Munching and rustling during performances.

It is a sad state of affairs when many of the audience in cinemas and theatres cannot last for a couple of hours without guzzling food.

What does it say about consideration for others in the audience.

I'm not surprised that some people have to go pee during the performance when each in-performanc bar visit results in four pints per couple - plus whatever they had before the performance started.  My worry is that as the night goes on they become less able to hold their drink - and it gets tipped over the rows in front. Hence the sticky carpet everywhere. Amazing the cleaners can get the pop-corn off it at all.  The hotdog smell, however, lingers everywhere.

So we still dress up for the cinema - just it is now in old bin-ready gear and not our latest fashions.

Last time we went to the cinema there wasn't an interval. We found it annoying that people kept going in and out to buy drinks and food. Very distracting, especially when they are in the same row as you???

I'm surprised anyone can hear all the munching and crunching, the sounds systems in cinemas are so loud you need ear plugs to get through the adverts. Wink

Agree Brue. Super loud audio at multiplex cinemas. Sheffield has a lovely art house type cinema called the Showroom. It has around four screens I think, but not huge auditoriums, so is a lot nicer for quieter films. They have a lovely bar and restaurant as well, and do little paper bags of mixed sweets. I don't mind going to big screens for things like the Hobbit and LOTR, where special effects are great part of film, but for quieter films, like Mr Turner and Far from Madding Crowd, Showroom was a lot nicer. Opposite station as well, so easy for us to get to without car!Happy
