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.

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 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".
