My boyfriend and I was watching Vantage Point the other day and he was seated beside a girl who keeps on commenting throughout the movie. Or she will shriek during the exciting scenes (this is not a horror movie.. it's kind of ok if it's a horror movie). He was so irritated and kept on looking at her whenever she speaks, but she doesn't get it! There was even a point when the gun was pointed at the villain, she kept on saying "kill him, kill him, what are you waiting for, kill him!" My boyfriend was so annoyed! I didn't hear her much though.. I don't have much problems with people like that because sometimes I unconsciously do it.. haha! and i don't like people to get mad at me! but of course other people don't like this. what about you? Are you the silent type and hates people who makes a sound while watching the movie? Or is it ok with you if the one beside you is making noises?

Hi there! I just ignore people who talks alot during the movies as long as I can still hear what the characters in the movie are saying. I haven't actually encountered anyone who have prevented me from hearing the movie but maybe if I do, I will let the person know. It is a public place after all and we have to be considerate about the other people who are also there.

Yeah, some people who acts like that are kind of thick and wouldn't noticed rolling of the eyes and frowning at all. You just have to tell them directly.

It depends on how loud the person is being. The louder they are, the more ticked off I get about it. I might whisper "kill him" to myself but, no one but my hubby might hear me. I usually keep quiet unless something funny happens. Then I will laugh. Or, if I didn't hear something someone in the movie said, I might quietly lean over and ask my hubby what the line was. He then whispers back what it was. But, I know we are really quiet and not bothersome on the off occasion that that happens.
I also hate it when people leave their cell phones on and it rings or, once I was sitting next to a guy who kept checking his cell phone every 2 minutes and was texting back and forth. There is a little thing before the movie starts, on the screen that either vocally asks the audience to turn off all communication devices like pagers and cell phones before the movie starts. Or, it is written across the screen. It is one of the rudest things when you have literally been asked on the screen to turn your cell off and people choose to ignore it because they think they are way more important than everyone else.

I never mind when people whisper in one another's ears. You are right, that is the best way to do it. I also hate seeing the light of some person's cell light up so they can text someone. I just think that if they couldn't handle being away from their phone for the 1 or 2 hours during the movie, perhaps they should have waited until they could be away from their phone to take in a movie. Or, if they felt they would be tempted to tinker on their phone during the movie, they should have just either left it at home or in the car. A few 120 minutes away from their stupid phone won't kill them. But, if they keep ticking people off around them, a human might do you bodily harm. And, I wouldn't stand in their way if they did do them bodily harm! LOL! I know! I am just a little bit evil! LOL!

maybe I'm the one you're talking about! LOL my friend and I watched the same movie last night too. and I was so excited during the whole movie that I was asking my friend a lot of questions and throwing him my comments and getting startled everytime the President was shot and the the bombs exploded. ^__^;; but I don't remember shrieking and I did my best to keep it low. ^__^;; and I'm sure it was only my friend who got bugged and annoyed. LOL
at times when I encounter people like me, I just get amused and laugh it off. nothing much I can do about it if they are so excited about the movie that they couldn't contain it. but I did encounter some people who were so noisy! as in, they were in the other aisle and we were a lot of seats far from each other but I could hear them and the annoying thing about it was they were laughing at scenes that weren't really funny. ^.^ of course i got annoyed but I couldn't really go to them just to tell to stop. ^__^;; and even if they were near, I think I wouldn't be able to tell them to stop because I'm too timid to do it but I would surely throw them annoyed glances. ^__^

haha really? i watched it saturday so it probably wasn't you! haha! it really depends on how people do it, some people are really annoying, while if other people do it, it's kind of ok. But if they laugh at somthing not funny, you get distracted and you lose parts of the movie.

Personally, I like to discuss a movie while I'm watching it and so, sometimes when I go to the movies with the hubby, I tend to make comments. However, I will lean over most times and whisper it in his ear.
I like to hear people make comments on the movie. Man, I have heard some people say some pretty hilarious stuff, to the point where everybody surrounding his row in the theater was laughing. I am not an uptight person and I think it's a little uptight to get angry over something so silly. That's just my take on it anyway...

yep leaning over and whispering it to the other person is the best way to do it! =) i do that too! well sometimes if people talk during insignificant parts of the movie (like when the actor is just walking to the door) then it's ok. but if they are talking during a conversation in the movie, then that would be a big problem.. i can't listen to two people at once, most probably, i will absorb what the person seated beside me is saying and not the movie. Which makes me irritated. and if you missed a part of the conversation.. then there's a big chance you can't understand the second part.

Haha! I may have inadvertently prevented you from enjoying the movie! Hope you still enjoyed it! I'm imagining you telling your hubby to keep his voice down and him giving you weird looks because previously you didn't care and now you are concerned. Haha! And I keep on smiling while typing this now! haha!

Well, I understand what you're saying and I never thought about it in that way....
What's funny is, tonight my husband and I went to the movies and the whole time I was thinking of your question and I was trying very hard not to be loud with my whispers. My husband can't whisper, he has to be so loud and so, I kept telling him to lower his voice LOL...

I really hate it when someone keeps talking loudly and distracts me from the film. I am on a tight budget and go to movies to enjoy the movie not to listen to some idiots talking loudly about the film. I also hate it when people bring their cell phones into the library and proceed to talk in loud tones when you are trying read a book or work on something. cannot they read the signs on the door that ask that cell phones be turned off in the library? did not their parents teach them about not being rude?

Isian't it just the pits? Went to the movies last week,there was a man who decided to have a conversation on his cell,after about five minutes he then decided to take it outside.I don't mind so much before the movie,but hey,I go to the movies to watch the show,apparently not every one does.This is when having a packet of crisps is handy,one then can move closer....discreetly of course, and crunch the packet,have not yet got to this stage,but close..lol
Cheers

Haha! I have also experienced someone talking on the cell, but I was kind of ok with it because he was at least trying to minimize his voice and was whispering. What I didn't like was other people who kept pressing their mobile phones to check if they have messages or missed calls, and suddenly at the corner of your eye, there's this bright light and you are distracted. This is extremely annoying if the characters in the movie have a different accent or they speak an "old" english type of language and you really have to concentrate very well. And people who do these things don't just do it once, they check their phones every 10-15 minutes. GRrrr!

And that is why I don't like watching movies with other people.
Movies are meant to be enjoyed alone. I don't want anyone to try influence my view of the movie. If they don't talk, that's fine. Otherwise, it can be real irritating.

Hi,
I prefer to watch movie in silence. I don't like people screaming and shouting while watching movie. I think it is not right to disturb others who want to watch movie in a theater. But, at times, it is a good idea to ignore such people. It can otherwise create a bad scene and we are there to enjoy the movie. So, I feel as long as you can hear the dialog, it's fine. It things go out of limit, then have to find another way. Good day.

I myself am not that quiet (depending on the movie). If I am watching a comedy then I wouldn't suggest you accompany me because I love comedies the best and am not afraid to let out a good hearty laugh. Now scary movies I don't go to see becuause I don't like them and whenever I did attend a horror flick

I don't mind if people laugh at comedies (as long as it's really the funny part and other people are also laughing along) or if it's action/suspense and you suddenly inhale sharply (other people do it too, and you hear the audience collectively do it). It's ok.. the problem if is people keep on commenting and thinking that they are smart for thinking what they're thinking.

I hate it because it ruins a film for me as I like to escape into the film, which is impossible if some idiot is talking all the time, that's probably why I don't go that often.
The only thing that annoys me more is the idiots who can't turn their mobile off, ffs if you think you are so important that you can't be disconnected for a whole hour and a half, then at least put it on vibrate and go outside to answer it.

Yup everyone should put their mobiles on vibrate. I ignore my phone when I go to the movies and I just call or respond after the movie. It's because I don't want to miss a part of the movie, I hate the feeling that there is a gap in the movie and usually, it would be an important part that people talk about.. and you can't relate because you went out of the theater to answer the phone! This is a lot like when I was in highschool and I like to pass notes and chat during class hours, and usually the part of the lesson I missed is the one given in the pop quiz! Darn! Haha!

i think you wouldn't be able to hear someone commenting the show if the cinema has sensoround(jeez, dunno the spelling)audio. i dont know i dont hear other people talking in the cinemas hear. i dont really mind, its their prerogative.

If they were loud and distracting enough to keep me from hearing and concentrating on the movie, I'd be very irritated by it. Movies aren't cheap these days and I figure if I paid for my ticket the same as they paid for theirs, they owe me and the other customers the respect to let us enjoy the show. I think if it was really bad I'd go tell the manager and tell them to either ask them to shut up or leave, or I'd demand my money back or a rain-check.

I don't mind if people shout out or shriek if something exciting happens during a movie (I do it myself) - but I get very annoyed if they are just having a conversation with someone and it has nothing to do with the movie. There's a time and place for everything, and I think it would be polite for them to wait and have their talk afterwards!

I'm one of those people who really get annoyed with noisy people in the same theater as me. A perfect example was when i was watching one of the "Lord of the Rings" movies and i was unfortunately sitting in front of a row full of high school girls. needless to say, every time Orlando Bloom came on screen, they screamed and shrieked like, well, high school girls. I love movies and i watch them not just for the acting but for the technical aspects as well since i want to become a filmmaker in the future, so i want to watch movies in as much peace as i can.:)
