Are you planning to watch a movie this weekend? Well, that’s a great idea. Cinema experiences are a whole other thing and it’s rarely completely about the movie itself but rather all the types of people watching it with you, as only some people in the theatre are super annoying.
If you want to have a memorable cinema experience, here are 5 TYPES OF PEOPLE YOU ARE SURE TO MEET AT THE MOVIES.
- THE GURUS
These are the die-hard fans that are not to be messed with under any circumstance.
They watched the trailer the moment it was released and over-analyzed every second of it. From the second they walk into that theatre, they are in the zone.
They will watch the entire movie religiously: advertisements, post-credits and end credits included. Nothing deters them, not the whispering in the aisle behind or the baby crying in the aisle in front.
- THE ‘IT’S ALL FOR THE GRAM’ GROUP
This group exists to do one thing and one thing alone, spoil the movie for everyone who hasn’t watched it yet. You can expect every death, plot twist and reunion to appear on their Instagram.
Add a couple of mirror selfies, and popcorn snaps followed by a few boomerangs and it’s a virtual cinema experience for anyone viewing their stories.
For those of you kind souls who just upload a random snap of the end credits on your socials and call it a day: Thank you, we appreciate you.
- THE CALL CENTRE
This person is yet to discover the magical silent option on his or her phone. This person will receive a phone call every five minutes and yes, this person will answer every single one of them.
Get ready to listen to a super loud, extra-animated and never-ending saga of conversations. Every single time you think it’s over, trust me, it’s not. Just pace yourself for the next call.
You might miss most of the movie but you will most definitely leave with a detailed understanding of some random stranger’s midlife crisis.
- THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
Every laugh, every boo and every round of applause starts here, initiated by this bunch of hyper extroverts who absolutely cannot and will not handle sitting quietly for over two hours.
Typically, the life of the theatre, makes the whole cinema experience all the more fun. Their energy is wildly contagious and before you know it, the entire crowd is vibing along with them.
- THE CRINGEY COUPLE
It’s truly not a complete cinema experience if you do not run into at least one couple. Yeah, you know what I am talking about.
Do yourself a favour and just steer clear of the corner seats. This way, they get to enjoy their date; you get to enjoy the movie you paid good money for and everybody wins.
