Chris Stuckmann gives you his thoughts on the texters, talkers, seat-kickers, throwers and all-around annoying idiots in the movie theaters these days.
@Lord Inquisitor Shadowlord No, TLTOC was the drama epic directed by Martin Scorcese that portrayed Jesus as being tempted by Satan. Nothing gay about it tho.
I spent 6 years as a movie theatre manager and I was the manager you want. I evicted people numerous times from my theatres - for loud talking, disruptive behaviour, and occasionally drinking alcohol. I love movies and I want my customers to have a good time and love movies too. You started enforcing behaviour and the bad seeds stop coming to the theatre.
i agree how annoying all sorts of noise is but alcohol is fine as long as one stays quiet while consuming it. i hate when people demonise alcohol without a reason.
The worst/best theater experience happened when Maleficent 2 came out. I had no interest in it, but my dad really wanted to watch it with me for some reason, so off we went to the AMC. We sit down in some nice seats and I'm looking forward to this long overdue father daughter time, but then a group of loud teenage boys sit down in the row behind us. They won't shut up. They talk at full volume throughout the trailers, snickering and throwing food at each other, letting their giant slushies roll under our seats n shit. Other people are getting annoyed too, so me and my dad turn and glare at them for a good 10 seconds, and we think they're gonna be quiet now. 5 minutes later, they start laughing and yapping again. I'm about to say something, that is until my dad spins around and yells, "what the FUCK is the matter with you? SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP." Needless to say, those douches didn't make a sound for the rest of the movie. A Disney movie, I might add, during which my father told a bunch of kids to shut the fuck up. One of my favorite dad moments lol
Saw Avengers Endgame by myself. Suddenly, I hear a phone ring. Guy sitting beside me answers his phone and starts yammering away. Despite my frustration, I politely ask him to turn off his phone. He apologizes, ends the conversation, turns off his phone and apologizes again. There's hope for the world yet, perhaps.
That is a good ending to a situation I would hate, and I have to admit I probably wouldn't have said anything - I'm not very confrontational. What I just will never understand is how that guy thought it was okay to just answer the phone like that. He actually requires a complete stranger to tell him what to do in order to learn how to behave around others.
When I went to see Avengers endgame, some guy behind me was on his phone, I didn't have to say anything cause a person that was behind the man in his phone got the owner of the theater and the owner yelled at him for being on his phone. He was silent for the rest of the movie.
Went to watch Incredibles 2, there was a small child and her mother in front of me who started crying over some trivial detail, so the mother let her watch Peppa Pig on her phone. On what seemed to be full brightness. With the sound on loud enough so a decent amount of people could hear it over the movie
....youre. freaking. kidding. Wow...just, wow! My dude, I am sorry for you. I would've threw that mom and her child out! The mom was probably a freaking Karen.
TheLonelySpider my ex didn't that when I took her to start wars TFA I had already seen the movie but I could tell the people around us were getting annoyed
As a employee of a movie theater, i can confirm, the movies have troubles on the regular. I have seen many customer fights, and confrontations. Sometimes in the middle of the movie like what Chris is talking about.
Worst types of people. Always unprepared and gets the worst seats. Crying babies. Children wanting to talk to their parents when they are told to shut up. Tall people People who make so much noise just to eat popcorn Chips Smelly people Group of people talking Super loud laughers Going to the restroom at the best part. Screaming especially during movies like Endgame. People who go on their phone People who sneeze and cough constantly Seat kickers keeps on whispering to you when they think something is funny or bored
To ‘General Grievous’ The polite/right thing to do if you have an “uncontrollable” cough is to quietly excuse yourself from the theater. No one else wants to be exposed to your germs and your lung butter. Or, those with a chronic cough should simply stay at home. Why would anyone think it’s ok to disrupt everyone else’s movie experience they paid good money for?
Middle Initial: G i've never seen a movie in the theaters as an adult with my mom. Mainly it would a waste of money; she'll just fall asleep like every movie.

When I went to watch the Woman In Black a bunch of teenage girls were talking and being anoying all they way through, well until someone stood up and shouts SHUT THE F**K UP! They walked out crying while people were laughing at them 😂
When I was younger I used to love the individualistic culture of america. As I get older the cons become more apparent. We could use a bit more of the collectivist perspective. A better mix 😓
I went to watch Black Panther with my family in a local cinema. The screening was nearly full. As the film progressed, there were a group of kids (probably 12-13 year olds) and they were literally shouting out jokes about the film and even gave away the biggest spoiler of the film. Thank christ this was my second viewing. It was almost taking the piss because of how loud they were. Eventually they got kicked out.
So I took my buddy to see rouge one, I had seen it the day before. A group walk in and sit 4 rows in front of us, they all have drinks from the bar, two of the people from the group just wont be quiet. About a half hour in and three trips to the bar the guy and the girl have literally talked about the current scene and every time they one would get drinks the other would fill them in with what happened while they were gone, Loudly! So at a point I knew would disrupt the movie the least I let her know that they where ruining the film for everyone, she got up came back to me a yelled in my face saying her boyfriend would f.... me up. The family behind us goes then your boyfriend better be able to f.... them up to because we where sick of it. It was great they left in shame, and the best part was that the group they came with thanked me for confronting them "they do it all the time" one guy said. Also the audience applauded as they couple left.
I went to the theaters once and there was this couple that kept talking during the first 15 minutes of the movie. I respectfully asked them if they could be quiet, and they apologized and didn’t talk for the rest of the movie. IT WAS THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD LIKE AGHHHH
I once politely asked a couple to stop talking at a movie. The boyfriend laughed, turned to his girl and mimicked me. They both laughed. I'm a big guy (but a nice person, I think). Their response to my near plea was the last straw. I stood up, walked over to where they were sitting and stood over the boyfriend. I smiled, leaned over him and whispered, "I'll see YOU, after the movie," then calmly returned to my seat. Less than a minute later they left. It was a risk, but I had to take it. My last nerve was shot.
I remember seeing "The Artist" in theaters. There was an older couple a few rows behind me. It is a mostly silent movie, so there are dialogue cards that come up every time a character speaks. Every time a dialogue card came up on screen, he whispered the words into his wife's ear, as if she couldn't read.
My worst experience was similar to the one you described with the lumberjacks. I waited a year for Papillon (2018) to come to the theatre which locally was a limited screening. I went to a 10:30 pm showing alone and there was one couple in the theatre. As the movie started a bunch of teenage girls sat in the back row giggling laughing and talking during a serious tone sequence of the film. I had enough and said “not today!” Went back there and with a raised voice said I have been waiting a VERY long time to see this film. I can hear you from the front of the theatre! Can you please be quiet! Not another word after that but they were gone by the end of the film. A rare victory!
I was watching "War of the Planet of the Apes" the other day and there were these two really annoying teenage girls talking really loudly and just laughing during tense moments of the movie. I mean, we were right back of the theatre and they were right at the front, but it felt like they were screaming in my ear. I was getting ready to get up ask the to be quiet, when I heard this booming voice behind me go, "SHUT THE FUCK UP", and I just smiled to myself. The girls didn't make a noise for the rest of the movie and at end I personally thanked the guy, who turned out to be quite a bit younger than me. The guy literally made my week.
Speaking of War for the Planet of the Apes when I first saw it in theaters on Wednesday while AMC was doing their movie marathon for old movies to play along with the new movie and before War started I had a few movie goers sitting right next to me they were speaking quietly they didn't cause any major problems in the theaters but one of them discuss the ending before the movie ever started yes someone right next to me spoiled the ending for me. I'm not going to tell how the movie ended if anyone didn't see it since I respect anyone who wants to see a movie for the movie going experience and War is a damn good movie but I was disappointed that someone was speaking about the ending since I was so excited to see it without watching any trailers and someone had to ruin the ending for me. Thankfully the audience was quiet and respectful while watching the film even the people sitting right next to me were quiet but man they ruin the ending for me and I didn't do anything about it since I'm always quiet and respect for audience members who want to see a movie.
+Jacob_ M_G I would laugh if you two just became friends after that and now you meet up every day for lunch and sometimes go to each other's houses to play video games
I come back to this video every time I have a bad theater experience. A couple week's ago I had an awful experience watching The Batman and today I had the worst theater experience I've ever had watching X.
People describing every single scene are not only annoying, but completely unnecessary, since it's the movie's job to describe what's happening on screen.
I experienced that, when i watched Lion King 2019, this old lady kept spoiling some plot of the movie or what would happen next. (I haven't watch the original until now). the movie left me bored. I'm really disappointed. 😕
Great rant! The level of selfishness from those kinds of people is appalling. My worst/most satisfying experience comes from watching a group of teens get what they deserved after they took turns launching popcorn at different people scattered throughout our theater. This launching of popcorn went on for what seemed like half of the bag. Eventually they aimed at a couple near the front row. One of those ass clowns managed a direct hit on the boyfriend's dome. This man immediately took off his coat and turned around. He scanned the theater for the potential attackers. After a few seconds of unclear staring I slowly extended my arm up and pointed my finger towards the group behind me and to the left. The boyfriend gave me an appreciative nod and made his ascent. All 5 or 6 of said ass clowns immediately got up out of their seat and ran down the opposite stairs and out the emergency exit door. The icing on the cake came was when I noticed the boyfriend coming back down toward his seat chowing down on the half empty bag of popcorn. Victory.
These kind of things happen to me all the time. One time I went full-on George Costanza, people started clapping, just like in Seinfeld, and then the guy gets up and he was like "the tallest skinhead I've ever seen". He asked me "What have you just said?", and I told him, of course, "Nothing, I didn'nt said anything. Did I say something?" and he went away. But for some reason he become silent for the rest of the movie,and that was good.
Same. I'm scared of making sounds with my mouth, but the sad thing is it's not because I respect the audience, but simply because I don't want people hearing me munching. It feels awkward for me.
You know what drives me crazy? Misophonia. "Ugh, can you stop breathing so loud!" Sure, I'll just go over here and die so your precious ears aren't assaulted.
lol. The times we live in. The only worse then someone screaming something racist is happening which it isn't, is women whom thinks they can say and do whatever they want because their pregnant. Which are the only two words mentioned when someone of authority comes over
I'm so glad I wasn't there. Pouring a drink on me would be the end of that person. Chris needs to bring taser with him. Electrocute the first person to make a peep. Pregnant women and Lumberjacks
My bad annoying idiot experience: Went with my best friend to go watch Avengers End Game the day after it was released in theaters (Since in Australia, movies normally release on Thursday). Mind you, I had been at work all day, getting through a very slow work day getting excited to watch a movie that I've have been waiting 11 years to see since the original Iron Man. So I finish work at 5:30pm, go to pick up my mate from his place, and at about 6:30pm, we're sitting in the theater in a Gold Class theater, getting pumped to watch it. Most of the people in that room are massive Marvel fans I assume, as we were able to watch most of the movie in peace. But. When the final battle happens... There's one guy behind me and my friend who gets a phone call, answers, and after a minute screams out "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN IRON MAN USES THE GAUNTLET TO KILL THANOS!!!!" Oh man... The *entire* movie theater exploded in outrage over this. Me and my friend get up and throw our drinks and food at this asshole, screaming in rage over how this movie was ruined for us now. This man literally experienced the equivalent of Cersei doing her walk of shame, with people screaming at him, throwing drinks and food as he ran out of the theater. And because we ALL made a complaint, we all got a refund for our tickets, food, and beverages, AND we got a free gold class ticket to a movie of our choice that could be redeemed within a year's time. But to this day... That man has my eternal hatred for ruining an event that I waited 11 years to see. Fuck that guy, I hope he burns in hell.
2:57 I watched 12 Angry Men with my Grandma a couple months ago. She did that. "Oh, Henry Fonda, oh is this that person, oh is that this person?" Aggressively I paused the movie and read the actors off of the case. She said "never mind" but I said: "No! You're not doing this for 90 minutes!" It's one of the best movies with one of my worst experiences. I should see it again alone.
I work at an Amc and one time a man came out of Baby Driver and complained about a couple teens who were ruining the film for him. So I went into the theater and politely asked them to stop talking and then walked down the hall towards the door where they couldn’t see me. Maybe a minute passed by and the teens started talking as loud as humanly possible and so I walked back up and gave them their last warning. Another minute passed by and somehow they got even louder. I told them to grab their stuff and leave and of course they didn’t like that. I walked them out of the theater and this one kid pulls down his pants and moons me. Then his friend takes the skittles he had in his hands and throws a handful at me. They then flip me off and run out of the theater. I really contemplated quitting that day. Obnoxious customers are not only the worst for the people in the theater but it also makes our job more difficult as well.
Soooo glad I don't manage movie theaters anymore. That was my every day experience for 2.5 years. Now, I just sit in my nice quiet booth and start movies all day.
I saw “A Quiet Place” a couple of months ago. The whole idea of the movie is that nobody talks so it creates a lot of silence during the movie... well some group of teenage girls couldn’t handle the silence and were non stop hysterically laughing and screaming at every silent scene + semi scary situation. They were also kicking the back of my seat. It ruined the movie for me.
That is the reason I chose not to see "A Quiet Place" in the cinema. Mang teenage moviegoers often can't keep quiet and want a generic, gory, jump scare packed film (I refuse to call them horror) with nothing intelligent to it. Glad I chose not to. I'll instead wait.
I went to see 1917 a day after it was released everywhere. There was a woman a few rows in front of me whose phone went off twice during extremely important parts of the movie. Instead of silencing it she let the ringer go off on its own. But that wasn’t the bad part. There was a dude a few rows above me who yawned loud and obnoxiously over five times throughout the whole move. After the third time I shushed him I heard him laughing at me. I don’t know how I kept calm because I was on the verge of exploding with rage.
Had an experience when Watching The Rise of Skywalker sitting next to my younger sibling, who usually is pretty quiet during movies ( truthfully I never sit beside them often so I wouldn’t know what her true temperament was during movies). But basically what happened every 10 or 20 minutes is that she would ask me “What’s going on?” “Who’s that?” “What’s that Blow dryer droids name?” And *basically just questions that would be answered seconds later* and my calm responses were usually “Please just watch the movie.” Or “I’m trying to enjoy the movie so can you please be quiet.” I didn’t expect much silence but thankfully towards the end of the movie she was completely silent and respectful. I left the Theater with a smile on my face looking forward to what will come next from Star Wars.
I watched It last week. The adaptation of my favorite book and I've waited so long to finally see a great adaptation of Stephen King's masterpiece. And then there was a woman behind me who obviously had the job to explain the movie to her neighbor. Then I made a loud "shhhh" to them and they at least were talking less than before. Then a few rows before me a guy was playing with his phone during the whole movie. He was watching videos while sitting in a cinema theater! And then all these people coming in the theater after the movie has already started. I'm glad that in my hometown the interest for Blade Runner 2049 isn't that high. I actually hope it is as empty as possible! Thank you Chris! You're speaking out of my soul !
An experience that always sticks out was when I went to see The Return of the King; a couple people behind me apparently had never watched the first two movies, so their friend had to fill them in on each character and what was going on. I could understand their need for context, but after about half an hour I finally had to ask them to keep it down (after all, they should have watched the first two movies beforehand). Then they proceeded to yawn loudly the rest of the movie. I used to live in an area that had a large international population, and I learned that for many, it was simply culturally acceptable to talk during movies. At least in those cases they generally weren't loudmouths. For many ill-mannered moviegoers, the theater is essentially the same as renting a motel room for 2 hours, so it's all about THEIR freedoms, unconcerned they are infringing on OTHER PEOPLES' freedoms. Sometimes it's hard to gauge if someone is going to be a talker when they act that way during the previews. I want to do a preemptive hush, but generally I'll wait and see if they keep it down for the main attraction. I know someone that has a standing policy to as loudly as he can announce "SHUT THE F**K UP!"
Something similar happened to me when I saw the re release of Return of the King with my brother. This group of guys in probably their late 20’s sat at the far end of our row. Every now and then they would talk and laugh a little too loud (enough that I had to shush them) but not enough to outright ruin the movie. But then we got up to the ending. So the seats in the theater were these squeaky recliner ones and one of the guys adjusted their seat somewhere around when they started traveling to the Grey Havens. Then the squeaking kept going…as the guy then proceeded to start playing with the recliner on his seat to make his friends laugh. One of his friends then proceeded to do the same thing right when Frodo was saying his goodbyes, basically killing the moment. Come to find out later from my brother that the guys had snuck alcohol in and that’s why they were acting so childish. So yeah…these guys decided to go get drunk at a film screening (that only happens every couple years or so) for one of the top-rated films of all time. Bravo guys. Bravo. 😑
When I saw Avengers: Age of Ultron, some guy was next to me and he had his tablet on full brightness. He sat there through the whole movie. It was so bright it just annoyed the crap out of me. People just have no respect anymore. They just go into movie theaters to text or talk.
I don't understand we are in the golden age of superheroes movies but yet people talk,text and play on their devices like this is any shitty movie which it isn't and when enough time has past we want have these superheroes movies and our children are going to be so jealous going to try and relieve what we had by watching every movie on DVD or online just like when we did when our parents saw the classic 80's action movie that they loved.
I'll never forget the time I went to see Life for my brother's birthday in theaters. I'm not the type to typically watch horror movies, but this one seemed genuinely interesting to me, and I was willing to try and get over my nerves to go see it, and amazingly enough, I got sucked in and was really enjoying myself until my own freaking family, my wife included, turned into the exact type of moviegoers I despise. They were loudly reacting to every little thing and were the loudest group in the theater by a country mile, even during the quiet moments, and they completely sucked me out of the movie to the point where I was far more frustrated with them and unable to reinsert myself back into the atmosphere. When I tried to get them to quiet down a bit, they looked at me sideways and got so offended that they suggested I sit somewhere else. Needless to say, I don't see very many movies with my family nowadays.
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”
No it’s definitely gotten worse and it’s cause these assholes have gotten so used to just watching everything at home in private and their monkey brains don’t understand the difference when they’re seeing something in public with strangers
A person got mad during my showing and thought the sound was broken. He stormed out and complained to the manager. Not sure how it went down afterwards.
I still remember going to watch John Wick 3, weeks after the premiere, me and my friends were at the mid-section, aka best seats. Wouldn`t you know, after a couple of minutes of film, a baby starts crying at the back. You, as a parent, took your baby who is probably 3 years old, to watch John, fucking, Wick. Nice
My worst movie experience by far was when I watched frozen 2 with my brother and sister, the cinema was full and throughout the whole movie this person sitting next to me was laughing and talking out loud so 20 minutes in I told him to stop, he didn't luckily this was my second time watching the movie so I wasn't as bothered as I would have been, if this was the first watch. The worst part was the person making all this noise was my brother.
One time I went to see Endgame, which i had been waiting on ever since Infinity War. I sit down and throughout the movie these stupid edgy "I'm not like the other girls/boys" gang sit down near me and just start shitting on the movie like "Oh my god this movie is going to be so bad" and "Holy shit, did Black Widow just kill herself, what an idiot haha" I was FURIOUS. Endgame is amazing, go ask the box office. I was just so mad I got up and screamed at them "If you hate it so much, FUCK OFF." they looked at me with a single blink and remained quiet the entire time. The people in the cinema didn't complain or anything, we all just exchanged a "Thank you for that." look.
Endgame was ok lol. “Ask the box office” Michael Bay makes millions does that make him a great director? Is Taylor Swift the greatest musician? Don’t rely on the numbers, man
@@kindadecent9754 Look man, this was 2 years ago and I completely agree now. And my opinion on Endgame has changed, I was 16 when I wrote that so I thought it was the greatest movie of all time.
At this point, I want to ask audience members why they do that. Now, I love audience's reactions to movies..a group laugh, a sigh, jump scare, etc. I love that. But why do some people take it too far?
Claudio Torres Here's my story. I went to see Amazing Spider-Man 2 for the first time. There was a guy next to me with his phone on. He was texting, and the screen was so bright that it was causing a glare in my 3D glasses. I asked him to please turn his phone off, and he said to me, and I quote, "How about you shut yo' white ass mouth up 'fore I punch you in your shit!" When the movie ended, I "accidentally" stretched my foot out, and he tripped and tumbled over the rows below us. He had the misfortune of face-planting in a young girl's shirt, and I'm pretty sure his teeth snagged on her bra strap. Next thing I knew, I was comforting the trembling girl while the man was arrested. It was an interesting night.
Would've been interesting to see this being handled in a court of law if there was CCTV cameras in the corners of the ceiling that caught proof of the incidents you claimed to have occurred via surveillance footage. :)
Obviously parents are not teaching their kids how to behave in public. When I was a kid, we didn't dare disrupt a film at the theater. These kids (and their parents) are acting like they're entitled to do as they please. You'd think they owned the place!
i had a person who spoiled the entire movie for us by yelling out loud what happened before the movie began and the guy next to him punched him and they both got kicked out including the guy the punched him but he was allowed back in after and we all cheered him as a hero for punching the spoiler guy out. honestly had i been a few rows down i woulda punched him too
I don't go to the movies very often. When I do, it's usually a movie I have been anticipating and am really excited to see. When people are talking or whatever, it's so freaking annoying. I did once get a refund because of people who were doing exactly that. Just talking loudly and not caring about anyone else. The whole section on my side were pissed and subsequently left and got refunds. Just have some respect, people. Like seriously! And I would LOVE to come to your theater if you're ever able to create it!!
I went to watch M:I Rogue Nation with my two friends whom I've never watched a movie with before. I was so embarrassed because my friends kept talking loudly and commenting on every single thing that happened in the movie. Seriously I'm now reconsidering my friendship with them
As long as those friendships still hold value and worth to you, and as long as those friends are otherwise kind and respectful, I wouldn't end any friendships over this. Just tell them to shut the fuck up next time they do it (;
Oh i did, but they said something about freedom of speech in reply all the while making everyone in the movie theater uncomfortable. After that i can see how different we are
+Iris H Aw dude, don't do that. lol Don't know what you got until it's gone. Just a lesson in life: "Don't take these friends to the movies with you. lol"
That's a good idea, the only downside I see is the risk of hearing about reviews/spoilers for the movie. So basically there is always a possibility of a bad movie going experience, sadly.
i thought i had this plan. until tonight going to see IT. i was amazed this guy was a real guy... he literally said "DONT GO IN THERE".... numerous times....
@@bassinblue For $10 a month I get movies shipped to my house. Watch them on the big tv with surround sound and I don't have to put up with all this crap.
I feel seen after watching this video I try to go into the theatre to escape the world for a few hours and appreciate good films and complete selfish, ignorant losers ruin it for everyone My family doesn’t see it as a big deal when people speck over the movies so seeing this video makes me see that there’s a lot of people on the same page Just know your better and more smart than those people and thank you Chris for making this
A couple months ago I took my daughter to a movie. Two guys who came across as sort of socially awkward came in and sat une row in front and a few seats to the right of us. They were talking loudly through the previews, something that bothers me but not enough to say anything. After all, I can watch previews on my phone. But when the movie started, they didnt stop. I gave them about two minutes before I said (in an outdoor voice), "Fellas, no one paid to hear you narrate the movie." Not another peep.
donald stevens : Similar thing happened to me recently. I pulled out a large piano wire and managed to garrotte them both at once, in one, swift, silent motion. No one noticed until after the movie was over, and I ate their popcorn. Of course, this was all inside my head, but I enjoyed the fantasy almost as much as the movie. That’s how much the shear arrogance of these people gets to me ✌️
Me and a friend saw it and my friend has the biggest wheeze for a laugh, and during the whole James Corden fat cat song he was trying so hard not to laugh. Since we couldn't be loud made it funnier and I had to tell him to leave and laugh outside, while I am also trying not to laugh because his laugh is so infectious and also because of the fact I that could not believe what I was watching, so yeah, you aren't alone.
I normally expect silence during movies (and I am silent as well), but Cats was so fucking ridiculous that I let myself laugh and didn't mind other people talking.
Cats put me to sleep about 30 minutes in. At that point the horror passed and I had gotten used to what was on screen more or less so it just became ungodly boring
Sadly there has been a rise in the number of people who have somehow become so self-centred that they don't even acknowledge anyone outside of their immediate friends and family, I've often had to put up with people like this in numerous situations and it drives me mental. I remember a while back I had to take a train to go and meet up with one of my friends, and there was this mother and her loud child sat on the other end of the carriage. Now I get that taking care of a child isn't the easiest job on the planet, but this mother was sitting at the other end of the carriage and staring at her phone whilst her child was genuinely climbing over every seat in the carriage. Honestly the second I saw the kid heading in my direction I immediately switched to another carriage.
My worst experience was for Ghost in the Shell. I waited for that movie for so long and was so excited. Two people sitting down the row from me talked during the whole thing. I was so pissed that I had to go back and watch it a second time.
Screaming babies. Why do you have a BABY in the cinema?! The baby doesn't understand the movie! We have these amazing things called BABYSITTERS! They're great! They look after your baby so you get some free time!
I finally got a chance to see "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" with a good friend of mine last month. We went to a 4:00 showing, which is very late. At first, we thought we had the entire auditorium to ourselves and I was getting ready to enjoy the movie. Unfortunately, lo and behold, there were different families of kids; one of which was a mother, son, I'm guessing about seven or eight years old, and a baby. Another family came in with a toddler. Let me tell you; the minute I saw that mother carrying her baby up the stairs to find her and her son's seats, I knew I was in for a downright, terrible experience. "Jurassic World" had barely even started, and what does that baby do? Cry. I am not pulling your leg. Every fifteen minutes, that baby cried throughout the entire movie. It was so bad, I couldn't pay attention to the characters or dinosaurs on the screen. The mother had to take the infant out of the theater a couple times to calm it down, and that was distracting, too. What made it worse, was I could hear what was going on right behind us. I was extremely upset by the situation, at this point. On top of the baby, near the end of the movie, the toddler loudly says, "Look, the dinosaur's making a mess!" When the end credits started rolling, I cannot tell you how relieved I was to get the heck out of there. It put me in such a bad mood, I couldn't think straight. "Jurassic World" and "Jurassic Park," in general, is not some cutesy, talking and singing dinosaur film for babies and toddlers. Both of them are rated PG-13 for a good, dang reason. Babies and toddlers do NOT belong in a movie theater, at all.
Exactly. I understand why the older son wanted to see it, but if that baby was being fussy, the mother and son should have left. I was rightfully ticked off and wanted to ask my friend if we could leave, but I didn't.
I feel like disrespectful people in theatres is much more common in the USA. When I was there, I went to watch a few movies and I couldn't believe how people act during a movie. The commentary and loud reactions and constant talking dumbfounded me. In Australia, of course you get the odd person texting every now and then but never any real disregard for others that I experienced in America.
It's depends where you live in America, I live Greensboro, North Carolina, USA and people here are more respectful to the movie going experience, than Cleveland, Ohio, USA where Chris lives. I only had one bad movie going experience when my friend and I went to see Rise of The Sliver Surfer where parents and their kids came in, and those proceeded to scream thoughout half of the movie before finally shutting up.
I personally commentate. BUT I hate people doing it at a theater. It's disrespectful for the people who payed to watch it. In my home i will but not in public.
Max Volume - I can’t take the “questioner” movie friend. “Why’d he say that? What’s he doing? Why did she do that? What did she say? OMG, why are they doing that? What just happened?” 😂
When I was watching X Men Apocalypse this 50-something year old couple went on to seat beside me, obviosuly they werent interested in this comic book movie because they were kissing and munching and giggling and an hour in I just had to turn to them and say 'I think motel rooms are cheaper than movie tickets you know? So why you have to be disturbing my movie? Like honestly'
I work at a theater, and I agree with you. I don’t tolerate people being disruptive during showings. I have kicked DOZENS of people out of my theater. I regret none of it. As a lover of film and an aspiring filmmaker, I view it as my responsibility.
I have heard stories, but luckily have never experienced a nightmare like you have Chris. Here are my steps (it's not for everyone, of course) 1.) I hardly go anymore. Have not been to one in 4 years. 2.) If I do go, I go at the earliest time or the most isolated, far away cinema I can find. 3.) Looking at step #2, I wait until the very last minute - if too many people, especially teenagers and young kids start sitting around me - I'm out. The ticket counter for my refund. 4.) If I really, really want to see a movie, I will find the most upscale cinema. Price separates the rude assholes from people who want to have a great movie experience. 5.) This will only get worse. I do not like people anyway and I would rather wait and watch a movie at home with people I actually like.
I was watching Godzilla King of the Monsters. People clapped at the end of the film, I find that fine. When I went to see Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. A guy literally spoiled the ending for me because he was talking about it to his friend. He was talking loud too.
When I went to go see Frozen 2 the family behind us the woman kept on explaining the whole movie 🎥 to the little kids next to her and me and my mom told her politely to be quiet and we shushed her but she still didn’t listen so during the whole movie I did not hardly get to enjoy it because the woman was constantly talking and it was annoying also when fans don’t respect the movie and keep on talking loudly during the whole movie. It was disappointing. 😭
I stopped going to the theater for about 6 years because of inconsiderate twats. During this time, cell phones became a thing. I went to a movie for the first time in a long, long time.... then I stopped for another couple years after that. Two quick experiences. When I was about 15 (so the 80s), there were these two kids sitting in front of us, yapping and being annoying. I leaned in and said, "You wanna shut up?", and was met with a handful of popcorn and laughter. Their dad was sitting about 15 rows back, so they felt invincible. It kept up for another few minutes and I said, "Knock it off, or I"m kicking you in the head." One of the kids tossed a piece of popcorn back at me, so... I kicked him in the back of the head. He started crying, and they both got up and ran back to the dad. I looked back, expecting a shitstorm, but the dad went, "I told you, one day someone was going to hit you for acting out.. let's go.", grabbed the kid by the arm, and left the theater. When I saw Evil Dead (2013), for I think the 3rd time, there were these 3 asshats behind us, yapping about the stupid hockey game, checking phone updates every 2min. I didn't say a word. I just turned and stared at them. One guy goes, "What?" I just said, "Just making sure I know what you look like, so I don't run over the wrong people in the parking lot." One of the guys laughed and I slowly turned back towards the screen. They shut up (for the most part), and after the movie, they started to leave and I said to my friend, "Go warm the car up, I'll keep and eye on these guys." I've never seen 3 people run out of a theater faster. haha People are the WORST!!
At both these incidents. Yeah, those guys were being rude but you were being a bit too pushy. Physical assault is never okay if the other person didn't strike first. You'd be arrested if it happened now. And the second one, you didn't do anything but it seems like you have a bad temper.
I would have done the same. Luckily I have very rarely had a bad experience at the cinema. I am lucky to have morning shifts so I can see midday showings before everyone finishes work.
Went to joker on opening weekend, had a 4 year old scream like a banshee every time a murder happen on screen. Dude took his kid out of the theater 3 times because of how hard he was crying.
Who takes a 4 year old to see the The Joker in the first place? It's rated R. I'm sorry about your bad experience seeing the Joker. I also went the opening weekend to see the The Joker with my Dad and my experience wasn't nearly as bad as yours.
Theres nothing like an empty movie theatre. I usually wait a couple weeks before it releases. And go to the early bird screenings. Everyone's either really into it or just really old. Either way always a peaceful and enjoyable experience
Annoying Theater Experiences. 1. That Kid that kicks your seat... 2. Some baby cries during the movie... 3. People Laughing to much after the funny part is over... 4. loud people... 5. people on their mobile device during the movie...
Chris: yeh the fight, it was terribly shot and the lighting was all over the place and don't get me started on the pacing. Police: no the fight in the theatre.
@@ghostparty2062, Chris: I already told you. Oh, and let’s add the fact it was so clear it was the stunt doubles fighting, not the actors. Police: NO...the real fight in the theatre, not on the screen!
Surprisingly enough the best cinema experience I had was when I went to see the disaster artist. The audience participation was great. We all laughed and cheered at the same time
@@Devdraco Not really because everyone was having fun. It didn't ruin the actual movie at all, in fact it actually made it better. But yeah if that happened everytime I went to the cinema it would be extremely annoying
@@OfficerDok1996 If everyone knew each other? Cool. This instance? All I can hear is noise and cheering over sometimes-vital dialogue and as a result plot relevance is missed therefore tainting the experience.
Went and saw The Avengers when it came out in theatres. Some actual idiot brought her baby to the film. A literal baby. And this is The Avengers, in a theatre, where the explosions were hard for MY ears to handle. The baby was crying the. whole. time. It got to that point in the movie where Loki is making a bunch of civilians kneel and one old guy is like nah, and I realized in that moment that I had no idea what was going on because the baby had been so distracting its screaming had just filled my head. Like a second after realizing this, there was a quiet moment in the movie and my dad shouted out (we were in the front of the theatre and the woman and her baby were in the very back and I could STILL hear it as if it was beside me) "No one is enjoying this, ESPECIALLY not the baby. Take it outside for its sake as well as ours" The lady did NOT leave. Baby kept crying. In the next 20 minutes that followed other people took my dad's lead (the theatre was packed) and continued shouting out for the baby to be removed. No one was rude, just firm. She eventually got up and left and I realized I had a killer headache. It's my belief that if you're gonna have a baby, either you get a babysitter for it every time you want to go out, or you don't go out at all. You made the choice to have a kid, so deal with the fact that you won't be able to see public shows for 2-4 years.
The same thing happened to me when I went to see Transformers: The Last Knight, he started crying at the freaking beginning! But thankfully, he was quiet throughout the whole movie.
I remember when I was little there was a babysitting place in a theater close to my house which is honestly the best idea ever, but they took it off...why?
Like the scene in scary movie, I had a long term friendship, had never been to the cinema with him. When we finally made a movie meet up he turned out to be a loud narrator I was so annoyed and terribly embarrassed to be sat next to him had to constantly 🤫 him it didn’t work. It actually put a dent in our friendship. I get ya 🦋
I had that just tonight with M3GAN. It was a couple that brought their two little girls (that were probably like six), and they would NOT SHUT UP! They were kicking my seat behind me during the previews, and then they sat next to me, and during the opening scene, I could not hear anything that was going on in the movie because they were like “MOMMY?! WHERE’S DADDY?!” And then during the dog scene, they were like “the old lady’s looking for the dog, the little girl killed the dog!”, and at that point, I was done, so I gave up and walked out. I plan to try again and see the movie tomorrow, hopefully there won’t be any annoying little kids this time🤦♂️🤦♂️
The movie theater is the quickest way to remind myself how much I hate people.
I find driving in the city pretty efficient at that too.
Agreed
People in cinemas are so rude
Absolutely. I just saw Midsommar and gotta be honest there was this jabbering asshole I'd like to have the same fate as the male lead :)
Yup, all of social media is also a quick way for me to be reminded of how people are cunts.

My worst experience was The Passion of The Christ where we had people translating Hebrew throughout the movie even though it had subtitles.
My worst experience was The Last Temptation of Christ when a group of angry pseudo-Christians threw a molotov cocktail into the theater.

The kind of people who don’t like being told what to do.
Worst thing at a movie theater hands down: crying babies.
Gavin King
Taking your baby should be banned.
I'm not sure why theaters allow people with babies into R-rated movies. It always seemed odd to me. They should ban them completely.
Gavin King why would anyone bring a baby in the theatre in the first place? It's fucking dumb
But if someone complains we do something.

I spent 6 years as a movie theatre manager and I was the manager you want. I evicted people numerous times from my theatres - for loud talking, disruptive behaviour, and occasionally drinking alcohol. I love movies and I want my customers to have a good time and love movies too. You started enforcing behaviour and the bad seeds stop coming to the theatre.
your a damn national treasure
Love it!!
i agree how annoying all sorts of noise is but alcohol is fine as long as one stays quiet while consuming it. i hate when people demonise alcohol without a reason.
I wish you were at my viewing of Smile last year, good God
Not all heroes where capes or do you?
The worst/best theater experience happened when Maleficent 2 came out. I had no interest in it, but my dad really wanted to watch it with me for some reason, so off we went to the AMC. We sit down in some nice seats and I'm looking forward to this long overdue father daughter time, but then a group of loud teenage boys sit down in the row behind us.
They won't shut up. They talk at full volume throughout the trailers, snickering and throwing food at each other, letting their giant slushies roll under our seats n shit. Other people are getting annoyed too, so me and my dad turn and glare at them for a good 10 seconds, and we think they're gonna be quiet now. 5 minutes later, they start laughing and yapping again. I'm about to say something, that is until my dad spins around and yells, "what the FUCK is the matter with you? SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP."
Needless to say, those douches didn't make a sound for the rest of the movie. A Disney movie, I might add, during which my father told a bunch of kids to shut the fuck up. One of my favorite dad moments lol
Saw Avengers Endgame by myself. Suddenly, I hear a phone ring. Guy sitting beside me answers his phone and starts yammering away. Despite my frustration, I politely ask him to turn off his phone. He apologizes, ends the conversation, turns off his phone and apologizes again. There's hope for the world yet, perhaps.
That is a good ending to a situation I would hate, and I have to admit I probably wouldn't have said anything - I'm not very confrontational. What I just will never understand is how that guy thought it was okay to just answer the phone like that. He actually requires a complete stranger to tell him what to do in order to learn how to behave around others.
@Kolaxanthe You’d be surprised what the kindness of strangers can do to people.
christopher9000p and then the whole train clapped
When I went to see Avengers endgame, some guy behind me was on his phone, I didn't have to say anything cause a person that was behind the man in his phone got the owner of the theater and the owner yelled at him for being on his phone. He was silent for the rest of the movie.
Myself? Were you talking to a ghost?

The one he talked about in the video probably tried for baby with the grim reaper
"Oh, he switched seats!!!" I laughed out loud, completely commiserating with Chris! That is such a stupid situation to be in.
Went to watch Incredibles 2, there was a small child and her mother in front of me who started crying over some trivial detail, so the mother let her watch Peppa Pig on her phone. On what seemed to be full brightness. With the sound on loud enough so a decent amount of people could hear it over the movie
....youre. freaking. kidding. Wow...just, wow! My dude, I am sorry for you. I would've threw that mom and her child out! The mom was probably a freaking Karen.
I think this video needs a sequel.
It never will
It'll be worth the wait
payz hayz Right. These days it'll probably take at least two weeks.
I haven't had to deal with an annoying audience movie member in quite sometime
Sweet! Maybe the tide is turning and I don't know because I refuse to go? Entirely possible. If so, go enjoy it for me. : )
My mom asks a lot of questions during the movies, and it drives me nuts. "Who's that?" "What's going on?" "Is that Will Ferrell"? Sigh....
Like woman i havent seen this shit either
TheLonelySpider My dad does the same shit. Honestly, it's annoying
TheLonelySpider my ex didn't that when I took her to start wars TFA I had already seen the movie but I could tell the people around us were getting annoyed
If they'd stop asking and watch. They would know whats happening.
My freaking mom as well (love her to death, but i cant watch Star Wars with her anymore lol)
As a employee of a movie theater, i can confirm, the movies have troubles on the regular. I have seen many customer fights, and confrontations. Sometimes in the middle of the movie like what Chris is talking about.
Worst types of people.
Always unprepared and gets the worst seats.
Crying babies.
Children wanting to talk to their parents when they are told to shut up.
Tall people
People who make so much noise just to eat popcorn
Chips
Smelly people
Group of people talking
Super loud laughers
Going to the restroom at the best part.
Screaming especially during movies like Endgame.
People who go on their phone
People who sneeze and cough constantly
Seat kickers
keeps on whispering to you when they think something is funny or bored
People who sneeze and cough constantly? They have no control over that! **cough** **cough**
Yeah damn those people who can't control their own height
General Grievous lmao I get it
To ‘General Grievous’ The polite/right thing to do if you have an “uncontrollable” cough is to quietly excuse yourself from the theater. No one else wants to be exposed to your germs and your lung butter. Or, those with a chronic cough should simply stay at home. Why would anyone think it’s ok to disrupt everyone else’s movie experience they paid good money for?
When you say tall people we cant help that
this video still doesn't have enough views in my opinion
Yeah, and when I viewed it with my girlfriend she talked all the way through it!
Some people!

When I was younger I used to love the individualistic culture of america. As I get older the cons become more apparent. We could use a bit more of the collectivist perspective. A better mix 😓
Probably only going to get worse too. These shitheads kids are going to spawn bigger shitheads kids.
I went to watch Black Panther with my family in a local cinema. The screening was nearly full. As the film progressed, there were a group of kids (probably 12-13 year olds) and they were literally shouting out jokes about the film and even gave away the biggest spoiler of the film. Thank christ this was my second viewing. It was almost taking the piss because of how loud they were. Eventually they got kicked out.
Does anyone else just start to cold sweat when a small child sits down near you in the cinema? It can't just be me...

Why does the cinema even allow this? it's bad for buisness and they are in fact allowed to deny people just like any other buisness.

So I took my buddy to see rouge one, I had seen it the day before.
A group walk in and sit 4 rows in front of us, they all have drinks from the bar, two of the people from the group just wont be quiet.
About a half hour in and three trips to the bar the guy and the girl have literally talked about the current scene and every time they one would get drinks the other would fill them in with what happened while they were gone, Loudly!
So at a point I knew would disrupt the movie the least I let her know that they where ruining the film for everyone, she got up came back to me a yelled in my face saying her boyfriend would f.... me up.
The family behind us goes then your boyfriend better be able to f.... them up to because we where sick of it.
It was great they left in shame, and the best part was that the group they came with thanked me for confronting them "they do it all the time" one guy said.
Also the audience applauded as they couple left.
Faith in humanity restored
Mic.Drop. 👏
This is why im not a fan of bars at theaters or drinks there, i noticed ppl talk too much when they are drunk
I went to the theaters once and there was this couple that kept talking during the first 15 minutes of the movie. I respectfully asked them if they could be quiet, and they apologized and didn’t talk for the rest of the movie.

Sir can you please stop talking
I once politely asked a couple to stop talking at a movie. The boyfriend laughed, turned to his girl and mimicked me. They both laughed. I'm a big guy (but a nice person, I think). Their response to my near plea was the last straw. I stood up, walked over to where they were sitting and stood over the boyfriend. I smiled, leaned over him and whispered, "I'll see YOU, after the movie," then calmly returned to my seat. Less than a minute later they left. It was a risk, but I had to take it. My last nerve was shot.
That is fucking hilarious.

I don't get it.
I remember seeing "The Artist" in theaters. There was an older couple a few rows behind me. It is a mostly silent movie, so there are dialogue cards that come up every time a character speaks. Every time a dialogue card came up on screen, he whispered the words into his wife's ear, as if she couldn't read.
My worst experience was similar to the one you described with the lumberjacks. I waited a year for Papillon (2018) to come to the theatre which locally was a limited screening. I went to a 10:30 pm showing alone and there was one couple in the theatre. As the movie started a bunch of teenage girls sat in the back row giggling laughing and talking during a serious tone sequence of the film. I had enough and said “not today!” Went back there and with a raised voice said I have been waiting a VERY long time to see this film. I can hear you from the front of the theatre! Can you please be quiet! Not another word after that but they were gone by the end of the film. A rare victory!
I was watching "War of the Planet of the Apes" the other day and there were these two really annoying teenage girls talking really loudly and just laughing during tense moments of the movie. I mean, we were right back of the theatre and they were right at the front, but it felt like they were screaming in my ear. I was getting ready to get up ask the to be quiet, when I heard this booming voice behind me go, "SHUT THE FUCK UP", and I just smiled to myself. The girls didn't make a noise for the rest of the movie and at end I personally thanked the guy, who turned out to be quite a bit younger than me. The guy literally made my week.
Jacob_ M_G that guy is a legend
Speaking of War for the Planet of the Apes when I first saw it in theaters on Wednesday while AMC was doing their movie marathon for old movies to play along with the new movie and before War started I had a few movie goers sitting right next to me they were speaking quietly they didn't cause any major problems in the theaters but one of them discuss the ending before the movie ever started yes someone right next to me spoiled the ending for me. I'm not going to tell how the movie ended if anyone didn't see it since I respect anyone who wants to see a movie for the movie going experience and War is a damn good movie but I was disappointed that someone was speaking about the ending since I was so excited to see it without watching any trailers and someone had to ruin the ending for me. Thankfully the audience was quiet and respectful while watching the film even the people sitting right next to me were quiet but man they ruin the ending for me and I didn't do anything about it since I'm always quiet and respect for audience members who want to see a movie.
+Jacob_ M_G I would laugh if you two just became friends after that and now you meet up every day for lunch and sometimes go to each other's houses to play video games

Great rant! The level of selfishness from those kinds of people is appalling. My worst/most satisfying experience comes from watching a group of teens get what they deserved after they took turns launching popcorn at different people scattered throughout our theater. This launching of popcorn went on for what seemed like half of the bag. Eventually they aimed at a couple near the front row. One of those ass clowns managed a direct hit on the boyfriend's dome. This man immediately took off his coat and turned around. He scanned the theater for the potential attackers. After a few seconds of unclear staring I slowly extended my arm up and pointed my finger towards the group behind me and to the left. The boyfriend gave me an appreciative nod and made his ascent. All 5 or 6 of said ass clowns immediately got up out of their seat and ran down the opposite stairs and out the emergency exit door. The icing on the cake came was when I noticed the boyfriend coming back down toward his seat chowing down on the half empty bag of popcorn. Victory.
hell yeah that was awesome!

This is still relatable today. I went to see Mission Impossible 7 and heard some couple chatting right behind me THE ENTIRE FILM.
These kind of things happen to me all the time. One time I went full-on George Costanza, people started clapping, just like in Seinfeld, and then the guy gets up and he was like "the tallest skinhead I've ever seen". He asked me "What have you just said?", and I told him, of course, "Nothing, I didn'nt said anything. Did I say something?" and he went away. But for some reason he become silent for the rest of the movie,and that was good.

My bad annoying idiot experience:
Went with my best friend to go watch Avengers End Game the day after it was released in theaters (Since in Australia, movies normally release on Thursday). Mind you, I had been at work all day, getting through a very slow work day getting excited to watch a movie that I've have been waiting 11 years to see since the original Iron Man. So I finish work at 5:30pm, go to pick up my mate from his place, and at about 6:30pm, we're sitting in the theater in a Gold Class theater, getting pumped to watch it. Most of the people in that room are massive Marvel fans I assume, as we were able to watch most of the movie in peace.
But.
When the final battle happens... There's one guy behind me and my friend who gets a phone call, answers, and after a minute screams out "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN IRON MAN USES THE GAUNTLET TO KILL THANOS!!!!"
Oh man... The *entire* movie theater exploded in outrage over this. Me and my friend get up and throw our drinks and food at this asshole, screaming in rage over how this movie was ruined for us now. This man literally experienced the equivalent of Cersei doing her walk of shame, with people screaming at him, throwing drinks and food as he ran out of the theater. And because we ALL made a complaint, we all got a refund for our tickets, food, and beverages, AND we got a free gold class ticket to a movie of our choice that could be redeemed within a year's time.
But to this day... That man has my eternal hatred for ruining an event that I waited 11 years to see. Fuck that guy, I hope he burns in hell.
Hey! I found you in 2020!
He deserved it, didn't he?
Holy fucking shit man I’m so sorry that happened. That’s probably the worst experience anyone could possibly have ever in a cinema
Dude I feel immensely sorry for you. And yes, fuck that guy.
Well you didn't really wait 11 Years for Avengers Endgame now did you? Because no one knew about that movie 11 Years Ago
2:57 I watched 12 Angry Men with my Grandma a couple months ago. She did that. "Oh, Henry Fonda, oh is this that person, oh is that this person?" Aggressively I paused the movie and read the actors off of the case. She said "never mind" but I said: "No! You're not doing this for 90 minutes!"
It's one of the best movies with one of my worst experiences. I should see it again alone.
I work at an Amc and one time a man came out of Baby Driver and complained about a couple teens who were ruining the film for him. So I went into the theater and politely asked them to stop talking and then walked down the hall towards the door where they couldn’t see me. Maybe a minute passed by and the teens started talking as loud as humanly possible and so I walked back up and gave them their last warning. Another minute passed by and somehow they got even louder. I told them to grab their stuff and leave and of course they didn’t like that. I walked them out of the theater and this one kid pulls down his pants and moons me. Then his friend takes the skittles he had in his hands and throws a handful at me. They then flip me off and run out of the theater. I really contemplated quitting that day. Obnoxious customers are not only the worst for the people in the theater but it also makes our job more difficult as well.
That sucks man. And SCREW THOSE TEENS!!!!
Robert Kealiher yeah it wasn’t my best day 😂
Just bad parenting, some people just should have kids. Obnoxious kids stems from bad parenting.
Soooo glad I don't manage movie theaters anymore. That was my every day experience for 2.5 years. Now, I just sit in my nice quiet booth and start movies all day.
Ya I'm sorry dude
On the other hand baby driver was a great film and I feel bad for the people putting up with those asshole kids
I saw “A Quiet Place” a couple of months ago. The whole idea of the movie is that nobody talks so it creates a lot of silence during the movie... well some group of teenage girls couldn’t handle the silence and were non stop hysterically laughing and screaming at every silent scene + semi scary situation. They were also kicking the back of my seat. It ruined the movie for me.
Heizman thats why you sit at the very top
Stevendoesstuff or put them on their place.
Are u watching this in 2018?
That is the reason I chose not to see "A Quiet Place" in the cinema. Mang teenage moviegoers often can't keep quiet and want a generic, gory, jump scare packed film (I refuse to call them horror) with nothing intelligent to it.
Glad I chose not to. I'll instead wait.
Heizman I would have told them to shut up and I’m an 54 year old man.
I went to see 1917 a day after it was released everywhere. There was a woman a few rows in front of me whose phone went off twice during extremely important parts of the movie. Instead of silencing it she let the ringer go off on its own. But that wasn’t the bad part. There was a dude a few rows above me who yawned loud and obnoxiously over five times throughout the whole move. After the third time I shushed him I heard him laughing at me. I don’t know how I kept calm because I was on the verge of exploding with rage.
Had an experience when Watching The Rise of Skywalker sitting next to my younger sibling, who usually is pretty quiet during movies ( truthfully I never sit beside them often so I wouldn’t know what her true temperament was during movies).
But basically what happened every 10 or 20 minutes is that she would ask me “What’s going on?”
“Who’s that?”
“What’s that Blow dryer droids name?”
And *basically just questions that would be answered seconds later* and my calm responses were usually “Please just watch the movie.” Or
“I’m trying to enjoy the movie so can you please be quiet.”
I didn’t expect much silence but thankfully towards the end of the movie she was completely silent and respectful. I left the Theater with a smile on my face looking forward to what will come next from Star Wars.
Idk how people can do that. Man I get self conscious when I think I’m eating my nachos to loudly.
bro like when I grab my drink im afraid it too loud lmao
Dude, same. I get so nervous lol. Especially when I saw a quiet place I enjoyed the movie but was constantly trying to not make a sound.
I'm that way opening candy... like... do they have to make wrappers so loud? XD
Dude so true like if i have some candy im trying to get out and it even makes a crinkle im like oh shit
Even better idea is do not eat or drink during the movie, plus you'll save $$$, all that theater junk food is way overpriced
Some audience members in horror movies are the worst. Just yelling things as if the characters can hear them..
Kermit F Attention seekers make me fucking sick
That's why I almost never see horror movies in theaters.
I watched It last week. The adaptation of my favorite book and I've waited so long to finally see a great adaptation of Stephen King's masterpiece. And then there was a woman behind me who obviously had the job to explain the movie to her neighbor. Then I made a loud "shhhh" to them and they at least were talking less than before. Then a few rows before me a guy was playing with his phone during the whole movie. He was watching videos while sitting in a cinema theater! And then all these people coming in the theater after the movie has already started.
I'm glad that in my hometown the interest for Blade Runner 2049 isn't that high. I actually hope it is as empty as possible!
Thank you Chris! You're speaking out of my soul !
Omg I hate that
That's why I never watched horror movies in theaters. I'm loud as hell when I see them.
An experience that always sticks out was when I went to see The Return of the King; a couple people behind me apparently had never watched the first two movies, so their friend had to fill them in on each character and what was going on. I could understand their need for context, but after about half an hour I finally had to ask them to keep it down (after all, they should have watched the first two movies beforehand). Then they proceeded to yawn loudly the rest of the movie.
I used to live in an area that had a large international population, and I learned that for many, it was simply culturally acceptable to talk during movies. At least in those cases they generally weren't loudmouths.
For many ill-mannered moviegoers, the theater is essentially the same as renting a motel room for 2 hours, so it's all about THEIR freedoms, unconcerned they are infringing on OTHER PEOPLES' freedoms.
Sometimes it's hard to gauge if someone is going to be a talker when they act that way during the previews. I want to do a preemptive hush, but generally I'll wait and see if they keep it down for the main attraction.
I know someone that has a standing policy to as loudly as he can announce "SHUT THE F**K UP!"
Something similar happened to me when I saw the re release of Return of the King with my brother.
This group of guys in probably their late 20’s sat at the far end of our row. Every now and then they would talk and laugh a little too loud (enough that I had to shush them) but not enough to outright ruin the movie.
But then we got up to the ending.
So the seats in the theater were these squeaky recliner ones and one of the guys adjusted their seat somewhere around when they started traveling to the Grey Havens. Then the squeaking kept going…as the guy then proceeded to start playing with the recliner on his seat to make his friends laugh. One of his friends then proceeded to do the same thing right when Frodo was saying his goodbyes, basically killing the moment.
Come to find out later from my brother that the guys had snuck alcohol in and that’s why they were acting so childish. So yeah…these guys decided to go get drunk at a film screening (that only happens every couple years or so) for one of the top-rated films of all time. Bravo guys. Bravo. 😑
When I saw Captain America: Civil War, I had a child's birthday party sit in the entire row behind me.
I’m gonna guess they were talking the whole movie?
When I saw Avengers: Age of Ultron, some guy was next to me and he had his tablet on full brightness. He sat there through the whole movie. It was so bright it just annoyed the crap out of me. People just have no respect anymore. They just go into movie theaters to text or talk.
Exactly.
I can't believe this who would do that during Age of Ultron
I don't understand we are in the golden age of superheroes movies but yet people talk,text and play on their devices like this is any shitty movie which it isn't and when enough time has past we want have these superheroes movies and our children are going to be so jealous going to try and relieve what we had by watching every movie on DVD or online just like when we did when our parents saw the classic 80's action movie that they loved.
Lord of Kek I think u should have
+Alex Prado Happened during my premiere. Parents took a 3 year old sat at the back and gave him a tablet.
Also I hate when people say. "oh if I tell them to stop they'll keep doing it" it's your bloody job to get them to stop at least try
If I ever get told that, I’d tell them I’m gonna have a long talk with their manager if you don’t do your dam job
@@bennu547 ok karen
AnimatedMatter. That joke is getting really old
And if they dont stop, its their job to kick them out if they dont stop
Maybe we aren't all employees.
I'll never forget the time I went to see Life for my brother's birthday in theaters. I'm not the type to typically watch horror movies, but this one seemed genuinely interesting to me, and I was willing to try and get over my nerves to go see it, and amazingly enough, I got sucked in and was really enjoying myself until my own freaking family, my wife included, turned into the exact type of moviegoers I despise. They were loudly reacting to every little thing and were the loudest group in the theater by a country mile, even during the quiet moments, and they completely sucked me out of the movie to the point where I was far more frustrated with them and unable to reinsert myself back into the atmosphere. When I tried to get them to quiet down a bit, they looked at me sideways and got so offended that they suggested I sit somewhere else. Needless to say, I don't see very many movies with my family nowadays.
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”
No it’s definitely gotten worse and it’s cause these assholes have gotten so used to just watching everything at home in private and their monkey brains don’t understand the difference when they’re seeing something in public with strangers
I saw A Quiet Place on opening night and I was one of three people and it was dead silent, not body spoke, it was amazing
i heard you Crunching your popcorn
One of three people? Wow. No one gave a shit about A Quiet Place.
@@user-lynKx I went on opening Friday and it was only me and my party there and it was empty
A person got mad during my showing and thought the sound was broken. He stormed out and complained to the manager. Not sure how it went down afterwards.
So it was a literal Quiet Place?
I still remember going to watch John Wick 3, weeks after the premiere, me and my friends were at the mid-section, aka best seats.
Wouldn`t you know, after a couple of minutes of film, a baby starts crying at the back.
You, as a parent, took your baby who is probably 3 years old, to watch John, fucking, Wick.

My worst movie experience by far was when I watched frozen 2 with my brother and sister, the cinema was full and throughout the whole movie this person sitting next to me was laughing and talking out loud so 20 minutes in I told him to stop, he didn't luckily this was my second time watching the movie so I wasn't as bothered as I would have been, if this was the first watch. The worst part was the person making all this noise was my brother.
Lol
Best plot twist ever. 😂
One time I went to see Endgame, which i had been waiting on ever since Infinity War. I sit down and throughout the movie these stupid edgy "I'm not like the other girls/boys" gang sit down near me and just start shitting on the movie like "Oh my god this movie is going to be so bad" and "Holy shit, did Black Widow just kill herself, what an idiot haha" I was FURIOUS. Endgame is amazing, go ask the box office. I was just so mad I got up and screamed at them "If you hate it so much, FUCK OFF." they looked at me with a single blink and remained quiet the entire time. The people in the cinema didn't complain or anything, we all just exchanged a "Thank you for that." look.
Those edgy people are the *REAL* idiots! If they thought it was so bad, why did they even bother going in the first place. 😡
Endgame was ok lol. “Ask the box office” Michael Bay makes millions does that make him a great director? Is Taylor Swift the greatest musician? Don’t rely on the numbers, man
@@kindadecent9754 Look man, this was 2 years ago and I completely agree now. And my opinion on Endgame has changed, I was 16 when I wrote that so I thought it was the greatest movie of all time.

End game was dog shit just like the rest of the mcu
At this point, I want to ask audience members why they do that. Now, I love audience's reactions to movies..a group laugh, a sigh, jump scare, etc. I love that. But why do some people take it too far?
Claudio Torres Here's my story. I went to see Amazing Spider-Man 2 for the first time. There was a guy next to me with his phone on. He was texting, and the screen was so bright that it was causing a glare in my 3D glasses. I asked him to please turn his phone off, and he said to me, and I quote, "How about you shut yo' white ass mouth up 'fore I punch you in your shit!" When the movie ended, I "accidentally" stretched my foot out, and he tripped and tumbled over the rows below us. He had the misfortune of face-planting in a young girl's shirt, and I'm pretty sure his teeth snagged on her bra strap. Next thing I knew, I was comforting the trembling girl while the man was arrested.
It was an interesting night.

Obviously parents are not teaching their kids how to behave in public. When I was a kid, we didn't dare disrupt a film at the theater. These kids (and their parents) are acting like they're entitled to do as they please. You'd think they owned the place!
That clip from Seinfeld plays in the theater in my town before every movie.
That is amazing
Valiare The Forsaken That's awesome where do you live and what's the name of the theater?
Johny Zimmerman I live in a town called Alvin. It's about 45 minutes south of Houston, Texas. The theater is called Wellbourne Cinema Four.
Valiare The Forsaken Does it work?
I can't say for every single movie viewing but I've never noticed anyone talking or otherwise disrupting my movie-going experiences.
i had a person who spoiled the entire movie for us by yelling out loud what happened before the movie began and the guy next to him punched him and they both got kicked out including the guy the punched him but he was allowed back in after and we all cheered him as a hero for punching the spoiler guy out. honestly had i been a few rows down i woulda punched him too
I don't go to the movies very often. When I do, it's usually a movie I have been anticipating and am really excited to see. When people are talking or whatever, it's so freaking annoying. I did once get a refund because of people who were doing exactly that. Just talking loudly and not caring about anyone else. The whole section on my side were pissed and subsequently left and got refunds. Just have some respect, people. Like seriously! And I would LOVE to come to your theater if you're ever able to create it!!
I went to watch M:I Rogue Nation with my two friends whom I've never watched a movie with before. I was so embarrassed because my friends kept talking loudly and commenting on every single thing that happened in the movie. Seriously I'm now reconsidering my friendship with them
As long as those friendships still hold value and worth to you, and as long as those friends are otherwise kind and respectful, I wouldn't end any friendships over this. Just tell them to shut the fuck up next time they do it (;
Oh i did, but they said something about freedom of speech in reply all the while making everyone in the movie theater uncomfortable. After that i can see how different we are
Iris H Damn... I know how you feel. Well, I guess my only advise to you is don't invite those friends to see movies.
+ZombieCinemaCentral oh yeah man me too in the same movie my aunt keeps yelling i wanna leave because of her kid THE WORST PART SHE WANTED TOO COME.
+Iris H Aw dude, don't do that. lol Don't know what you got until it's gone. Just a lesson in life:
"Don't take these friends to the movies with you. lol"
I always go to the movies a couple of weeks after the movie comes out and on a weekday so I won't have to deal with that nonsense.
That's a good idea, the only downside I see is the risk of hearing about reviews/spoilers for the movie. So basically there is always a possibility of a bad movie going experience, sadly.
SAME
i thought i had this plan. until tonight going to see IT.
i was amazed this guy was a real guy...
he literally said "DONT GO IN THERE"....
numerous times....
and also, the fact that when you wait 2 weeks you have smaller screens, crapiers theatres etc

Just know your better and more smart than those people and thank you Chris for making this
A couple months ago I took my daughter to a movie. Two guys who came across as sort of socially awkward came in and sat une row in front and a few seats to the right of us. They were talking loudly through the previews, something that bothers me but not enough to say anything. After all, I can watch previews on my phone. But when the movie started, they didnt stop. I gave them about two minutes before I said (in an outdoor voice), "Fellas, no one paid to hear you narrate the movie." Not another peep.
Lol that’s awesome. I’m glad it worked!
You, sir, is a badass
I'm stealing that one
You may just be my new hero. Good job.
donald stevens : Similar thing happened to me recently. I pulled out a large piano wire and managed to garrotte them both at once, in one, swift, silent motion. No one noticed until after the movie was over, and I ate their popcorn. Of course, this was all inside my head, but I enjoyed the fantasy almost as much as the movie. That’s how much the shear arrogance of these people gets to me ✌️
I apologize to the 3 other people during the screening of Cats who heard me burst out laughing during the hot air balloon scene
I don’t blame you
Me and a friend saw it and my friend has the biggest wheeze for a laugh, and during the whole James Corden fat cat song he was trying so hard not to laugh. Since we couldn't be loud made it funnier and I had to tell him to leave and laugh outside, while I am also trying not to laugh because his laugh is so infectious and also because of the fact I that could not believe what I was watching, so yeah, you aren't alone.
I normally expect silence during movies (and I am silent as well), but Cats was so fucking ridiculous that I let myself laugh and didn't mind other people talking.
You are hope.
Cats put me to sleep about 30 minutes in. At that point the horror passed and I had gotten used to what was on screen more or less so it just became ungodly boring
Sadly there has been a rise in the number of people who have somehow become so self-centred that they don't even acknowledge anyone outside of their immediate friends and family, I've often had to put up with people like this in numerous situations and it drives me mental.
I remember a while back I had to take a train to go and meet up with one of my friends, and there was this mother and her loud child sat on the other end of the carriage. Now I get that taking care of a child isn't the easiest job on the planet, but this mother was sitting at the other end of the carriage and staring at her phone whilst her child was genuinely climbing over every seat in the carriage. Honestly the second I saw the kid heading in my direction I immediately switched to another carriage.
My worst experience was for Ghost in the Shell. I waited for that movie for so long and was so excited. Two people sitting down the row from me talked during the whole thing. I was so pissed that I had to go back and watch it a second time.
IQ tests should be mandatory before going to a movie theatre.
Good good
Emperor Palpatine Yes indeed!

An iq test would result in sparse audiences for most all new super hero and comic book movies.
Josh Nonya Dumbest comment I've ever read. Guess your parents taught you how to be racially biased.

I finally got a chance to see "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" with a good friend of mine last month. We went to a 4:00 showing, which is very late. At first, we thought we had the entire auditorium to ourselves and I was getting ready to enjoy the movie. Unfortunately, lo and behold, there were different families of kids; one of which was a mother, son, I'm guessing about seven or eight years old, and a baby. Another family came in with a toddler. Let me tell you; the minute I saw that mother carrying her baby up the stairs to find her and her son's seats, I knew I was in for a downright, terrible experience.
"Jurassic World" had barely even started, and what does that baby do? Cry. I am not pulling your leg. Every fifteen minutes, that baby cried throughout the entire movie. It was so bad, I couldn't pay attention to the characters or dinosaurs on the screen. The mother had to take the infant out of the theater a couple times to calm it down, and that was distracting, too. What made it worse, was I could hear what was going on right behind us. I was extremely upset by the situation, at this point. On top of the baby, near the end of the movie, the toddler loudly says, "Look, the dinosaur's making a mess!" When the end credits started rolling, I cannot tell you how relieved I was to get the heck out of there. It put me in such a bad mood, I couldn't think straight. "Jurassic World" and "Jurassic Park," in general, is not some cutesy, talking and singing dinosaur film for babies and toddlers. Both of them are rated PG-13 for a good, dang reason.
Babies and toddlers do NOT belong in a movie theater, at all.
Too true. Especially with the new World movies. There's a lot more blood nowadays when someone gets eaten.
Exactly. I understand why the older son wanted to see it, but if that baby was being fussy, the mother and son should have left. I was rightfully ticked off and wanted to ask my friend if we could leave, but I didn't.
I freakin hate when that happens!
Precisely.
the pregnant girl - so glad to hear people like that are reproducing.
Hernie Badlautner that kid is probably a seat kicker in every theater they go to
probably fucking junkies
She probably has had multiple abortions so dont worry

I feel like disrespectful people in theatres is much more common in the USA. When I was there, I went to watch a few movies and I couldn't believe how people act during a movie. The commentary and loud reactions and constant talking dumbfounded me. In Australia, of course you get the odd person texting every now and then but never any real disregard for others that I experienced in America.
It's depends where you live in America, I live Greensboro, North Carolina, USA and people here are more respectful to the movie going experience, than Cleveland, Ohio, USA where Chris lives. I only had one bad movie going experience when my friend and I went to see Rise of The Sliver Surfer where parents and their kids came in, and those proceeded to scream thoughout half of the movie before finally shutting up.
It’s everywhere
I hate it here
You think??
Come on over to a theater here in New Delhi, you'll have an out-of-body experience mate lmao.
Lawrence, Kansas here. Much more respectful than the ones in New York and Los Angeles I went to
The worst is when you go to see a movie with someone who is a "commentator" but you don't know it beforehand
I personally commentate. BUT I hate people doing it at a theater. It's disrespectful for the people who payed to watch it. In my home i will but not in public.
One of my friends kept asking questions and it’s like just watch and you’ll get your answer to them.

I work at a theater, and I agree with you. I don’t tolerate people being disruptive during showings. I have kicked DOZENS of people out of my theater. I regret none of it. As a lover of film and an aspiring filmmaker, I view it as my responsibility.
I have heard stories, but luckily have never experienced a nightmare like you have Chris. Here are my steps (it's not for everyone, of course)
1.) I hardly go anymore. Have not been to one in 4 years.
2.) If I do go, I go at the earliest time or the most isolated, far away cinema I can find.
3.) Looking at step #2, I wait until the very last minute - if too many people, especially teenagers and young kids start sitting around me - I'm out. The ticket counter for my refund.
4.) If I really, really want to see a movie, I will find the most upscale cinema. Price separates the rude assholes from people who want to have a great movie experience.
5.) This will only get worse. I do not like people anyway and I would rather wait and watch a movie at home with people I actually like.
When the cat fight started, I would've just rotated 45 degrees with my popcorn

Now that's what i call 3d movie
I was watching Godzilla King of the Monsters. People clapped at the end of the film, I find that fine.
When I went to see Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. A guy literally spoiled the ending for me because he was talking about it to his friend. He was talking loud too.
When I went to go see Frozen 2 the family behind us the woman kept on explaining the whole movie 🎥 to the little kids next to her and me and my mom told her politely to be quiet and we shushed her but she still didn’t listen so during the whole movie I did not hardly get to enjoy it because the woman was constantly talking and it was annoying also when fans don’t respect the movie and keep on talking loudly during the whole movie. It was disappointing. 😭
I stopped going to the theater for about 6 years because of inconsiderate twats. During this time, cell phones became a thing. I went to a movie for the first time in a long, long time.... then I stopped for another couple years after that.
Two quick experiences. When I was about 15 (so the 80s), there were these two kids sitting in front of us, yapping and being annoying. I leaned in and said, "You wanna shut up?", and was met with a handful of popcorn and laughter. Their dad was sitting about 15 rows back, so they felt invincible. It kept up for another few minutes and I said, "Knock it off, or I"m kicking you in the head." One of the kids tossed a piece of popcorn back at me, so... I kicked him in the back of the head. He started crying, and they both got up and ran back to the dad. I looked back, expecting a shitstorm, but the dad went, "I told you, one day someone was going to hit you for acting out.. let's go.", grabbed the kid by the arm, and left the theater.
When I saw Evil Dead (2013), for I think the 3rd time, there were these 3 asshats behind us, yapping about the stupid hockey game, checking phone updates every 2min. I didn't say a word. I just turned and stared at them. One guy goes, "What?" I just said, "Just making sure I know what you look like, so I don't run over the wrong people in the parking lot." One of the guys laughed and I slowly turned back towards the screen. They shut up (for the most part), and after the movie, they started to leave and I said to my friend, "Go warm the car up, I'll keep and eye on these guys." I've never seen 3 people run out of a theater faster. haha
People are the WORST!!
Zed Chuva lmao that's actually of funny the last story
At both these incidents. Yeah, those guys were being rude but you were being a bit too pushy. Physical assault is never okay if the other person didn't strike first. You'd be arrested if it happened now. And the second one, you didn't do anything but it seems like you have a bad temper.
I would have done the same. Luckily I have very rarely had a bad experience at the cinema. I am lucky to have morning shifts so I can see midday showings before everyone finishes work.
But come to mention it. I did have one experience where kids kept throwing pop corn at me and laughing very loud.
I like the cut of your jib Zeb, I'll have to remember that parking lot statement 8)
I went to a movie with my friend from work (we are lumberjacks) and some mad man went crazy on us!
Why?
"We are lumberjacks" lmao
@@-yourandyoureare2different612 he's joking lol he's saying that they're the lumberjacks from Chris's story
@ I love Chris but he'd get destroyed lol by 2 big ass lumberjacks.
I think some of you guys completely missed the joke lol
Went to joker on opening weekend, had a 4 year old scream like a banshee every time a murder happen on screen. Dude took his kid out of the theater 3 times because of how hard he was crying.
Who takes a 4 year old to see the The Joker in the first place? It's rated R. I'm sorry about your bad experience seeing the Joker. I also went the opening weekend to see the The Joker with my Dad and my experience wasn't nearly as bad as yours.
"The movie's rated R? Better bring my child to watch it!"
-That dude probably
Theres nothing like an empty movie theatre. I usually wait a couple weeks before it releases. And go to the early bird screenings. Everyone's either really into it or just really old. Either way always a peaceful and enjoyable experience
Annoying Theater Experiences.
1. That Kid that kicks your seat...
2. Some baby cries during the movie...
3. People Laughing to much after the funny part is over...
4. loud people...
5. people on their mobile device during the movie...
Agreed bro. Although in terms of how you place the list depends on the person
true
I personanaly think all children under say 8 shouldn't be allowed in movie thearters as they just cant conduct themselves properly
+jebus crist agreed
Oh lord...the baby crying....
Police: so what did you see at the movie can you describe it to us
Chris: a really shit movie
Police: no .... i meant the fight
Chris: yeh the fight, it was terribly shot and the lighting was all over the place and don't get me started on the pacing.
Police: no the fight in the theatre.
@@ghostparty2062,
Chris: I already told you. Oh, and let’s add the fact it was so clear it was the stunt doubles fighting, not the actors.
Police: NO...the real fight in the theatre, not on the screen!
@@joeyjerry1586 Chris: Exactly, Iron Man and Captain America were fighting each other
Police: I give up
Surprisingly enough the best cinema experience I had was when I went to see the disaster artist. The audience participation was great. We all laughed and cheered at the same time
That sounds genuinely irritating.
@@Devdraco Not really because everyone was having fun. It didn't ruin the actual movie at all, in fact it actually made it better. But yeah if that happened everytime I went to the cinema it would be extremely annoying
@@OfficerDok1996 If everyone knew each other? Cool.
This instance? All I can hear is noise and cheering over sometimes-vital dialogue and as a result plot relevance is missed therefore tainting the experience.
@@Devdraco You had to be there to get what I mean, it's that kind of movie.
Someone brought a baby into Deadpool and it cried the whoooole time
WHO TF BRINGS THEIR BABY TO DEADPOOL WTF-
@@PinkGoldAbby Some parents simply do not understand the reason for the R RATING!!!!
"Now this is when all hell breaks loose"
Ad
Chris why.
Lmao same
wow you got that too? lmfao
yup me too
Gotta build the anticipation, man.
That literally just happened to me
Went and saw The Avengers when it came out in theatres. Some actual idiot brought her baby to the film. A literal baby. And this is The Avengers, in a theatre, where the explosions were hard for MY ears to handle. The baby was crying the. whole. time. It got to that point in the movie where Loki is making a bunch of civilians kneel and one old guy is like nah, and I realized in that moment that I had no idea what was going on because the baby had been so distracting its screaming had just filled my head. Like a second after realizing this, there was a quiet moment in the movie and my dad shouted out (we were in the front of the theatre and the woman and her baby were in the very back and I could STILL hear it as if it was beside me) "No one is enjoying this, ESPECIALLY not the baby. Take it outside for its sake as well as ours" The lady did NOT leave. Baby kept crying. In the next 20 minutes that followed other people took my dad's lead (the theatre was packed) and continued shouting out for the baby to be removed. No one was rude, just firm. She eventually got up and left and I realized I had a killer headache.
It's my belief that if you're gonna have a baby, either you get a babysitter for it every time you want to go out, or you don't go out at all. You made the choice to have a kid, so deal with the fact that you won't be able to see public shows for 2-4 years.
The same thing happened to me when I went to see Transformers: The Last Knight, he started crying at the freaking beginning! But thankfully, he was quiet throughout the whole movie.
Hiatt Grey that baby made you a favor dude....
I have no intention to offend you and your taste, I was just making a joke, have a nice day 😀
I remember when I was little there was a babysitting place in a theater close to my house which is honestly the best idea ever, but they took it off...why?
That really is an awesome idea. I'd do it myself but I'm a scary beard monster and also I hate children
Alabean Same thing happened when I saw Divergent.
Like the scene in scary movie, I had a long term friendship, had never been to the cinema with him. When we finally made a movie meet up he turned out to be a loud narrator I was so annoyed and terribly embarrassed to be sat next to him had to constantly 🤫 him it didn’t work. It actually put a dent in our friendship. I get ya 🦋
I had that just tonight with M3GAN. It was a couple that brought their two little girls (that were probably like six), and they would NOT SHUT UP! They were kicking my seat behind me during the previews, and then they sat next to me, and during the opening scene, I could not hear anything that was going on in the movie because they were like “MOMMY?! WHERE’S DADDY?!” And then during the dog scene, they were like “the old lady’s looking for the dog, the little girl killed the dog!”, and at that point, I was done, so I gave up and walked out. I plan to try again and see the movie tomorrow, hopefully there won’t be any annoying little kids this time🤦♂️🤦♂️
