I'm totally over that same old 'truck horn' stock sound used when big rig trucks pass by in car chase scenes etc.
Usually always the double "HONK, HOOOOoooonk". -

Isn't there a general rule (or maybe urban myth) if you walk out a movie within the first half you can demand for your money back? Smells like something iffy but never know it could be true? -

Most theatres in Germany do intermissions on movies that are longer then two or two and half hours (it depends). We get them with LOTR, the Potters, and lots of other stuff, but we had one screening of Return of the King that had no intermission, which felt kinda strange, but was very appreciated. ^^
we get intermissions in the cinema, even if it's one hour 30 film, reason is because then everybody can go for .... another bag of chips
dickweeds, it's all about making money in Belgium
same on the series and movies on TV, sometimes a movie is interrupted 4 times for commercials (even if the movie is one hour 30 minutes long
don't know if you guys have the same problems in your countrywaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh -

...people somehow always manage to get the most important thing(s) said BEFORE they are interupted by someone or something. For some reason, they are never interupted in a touching speech.

I loath that in so many Hollywood movies the second in command is always a complete bastard.

And of course they continually turn the steering wheel left and right even when driving along a perfectly straight road. And of course there is ALWAYS another gear to select no matter what speed they're going, if they're in a car chase. -

Yeah it is like, just grab anything to cover the bits. I mean when I see a bed scene and they don't cover when they get out, I'm surprised and have the reflex to hand them something so that they don't feel too naked.

I hate intermissions. The last time I had one was in the seventies during Zeferelli's Jesus of Nazareth. The film was more than 4 hours I think.
I used to go to double features in the early seventies - two films with 20 minutes between them. The good old times

That's a good one, and reminds me of another - when there's some sort of phenomenon that causes all cars to stop working at the same time, they somehow all stop at the side of the road, leaving a convenient thoroughfare for our hero to drive through. -
