she said her husband would no longer go to movies with her because of it.
Several of us immediately volunteered to accompany her to movies any time. :)

I love the theatre where I live. its called The Edge, and has a massive screen and the seats are tiered so you CAN see over the head of the person in front of you - even if they are 6' 8'' 
My cell phone rang in the theatre during FoTR  *insert Mexican Hat Dance*
I was sure I turned it off. I was so horrified!! It spoilt the film experience - I wanted it to be 'perfect' ... Ah well ...
But I never take my phone with me when I go to the movies now ... I learnt my lesson.
I go to the movies during the week - to try to avoid as many people as I can.
... and I used to go to the movies on New Years night - the late screenings which ran through the midnight celebration ... there'd be no one in the theatre except me and my friends ...(this happened 3 years running in Sydney) and we had the whole place to ourselves ... and on midnight we'd have our own party ... best place in town to celebrate!

I would like the gsdgets that France have in cinemas...

I remember reading that French cinemas can block signals to cell phones---and I wish that we had the same technology here in the U.K.I am so tired of the sheer rudeness of mobile phone users.I don't use a mobile and if anyone wishes to get in touch with me, even in an emergency, they know where I'll be.
I was watching TTT and, during a quiet scene with Arwen, a mobile phone rang and this kid started a very loud conversation without any thought to the packed cinema.I shouted at her to turn it off and she replied "I'm ON the phone".Well, my head just about exploded when the brat said that, so I charged out of my seat towards her, intending to grab the phone and stamp on it.She looked at me and I heard her say into the phone "Someone's coming....!" When she saw my face she turned off her phone and I told her to take her phone and leave....or I would take it off her.She left, with her friends and I went back to my seat, still fuming.It spoiled the performance for me but I won't put up with that kind of behaviour in the cinema.
My sister and I saw Kevin Costner's 'No Way Out' in Times Square in New York and there weren't that many people in the theatre.Well, the film started and a group of young men started talking over the film.We put up with it for a while but I had to ask them, very politely, if they wouldn't mind not talking while the film was playing.I think that they were so shocked that someone had admonished them, in an English accent(poshed up a little) no less, that they complied right away with no arguments.We sort of forgot that we were in a cinema in Times Square
My funniest cinematic experience was seeing Robert De Niro's 'Midnight Run' in Florida and the film had already started when a large group of elderly women arrived and sat before us.My sis and I looked at each other in amazement because 'Midnight Run' wasn't the sort of film we expected elderly women to enjoy.After the first string of expletives and the gasps of shock from the women, one turned to me and said "This isn't Who Framed Roger Rabbit is it?" I tell no lie--that really happened and my sis and I laughed so much that we missed a good part of the film.Poor dears

I try to go to showings when no one will be there...I wait until the film has been around for a while and then go to the latest show on a weeknight (Tuesday or Wednesday).

I spent all three New Years at the midnight viewings for all three films. It was wonderful!

Cinema actors rarely do curtain calls.

Don't be so stiff that you can't applaud at the end of a good film. I don't know why, but that really bothers me.
Unless you're at a premiere, it's unlikely that the actors will be able to hear you.
"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear."
