How do you react towards people talking during a movie?

Question

I am that person 🤣

Well, I rarely watch movies alone. I don’t like feeling detached from reality through movies.

I do watch movies with people who want to watch movies with me, my brother, when I was in a relationship- my ex boyfriend, I think both of them loved me too much to ever get annoyed by my habit of being curious and a bit emotional during movies.

Both of them are great movie enthusiasts, my brother actually loves cracking jokes with me and we laugh at movies together. But sometimes he does give me that strict look and sign me to be quiet. Mainly it’s when It’s when I multitask during watching movies and instead of watching, ask him what happened 🤣

After all, I watch movies as a way to bond with them. If I was alone, I’d spend my time differently.

Of course, I never ask questions in cinema.

When I went to see A History of Violence, there were SEVERAL people in the theater who wouldn't shut up. Four or five times, I was on the verge of turning around and telling them to knock it off, but each time, they quieted down for a while just before I reached that point.

Interestingly, that was also the showing where I first saw a preview for Brokeback Mountain, and probably a quarter of the theater got up and walked out. Over a preview. I don't know if it's related, but it was the first time I went to that theater, and I've never gone back.

I hate that. I would tell them, politely, not to talk. If they keep it up after that, I'd tell them I'm getting management if they don't stop. If they continue after that, I would.

It depends on the movie.

In the context of a theater, if were watching the new starwars movie, I'll shut the hell up.

If it's something like one of the marvel movies where the story isn't captivating and it's obviously a very light hearted movie that's mostly there for the special effects, we'll be cracking jokes, talking about the plot holes and so on.

The one time maybe we took it a little too far we brought this kid with us who lit up a blunt in the middle of the Uncharted movie. I'm sure most of the people there didn't care but I was still like who tf brought this guy 😂

If it's super disruptive;

At home: I start hitting the pause button every time another question or comment comes up.

In the theater: If it's my family member, I'll give them the death stare and shape my lips as if I'm saying, "shhh!"

If it's someone else in the theater, I will ignore them unless I'm with my husband. If he's with me, we're leaving because he'll make a scene.

It's rare that I watch a movie in the theater. It has to be an action movie that I am confident will be free of wokeness - since COVID, I saw Top Gun Maverick twice and John Wick 4.

But I have a good home theater system at home, and my own media server, so I'm not missing anything of value by watching movies and shows at home. And the food is better and much cheaper.

Andres77 · Answer

If it’s my daughter and she’s asking questions about the movie, in the house we pause stuff constantly and explain everything possible. It’s a better experience if it’s better understood.

in the theater…it depends. About a month ago my daughter and I quietly whispered throughout the whole thing. It was a complex subject and things needed to be addressed.

buy some things are best enjoyed in quiet.
it depends.

it seems I’m CONSTANTLY teaching my daughters.

Mark my territory like a dog and maintain eye contact with them.

Sparkie460 · Answer

If it's a family member I tell them to shut up or leave the room and talk. If I'm in a movie theater and I paid to see the movie I will polity ask them to be quiet the first time. After that I get nastier each time afterwards

nolabels · Answer

I'd call my psychiatrist. I watch movies at home, alone. If I began hearing voices in the room with me, I guess I'd need help in some fashion. I've been OK so far.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

I don't like talking during a movie. I just like to watch and enjoy it, but I'll try not to pay mind to those who do a little bit of whispering.

TooHot2Care · Answer

"Shut the fuck up." "Who said that" *turns cellphone light on and they see a 6"2 yoked black guy* Only really stupid or drunk people are fun enough to double down.
