Cinema Annoyances

So I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean last night and, although I enjoyed the film, it was one of my worst trips to the cinema in ages...

Firstly the cinema was absolutely rammed which surprised me as the film had been out for a while. This meant we were forced to sit on the FRONT ROW!!

I always aim to sit in the middle seats of the middle rw, the last time I sat on the front row was when I went to see Beauty and the Beast!!

Watching the film was awful as I not only had to strain my neck backwards but was constantly having to turn it to see what was going on across the screen.

I don't understand why they put seats that close to the screen (well I do, pack em in, get the money) or why anyone would choose to sit that close!?

In addition to this I was annoyed by people laughing at some of the gags. Granted it was a fairly funny film, but hardly laugh out loud in so many places. I couldn't work out if it was just that I didn't find it as funny as some others did OR if they felt obliged to laugh as loud as possible!?

Which leads me to my annoyance of people laughing hysterically at gags they have seen at least 5 times in the trailer for the film, how is it STILL that funny?

So guys what annoys you at the cinema?
