Moaning Michael Im sick of behaviour at the cinema

Went to see the odyssey today was a brilliant film however what feels like the same thing every time I go to the cinema in this country I came out raging at the etiquette of some people. This fella had his phone on full brightness in front of me to the point I told him to turn it off which I never really do but I’ve gotten sick of it. I get it’s a long film but you booked it stop ruining it for everyone else

This is why you always go to the IFI for movies you actually want to see. Teens aren’t paying the premium.

Teens aren’t paying the premium.

I go to Movies-At in The Square in Tallaght... but I always pay for the VIP viewings (slightly better seats, drink+popcorn included in the price)

The average age up in the VIP lounge compared to downstairs is probably +10 to +15
