Nah pal. Do you fancy coming to Withnail & I to yell at the screen? Yeah I WOULD LIKE A BOTTLE OF WINE PLEASE, all the classics. WHERE'S THAT WINE

Fucking absolutely not. No sing-a-longs either.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...dick heads in a cinema quoting lines in my fucking scenes...mindless infantiles squeeing with glee at their powers of recitation...all these cunts will be lost in time, like the worthless specks of dust that they are...time for...err...can someone hand me a script

I think The Room screenings are probably the king of this.

I saw a Withnail & I quote-a-long a few years ago and it was painful. There was just one drunk man saying the best known lines incorrectly about 3 seconds before the actual line and then correcting himself. For about 45 minutes until his friends told him to pack it in.

The sing-a-long Wicker Man was quite good though. The fellow presenting it was dressed like Lord Summerisle.

Why did he pick The Dark Knight Rises when he could have waited for an interactive midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

I've never been to one but don't have an issue with sing-a-longs, they sound pretty fun, but quote-a-longs would be my own personal hell. Well, bar the personal hell where nipples squirt out shit in to my mouth for days at a time.

don't get this - sing-a-longs are dissonant quote-a-longs.

Eh.  Not really the same thing.  People put on a CD at home by themselves and sing-a-long to it.  Not many people put on a movie at home and start talking-a-long to it.

Well quite, it's fun to sing, but whoever enjoyed talking, especially during a film?

I do. I pretend the movie are my friends :(

shh

Or 'autism-friendly' screenings as they're sometimes called.

I agree, they are a very bad idea. It's also bad when half the audience don't get involved and become annoyed at people's behaviour. My screening of Schindler's List was totally ruined by the audience's refusal to quote-a-long.

No! I am right and you're ridiculously wrong, so wrong in fact that I might have to come to whatever fancy country you're currently living in and give you a better haircut and a nice massage. That'll teach you.

I want to go and do this, but at a screening that is non quote along, and quote from a completely different film.  I don't know at the next Planet of the Apes film, get in loads of quotes and songs from Oliver!

The fucking Price Charles are the worst for this. I wish they'd do a Combat Shock suicide-a-thon.

Don't they just?  The talkative twats.  You'd at least hope that they'd have something of worth to say but no, every single time it's pure attention seeking, unadulterated drivel, straight from the mouths of morons.  Also, STOP KICKING THE BACK OF MY SEAT, YOU CUNTS!

Watch it you or I'm trim your beard so it looks more aesthetically pleasing and also give your legs a good scrub.

It was a slightly tongue in cheek comment. And my step-brother was the worst for this, the last time I saw him we went to the cinema and he kept on quoting lines he found amusing and nudging me and going on about how funny something or other was. Understandably I have not spoken to him since.

Oh, dear God!  This is horrendous!  Won't somebody help me, please?!  Oh, Jesus!  He's putting money into my account now!  Fuck no!  He's complimenting me!  He's telling me that I'm a nice person!  Help!  Fuck!  Please!
