with. Of all people on the face of the Earth, I am glad it was her! Then a few minutes before the death star was about to explode in all of its newly jazzed up snazziness...the movie turned off for about 6 minutes and came on again several minutes after the part it left off, thereby ruining the whole climax of the battle!
While watching the Haunting, there was several minutes worth of odd grinding/crackling noises which covevered up the speech. This happened when I went to see the House on haunted hill and also Sleepy Hollow!
Then there was the lovely experience of going to watch Man in the Iron Mask and having my friend's clumsy girlfriend trip onto me while trying to get back to her seat and she somehow knocked the lid off of my steaming hot spiced chai and it all poured directly down my shirt. Boiling hot, it seared my chest so bad that I had a red burn mark the size of a basketball on my chest for a week afterwards. I also couldn't get the scent of spiced chai off of me for several hours.
That same stupid girlfriend of his also insisted we watch Great Expectations with Gwenneth Paltrow...unfortunately the movie played without any bizarre incidents. However...it REALLY sucked!
Finally, there was the disgusting time when a female friend and I decided to watch You've Got Mail ( we both had online relationships at the time so we thought it would be appropriate to watch), and we were treated
to the site of some skanky chick giving her guy pal a handjob and trying to be discreet by covering his lap with his jacket. We were totally grossed out when we left the theater behind them and noticed he had shot his wad onto the back of his black suede jacket...which he was now wearing!! EEEEEWWWWWW!!!! *JEFF*
