Cinema

Having been to the cinema rather often lately, I've been well annoyed by certain things. Therefore, I've decided to write a 5 point guide on how to act at a cinema.

1) Arrive EARLY. You can still walk in the theatre during the trailers, that's fine, but once the movie's started you're just going to ANNOY and DISTURB other people. Arriving early shouldn't be too difficult as the trailers most of the times, especially in big commercial cinemas take about 20 minutes from the announced starting time of the film.

2) This one basically has to do with the first point. Go to the toilet BEFORE the movie. When you arrive at the cinema early, you'll have time to empty your bladder before the film starts and you won't have to go to the toilet while the movie's playing. Not only will going to the toilet during the movie spoil your own experience it will also spoil the cinema experience of all your fellow viewers. And for fuck's sake! if you really, really need to go PLEASE don't let the door slam when you go out (or into) of the theatre.

3) Surprisingly, this as well has to do with the first point. DO NOT talk. When you arrive early you can chat with your friends before the film, during the trailers and such. (Some people seem to think that it's wrong for people to chat during trailers, but as long as you don't speak too loudly, it's fine by me.) DO NOT in any case talk when the film has started. All talk should end when the production companies' logos come on the screen.

4) If you've got to eat in the cinema make sure your sweets, popcorn, whatever is in a box or something that doesn't really make a sound while you're reaching for something to eat. Sounds of eating are extremely annoying especially in a full theatre where the sounds are multiplied by tens if not hundreds of people eating. I understand that snacks might make your cinema experience more enjoyable, but please do your best to keep the noises down.

5) KEEP your mobile SILENT! And if you can't resist answering your phone TURN IT OFF. If you're going to answer your phone during the movie there's no point in having it on silent. Seriously, no talking in the cinema. Not in your mobile or to other people. Especially not your mobile.

There. This could've been a lot better, I might edit it later (I have a feeling there may be more than one spelilng mistakes etc.)
