[quote author=Jollof]My girl and I went to see Jack and the Beanstalk Jack the Giant Slayer last night and it was more entertaining than I had anticipated (Though I never noticed any female giants, which begs the question, 'How on earth were such a mythical army of 'males' born in the first place?). We arrived in good time, bought the calorie-adding popcorn and fizzy drink, plus we were the third couple to walk into the screening room, allowing us to pick choice seats. Unfortunately there was one critical factor we were completely unprepared for and had no way of predicting - the unpredictability of Nigerian cinema goers. *flexes fingers* 1. Talking on their phones. Whilst we watched Fee Fi Fo Fum confront Jack, I had to hold myself from not confronting the buffoon on my row who was answering a mobile phone call. He made no attempt to whisper - you could hear every single word he was saying (so much so that I heard him say he would call back in 10 minutes when he knew fully well that the movie had another hour to go! Seriously?!!). He must have talked for a good 3 minutes with no interruptions - not even a 'shush' from anyone in the audience...bizarre. I know what I was thinking of telling him (To know what that was, click here only if you're 18 or older). 2. Putting their feet up on the seat in front. Despite the fact that the seats in Silverbird Cinemas Ikeja can be reclined (just like you have on airplanes) some movie goers here still feel the need to milk every possible position of comfort. Not only is putting your feet up on someone else's seat bad manners but it also makes the poor person sat in that chair look like a bunny rabbit with dirty ears! (imagine the soles of two shoes on top of someone's head). 3. Bringing babies under 1 year. I'm no expert on babies but I'm pretty sure that exposing their tiny eardrums to thunderous explosions aptly amplified by Dolby surround speakers (just for good measure) would not aid hearing development. I can understand the challenges of finding a trustworthy babysitter or persuading a relative to watch over the baby. However, there's always the earplugs option, the rent-a-DVD option or the wait-till-the-movie-comes-out-on- DVD option. For God's sake, prioritize! baby first, giants later! 4. Talking to the cinema screen. We all get carried away sometimes. But when there are other people around you there should be limits. At what point would a movie watcher realize that all his warnings and pockets of advice are not being ignored by the movie characters - THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU BECAUSE IT IS ONLY A MOVIE! Or maybe they just feel the people around them are probably so dim that we need an indirect explanation to bring us up to speed >> 'Thanks but I watched the movie synopsis, I'm familiar with this sort of mythological theme and story-line, and most importantly I have over 25 years of movie-watching experience!' Keep @jollof U nur get work! Y U Nur go buy d Tape 4 alaba make we see 4rnt. U get time to type all these crap mtchewww. |

The first thing girls do in the cinema is to take pictures and they don't stop until one or two minutes after the movie begins. Why do they chew popcorn that way? Why do they rustle the paper bag and dig into it like some treasure is buried deep within? They talk and giggle uncontrollably,even the china phone owners don't respect themselves.

@op have u heard/read abt d law of allowing? Secondly, with 25 years of cinema u shld be ashamed of yourself u still do not know the best viewing section of the cinema. Third, u didnot pay for their viewing so u don't have a say whether they leave b4 or after the movie. Fourth, on bring toddlers 2 d cinema u don't have any responsibilites and u will not understand y people bring them 2 d cinema, i am sure if you'd babysitted b4 you will not bragg abt your 25 years experience. Final you need 2 pursue a career in cinema viewing. Like seriously may be silverbird cinema may employ you. 1 Like |

My girl and I went to see Jack and the Beanstalk Jack the Giant Slayer last night and it was more entertaining than I had anticipated (Though I never noticed any female giants, which begs the question, 'How on earth were such a mythical army of 'males' born in the first place?). We arrived in good time, bought the calorie-adding popcorn and fizzy drink, plus we were the third couple to walk into the screening room, allowing us to pick choice seats. Unfortunately there was one critical factor we were completely unprepared for and had no way of predicting - the unpredictability of Nigerian cinema goers. *flexes fingers*Waitaminute! Quite some generalizations here, but I'll try show you this is not only common among Nigerians.
Go to any regular movie cinema around the world. I've been in quite a few in France, Germany, Turkey and UAE. People make phone calls in the cinema; receiving is almost normal. Some talk loud, others don't. Some quickly end the call; others persist. This is not a Nigerian thing; it's a human thing. We never seat still.
Now, am not so sure about this. This may be peculiar to Nigerians, but I won't be surprised to find any random toughbag doing it in a civilized environment. I haven't seen one, but I can be wrong.
Again this is a common thing all over the world. Some cinemas try to effect age restrictions by not selling tickets to moms with underaged children, except the movie is suitable for them. But if it's for the sound, pretty much normal to take a kid or a baby in there with you. I have seen this done in advanced countries; I have seen this done among foreigners in Nigeria as well. Acoustics is well managed across the cinema hall. In spite of the large sounds produced, there's good dissipation.
So normal when watching a movie, whether at the cinema, on your laptop or with friends. It's called participation and it's not unique to Nigerians.
This one is soooooo normal. All the cinemas I've been to all around the world, at least 50% of the people stand up before the movie ends. Yes, they do. While the credits are rolling, half the people are gone. I wonder why the OP finds this surprising. Cinemas are mostly situated in urban centers where rush and haste are common things.
So, no need to rant OP. Get used to it! 3 Likes |
