People who talk during movies.

If the world trade center had been filled with people who
regularly held conversations during movies at the theatre,
it would have been a happy day in America.

I try to not let it get under my skin, but I can't help it.
A few whispered lines are not a problem (ALTHOUGH I CAN
STILL HEAR YOU FUCKFACE), but an entire conversation- even
barely audible, will ruin an entire movie for me. Standing
up and flipping them off, getting the manager, and even
changing seats is not enough for me because I am still so
flusterd I can't stop thinking about the talkers, even if I
can no longer hear them.

This is the thing that makes me angriest in the world.

Are these people sociopathic? How could you sit in a theatre
and talk while other people are there to see a movie? Have
any of you ever done this? If so I hate you to hell.

I don't know why they serve popcorn and pop at theatres.
hearing that hand shuffling about in the bag for a big
handfull of crunchy loud popcorn to chew repeatedly right
behind you. And the pop, well, it's so expensive they can't
let it go to waste, they gotta slurp that up, every last
fucking drop.

Yes, the bag shuffling and drink holstering/unholstering
(--the slushing ice sound--) can also be bothersome. But I
can zone that out like ambient noise whereas a talker always
takes center stage.

I'd probably take a whole theatre of bag shufflers rather
then one teenage hispanic couple that decide the rules of
society do not apply to them.

people who talk during movies, should be executed. shot in
the head perhaps. it's on the number two spot of things i
absolutely loathe.

I always hold off on eating during the silent parts of a
movie as well.

It feels like everybody can hear you chewing.

different movies have different crowds. don't complain about
crying children when you're going to a disney movie, or loud
obnoxious teens when you're seeing the next wesley snipes
flick part 3.

i forget what movie, but it was no disney.
some parent just brings in their baby and ruins it for
everyone.
i also agree about the talking during movie thing, but have
not much else to add.

So are you a talker or just a talker-sympathizer?

If your baby is crying- that's ok... just take it the outta
the damn theatre and we're all good.

I was with some friends a while ago and we were watching
'house of wax'
One of my friends didn't stop talking / laughing / taking
the piss ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FILM
I wasn't too bothered because he was being damn funny (which
annoyingly made me laugh too). I felt bad for everyone
around us, but finally, eventually, some young man turned
around and told my friend to 'shut the fuck up'.

great story that one

both and neither. i'm annoyed and sympathize with those
people. i'm annoyed with it, but that's how people are. and
therefore i'm building my own moviehouse.

i can imagine having a collective laugh at house of wax
though. sounds like fun. the whole crowd laughing at paris'
death

i'm talking about, baby/small child being taken to some
movie thats obviously not appropiate, starts crying and crys
during whole movie.

it doesn't botherr me rreally. i think i just expect noise
and talking when i go to the cinema. differrent if it is a
crrying baby orr someone rright next to me talking without
even trrying to whisperr. but overrall i seem to just cut
off frrom all the otherr noise.

I went to see "The Departed" last night, it was brilliant.
Except for the middle aged woman in front of me and my
mates, constantly asking her husband what was going on.
"So, is he the policeman? he was in jail." "Is that the
baddie?" "Why are they shooting him?" etc, etc, etc,
It wasn't a hard movie to follow at all, this cow must have
been really fuckin' dumb.

hehe, we're watching shawshank redemtion for english at
school atm, and its hilarious how little patience some
people have.
'is he going to kill himself?'
'whats he doing with the gun?'
'hows he gonna get the girl?'

and, for all those who have seen the movie (whats that,
everyone?) theres the part with the old dudes suicide note
and he says how he feeds the birds and he sits there waiting
for jake to show up. and one girl says 'jake who?'
stupid stupid stupid. but quite funny.

this eirks me more than anything, same goes for watching a
DVD at home. I really like to lose myself in the movie,
absorb every element, I become uncharacteristicly angry when
people disturb this process. Me and my closest friend have
an understanding that once the movie starts no talking, we
both just really like/understand film. unlike my ex GF who
was like the silly cow swears mentioned.

GRRRRR

i have a horrible problem laughing out loud at 'overly
dramatic' moments - normally it's when something is supposed
to be heart-wrenching or disgusting or very evil
but it's stuff that people are lost in because it's a movie
and i can;t help but jerk them out of it
because, to me, it's just so fucking rediculous

I have no idea why some of you fuckers are so damned racist
- usually, the people I catch running their mouths
throughout the film are white, but that's because I live in
a mostly white area - and of course, kids of all colors ruin
everything.

People these days have their 62" TV's at home and can't seem
to make the transition to public theater. They forget that
it isn't their ottoman in front of the screen, it's real
people.

Hollywood makes movies for black people. They advertise them
on black channels and promote them on black talk shows and
magazines. This is no secret. Black comedians have joked
about black women yelling at the movie screen. Im just
repeating it.

Oh...yes my greatest pet peeve ever. Along with girls using
the term "whatever" for everything.

I do also hate it when people talk. My friend talks in the
theater, he doesn't whisper its like he doesn't know what
whispering is. Yesterday I watched a movie at home, and I
was into it. Until this cunthole started talking jibberish
and kept it up. I didn't want to be a dick and say 'shut
the fuck up', he was my guest who was using myspace for a
long ass time until i watched a movie.

Crying babies - I mean for fuck's own sake, leave them at
home. Especially like in a suspense/thriller/scary movie.

People letting the seat bob up and down when they get up...

People parading up and down the stairs, I hope they break
their ankles.

People talking on phones/someone used a fuckin Treo
throughout the theater so there he was typing away.

Loud comments as if this was school and he needed to be the
class clown.

How my popular theater in the city has it in the hall
lobbies I get no signal but in the theater itself gets
clear/good signal.

A long ass time ago I went to see a scary movie and next to
me were a couple. I don't mind a movie being like a
romantic situation or a date. But I think it becomes too
much when I hear the bitches making out loudly. If they
want to get freaky and engage in public make out display,
let me go home to get my camera first then do so, however I
paid money to watch a scary movie.

I'm more worried about whether they will remember to turn
off the lights, or if the sound is going to be fucked, or if
the image will be perfectly aligned. If someone bothers me I
tell them to "shut the fuck up".
