Anyway, its not really the manager’s fault. Would he want to risk losing his job for not listening to higher management?

One thing though, I’m pretty sure James Cameron wouldn’t give a hoot about his credits being interrupted. He’s already got him *Kaching!*

Such is a capitalistic world that we live in.

One last observation though, have you guys noticed that Shaw is the only cinema here that has these uncles still working with them?
That’s the biggest point I would applaud them for, retaining their old staff even though there’s always young fresh and energetic “talents” (local or otherwise) to take their place.

There’s always this struggle in us to either fight for what’s right or fight for survival. Maybe he can’t afford to lose the job because he has a family to feed. I think it’s quite common for people to get frustrated when their beliefs conflict with management, and it’s either quit and starve or grin and bear it.

chak: Did you guys watch it on the first few days? Maybe they discovered that people kept stealing the glasses so they started implementing more and more reminders and checks. lol.

JayWalk: Would you recommend Iluma over GV and Cathay?

Hillary: LOL, yeah. I wiped it a few times with my blouse before settling down to watch the movie. :P

Soxace: Too bad we don’t really know who to blame. Maybe it’s really the manager who just anyhow say to get us off his back. Maybe it’s really the management who can’t be bothered about customer complaints. :P

ionStorm: Hopefully soon!

hp: Nah… can’t be bothered to. :P

hootie: Well, I really hope Avatar succeeds because I want to watch sequels! To be honest, I was not a James Cameron fan until I watched Avatar. I didn’t even really want to watch it. Was sort of dragged there by a friend, who only bought tickets at Lido because everywhere else was sold out.

But now I’m so hooked I want to watch it again, so thanks for your recommendation of Singapore Discovery Centre. We didn’t even know there’s a cinema there! So we’re going to watch Avatar again there next week! :)

Well, let’s hope it’s an operational glitch like you said. I would have been forgiving if it had really been a glitch. But what got us REALLY annoyed was that the manager said it wasn’t a glitch and that there have been complaints but the management still decided to go ahead and spoil the movie for future customers.

princessgx: Heheh, yeah, the Goonfather really hates the carpark at Lido. We always have to alight before he parks because there’s never any space to open all the doors, lol.

SiLvEr_RaIn: Thanks for your input! I don’t watch movies at Shaw Theatres usually so haven’t had other frustrating experiences. But now I’ll be sure to keep away from them if I can help it!

gim goh: We did ask to see someone more superior to him who can give us a more satisfactory answer, but it was 2 am at that time and he was the only person in charge left. He said the management all balik kampung long ago alraedy. :P

And we decided that there was no point in scolding him since he couldn’t accept the responsibility and he wasn’t the one who wrote the rules.

This happened at Lido. And i don’t know who the manager is. We didn’t ask his name. :P

i think it’s not the muting of sounds at the credit and repeating of reminders that spoils the whole fun.

IT’S how surprising, the manager works his way just like a SAF en chek. Following orders, blah blah blah. . . The most surprising thing is how this guy work his way to tell others to make more reports and even told his patrons alot of complains he has received and how lowly helpless and useless he can be as a high ranking manager. . .

i’m sad to say it’s the person that u are facing, and may not be the company. . . this reflects a person working without passion, it of cos reflects a singaporean living and working in singapore as well. . .

If i was u, as a actor/ performer. . . as fuming hot and nuclear. I’ll stand there without moving a inch after what he said. . .

The BEST thing is not making a nuisance but i’ll demand to see someone more superior than him. . . as even given a MANAGER STATUS that he works lowly just like a ticket person. This might greatly reflects the standard and system that his company is having!!! sure, i’ll doubt the company for god’s sake.

And if someone more superior came, i’ll tell him off that . . . this is what is happening in singapore’s entertainment market. AND our market is shrinking because of ppl like u~ not respecting films using so much greatly effort and investments are made. . . and it can be so serious that they just turned the “550 million” invested movie into a. . . . . just a movie thing. . . not respecting the industry. . .

THIS PEOPLE are not FIT to be in the entertainment industry!!! And i’ll make sure this ” manager ” is fired on the very spot, before i make a move. . . (which is all i can imagine)

Miss Sheylara, can u pls tell me which Movie theatre is this again? and this manager guy is?

i’ll wish to visit him with a cup of tea. . . and a gut of justice. . . and a heart of an actor. . . and of cos a view from the audiences . . .

they don’t even bother to do anything about their cramped carparks and old lifts. it’s like the far east organization kind of old-fashioned management.

they are just lucky to have an excellent location. all these complaints won’t affect their business so they can’t be bothered. only thing we can do is boycott them and hopefully one day it will make a difference.
