The Repeater: This person feels the need, for some reason, to either describe what just happened on the screen or repeat a line, like it will make it better or more funny when they say it the second time around.

The Preparer: This is the person who has already seen a movie and has to prepare you by saying something to the effect of "oh this is the best part" or "Dude this part coming up is so scary!".

The Questioner: This is the person who will ask a question that is obviously not meant to have been answered at that point in the film. Like when you're in the theater watching a movie on it's release night and 10 minutes into the film the person you're watching it with goes "Who's that?" Or "What's going on?!" I don't know! I haven't seen this either but I have an idea that they are going to explain it at the right time.

The Talker: These people just aren't really into movies and they make it a point to let you know by talking to you while you are trying to enjoy a movie.

I'm sure there are more but these are the ones that stick out in my mind. Who do you hate watching movies with?

I love your style. :)

I'm guilty (albeit rarely) of being the preparer. I just get really excited introducing people I like to film/TV they haven't seen which I really enjoy. :o

The Ruiner: "What? That would never ever happen. That is clearly a Miranda rights violation. How ridiculous... (goes into long rant why such thing on the screen would never happen)"

OF COURSE IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IT'S A MOVIE. lol.
 
the best part of the ruiners is the fact that they'll say "that could never happen" about exaggerated situations, but bypass the things such as the fact that the movie is about a superhuman who can fly, shoot lasers from his eyes, freeze lakes by blowing on them, knock ten pins down by sneezing, etc., but the fact that they save a kid from a combine in a corn field in the nick of time is absurd.
 
oh and how about:

the prerepeater: just like the repeater, but they feel the need to quote the movie's best lines way ahead of time in a desperate need to show they've seen the movie already.
 
Sheeeit man, that's bottom of the barrel right there. Especially if it's a Napoleon Dynamite quote like "GOSH".:X

that's a fact! i had a much better one, but i can't remember what it was. the prerepeater (though it be for realz) is a stall until i remember what the other one was!

edit: how bout this one... i knew on of these, fucking dick.

the closed caption guy: refuses to turn the tv up to a substantial volume, but insists he must have closed caption on. i can't help but read words on the screen, even when they're just the opening credits... turn the fucking tv up and turn off the closed caption because i can't pay attention to the images on the screen!

O-EM-GEE I really want to kill the talker. I've dated people who won't STFU during a movie and I want to kick them in the teeth.
 
The Critic- can't shut and criticizes every single scene in the movie yet continues to watch the whole movie, kind of like ruiner - dude, go for a stroll in a park if you don't like the movie!

That's me :). I don't do it during the film though. But I like internal consistency, you know - you can have a movie with aliens or whatever, but I hate seeing characters just do random, out-of-character things in order to move the plot along, or whatever.

I hate hate hate people talking in the theatre. Fuckers.
 
Damien said pretty much everything I'd have said too :D

Actually, I LOVE watching movies alone. Love love love love it.
There are very, very few people I like watching movies with.
Anybody else here love watching TV or movies alone too? :D
 
^ Actually I do, I can concentrate on a movie better this way. It is really hard to find a compatible person to watch a movie with but if you find her it's more enjoyable.
 
Great thread!

The hater. Occasionally says "this is fucking ridiculous" or makes loud sighing noises to make it clear they're not enjoying the film. :! shuttup and rip it apart afterwards!

The explainer. Someone who claims to be a great expert on the subject matter. Seems to be worst with war films. Will constantly explain concepts which are NOT needed to get the film... during the film, so you miss parts.

Definitely the ones I hate the most have already been done though - the preparer and the ruiner do my head in the most.
 
The Casting Director. Someone who insists on interruptions by saying "where do I know him from?", "what was she in?" or "when was the last time they did something?". just shuddup & watch the fuggin movie ya muppet :X

The Retarded Cameraman. The ones who complain about the black bits at the top & bottom & want it zoomed in. It's called widescreen jackass. Live with it or miss 40% of the movie.
 
Great ones, all around, especially,

Good lord. Why. Just.. why.

I was hanging out with these 3 people not long ago, I'd just met all of them, and they all seemed pretty cool. We were just hanging out and one of them put on The Big Lebowski, a movie which I love and so did they, so that won them some points in my book.. at least until I discovered 30 seconds later after the first line was spoken in the movie.. all three of them (and I'm being quite literal here) repeated back probably one out of every 2 lines spoken and then laughed. I wanted to stab myself in the face with a fork.

Haha. I have to admit, I made my mom watch Fight Club for the first time a couple months ago and I did a little bit of this. :D
 
The Eater: you know, the one eating his or her popcorn/chips/candy so loud you can't help but get distracted and think homicidal thoughts.
 
People who have already seen the movie but happen to be watching it with you anyway.
Regardless of asking them not to say anything about the movie so as not to spoil it, they can't help but say what's about to happen, now that does annoy me.
Second to that is the talkers, who yap on about anything.
Then there's the people who can never quite follow what's going on and are constantly asking, "so what happened or I don't get it" etc, etc.
Eaters are also frustrating if loud enough.
