A Rant on Annoying Moviegoers - Part 2 

Bad experience? Ok. Picture this: I'm brazilian, but I watch movies in english (they have subtitles) and sometimes a child is in the theater and can't read the subtitles, let alone understand english. Guess what happens? The parent reads EVERY SINGLE LINE to the child. That is just... evil.

My rule: Talk during commercials. Once the trailers start wrap it up and tone it down. Once the movie starts STFU.

This video's coming on four years old. We need a third one.

"ladies if i wanted an audio commentary I'd have bought the blu Ray" had me wheezing

100% of the time when you tell someone to be quiet, somehow YOU'RE the crazy person, always.

"If I wanted audio commentary, I would've bought the blu-Ray" That shit is devastating.

I remember I went to see Avengers Endgame, and there are these young "6th graders" talking, texting and walking in and out of the theater, for nearly the entire f*cking movie, but thankfully there was a older man who told them to shut up, and the kids don't give a shit...So he tells them "If you kids don't zip it I will throw you out the theater one by one" and then he sits next to them, for the rest of the movie, God bless that guy...

Chris, it’s been a while. We need a part 3.

I went on a date one time and the woman that said she loved talking during movies because it makes it so much more fun. There wasn't a second date.

If I want to enjoy a horror movie I don't bother going to the cinema I'll just wait for a home release. It's not always ideal but at least it's a controlled environment.

Theaters need to include a noise cancelling headphone option.

My wife I went to see The Nightmare Before Christmas when they re-released it in 3D and a family came in towards the end of the previews talking loudly and they sat right behind us and preceded to talk constantly threw the movie, I started to look back at them and made sure they saw me but nothing changed, finally about 20 mins in a biker looking dude in front of me looked back at them and said "are yall going to talk the whole movie?" they looked shocked but pretty much stayed quit after that. So moral of the story bring a mean biker looking dude with you.

Spot on assessment my friend! The movie theater is my temple, its my escape and anyone who fucks with this should be destroyed! Those who talk or text during a movie are a plague on society.

Movie theaters should play that Seinfeld clip, nice and loud, after all the trailers are done.

I know the perfect way to fix the problem. Make theatre chairs that are similar to massage chairs, so if someone starts talking through the movie, it will raise an uncomfortable bump on the back of their chair and light up a small display that says "if you want you chair to be comfortable again, stop talking". You only need mild discomfort to make them stop.

Three middle aged women repeated every Cat pun in Cats but it kind of improved my experience.

It's ridiculous that people pay $10 to sit in a dark room and stare at their phone or talk to their friends. You can do that at home for free.

They should just play chris' message in front of every movie at the theatres

This is why when movies come out in the theatre I don’t see the movie till about 3 or 4 weeks after the premiere because nobody is really there and it’s really quiet

I never though that I was loud in a movie theater but after this video I could think of some times when I may have been disrespectful to the people around me. This video made me more aware of how much noise I was making. Thank you

Movie theaters should have a button on each chair to send up an alert that someone is ruining the experience. If a certain percentage of the audience presses the button within say a minute or two's time, the usher gets notified and investigates. This eliminates two problems: 1) polite moviegoers don't have to confront the offenders. They don't even need to get up. 2) The theater can better justify getting involved, because they have numerical data telling them just how many people are having a bad experience and are less likely to return. In fact, they could probably correlate these numbers over time and see how it affects revenue. Also, buttons are cheap, and wiring them up (or using wireless) to a numerical display with some rudimentary programming super simple.

Number 1 rule for life: NEVER go to a horror film on it's release week. it's going to be filled with immature teenage brats who won't shut up or turn their phones off

I know I´m late commenting this, but... Things haven´t changed. Just watched "Rise of Skywalker". Behind me sat an old man, having sweets from a bag, that made a real loud noise, when grabbing the sweets. After constantly wording out things he saw on the screen while the previews and grabbing constatly into the loud bag. I hoped he´d shut up, as soon as the movie started. Of course he didn´t. The movie started. He grabbed the bag and commented everything he saw... After 5 Minutes, I turned around, held a finger before my mouth and made the universal sound for "Keep it quiet, please". The man didn´t react, but kept on doing his stuff. Another minute later, I turned around and asked, if he could please stop to make the noises, because it keeps me from enjoying the film. He said "It´s okay.", but didn´t change his manners at all. Another few minutes later, I turned again and asked again, this time a little louder, but still friendly. He told me to change my seat, if I can´t stand it. I told him, that I paid for exactly this seat and won´t sit anywhere else, since the room was crowded. I asked a final time for him to be quiet. So he threw his now empty bag of chocolates after me. I never felt so desrespected in my life at all. He tried to bother me by shaking his popcorn after he finished the sweets and never stopped talking until the movie ended. Unfortunatly noone else ever spoke up. That´s the most annoying thing... Everyone else is not brave enough to skeap up against cinematic hooligans.

Someone used a drone in the theatre near where I live. Yep... That was something that happened...

I was actually really impressed the other day. I went to see Jurrasic World Fallen Kingdom, and this couple brought their two really little kindergarten aged kids to see it. I turned to my mother and I was like "they seem a little young to see this" and I was correct. They were not enjoying the movie and they were whining and making noise, but to my surprise the parents took the kids and left the theatre. They left so that other people's experience wouldn't be ruined. It was very refreshing to see some respect in the theater.

That one scene in Scary Movie where all the moviegoers all ganged up on Brenda and killed her because she wouldn't shut up was so satisfying to watch.

Come to India, they burst firecrackers in theatres.

I had a couple talk throughout the entirety of The Quiet Place!

A lady brought her baby to Endgame. A brief reminder is that Endgame was a movie that was hyped for nearly 10 to 11 years. The lady with a baby sat right next to me, and as soon as the movie started... the crying began. Thankfully it ended at the halfway point, but I was so angry that someone has the audacity to actually bring their child, who they know will full and well cry, to a cinematic event I had been looking forward too since I was a kid. It takes another level of ignorance for that.

I saw Hacksaw Ridge a few weeks ago. One of the best movies of the year, but someone in my row thought it'd be a great idea to bring their 5 year old to see this Mel Gibson war movie. It was not.

When I went to see Richard Jewell, an old couple sat one seat away from me even though there was only one other person in the entire theater. They talked constantly and at one point, the wife got a phone call and instead of silencing her phone, CALLED BACK JUST TO SEE WHO IT WAS. She was loudly whispering into the phone and I could literally hear the guy on the other end saying "What?" The husband shushed her and she yelled at him "NO ONE CARES." Uh, hey, I CARE. Some people are so freaking entitled.

I went to see 1917, and a couple of young adults were laughing during the movie, pretty annoying, i told them "Would you please shut up?!" And guess what, they laughed... People these days don't care about the other ones around them.

literally had a woman and her daughter provide commentary right behind me during don't breathe. There are two types of movie goers. The people who genuinely love movies and the people who go for social hour to pass the time.

My bad movie experiences always involve crying babies

I was actually lucky enough to have the most heavenly cinematic experience a few days ago. I decided to go watch "parasite" after work by myself and it was a movie that I was really looking forward to since all the critics and reviews of it had been magnificent. I turned up to the movie and there was literally only five other people with me, all of them elders who were there for the same reasons. I watched this masterpiece in silence, with the best seat in the middle of the theater and with no interruptions whatsoever. An experience that every film fanatic deserves.

This isn’t quite relevant to cinemas, but it’s similar. I went to a Classical music concert a last year and it is pretty much like going to a cinema in the sense that you sit in silence and listen. So I went to the Royal Albert Hall (you know, one of the most famous concert halls in England which only accomplished artists perform at) and and the amount of people that sit on their phones with the brightness all the way up is ridiculous. How can you sit on your phone during a live performance of Beethoven’s 5th Piano Concerto and 9th Symphony??? It’s disrespectful to the conductor, it’s disrespectful to the orchestra, it’s disrespectful to the soloist and it’s disrespectful to everyone in the hall. I just will never understand some people and I suppose I’m grateful that I am not one of those rude people.

I almost yelled at a family once for being beyond obnoxious. It wasn't even the fact they were talking, kicking and coughing. I nearly lost my edge when they started taking 20 thousand photos of each other with the click and flash on. WHO THE HELL DOES THAT?!?

I feel my blood pressure rising every time I watch you talk about this.

Is it just me, or has this issue gotten WAYYYY WORSE AFTER COVID??!! Before it, I only had like two instances I could remember of bad movie goers. After Covid, almost HALF of the showings I’ve been to have had people who are super loud and won’t shut up! And it never feels like it’s worth the hassle to tell them to stop talking cause THEY see YOU as the crazy one. And it’s always a group of people who are being total smart alecks and are picking apart the movie for everyone to hear. I probably sound crazy, but I just have to let off some steam after watching “Everywhere All At Once” tonight. I had a guy next to me who was on his phone for half the movie, and even had the volume up at one point. Even though it was just him, he was still talking out loud at points during the movie. If you’re going to do that crap, WAIT FOR THE MOVIE TO GO TO DIGITAL!! It only takes like a month now. I had to get all of that rage off my chest haha. Hope this helps someone else as annoyed as I am about movie going audiences today. Chris, please weigh in and make “Part 3: Post Covid”

When I saw Cats there was a lady who sang aloud every song in the movie throughout the entire runtime. At first it was really bothering me seeing as the entire movie is basically one continuous song. But at a certain point she became more entertaining than the movie so it is what it is.

I went to go see Keanu, the couple in front of me were VAPING the whole movie. Went to see Popstar, my friend is on his phone the entire movie. We leave, and he goes, "Wasn't that good". But.. You didn't... Went to see Conjuring 2, woman behind me loudly guessed every scare AND burped 3 times throughout. Then when Patrick Wilson starts singing with the guitar, this girl says to her boyfriend, "Why can't I have that". Mayyyyybe it's because you're awful.

As someone who works at the movie theatre *and* watches many films for free, I can tell you - WE DON'T LIKE IT EITHER. It happens about once every two screenings or so that I'll be sitting down in an auditorium, and some folks will come in and play around on their cell phones, or loudly talk about what's happening on-screen, or chatting out loud just because they don't think "the film is good enough yet." A couple of experiences. As a filmgoer and an employee. First one was during *Manchester By the Sea*, of all movies - there were these two ladies that would laugh ferociously loud throughout the entirety of the film, as if they were watching a Will Ferrell comedy or something - it didn't matter if the movie was actually trying to be funny or not. They'd be half a theatre away from them and you'd be hearing their commentary about the film all the way through. I would have done something, but just when I was about to get fed up and do something about it, some miracle would happen and I'd end up calming down, up until the point where they'd start all over again. Another one was during *Life*, where this old lady was prattling on about God-knows-what to her husband, unendingly. It was fine at first, when it was just the trailer, but then the opening scene began to play, and she was still talking. Feeling like she wouldn't stop, I lost my patience and asked her to stop - all she said was that "the movie hadn't started yet." Apparently, because she feels differently about film than we do, she gets to talk until it's "started". Nice. The most recent experience happened when I was cleaning a theater. I went into *Wonder Woman* a few minutes early to hopefully get it cleaned up a bit faster - and at the very top of the auditorium, I could hear howling laughter and roars from a group of teenagers up top. The other, silent filmgoers closer to the bottom of the theatre left almost immediately when the credits started rolling. As one lady was leaving, I stopped her - I asked her if they'd been like that throughout the entire movie, to which she replied "pretty much". I had to apologize to her. I felt so bad that anybody would have to deal with that after paying money to see this. This really pissed me off. Even more bothering was the fact that they seemed to have such little faith in the system that they never even came and told us. The teenagers were still screaming and hollering at the top of the theatre, but I wasn't going to let that slide. I went up to those teenagers and told them not to come back if they were ever going to be that loud during a movie again. I would have got a manager to kick them out earlier if I'd known they were pulling a stunt like that. That shit pisses me off as much as it does the rest of you. We do care, at least, at our theatre. I'm sorry you guys have to deal with this, and if we could put a stop to all of it, we would, but people just don't listen to rules, and we don't have the kind of money to hire people to constantly regulate these theatres. If somebody is being disrespectful in the audience, please, please tell us. I don't know about other theatres, but I'll do the best I can to ensure that you can enjoy your movie without that kind of hassle. I love movies as much as the rest of you.

I went and saw Maleficant: Mistress of Evil with my girlfriend and her 3 other friends. My girlfriend was quiet the whole time, but her friends talked the whole damn time. It wasn’t whispering, it was full on TALKING! There were children in the theater and her friend would say “Barbecue sauce on my titties” as loud as possible. Then her other friend would say “BE QUIET” really loudly. My girlfriend was really embarrassed and slumped down in my seat in embarrassment. After the movie ended me and my girlfriend litterally ran out and left them in there so we wouldn’t be associated with them by the staff. The movie sucked anyway but that doesn’t change the fact that there are other people in the theater who might like it.

I was on a date at a movie and there were these 3 older teens talking and making comments after every single scary scene. I finally stood up and yelled “PLEASE STOP THE PLAY-BY-PLAY COMMENTARY!!!” Worked like a charm!

I've only gotten really mad at a moviegoer one time in my life. I was sitting right behind her and her friends and she just kept talking really loudly. I just took it, and hoped they would stop. But after about 45 minutes of her non stop LOUD talking (mind you, some lady asked her to be quiet and she wouldn't listen), I got petty, so I immaturely start kicking the back of her seat every time she was loud. After about five minutes of me kicking her seat she says (without turning around) "Stop kicking my fucking seat". At this point my blood was boiling so I just shout "I will when you shut the fuck up". She then got really quiet, and after about 1 minute she looked at her friends they all left the theater. I have never fought anyone in my life but I was ready to throw hands that day.

Rules for being in a movie theatre: 1. Don't talk. Nobody wants to hear your commentary or other unnecessary words. 2. Don't use your cell phone. The movie at most is 2.5 hours long you'll survive not checking your Facebook and shit for 2 hours. If its an emergency just step out of the theatre and talk it in private. 3. Leave your babies at home. Hire a sitter or something but for the love of God don't bring your obnoxious crying offspring to the movies, especially if you know its gonna be a loud movie. 4. Open your snack outside of the theatre so no one else has to hear your failed attempt at opening a bag of sour patch kids silently. 5. If you bring your kids to come watch make sure they know to be quiet and not ask a questions about everything that's going on. 6. Bathe before coming to the movies. For Christ sake no one wants to know what your ass smells like after not showering for a few days. It literally takes 5 minutes to take a shower. 7. If someone is being loud or obnoxious and you're closest to that person please be courteous and ask them to be quiet for everyone else. Or at the very least tell the ushers. 8. Have fun. Everyone spent hard earned money to enjoy th marvel of modern day cinema so just be silent and take it all it.

The last movie I ever went to in a theater was "The Dark Knight Rises" in 2012. I haven't been to a movie since. - I used to think I was jinxed. That I was just "unlucky" sitting next to some jackass who thought nothing of talking throughout the entire movie or turning their pink popcorn wrapper into a musical instrument. But I eventually realized ... I wasn't unlucky. That's just society now. It is FILLED with inconsiderate people. So in 2014, I spent a bunch of money to turn a room in my house into a mini-theater. I bought a 75" screen and installed subwoofers in the floorboards under the 3 couches and tweeters in the walls. I realize that's not an option for most people. It's was expensive. But that decision I made came from so many horrible movie-going experiences. From other mover-goers who seemed to be totally oblivious to the fact that other people sitting around them didn't want to hear them making comments, or hear their screaming children, or hear them munching on popcorn like they'd been starved for a year.. *It's been 9 years since I've gone to the movies, something I truly LOVED to do.*

" I'm a nice guy " Chris Stuckman

So I recently saw Coco, and I’m not kidding, a group of people were FACETIMING there friend. It was awful. Finally, a guy stood up, and chewed them out. I didn’t here a peep afterwards. Thank you to him.

Saw Warcraft yesterday. With full audio commentary from the regular WoW players behind me.

I had a "friend" who went to go see Divergent and he snuck a laser pointer in and they were pointing it at the screen the entire time apparently. Suffice to say I will never go to a movie with him.

One of my worst recent movie going experiences was seeing Jordan Peele's "Us" in a theater filled with people who clearly didn't care about the movie at all. They expected some dumb slasher, got some movie to think about and just figured laughing at their own jokes the entire movie was the best course of action. It seriously impacted my enjoyment of the film and every time I think back about that film I think of how awful my time there was. On the other hand, I was invited to a preview event of the new Halloween movie; this audience was mostly made out of press and die-hard fans of the franchise. The entire movie everyone was dead quiet, right until the credits began to roll and everyone was clapping and cheering, clearly excited about the film they just saw. I'm not one to clap or cheer at the end of a film, but the entire experience just reminded me that there are good audiences still going to see movies and when that happens you will still be able to be immersed in the movie. I loved it.

so i went to a movie and this woman brought a child ,who was of temper tantrum age, who of course decided to have a tantrum during the movie. this went on for almost 45 minutes even after MULTIPLE people asked her to take her child to the bathroom to calm down. she felt she didnt have to since he wasnt being "that loud" and she deserved to finish the movie like everyone else. no one told security at first in the hopes her child would quiet down but he didnt. someone eventually grabbed a security guard who witnessed the tantrum and escorted them out. she was huffing and puffing like she was so disrespected for being escorted out. we cheered as they walked out lol.

Rogue One. A girl behind me - WHO HAD NEVER SEEN ANY FUCKING STAR WARS MOVIE SAYS THROUGHOUT - "Oh, my god. This movie is so convoluted. Where is Spock?"

The most insane theatre experience I ever had was during hereditary, Thursday night opening weekend. We got there early, picked our seats and everyone seemed excited to be there, there was talking during the previews, and once the movie started it was absolutely DEAD SILENT, it was wonderful. Until about 20 minutes in, when these two jackasses walked in and were yelling at each other and laughing. They walked up the stairs yelling “so and so where are you at?! WHERE ARE YOU AT? WHERE?!” And I mean hereditary is intense as hell, so I’m already on edge. Then this guy in the middle just yells “can you shut the fuck up?!” And a fight almost breaks out because this yelling idiot was just like “you wanna take this outside?!” It was uncomfortable to say the least. The most ridiculous part? Those two idiots left 10 minutes later and didn’t come back. What an absolute farce.

I have a few ideas: 1) Bring back ushers that stay in the theater for the entire run of the film. They can handle issues like talking, cell phone use and seating as the problems arise. Plus people are more likely to be on their best behavior if there is some form of "authority" figure present. 2) have the theater provide noise canceling headphones (I'd even be fine with the theaters charging a reasonable amount if you want to use them). or provide a jack in the chair for people to bring their own head phones. 3) Enforce the rating restriction. For R rated movies - children under 17 MUST be accompanied by an adult - not just let mom purchase two tickets for deadpool for her 8 and 9 year olds. 4) mandatory cell phone lockers - the push back won't be as severe as you may think. I've been to pre screenings where this was enforced and besides a little bit of grumbling it wasn't a huge issue.

i stopped going to theaters because of an incident in 2011 where my life was threatened because a loud group of people had me mistaken for a guy who was telling them to shut up - they followed me out into the parking lot dragged me out of my car and some guy beat me with a tire iron - i had no idea who they were i wasnt even there for the same movie - they broke my collarbone and my jaw - police were called and three went to jail - all because someone else told them to be quiet and they made it a race thing - except for groceries and work i havent left the house since

and with that snap at 14:12, Chris decimated all the annoying moviegoers in the universe perfectly balanced, as all things should be

When we went to watch Infinity War, 4-5 middle aged women sat behind us with a child. They spoke throughout the entire movie and the child was running up and down the aisle. Got to the point where we turned and out of frustration told them to shut up and control their kid. Luckily they were quiet after that.

Coming soon to theaters: "a rant on annoying moviegoers part 3" rated PG-13

Sadly, it seems like the majority of people forgot what respect is. Lol, first grade level kids being more respectful than adults, not surprising these days.

Who else felt sorry for Chris suffering to get reviews out for us. That is the definition of A GOOD PERSON

I just saw Tenet for the second time at my local cinema. During this second screening there was this guy who was texting in the middle of the movie, and it was so annoying. Towards the end he just kept checking the time on his phone, probably because he wanted to know if the movie was ending soon? Can’t we just forbid people from bringing their phones into the theater? (Except for the people who maybe need to be available in case of certain emergencies)

Here's my experience: Me and my family went to see Incredibles 2 back in 2018. Mind you, my family had already seen it before in the theaters and I haven't, so I was the only one going to see the movie for the first time.(btw, loved the movie it made me laugh a lot) So we go into the theater and the seats are 80% of kids, 15% adults and 5% teenagers. Me and my family sit in our seats in the middle row of the theater. I had to sit at the end of the row next to a teenager and right when the first line of dialogue was spoken from the movie, I knew this was going to be annoying. The teen right next to me started, not commenting or looking through his cell phone, but echoing the exact dialogue from the movie, I kid you not, word for word from Incredibles 2. 5 - 10 minutes into the movie I couldn't take it anymore, so I asked him politely to please stop talking and his response was the best thing I heard that day: "Bruh who cares kid." (fyi, I was also a teen, not a kid, in fact I might have been the same height as him), so you can imagine how mad I was. Luckily my parents noticed the situation and switched seats with me, but man... It is just sad that people nowadays just don't respect people that are trying to have a good time and not just ignore, but be rude about it as well. This is being posted in 2020 btw, I haven't been able to get it out of my mind since.

Children under the age of 5 shouldn't be allowed in movie theaters.

Unfortunately people in general have become less respectful of others. Instead people have gone the way of narcissism where it's all about me regardless. very sad, unfortunately.

I faced the same thing with No Way Home. Any of the three Spider-Men does as little as fart or slightly cough and there were “HOOOs” and “WHOAAAAAs” from the audiences, and it was at least 30% of the whole theater. Now, almost all of them were teenagers, and since there were a lot of them scattered all across the large imax theater nothing could be done about it, so I just sat there and deeply contemplated what kinda values these kids are inheriting from their parents.

I never laughed so hard when Chris started talking about the person behind him.Too funny!

i quit going to the movies for many of the same reasons. i can sit home and watch movies while listening to my neighbors yell for free

Avengers endgame. Paid over £40 to watch it in 4DX, a group of young teens sat behind us. As soon as the film started they would not stop talking. Had to tell them all to shut up. Guy next to me liked to do a bit of commentary as well! And someones phone kept going off and the guy would get up and answer the call!!!! It's infuriating. I'm the same as Chris, I used to love the movie theatre experience, but every showing i go to now gets ruined by someone.

My bad experience in a movie theater was with Annabelle: Creation. The movie just came out. Where I live, when I go to a movie theater to see a movie I'm excited to, I meet a lot of annoying people. But the worst one is with teenagers, especially when they're with groups of friends. I may have chosen the right time to see it. They are super excited (too much tho) to see it, they are sitting right behind me and during the first 15 minutes of the movie, they are starting to talk loud and kicking on my seat. I turn to them and say :"can you guys stop talking? I'm trying to watch the movie." So, 10 minutes later, they keep talking. I see a lot of people turning their head on them. I keep telling them the same thing. During the whole movie, it was like this. Just when the movie was about to finish, the mom of one of these kids show up, and they are talking LOUDER. It was super irritating. I was so pissed that I couldn't enjoy the movie as much as I wanted that, after the screening, I asked for a refund. It's the first time I had to do this. This was the worst experience I lived.

At endgame so many people were talking. Loved the movie but I had to hear, "is that iron man," or "is that Spider-Man" every three seconds

The attention span of teens and even adults today boggles my mind(I'm a teenager). I mean honestly. these people can't stay off their phone long enough to enjoy a good movie! like wtf! I watched a movie with some friends other day. it was the dark Knight. And they were literally on their phone the entire time. it's not just the movie theaters, it's everywhere. being on your phone is honestly rude and disrespectful. It's my biggest pet peeve.

When I went to see Madagascar 3 back in 2012, I went with someone who I'm not friends with anymore, not for this reason specifically but it did contribute. When there's a whole circus montage happening in the movie and Firework by Katy Perry is playing, my ex-friend SANG ALONG, AT FULL FUCKING VOLUME, DISTURBING ME AND THOSE AROUND ME. I was EMBARRASSED to be seen with him. I didn't go to the movies with him again (except once, with a group) and I'm glad I'm not friends with him anymore either

When I went to the revenant, a family sat in from of me and brought their baby which proceeded to cry and or need attention throughout the entirety of the 2hr 30 min movie. They also seemingly brought a never ending supply of food and ate it throughout the entire movie open mouthed and very loud.

During a screening of Aronofsky’s Mother a dude was laughing hysterically the whole time. Once the credits began to roll and walked up and told him that he was a terrible person. He just nodded his head and took it.

Whenever I go to the cinemas I always hope there won't be a group of teens behind me.

In the Netherlands, there's a cinema chain where you are only allowed to use your phone to report people disrupting the movie. It works really well, and me and my dad have now used it twice

If it’s a movie that isn’t popular like Endgame or Joker, it’s probably a good idea to watch because when I went to go watch Rambo: Last Blood, everyone in that theater we’re silent, even an entire family with kids was there and they weren’t even talking

It’s annoying because even if you say can you please be quiet very politely they usually still get incredibly offended and take it personally even though they are completely in the wrong

I went to see Suicide Squad and let me tell you that movie theater was the quietest movie theater ever and it was full. Heaven on earth

It's actually sad that people disliked this video

I know how you feel. I went to go see the Rise of Skywalker the other day and had something similar happen. I had heard about how emotional the movie was beforehand and I wanted nothing more than to have my face melted by this epic conclusion to a 42-year-old story. I love having emotional experiences during movies/TV shows. I cried during the beautiful finale of Gravity Falls not so long ago and I wanted to be rattled in a similar way by The Rise of Skywalker. This did not happen. The impact of the wonderful ending was ripped away by none other than my family who went with me to see the movie. There is a tragic death scene later in the movie and I didn’t get to appreciate it because my mother burst out laughing. In addition to that, my brother was whispering jokes the entire time and kept telling me how much he hated the movie. Neither of them would stop when I asked them to. My dad was also snoring the whole time. Everyone got mad at me when I called them out afterwards. I’m a relatively positive guy, I don’t usually rant like this so naturally, I forgave them because they all eventually came around and wanted to give the film a second chance. We went again and literally the exact same thing happened. They would not stop making noise. You know that feeling of getting to watch an emotional movie uninterrupted for the first time? Yeah, I will never get to experience that with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and that truly saddens me. I asked a girl to go see it with me and haven’t heard back yet. She’s a major Star Wars fan and I know she’s respectful and quiet and the perfect person to watch a movie with. If anyone can redeem the damage my family did to my Star Wars movie-going experience, it’s her. I hope she says yes. I would love to finally get to watch the darn movie.

I was watching A Quiet Place, and this whole group of teens were screaming and taking flash photography of the screen, and I was with a person who hadn't seen the movie before, and it completely ruined the experience.

I work in a cinema. You'll like this man! Our place is almost completely silent. I cover the halls among many other things but I have an equaliser! If someone is making noise or on a phone? I warn them! If they continue I unleash my weapon upon them. A high powered LED torch that can bee seen from 550 yards away. I go up, position myself and turn that bad motherfucker on right in front of their face! It literally blinds then for about 20 seconds. The word has spread and we get a high turnout as people speak of that that evil long haired fucker that blinds people so badly they never make another sound in fear I'll do it again. After holding that light on them for about 10 seconds is say, "Don't make me come back!" I never have too... :-)

This was 6 years ago… it’s 2023 and this shit is STILL happening. I’ve been through a lot, and I mean A LOT of of movie theater experiences where you have people constantly taking you back into reality when all you want to do is see a movie. My wife and I went through this a couple times lately throughout the year. We had a group of loud talking and texting teenagers when we saw Creed 3, there were kids stomping all over the aisles when we saw Scream 6 (seriously, who brings 5-6 year old kids to an R rated slasher film??) and the worst was those assholes who bring babies, this happened in Super Mario Bros. Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and recently with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse… why would you bring a baby to a movie theater? Their memory chain is smaller than peas in a pod, they won’t know what’s going on, and they spend the majority of the day crying to get your attention… because they’re babies!! If the reason is because they can’t find a sitter, well then YOU don’t go to the theater and deal with your parental responsibilities. Your wants and needs are put aside for your kid. Probably the worst experience I have had by far was when I saw SMILE back in October… oh my god, it’s traumatizing. The theater was packed and by the first trailer I knew this was gonna be an issue. There were a bunch of grown adults who were so overly loud, they were talking throughout the movie, they were laughing at nothing during the movie, I keep seeing phones out from people, even so many occasions where they were taking flash pictures of the screen or even flashing lights in my aisle directly to my face when I was trying to watch the movie. There was even a moment where 2 blonde teens come out of nowhere and sit in front of my aisle… and they were pulling their phone out and one shouted “DON’T OPEN THE DOOR!!” and she did it intentionally to be annoying… you have no idea how much I was fuming inside, I wanted to explode. It was disgusting how people are this disrespectful to others who just want to simply watch a movie and get insecure when they get called out for their bullshit.

I saw The Batman last weekend(in IMAX) and halfway through the movie these two ladies behind me were having their own little private conversation amongst themselves. I tried to just ignore it but they kept on talking. I eventually turned around and gave them a look, but that clearly didn't do anything. So a while later I turned around and shushed them but they still continued talking.The only reason I'm so angry about this is because I am a huge Batman fan, and going to see such a film in the IMAX theatre makes it even more special. I really don't understand why people would go to watch an IMAX movie, where it's meant to be even more immersive, and talk.

What worst than talking in the movie theater? people who set behind me and eat pop corn like a horse.

I remember Scream 4 in theaters with my stepdad on opening day. The theater was full of people who were loud as hell. People were all talking, one lady next to us was talking on her phone. Seriously, I fail to understand how people have the audacity to talk on their phones during a damn movie. That just sickens me.

I feel this is the inspartion of the new Joker movie.

This video just popped up on my feed. The intro in the context of 2020 is awesome

Montréal theaters have/had a warning that said 'Don't ruin the movie by adding your own soundtrack.'

If I owned a theatre, I would put this video (randomly alternated with part 1) before every screening. At full volume.

Seeing IT (part 1) in the theater was the definition of pain and I haven’t been to a theater since. I can deal with people using their phones honestly as long as they turn the screen brightness down, I can even deal with people constantly talking as long as they make an effort to be quiet. But good lord that screening man, I had to leave an hour into it because I couldn’t take it anymore

Thank you Chris, for describing your viewpoint as one who does reviews. I think you hit it out of the ball park as far as what some in your position go through. I too, love movies, and these are indeed annoying and inconsiderate. Keep making these...someone will eventually get this. I hope that it's sooner than later. You rock.

I know I'm very late, but when I went to see Beauty and the Beast (2017), this group of kids beside me would not stop talking and moving their reclining seats around constantly. Me and the people I saw it with very kindly asked them to stop talking multiple times. We even got their parents, who were across the row, to tell them to be quiet. It didn't work, so I then resorted to say "quit it!" pretty loudly. It still didn't work.

Part 3????!!!

I used to hate going to the movies by myself but now with so many good movies coming out going to the movies by myself is an escape from life and I love it, and people can get annoying but I love just going to see a movie

When I went to see Ford v. Ferrari with my friend (who I was still getting to know at the time), I could not believe how disrespectful she was. The two things that really bothered me were that she got on her phone (full brightness) and started playing TikTok videos very loud. I asked her if she could not play them right now, and she agreed. THEN, she called one of her friends and was talking to them for about a few minutes. I stared at her until she got off, and was like "What the hell?" (She thought that I was being goofy, but I clearly wasn't). About halfway into the movie, she told me that she was gonna head to the bathroom and would be right back. She leaves and doesn't come back for about 30 minutes (which, not gonna lie, did help improve the experience. lol). The only benifit that I got out of that night was that she paid for our tickets. I know that seems a bit unfair, but after all of that, I didn't give a shit.
