maybe not only you are angry with the couple.you can collect with others and told the couple together to keep silence.If they don't agree ,you can ask help from the staffer.Hope you will have a good mood.

You don’t have to fight them, just tell them to shut up. If they don’t like that then you can throw stuff in their hair or sneeze loudly on them. That’s what my sisters and I do in theaters. The correct thing to do is to politely ask someone to be quiet and if they don’t move or go find someone who works there. But my philosophy is an eye for an eye and never treat them any worse than they treat you (like a fight) but don’t let them get away with acting terrible and getting away with it without you having a little fun with them too.

Heck yeah! I shh them and shsh them until I finally tell them top shut up. Then I'll tell them to shut up again. Then I go get the manager. You know another thing that gets me. A person who doesn't speak the language the movie is in, so they bring a translater so you hear someone talking the whole way thru the movie. The other thing that gets me, is when someone brings a child too young for the movie and the kids keeps asking why, what's that, why'd they do that, what's going on, what's so funny. You don't want to hurt the kid but the parent I could definitely have words with.

Hello rocketsky, not recently but what bothers me the most is when the person sitting behind me kicks the back of my chair every few minutes. I won't say anything after the first few times but if it continues through most of the movie then I will say something and not too kindly. Only one time did I completly miss a movie when my new b/f at the time kept me liplocked through the whole movie . I won't miss a movie again, I couldn't even tell anyone what the movie was about because I didn't know.

I think i'd shoot them(not you) with my shotgun. Nah, just joking. And no, this never happened to me before but one time I went to watch some animated children's movie and there were many children screaming and yakking away it was quite difficult to hear what was going on in the movie.

Yes it has and I have asked people to be quiet so I could hear the movie since I paid, just as they did. It is too expensive to go to the movies not to be able to hear it, so it is not fair that someone prevents you from hearing it by being rude. It can be nicely said. OR, if nothing else, and it is possible, I would just change seats.

Hi rocketsky,it is very disturbing when someone in front of you while watching movie in the cinema hall.These people have no sense at all.They do not even know that it is not ethical to talk in front of people while you are amid a lot of others.

Going toapublicshow orcinema has its disadvantages i was once at the cinema alone wheere there was this singlelady sitting beside me,she obviously had watched the movie before,i dont mind about that but the annoying thing is she cant just keep hermouth shut as she keeps telling me the next scene,thus making the movie uninteresting to me ,i was forced for another empty seat so i can enjoy myself

May be I will just move to another sit to avoid troubles. It's annoying if other people inside the theater keep chatting and smooching while the movie is going on, I am easily distracted with these silly gestures inside the theater.

Your BF should have politely asked the couple to be considerate of others and if that did not work he should have gone to the management and asked them to do something about it and give your money back or give you tickets to see the movie at another time.

Wah, that is the worst thing in the theatre. I once experienced the same problem. The audiences behind us were so noisy. I kind of yell at them and make a "ssssttttt" sound to ask them to be quiet. Fortunately, they understand. The other experience was, we watched horror movie, but some audiences were just said something funny about the scene. The horror movie turned to be a comedy, because after that the other audiences commented each other with similar funny expression...Huh...

I would just tell the guy to shut up, or just end up exchanging my place with somebody else during the break or make sure I put a number of people between us. How irritating and un-understanding can some people get.

Yes, I also feel bad if sitting in a cinema hall and watching a movie, someone sitting next to me does silly things. I feel doing such things like kissing etc. works as a distraction for others and others just cannot enjoy their movie. If someone has to chat or kiss the other fellow, he/she better try to do it at some other public place, rather than doing it in a Movie theatre and disturbing others. Some are very great, they keep narrating the story of the movie and the next scene to the other fellow, without knowing or realising that there are many who wants to enjoy the suspense in the movie. Good Post!

I understand that people may want to question a certain point in the film, but constant talking is annoying. They are obviously not watching the film, so why don't they just leave and kiss with each other in a bedroom or something. I hate it when people kiss really loudly, yes we cannot see you but we can here your wet kisses, please stop it.

That's where security guards come in. Luckily not yet in my case, but if that happens to me, i would 1st remind them that they are in a cinema house not in a park but if still they continue the smooching i would surely call the guards. I would not tolerate some spoiled lovers to ruin the whole essence of a film. hehe have a great day ahead! and merry lotting!

if i meet with the scene, I will pretend to see nothing. It's their private, why show in public ? Is it their willing that declare how deeply they love for others?
