Movie Mouthpieces

I honestly cannot understand how people are still talking during movies. It's been around forever obviously but used to be every third or fourth movie you'd bother to see in theatres would have some asshole ruin about 10 minutes of it by talking or screwing around with their phone. Somehow it's gotten worse not better. Over the past year every single movie I've paid too much to see has had a MINIMUM of one person who talks throughout the entire duration of the film. Full houses on opening night, almost empty matinees and even artsy movies are simply spoken over as though the moron has no sense of being in a huge, dark box with a bunch of strangers who paid to be told a story. They instead seem to think they're watching a rerun of The Office on their phone while scrolling through Netflix on their television. Shut up. Shut your fucking mouth.

open mic events are the same, they all clap at the end but talk through the music instead of listening. its disheartening.

-Fucking-Men!!!

I just went to a movie where two fucking chowderheads stood in the middle of the fucking screen for three minutes trying to figure out where to sit. Here's a thought....You're late!!!! Sit your bony asses down and watch the fucking movie from wherever the fuck you aren't in the way!!!! What the fuck is wrong with people these days? Stay home if you don't know how to be polite and not in people's way!

I ALWAYS tell them to please be quiet one leave. Why don't you?

I whole heartedly agree. I can not stand talking in movie theatres. If it lasts longer than 30 seconds, I promptly say loudly enough for them to hear, "SSSSHHHH!", or plainly, "STOP TALKING". I paid at least $50 to be there, ticket, snacks, gas and parking included for me and my movie partner. I have no trouble telling people to shut up during a movie. It's a communal experience and I'm not letting one person ruin the atmosphere by being so ignorant.

Check your privilege. Not everyone is in a position to feel safe speaking up. I've seen things go down bad. You never know who will snap back in a scary way, esp. if it's happened to you before.

I'd say this goes for any sort of theatre venue. I took my mother to The Nutcracker a few years ago, paid to get her the best seats, and the apes in front of us (who had gotten comped tickets) yapped for 15 minutes before I leaned over and told them to knock it off, they were being incredibly rude.
Chatters need to stay home on their couches.
