Cinema etiquette

Popcorn - tasty, but noisy

When you go to the cinema, does the sound of people eating popcorn and drinking
noisily really annoy you?
Movie-goers have plenty of bad habits, but what is the proper way to behave - or the
etiquette -when you visit the cinema?
Rob and Neil hear about two film critics who got so annoyed with bad cinema behaviour
that they drew up a list of rules of what people should and shouldn't do at the cinema,
and they talk about one very badly-behaved member of the audience.

2. What kind of bad experience do have when you go to the movie? (at least 75 words)

- When I watched the cinema, the worst experience I ever had was when I bought a ticket
during the day but the movie started at five in the afternoon and I was going around the mall
with my sister and when I turned around we forgot that the clock was showing half past four
and when we went to the cinema, it turned out that there were already a lot of people in the
cinema. and we're embarrassed because I kept spilling my drink late because I was bumped
by his guard and I didn't forget to apologize. It's not funny, but it's enough to embarrass me
and my sister.
