10 Ways You're Ruining Movies For Everyone

4. Live Updates From The Cinema

This one€™s something of a meta-crime for cinemagoers, as it doesn€™t necessarily damage the experience of anyone else in the movie you€™re sat in (unless you€™re sat on the front row with your mobile on full brightness and text clicks on, you fiend). Offenders operate on something of a paradoxical level: instead of watching and paying attention to the story they paid an arm and a leg to see, they€™ll blurt out plot details and witticisms about a movie€™s events on whatever social media platform they can get their grubby mitts on, much to the chagrin of their friends and followers who haven€™t seen the film yet and don€™t want some inattentive sod ruining it for them. Not to mention those friends who know what their mate€™s doing is a douche move of the lowest variety.
