I`m just back from the cinema having watched Tim Burtons Corpse Bride. I very good movie ( i`ll give it 4 stars), but the film was spoilt a bit by people eating. Not in the film, but in the cinema.
The usual polite notice is screened before the movie; do not spoil the enjoyment of others by smoking or rustling wrappers and switch off your mobile phone. Fair enough. But what about the couple to my right who are eating hot dogs letting the greasy smell of fried onions fill part of the auditorium. Or the ones to my left with giant buckets of popcorn, hands in and out of the bucket feeding their faces, crunch, crunch. Or the family in front with large bags of boiled sweets, undoing the wrappers, sucking on the delights that the noisy bags yield up and slurping down mouthfulls of coke from mega containers. All this stuff is sold by the cinema (at inflated prices) who displayed the polite notice.
I could understand if these were all fat people who were unable to survive a couple of hours without a food fix, but they are not.
Why do people have to consume large amounts of food and drink while watching a movie?
