I'll do a Vlog later.
The AVClub has an article on Worst Moviegoing Experiences. It's cringe inducingly hilarious! (The comments section is great too.)
In that vein, my worst moving going experiences.
One was when I was a Freshmen in college. I went on a double date with my best friend to see House on Haunted Hill, the crap Geoffrey Rush remake. Despite being the least scary horror film ever, my friend's date keeps screaming, burying his face in her shoulder, and crying (not even in a fun, sexy way, mind you.) Sensitive to her, we keep saying we can leave, but she wants to stick the movie out. Seconds later, the lamest screen monster ever pops up, and she's bawling and crying and screaming again; for the entire run time. No fun was had during or after that movie.
But that was just one person. The worst overall theater experience occurred at the IMAX version of 300 in South Texas. I consciously made the choice to go on a Tuesday night after 9pm, but the place is packed with obnoxious teenagers and frat boys. Every ten seconds in the most homoerotic action film in recent memory, this kid next to me would shout "BOO YAH! YEAH! F*** THAT GUY UP!" And so forth.
But the all time worst ever happened during a showing of Boogie Nights. I guess a bunch of rednecks thought they would be watching a hardcore XXX film, and they were sorely pissed at the more thoughtful look at the porn industry. Drunk and yelling stupid comments was bad enough, but whenever Philip Seymour Hoffman's closeted character appeared, they would start shouting, "Fucking faggot!" Ugh.
To balance that out, a funny experience. I went to a showing of the original version of "The Day the Earth Stood Still." There's a scene where the human looking alien is being examined by doctors.

Doc 1: He says his people live to be over 300 years old!
Doc 2: Did he say how?
Doc 1: No, he just said they have good doctors. Cigarette?
The whole theater just completely dies laughing. It was great. 
What was yours?
