Do you have one of these annoying people in your family?

aha.. you are not the only one with such family members. I too hav family members who brek out the whole story of the movie and ruins the whole thrill of it. I cant do anythingelse about it rather than getting disturbed. May be u coud giv him a personal advise.

I actually have the opposite problem. I have the type of family that will ask if they have figured out a movie to those that have seen it already to which I reply, "Just watch and see." Sorry no advise for how to deal with your situation! Sandy

Thank G-d I do not. My mom and Dad loved the movies.I didn't know how much until I was a movie buff myself.If I had seen a movie and I am watching with someone who hasn't seen it, I Never give away plot.I don't see any horror or today's romantic comedies because I Hate the genre. It really doesn't matter to me what today's critic think about any film.The only critic I listen to id roger Ebert and even then, If I want to see a film, I go to see it. And if I don't want to see a film , I won't go to see it.

Hi Alex, Yes all of these people I know and they happen to land in my family as well. My brother is beyond being a movie critic. He's gone so far as to writing a script and then dreamed after about making it. I swear he's seen almost every movie you can name and he's studied it to a tea, even his impersonations of each character are simply mocked in all of his rediculous voices. My mom is very picky about movies she watches and everytime my brother rents movies from the video store she complains about it that she's either seen it before and why he's waisting money on already rented movies or how imature the movie is itself. I think that's when I realized that he was not only watching movies but studying them as well. My other brother all I can say about him is that he can't stand horror movies. When we were young children you would find him with a blanket over his head and his hands covering his ears haha! Have a great day

those people drive me crazy and i really get pissed off. i just try to forget that they're there watching with me although ignoring them is quite hard. id rather watch the movie by myself or with someone who won't ruin the experience... (:

Yes I do. I have this aunt who keeps on ruining the entire movie experience. Whevener we watch a movie, be it inside someone's house or the theater full of strangers, after every scene she'd go slap knees and say "I knew it!" and then she go on to explain why she thought she knew it was going to happen. Annoying! But I love her lol

My 'annoying' ones are my mom and my bro - they will talk through the movie, about the movie. Questions like, 'Oooh, what do you think happens now?', 'Do you think he saw that guy lurking over there?" and such ALL THROUGH THE MOVIE. And they're both very loud voiced. I long ago refused to sit next to my brother in a movie theatre..no way. Fortunately, I don't live with them anymore so it's rarely a situation which comes up. Also fortunately, both my daughter and my husband are the type who might make a quick comment or two in a low voice, but overall appreciate being quiet and enjoying the movie itself. How to deal with the rudeness you describe? Don't watch movies with those folks. As example: I wanted to watch the sequel to 'Elizabeth' which is 'Elizabeth - the Golden Age.' I love stuff about Elizabeth I, Henry VIII and the like. My husband does not (and I have no doubt he would be right there, 'making insulting comments, making faces and snorts and chuckles' just like your folks!). My solution was to wait until he's out of town, then invite my mom over to watch it on DVD with me. Yeah, there were some loud comments and silly questions like, "Oooh, I like movies like this, don't you" during the movie itself (No, ma. I HATE movies like this - that's why I rented it), but at least I was spared the snorts and chuckles and smart-a** comments.

I don't think I have one of those people in my family. Then again, I'm not a big movie watcher and don't go to the movies alot, nor do I care much about being told how a movie turns out. It's just a movie and there are far worse things that can be done to a person. So even if there was a tattler in the family I probably wouldn't worry about it much.

Yes I have met such kind of people, but thankfully not in my family. However, this is one of the reason, I always prefer to watch a movie alone or with some trusted people only.

my nine year old loves to do this. luckily, she usually listens when we ask her to stop. Sometimes she gives us a little impish grin before letting us know she knows whats coming.

Oh, yeah. We've all had those people. I really hate it when I have to hear anyone else's reaction to the movie at all. I hate it when my mom gasps at something violent, or tsks at something sad, because it really ruins the mood. The point of a movie is to really forget who you are and what you are doing and get in tune with the plot and the characters, and a lot of people just don't seem to get it! I think it's the best to watch them alone.

My sister is the opposite. She is very annoying in always asking questions. Even if both of us are watching the same movie and both of us haven't watched it before, she still asks me what happened. She comments also at a point when I could never hear the conversation and then misses the best part because of her noise. GrRRRRRRR.... I know how you feel. It's irritating. The more for you because it spoils your experience with the movie. What I would do is frankly tell them to respect my own adventure in watching the movie and set aside comments after the show....That's it...Have a great day!

o yeah i have many of them in my family LOL..if they start to say sth bout the movie i watch, i told them to stop n let me watch it till the end of the story myself hahaha..its sometimes funny, coz its addictive Once they ask something they wont be able to stop the questions or telling us bout the plot hahah..

I don't quite have any of those exact sorts of people in my family, but I do have a sister who, if she has seen a film, will make a comment such as "Oooh yay, I love this part!" before it happens. That always gives me a clue about what is going to happen, and it can be frustrating. If I haven't seen a film, usually I try to watch it on my own rather than with her because I will know the ending before it comes if she is in the room. She doesn't try to give away the ending, but in her excitement, she does.

It happens that I talk to the tv, while watching a movie. But I try to do that only when I'm alone and not when I'm watching a movie with someone.

No their is no one like u described in my family. If my sister watched a movie then she won't tell me the story. she says it spoils the mood of watching it in first place

This sounds like my husband. I have had to basically tell him that I did not appreciate him doing these sort of things. It hasn't totally broken him of it, but I have no qualms telling him to be quiet, because there are plenty of HIS hobbies I put up with. I know this isn't the most diplomatic or helpful answer. But I just put my foot down. I have a right to enjoy what I am watching.
