#Bloganuary – What do you complain about the most? – Cinema Edition

Bloganuary writing prompt
What do you complain about the most?

This question popped up as a prompt so I thought I would make it cinema related and put in my biggest complaints about going to the cinema!

Empty Screen – Some booking the sit next to/behind/infront of you!
Seriously what makes someone decide that in a big and empty screen with maybe 10 people already booked in, to then book the seat right next to you? It’s just super strange behaviour and one of the things that has made me now book my ticket about five minutes before the film starts. As let’s face it the number of seats in so many cinema screens now is so huge that having them fully booked out doesn’t happen all that often. Not at my local Cineworld anyway. The same for when only a few people are booked in, yet all 6 in 2s across three different rows is another werid booking thing that blows my mind. I mean you have chosen your own seats for years now.

Phones
This has been an issue for so many years now, since the introduction of smartphones and the obsessive nature that we all use them. Don’t get me wrong during the ever increasing number of adverts and the fact that 95% of the time I go to the cinema alone I do use my phone up until that point. But constantly using them throughout the film is frustrating as they always completely light up and cause a distraction! Due to this it has also added to my booking five minutes before start time, to sit closer to the screen to avoid that happening as let’s face it I would never actually say anything to anyone.

Adverts after the trailers!
Not sure if this is just a Cineworld thing, as I can’t remember if there was more adverts on my last Odeon trip. We have all been so used to adverts, then the good part of the trailers as come on we want to see what is coming soon. Then settle into the film, but no not know we then get two or three more adverts after the trailers, even though this has been going on for a while now it is still super annoying.

Big gap from US to UK release
Now this is something that isn’t as bad as it used to be for the “bigger” more blockbuster type films which get worldwide release at the same time, but when you get into some of the smaller and more independent films we still have quite a gap when it comes to the awards season films as well (which is personally one of my favourite times of year, and an attempt to watch all of the Oscar Best Picture nominees before the ceremony).

What are your biggest complaints about the cinema?

Cineworld Secret Screening 11 – Possible Films!

The first secret screening of 2024 taking place at Cineworld which is the 11th Secret Screening (that is open to everyone, don’t forget these started off being Unlimited Secret Screenings that you had to be a member for).

Date: Monday 22nd January 2024
Time: 19:30

Just a reminder that the rating and running time listed on the website does not link directly to the film, just because it has a 15 rating does not mean that it has to be a 15, we have had U/PG films as secret screenings in the past.

Here are some potential films that could be for the secret screening …

6 Worst Films of 2023!

I didn’t actually put together a worst films list of 2022 but decided to bring it back for 2023, mainly as a warning to not watch the films that have made this list. You may think that 6 is a strange number and I would usually do a top 10 list of this, however I only rated six films as one star so that is this list!

In all honesty I am not really bothered that people complain about worst film lists, as it’s actually a good way to see who just doesn’t like the same films as you and quite frankly can make you happy that you actually made some good decisions not to watch them (that is how I have felt seeing other people’s worst film lists, pleased I missed certain films).
