.. or fuckers at the theatre with sweet wrappers. It never
fails to amaze me how these cunts with their phones have the
balls to let em ring. The sad irony is that if you start
shhssing them you are yourself making noise too so ya sit
there all squirmed up imagining how your´re really gonna
fuck em up!

Whats the best way of dealing with these gits without
disturbing other people? Some sort of minitaure high-power
microwave device would be nice...

phones/sweets/popcorn/teens are the worst. i don't really
get why they have to talk, why don't they just go to a
coffeebar and talk shit all day long there. NOOOo, they have
to buy a 9 $ ticket, sit in the back row and giggle and just
be annoying throughout the whole goddamn movie. fuck 'em.

its worse at gigs

i went to see mogwai last night and, although it was
impressive to be in a room full of people and very quiet
when the music was so. it was piss annoying to have some
wanker yell shit throughout.

the only way to deal with 'em is to be standing next to
them, and breathe smoke into them, then burn their hair i
guess :s

Throw your coke at them maybe? Once I sat in front of a
stupid guy who actually had two whole coversations on his
phone during the movie.
"Hello.....I'm watching a movie.....nah it's
ok....yeah.....blablafuckingbla"
What's the matter with people like that?

Extremely loud throat-clearing at JUST the right

Know what you mean. I saw Nils Petter Molvær once, and
during the silent parts it was impossible to hear anything
at all. And a drunk bastard in front of me was shouting all
the time. if he wasn't twice as big as me, I would've kicked
his ass.

WOW!
I saw Mogwai last weekend and there was a lot of
"shhhssss"´s required...AND i saw Nils Peter the week
before that and my girlfriend nearly freaked at the loudness
of the chatter during the quieter moments.

Take a silenced pistol with you and shoot them through the
throat? ;)

It does my head in too. I wish cinemas were a bit more
fascistic. They could have adult only showings for 15 and
below rated films (it is mainly teenagers that make noise),
where you are metal detected as you go in and have to
surrender your mobile for the duration of the film.

Throwing popcorn annoys me just as much. Usually turning
around an giving the group who obviously threw it a "Do it
again and you're dead" look for a good 10 seconds usually
does the trick.

ANY noise does my head in, I've taken to wearing my
headphones when I'm watching a film with the missus in the
house.

Those Minstril bags are the worst... GAH!

it was a theatre incident last night that got me posting
(postal!). It was the fuckinmg geriatrics and their toffees.
Why they selll em in the theatre in the first palce is
beyond me! Plus they laughed at points in the play that were
extremely sombre..... fucking hell... worse than teens!

Take a silencer And have metal detectors, ceri?

i suggest passing them a note saying 'sir, please cease your
interruptions for the sake of fellow cinema patrons'.. and
if that doesnt work you should try wagging your finger at
them...and if they are Really bad, i sugest making a t-shirt
that says 'i strongly dislike (persons name)' and wear it
whenever i go to the cinema....

I never understand why cinemas don't have those mobile phone
jammers in each screen. Even new ones don't seem to :(

Other people are the main reason if I really want to see a
film and it's not a special fx fest I tend to wait for the
DVD release and watch it alone at home on DVD.

I went to see Mondo Generator perform an acoustic set at a
local record store and there was this group of people in the
back who kept talking really loudly and it became painfully
obvious during this one break during a song where the girl's
irritating voice pierced the silence and everyone else in
the crowd turned around to glare at her.

"Action is being taken right now to your complete and utter
fucking demise, cunt!"

Go to the movies on a weekday, the earliest showing and only
see films that have been out for at least 2 or 3 weeks. Then
there won't be many people there to annoy you, and if they
do there will be so many empty seats it's easy to just move
to another spot.

Unless it's a movie like the Matrix where you simply can't
wait then you just have to accept the fact that people are
assholes and deal with it.

or try and integrate the noise into the whle cinema
experience? i´ve done this with scratched records and CD´s
quite sucessfully. Be Taoist about it really..........
ARRRRRGHHHHH

i want to write a play that hinges on the slightest fucking
(avoidable) noise an audience member makes.

take a pen and pad, and when they are talking, walk up to
them and pretend to write down everything they say.

when they ask, say "Geez, you were talking so loud, I just
assumed it was a matter of great importance and it might do
me well to have it writ down."

you can, then go sit behind the person and piss right down
his back. Quite and clean... well... er...quite atleast.

It can be very frustrating.....I understand where you're
coming from. Similar thing....my neighbours came around
this evening, and were talking whilst I was trying to watch
a film on DVD.....I was like "just fucking go home!"

not only am i used to it, i've grown to enjoy it to a
degree. i live in a washington, dc suburb called prince
george's county. whites make up less than 30% so it's mostly
blacks and hispanics. blacks here are the noisest of the
minorities and they tend to make up about 80%+ of the
audience when i see a movie. cell phones, pagers, screaming
babies, extremely loud teenagers in courtship. i've grown a
huge tolerance toward all the noise... except the babies
crying or screaming during movies while their single teenage
mom yells at them to stop instead of just taking them
OUTSIDE... that can ruin a good scene. sometimes it's 30
minutes before these unwed moms (black, white, hispanic)
have the good sense to leave the theater instead of making
everyone else suffer.

but as i said, i've grown pretty damn tolerant; in fact, it
even amuses me now. white people toss around the mocking
term "ghetto" too often nowadays, but for me, it's actually
appropriate. i go to some ghetto-ass theaters, and i will
continue to do so because they're $3 cheaper than the white
snob theaters in northwest DC. plus some of the "peanut
gallery" comments during the previews are hilarious. when
the trailer for Jason X came on some black guy in his 30s
said "THAT DON'T MAKE ANY DAMN SENSE!" (since jason was
killed so many times and here he is on some space ship in
the future?). a friend and i sometimes play up the whole
"uncivilized audience" thing and start making funny comments
during bad movies (we always see will smith and chris rock
movies together and they always suck). ironically it's us
two white boys that are making noise during the actual film;
it's "the minorities" (*eyeroll*) who actually manage to
settle down before the movie starts.... except for the
crying babies.

oh yea, and a sizable amount of black people at these
theaters always leave like 5 minutes before the credits even
begin rolling. it's so weird to see.
