What ruins a good movie for you?

Yes, when I was younger, watching a lot of bloody scenes really disturbed me though I love that movie now. I've seen a lot of bad horror films too. Maybe they think it builds up suspense when nothing happens. Why would movies be ruined if you're too old? You're never too old for movies

Do you think that's because of the difference in technology. Modern movies have al sorts of "special effects" that were not available in older movies? Look at the first Star Wars compared to the last one. Sometimes older movies just seem primitive even if it has a good storyline.

i agree with the opinion above. As for me, movies always are ruined by too much special effect made by computer technology. The movie made without the process of computer will be more acceptable to audience. And it seems to me more likely to link the pure films with the origin of life which is most beautiful in the world.

Newly released movies are more popular and have more chance of distractions. There's a dollar theater at your town? That's a great offer. We have to pay the same high price for the movie no matter when it was released. Lucky you. Which college ar eyou at? Maybe I want to change colleges too ^.^ joking. Thanks for your response

I live near the University of Oklahoma. It's an excellent college, depending on what your major is. Your name implies that you may be an artist, and you'd be interested in knowing that there are terrific artistic opportunities throughout the whole Oklahoma City Metro area. Check us out with this INFORMATION ONLY website: http://www.visitnorman.com/default.aspx Look up the OU College website if you're interest too. I moved here from Massachusetts 5 years ago, and I love it here. And not only is there a dollar theater, but not too far away there is a drive-in theater which shows 3 first-release movies for $5 per person....

Some movies require views to really concentrate to fully enjoy it. As for romantic comedies, my mother spoils those for me. Though I don't purposely try to watch it with her, she'll walk by and start commenting how it's not like that in real life even if what the actors were doing was trying to be funny. I also know it's just a movie, Mother.

ha ha ha you mother is really correct in her comments but dear, cant we visit dream land once in a while and be happy ?? i want that ... cheers

Strangers who follow you around? As in follow you out of the theater when you're heading to the restroom? That is pretty scary.

I knew he was up to something following me around. i ran back to the seats and never looked back. i never went back to theaters ever again. but if i do i make sure i had a knife to defend with

My own room is also the best place for me to watch a movie at home where there could be no distractions besides my mother calling me for dinner. Thanks for responding

Haha, yes but then where would we get food to eat? ^.^ Ha, just joking. It's annoying to be disturbed during a movie but she just wants me to eat before my food gets cold. Annoying but still happy she cares for me

That has to be pretty annoying. The theaters are pretty quiet in my area though, I think it's due to a rather annoying commercial from AMC about viewers adding their own soundtrack. Maybe they should play that at your theaters too. Thanks for your response

well i am from india and i guess most theatres here are like that except for multiplexes which have come up recently

Maybe you should go with friends who haven't seen the movie yet. People like to give spoilers for some strange reason. My mother always try to talk to be when I'm on the computer watching the movie. I feel bad if I shush her but I really want to concentrate on the movie.

Yes, I re-watched a lot of old movies that I watched with my mother when I was younger and now I understand them a lot better. I always arrive early for movies but the previews does run for a long time. Thanks for your response

Yup, there has been a lot of complaints about cellphones. People take advantage of the new technologies sometimes. I would again suggest your theater play the commercial that makes fun of audiences who makes noise during the movie. I think that's one of the reason why our local theater is so quiet.

Some people are just not into movies and rather talk. That shouldn't mean they could ruin the movie experience for others though. From the opinions I've gathered so far, my conclusion is movies should be something watched alone

Maybe you should reserve some time for yourself to enjoy the really good movies. With a really good movie, and I'm serious about this, it could change your life. Some movies that did this for me is Step up, Freedom Writers, Seven Pounds and Kill Bill. If not, a decent movie is good to get rid of boredom too. Thanks for your response

The plot just goes off track sometimes. I don't know, maybe the script writer was being creative but it's hard to get those movies if it's even possible. Thanks for your response

Why would your mother yell? Is it like when you're watching TV and suddenly your mother loudly screams your name from the kitchen for you to go help her? Well, that's what always happen to me. I'll be forced to stop the movie and come back later. Ah, parents. Thanks for your response

People don't talk in the theaters in my area. Sometimes someone would comment on the previews but not during the movie. Maybe the people at where you live are just more friendly.

It can definitely throw views off when the movie suddenly switch tones. I love my happy endings but they just don't belong in some movies. Thanks for your response

Did you watch it at the theater? If you had the DVD then you can turn the subtitles off. I also hate it when movies have subtitles. I couldn't help myself but focus my attention on them since they are there. Thanks for responding

A lot of users are saying their theaters are noisy. I guess I must be lucky because no one talks in my local theaters. Sure, my little cousins disturb me when I try watching a movie at home but usually it is quiet at the theater. Maybe there should be a "Please Do Not Talk" sign in theaters.

So frustrating to have to leave the theater and miss a good scene when we need to use the restroom. I usually try to hold it but then I wouldn't be able to concentrate on the movie either. Thanks for your response

Spoilers are awful. Maybe someone does like knowing the story ahead of time(I honestly know no one like that) but most people want to watch the movie themselves. I also know it is hard to be quiet when I already watched the movie but that doesn't mean I have the right to ruin it for someone else

Haha, i must admit I'm also guilty of asking what movie the actress is from. It's very distracting when I know I know her from somewhere but can't figure it out where. My mother is guilty of poking holes in good films saying that's not how it is in real life. Why don't she get it that I also know it's only a movie. Ah well, thanks for your response
