Has anyone else been a victim of a woman’s horrendous laughing during films at Cinema? She laughs really loud and inappropriately during the films while rocking back and forth as of it is so hilarious, she can’t help herself. A few times, she was so loud I missed the next line of dialogue. I am not saying that I don't encourage laughing during funny parts of the film or even in parts that she thinks are funny, which I don’t think are funny. Go ahead, laugh yourself silly. But this was just so extreme!
My co-workers had the same experience last week. One of them actually flipped out, stood up and yelled at the woman to be quiet. She still didn’t stop. Then another man in the balcony told her to f***ing shut up and she finally got the hint and stopped.
Anyone else have similar experiences? Does anyone out there know the woman of whom I speak? Are you the woman of whom I speak?

Not guilty, but I have requested two German girls behind me in a German cinema to hold their cell phone conversation either less loudly or outside as I couldn't hear the film any more.
In the four years I worked as an usher no one ever requested me to tell someone to tone down a bit. Surprising, in retrospect.

during a Harry Potter film a guy next to me, downed a bottle of Mariacrone and as he got more drunk bellowed around "watch your back Harry" and stuff. like that. I could have killed him. I told him though if he doesn't shut up than I'm going to wait until the bottle is empty (which almost was) and shove it ...
He calmed down a bit afterwards

Sounds like the lady that ruined the Pirates film for me. Constant over-the-top whooping, seriously loud and prolonged hysteria at any "funny" incident in the film and at times actually squealed with hysterical laughter. Even people in the bottom tier 20-odd rows away were looking over their shoulders to see where the noise was coming from. She even gave out extremely loud whoops when a tense moment in the film was broken.
It sounds like the same person you have encountered, she was loud enough for people to be leaving the cinema and be talking about her.
I wonder what she is like at a funeral. Hate to think.

That is one of the only cinemas I've been to where people really think it's OK to have full-blown conversations during a film. The balcony is particularly bad for this. Seriously, the people up there think their €1 extra gives them special privileges or something.

You are not wrong. I go to the one in the shopping centre now. It is a lot better.
The woman in the other one was disturbing the whole cinema. She has quite a deep voice for a woman and sounds like Pavarotti being tickled at the slightest joke.
You would need to wear a serious set of ear plugs if you had sex with her (and warn the neighbours, the local police plus set up a no-fly zone)

It happened to me as well, at Cinema. The woman was next to me and she kept laughing loud and making remarks. She was always "in sync" with the movie, thus i didn't say anything.
Her accent was definitely german.

I once saw this movie about WWI (a biography) and during the scenes where people were being murdered and killed (Germans, Jews etc) she would laugh out really loud. Then there was this scene where people died of a bomb and she laughed like she was screaming. I leaned over and said, excuse me can you tell me WTF is so funny about seeing people die?!?!? You are pissing everyone off in the theater who are in tears watching the movie. Can you STFU? She stopped after that.
I thought this was about me until the deep voice part and the German accent.

Oh and the part where people told her to shut up.
Report them to the usher if it's really bad. Otherwise you can always watch movies on DVD in your own home.
