680317, Shit you've witnessed go down in a theatre during a movie.
Posted by bwood, Wed Jun-11-14 06:16 PM
What have you witnessed in a theater?

This past weekend some dude too drunk to make any decisions was essentially raped by his date. She let the theater know he went out with her as a dare and he would never sleep with her (she then proceeded to yell out how much Nottingham High School sucked). She was promptly arrested.

But...

I've witnessed some shit go down in a theater during a movie:

Major drug deals

Pistol whipping

Money exchanges

Fights

Trading off children (still not sure what I and others witnessed that night)

come to think of it, it's a miracle I wasn't caught
We weren't blatant but someone must have noticed/heard something

I haven't witnessed no crazy fights or shit like that
belligerent dudes getting escorted out is about it

Me and my ex thought we were just gonna full-on smash during the 11:30 showing of The Incredibles. We were alone through the whole set of trailers, but the movie starts, and this Asian lady and her child come sit directly in the row in front of us. We're tryin to go at each other the whole time without breathing too hard or moaning and this lady keeps looking back at us in the dark.


I've always wondered; do they have any kind of night-vision cams in theaters to "catch" people trying to bone?
680618, Yes

Aside from the quality of said film, that is.

>showed up early and had sex in the theater.

I'm going to need to clarification on this one: Did you witness this while you were working at a theater, or did the couple who had sex in the theater also work there? Or both?
680340, Just kids being stupid.
Posted by SoulHonky, Mon Jun-09-14 12:43 PM
One group kind of started with me and my friends when they walked in but nothing happened; they were high school kids and we were in middle school and one of the kids realized that and told his friends not to mess with us. But then another group of high schoolers walked in and about ten minutes into the movie there was shouting and we looked back and the two groups started fighting.

>I'm going to need to clarification on this one: Did you
>witness this while you were working at a theater, or did the
>couple who had sex in the theater also work there? Or both?

I witnessed it while I was working in the theater. No idea who the couple was. A girl I worked with told me that she thought people were having sex in the theater. I laughed and then went in to check, and got halfway down the aisle and realized that yes, they were indeed having sex. I

a giant dude jerking it in Troy.

Not that that was the only time something like that happened, but I only had to go sit in the auditorium and make sure he wasn't doing it during that one.

The best/worst was getting an accidental glimpse of a middle school couple making out, because the guys are still smaller than the girls and it just looks so off-putting.
680332, Like, divorced parents at the end of a week?

Otherwise, "trading off children" sounds like the worst thing.

Posted by Dae021, Mon Jun-09-14 02:24 PM
Black dude white chick sitting down watching the movie, and these ratchet ass boston chicks sat down behind them. Started talking wild shit to them.

We're pissed because they're talking loud during the movie, but they ain't paying us any mind. The girl finally gets some balls because the dude is REAL shook. She tells them to shut up while people ar........ (smack, punch, grab, pull, punch, kick) scream, blood the whole deal. They beat and walked this little girl out into the aisle and was about to REALLY start laying into her.

Then the movie kats rolled in, the lights came on. The cops who sit out front rolled in and then black chicks blmed the incredibly beat up white chick, meanwhile the black dude was straight chillin. Like CHILLIN nor a hair out of place and never got hit. Meanwhile his princess took the real L for him. Shit was so real.

Until they turned the lights on and we saw the whole of what they did to ole girl.

Young you could hear the connections, but we thought she was turned around and bending down to sort of protect her face. Twas not the case, she caught ALL those blows.

She was leaking, but she ain't cry though.

Meanwhile her ain't shit man was clean as fuck, knowing he let her drive and pay for the tickets.

That was about it.

It was ugly, I felt horrible because we were separated by like 4 or 5 people. None of the other white people in the crowd wanted any of them Roxbury chicks.

Dog it was so bad, homie THOUGHT about staying and watching the movie after they helped the chick outta the theater. Like he turned back to the movie, then grabbed the popcorn and soda and trotted out.

It was raw

i saw tower heist there a couple years back. a guy kept doing this delayed laugh. he would say "AHA!" in a really high voice a couple seconds after the jokes he really liked. it was funny the first couple times, then he did it for a really lame joke (forget what it was, but they mentioned miss piggy i think). no one else laughed at the joke, and his timing couldn't have been worse. there was a clearly funnier joke that followed it and no one could hear it. people turned on him REAL quick with several boos and a nice, loud "STFU!". he cut it out until the last couple minutes, which was annoying, but he picked a much better spot that time.
680518, I read that as "a tower heist"

Posted by KneelB4Me, Mon Jun-09-14 07:44 PM
It was some suspense thriller, afternoon show. Baby was crying when the lights first went out,then got quiet so I assumed the mother had put her to sleep. I saw the baby lying on an empty seat later. During a quiet moment in the movie, I heard a thud then the baby started crying. Mother took the baby out in the hall to let her cry it out, then brought the baby back in to watch the rest of the movie.

Triflin bitch.

Was in HS went with my boys to see it. We are chilling and during the entire previews these other HS kids behind us wouldnt shut up. Nobody said anything because it was the previews. Movie starts and comments about everything. This chick in front of us says shut up bitch and they giggle. Then WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY! This big old ripped white dude stands up. Im like oh shit. YOU NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND APOLOGIZE BEFORE I FUCK YOU UP! The kids got real serious aye man we were just joking around it aint that serious chill the fuck out. Big dude wasnt having it and BLAM Jumps over his seat and is standing between me and my boy throwing haymakers. Dude was taking on all 3 of them. I back out and get grazed by a fist. I turn around to see if my 2 friends go out. Nah they were all up in there swinging with the buff dude. So I go back in to grab them and caught a few more punches so I started throwing back. After about a minute those cats take off running. Lights come on and buff dude sits back down waiting for the movie to start. We took off because we knew the cops were coming. Ended up seeing Starship Troopers instead. I think we made a good choice.

The only "out of the ordinary" thing I've witnessed that's worth telling was when I saw Passion of the Christ. After the movie, the crowd was kinda sitting in silence, marinating on what they just saw, and this old guy down front starts singing Amazing Grace. At first it was awkward and a few people started looking around at each other, then the WHOLE THEATER joined in and sang the whole song in unison.

After a verse or two, I was like "alright, I guess we're doing this" and jumped in.

It was pretty interesting and actually kinda moving.

Posted by McDeezNuts, Wed Jun-11-14 01:31 PM
My wife and I went to a weekday matinee of the first Pirates movie. This was in Lexington, KY.

It was a pretty empty theater as this was near the end of its run - there were maybe 10-15 people total. About 10 minutes into the movie, we hear snoring a few rows behind us. No big deal, we just move to another section so we can't hear him anymore.

Then halfway through the movie, we hear a different sound... at first I thought someone was slowly pouring out a soda on the floor, but nope - the sound of a dude pissing is pretty unmistakable.

This guy was standing up in the middle of a row just pissing on the floor. We were so glad we had moved, otherwise the stream of piss would have been heading right for our feet.

The dude sat back down and fell back asleep. We saw someone else get up and leave, presumably to get a manager. The guy wasn't there when the movie ended, but we don't know if was escorted out (quietly) or woke up and left on his own.

On our way out, there was an employee giving out ticket vouchers for everyone in our theater as an apology (even though it wasn't the theater's fault). And we saw a cop car outside the theater, but didn't see the dude anywhere.

I went to the bathroom and on the way back, noticed that the folk behind the concession stand was dumping the leftover popcorn into a huge trash bag. I walked over and took it, and brought it back into the theatre. We started sharing it with these other dudes behind us. My man got up, went to the car and came back with the two six pack of St. Ides he had bought earlier, and one of the dudes we were sharing with ran to the store and bought a 12 pack or something.

When the movie went off, we all booed and threw our beer cans at the screen...thats about it

Posted by pretentious username, Thu Jun-12-14 03:30 PM
was that it was all empty internet hype. people saw the title and said "that's a funny idea". then they heard about the infamous line and said "that's hilarious, i need to see this". then it came out and they said "i'm not paying to see that, i already read the title was and heard that line. i've basically already seen the movie." so i'm not sure social media would've helped that cause. it can create hype real quickly, but that hype can die out just as quickly too if it's not an already established brand.
680830, Oh, def agreed with all that...
Posted by wallysmith, Mon Jun-16-14 04:07 PM
just saying that social media in 2006 isn't social media in 2014. There was no twitter, no reddit, no instagram, facebook wasn't the juggernaut it is now and smartphones weren't a thing yet.

So the "internet hype" was limited solely to highly specialized forums (like okp) and the people getting hyped were solely forum posters.

Whereas today, "internet hype" is A Thing, and legit gets peoples' attention (Justin Bieber, Gangnam Style, memes, AMA's, etc.)

By the time we got down the hall we turned around and a kid and the security guard were wrestling on the ground.

We straight left the theater and came back the next day and got a refund.

This was at The Mission Valley theaters, which is the "nice, but not high end" mall. has the mace's, Bed Bath Beyond, a target, etc.

The kids looked like typical high school kids - it wasn't a fight to the death, more of a tussle.

As for weed:
You can't smoke it, the ushers will come in and hawk - but about once a year I'll be in a theatre where some idiot does it. Smoke in the car, or have the decency to do pills!

The last time it happen was for Anchorman 2. It was about 12 minutes into the showing.

You know how weed has a name sometimes, that name describes where the weed came from?Like weed from Hawaii is called "Maui Wowie" or weed smuggled in from Mexico inside of truck tires is called "Mexican Skunk weed?"

Well in Anchroman 2 the dude must of had weed called "Walrus's cunt" because the entire theatre smelled like a walrus's cunt. I just left it was so bad.

I think it was Dreamcatcher. Anyway, the power went out. As we were getting our refund/voucher, we noticed a bunch of people were pissed. Found out those people were entering the last 30 minutes of Titanic when they lost power and didn't give a damn about a voucher.

At a different theater, almost saw a fight between two butch girls and a drunk guy. Whole thing was broken up by a guy who hadn't had a night on the town in a while. Said his night out would not be interrupted by 'this bullshit' and told everybody to shut the fuck up. Cops came and escorted drunk guy out. Some lady tried to say the guy that broke it up was involved, but 99.5% of the theater didn't back up her claim

In a packed theater, opening night for some exorcism movie. No empty seats, dude was RIGHT NEXT TO ME.

His girl laid her head on his lap before the lights went down, didn't think anything of it. Caught something out of the corner of my eye, looked over, her face was now downward.

Then the up and down motion began.

I nudged my homeboy, when he both looked over, dude was looking at us with the "hell yeah" grin.

We shrugged and went back to watching the movie.

Posted by Dae021, Thu Jun-12-14 09:16 AM
So i'm coming out of Alien Resurrection the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 1997.

As I come out i see a bunch of kats that I used to roll with. i'm home from school for the first time so i'm gassed to see folk. I notice however that kats have on their old Timbs, not the new fresh jounts that I know they all have (stow that away)

So we're all giving daps and talking, and I see one dude with a video camera but I don't think anything of it because we used to video tape everything back then. We're sitting out there talking and the parking lot is emptying, this is normal so nothing out of the ordinary.

So one dude in particular basically gets my attention to the left and BANG I get stole on from the right. I'm holding my jaw and backing up these are my guys, but niggas just try to jump me. They swinging, the video camera is on, i'm still confused and i'm dodging and ducking swinging back, moving. We're on the 3rd tier of a parking lot so i'm basically just backing down the parking lot so i know I have an escape route.

After about 45 seconds of all this, I swing one last time, dodge and duck and RUN like hell.

Run like 3 or 4 blocks away, call the police to get me back to my car.

I get to the car, and the kat I rolled with comes jogging out of nowhere (they were holding him back telling him its not his fight)

So we get to the car I drop my man off as his house and as i'm coming UP the street I see two cars block the road. All the kats jump outta the car and try to drag me outta the car. I hit one kat with the door and FLOOR the 87 Corolla up onto someone's yard and out. I drive straight to my bestfriend's house. He immediately grabs the bat and now i'm ready to rock, the 5 of them was trynna jump me, but when its just me and my man J the cars turn around and everyone lost interest.

Come to find out kats thought I fucked one of their girlfriend's when I was in Boston. Which I didn't! The crew basically disintegrated after that. Some dudes went to the Air Force, other kats went to the marine's others to the college, but we were never the same again.
680582, Yo man I'm sorry to hear this.

That's a really fucked up situation b.

I don't even know what to say.
680583, That shit was a lifetime ago
Posted by Dae021, Thu Jun-12-14 09:40 AM
I cried that night, and my head was a swivel since that day, but it also taught me an incredible lesson that I don't think I would've enjoyed college as much without. It was the clean break from home that I needed.

Plus we're all semi-cool with eachother now.

We don't kick it on the regular or anything but every once in a while we'll show up at the same spot and its all love. We just not tight men no more.
680587, Dang, man. That's tough. Thanks for sharing, though.

worst thing happened between two employees. dude slashed another dudes face on some gang type stuff. not sure if the slashee was gang affiliated, but the dude doing the slashing was (Latin Kings i believe). probably over an insult of some kind who knows. police, ambulance, getting questioned, the whole nine. happened so fast too. apparently dude had a razor under his tongue. i didn't know people really did that until then.

this like 2004 or 05-ish in Edgewater, NJ (not a rough neighborhood at all, but it's obviously not far from them though).

But basically, they went to a packed viewing of one of the Twilight flicks. It starts in media res or something and a girl in the crowd told the projectionist to rewind it because she read the books and knew exactly what was supposed to happen in the film.

I want to say it was Walihorse or some shit that posted it.

680636, Thor - King of Snores
Posted by Rolo_Tomasi, Thu Jun-12-14 07:36 PM
I went to see Thor on the first day of its release. It was a matinee and there must be about 15 people in the whole cinema. The people there are kind of geeked and fans of the whole Marvel cinematic universe which has been going on.

It was pretty early on in the film and there had just been a major action scene and the movie segues into a scene with just dialogue and at the start of the scene the loudest snore i've ever heard starts "NNNNNNNNNKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH".

Everyone starts laughing, the timing was just so perfect. As if someone could fall asleep just at the climax of an action scene and then snore as they begin dialogue.

Then about five seconds later: "NNNNNNNNNKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" again and maybe a couple of people laugh.

another five seconds later: "NNNNNNNNNKKKKKKRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH".

at this point everyone in the cinema is like "shut the fuck up" and getting angry with whoever is making the noise. It was seriously loud. The noise is coming from a BIG dude all the way at the back.

After a couple more snores its clear this dude isn't trying to make people laugh, he is legitimately asleep. So this other guy gets out of the row he is in and walks to the back of the cinema and shakes this guy. But he can't wake the snoring dude. The snores continue and the other person has to really start shaking him, like actually start pushing the dude to wake up. The snoring stops and the snoring dude wakes up and is told whats been happening. The film continued without incident afterwards.

The weird thing I thought was if you're such a big fan that you are seeing the film as soon as you can on the day of release why go see it if you're really tired? Thor is not really the type of film you fall asleep in, is it?

when i saw the libertine (johnny depp movie), it was just me, my date, and two strangers in a small theater. some man falls asleep and starts snoring loud as fuck. some woman ahead of us is not having it and tells him to wake up, but he keeps falling asleep and snoring loudly. finally, she was like, "I DIDN'T PAY TO HEAR YOU SNORE!" and got an usher. i think there are people who just go to movies to nap. they may or may not have paid to get in; they might just theater hop. i would imagine the matinees and flops are the better theaters to fall asleep in.

I go to the cinema quite a lot and had never fallen asleep until I went to see Age of Ultron.. Since then i'vfe fallen asleep in (or drifted off briefly) in almost every movie I've watched since. As soon as the lights dim the battle to stay awake commences!

I think the cause is I'm getting less sleep throughout the week due to increased work commitments..

But yeah I alway feel that I've cheated myself by still forcing the issue and going to watch a film when I know I'm tired!

Posted by Laz aka Black Native, Fri Jun-13-14 10:55 AM
......or so she thought. So, X-Men 3 came out and at the time, "I'M THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH!!!" was all the craze. So, I told my crew that when we see this movie & if Juggernaut is in it, I'm standing up and screaming "I'M THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH!!!". So, fast forward to the scene where Kitty Pride is fighting Juggernaut he looks at her with a pause. I stand up and say "I'M THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH!!!". The mother in front of us turned around, cheeks rosy, mouth open wide & distraught. Come to find out my moment was kinda ruined because the script writer ALSO felt as though it was the perfect time to say it & we literally said it at the same time. Everyone in the theater laughs as I sit down, the kid, who looks all of 7 says, "That's what Johnny says!" We snicker and watch the rest of that stupid movie
680679, I can't stop laughing yo.

Posted by icecold21, Sun Jun-15-14 11:54 PM
I may have forgotten as much crazy shit as I remember.

Speaking of shit...

I saw this old lady shit herself in the lobby, and then step in the shit. Her shoe print was in the shit. It smelled SOOOO BAD. That's how I noticed it actually. I dipped out of there QUICK. I also have seen a load of shit dropped in the sink of the mens bathroom, and just a big piece of shit laying on the bathroom floor. I also saw some diarrhea-sprayed type shit or something all over a womens bathroom floor.

I cleaned none of that by the way. I would have quit before I cleaned shit.

Fights...I've seen a few of those. I saw a kid taken out on a stretcher because some apparently he was jumped outback and hit in the face with a wrench. I've never seen a person covered in so much blood. I saw 2 big women fight.I saw 2 chicks fight and a top come off. A manager got hit in the head with a beer bottle. A 13 year old girl beat the shit out of a 40 yr old man. She was talking on her cell phone and he told her to shut up. She ignored him or whatever and he dumped a bucket of popcorn on her head. She went over, sat on his lap and punched him in his face about a dozen times while his wife just watched. His eye was pretty swole. Lol. There were others but I can't think of them right now.

Caught people fucking a few times. Parents bringing kids into some serious R rated movies.

Shit. So much stuff.

Crazy regulars. A dude we called Shorty McShort Shorts. Creepy looking dude that wore EXTREMELY short shorts, all year round, winter temps and snowstorms be damned. There was an old bitch we called Frog Lady...

Damn I haven't even got to the employees. Never seen a crazier and eclectic group of people in the workplace.

I could be all day with this. I might think of some more stuff later.
680794, LOL. My friend worked in a hood movie theater. His stories were awesome.
Posted by BennyTenStack, Mon Jun-16-14 09:40 AM
He had a homosexual, coke addicted manager who said some WILD stuff to him.

One day my friend came home after work cracking up and was like, "You are not gonna believe this."

His manager had approached him and said, "Alright, I've got this plan that's gonna make us rich. You're gonna accidentally leave your vest here (at the theater) tonight. When you come back tomorrow, there's gonna be some semen on it. My semen. You're gonna sue the theater chain for a bunch of money for sexual harassment, I'll move to Mexico, then you just wire me half of the money you get."

And he was dead serious. He literally thought they could get rich off of him jacking off onto my friend's work vest lol.

The manager also somehow found out how much money the theater was insured for in case of a theft, and tried to organize a heist with my friend to steal a bunch of money from the theater. I actually got drug into that one. The plan was for me to come "rob" my friend while he was taking the money from the safe to the bank to be deposited. After I "robbed" him, they were going to call the cops and give a false police report. They swore it was fool proof lol.

Just like the the vest-jack-off plan, it was insanely stupid and I talked them out of it.

My friend always had funny stories from working there, but his manager almost talked him into some stuff that would have ruined him.


EDIT: There was also a real life fight club that took place behind another theater where some friends worked. They would meet after the last showings in the parking lot behind the theater on weekends. Don't know if they still do it or not.

At that same theater, my friend and a few employees were robbed, pistol whipped, and forced to take their clothes off.

680847, Texas Chainsaw Massacre re-release
Posted by tully_blanchard, Tue Jun-17-14 09:45 AM
They were playing it at our hood theatre (a/k/a the dollar movie)

There was this cat that I thought was the coolest of the cool...name was TuWan Summers..even his name was cool. He was best friends with my cool as hell cousin, so they were like Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier to me.

Anyhoo...I'm bugging, cause, I must be on my way up the ladder, cause I'm in the same theatre with TuWan (i was like...1-12 years old at the time). I cant remember which scene it was, but Leatherface cranked up the chainsaw and all you heard was "AAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Looked around and TuWan was running up the ailse, and out of the theatre...pointy toed shoes and super pleated baggies and all.

Never looked at him the same way again...

You've made no secret of your affiliation with the film industry but from the breadth of movies you've scene and had special access to, I can't imagine all of this is going down in one hood cinema.


These stories are incredible. All I've seen is basically...movies. This ghetto dad brought his toddler aged kids into Crouching Tiger at Union Station, DC, when it still had movie theaters and wouldn't let them sleep, eventually they all fell asleep, mercifully.

Son, my roommate and I saw the pregnant basehead who used to live across the street from us box the baby daddy, who was the local drug dealer, on the front lawn of their crib with a needle sticking out her arm. She was so hopped up on whatever it was that she won. Hit that nigga with two uppercuts to the dome and that was that.

Dude was so hated and despised by everyone that after he got decked out, the neighborhood swarmed upon his ass and took everything he had on him. Shoes and the expensive Balmain jeans too.
