Does it bother you?
Do you do it?
What's your reaction? (Do you say anything?)



I don't mean just at the cinemas/theaters, but at home with family/friends.

Does it bother you? It depends. If someone is engaged in the movie intellectually and discussing it in such a manner, then not really. I rarely get so into a movie I can block others out, but if it is one of those rare movies, then I'll probably watch it by myself.

Do you do it? If the other people are ok with it and it's just a group of friends watching it, then yes. I'll make commentary or jokes about the movie. In a theater I would keep it at a whisper.

Reaction? If everyone is ok with it and I'm not into the movie then I'm fine with it. If I am in a theater and someone is being obnoxiously loud, then I do lose my temper if the person/s do not quit after being asked. Same rules apply to loud family members. I am a tad more lenient with friends.

Does it bother you? YES!! Unless the movie is so boring that you have to crack sarcastic jokes about it to entertain yourselves.
Do you do it? Not unless I'm bored out of my mind.
What's your reaction? (Do you say anything?)
Depends. If I'm engrossed, I usually *shush* people and wave them away.
If I don't like the movie, I'd probably be grateful for the distraction.

-Shepherd Derrial Book, "Firefly" (Our Miss Reynolds)

Unless you have the expressed, written permission of everyone in the audience, DO NOT TALK DURING THE MOVIE!

hahahah Serious pet peeve of mine... And do I say anything? HELL YES! This one gets me confrontational... ;)

Does it bother you?
Depends. If it's a movie I'm really into, then yes. I find it beyond irritating. If it's boring though... I'm grateful for the distraction.

Do you do it?
If I find it boring. ;)

What's your reaction? (Do you say anything?)
Usually there's one friend I always just act coldly towards if she does it... she gets the message. Mainly because she's obnoxiously loud all the time, something she thinks will win her the acceptance of everyone around her. People who I don't know, I normally give them the Look of Death every 5 seconds and wait for them to drop dead.

I don't mind people talking a little bit, but then again, this hasn't been such a big problem for me since most of the people I know that watch movies regularly aren't obnoxious.

Things that upset me:
Constantly asking me what is going on, what someone said or did.
Mocking a movie I like.
Spoilers.
Excessively loud.
Ruining a special moment.. ;-;

I just refuse to watch movies with people that do those things unless they are not the type to go overboard OR they have interesting ways of looking at the movie.

I will talk during movies sometimes, but I more often than not speak in short sentences when I do.

My responses?
If spoilers, walk out until people are done talking.
Loud, will try to ignore.
Ruining moments, will walk out. -_-
Mocking, will tolerate without complaining aloud, but I will try to give hints to my discomfort with body language.
Asking me what is happening over and over.. I will give up on watching the movie OR I will ignore them.

Spoilers and moment ruining are the worst.. mocking movies I like can come pretty close to crossing the line, but I deal with it.. :P

[Wellsy]

At theaters, no. Not at all, I dont go movies that often and not often has anyone been a bother either. I probably annoy some when im pissing myself laughing and my cackle booms through the place. At home its a maybe, sometimes its kind of fun to just pay out a movie. Me and dad sometimes enjoy horror and gore just to laugh at it, ho over the top the blood is and all.
But if its the first time im watching it, i probably intend on watching ti and if I talk its to ask some questions or whatever to get clarity on some things

[Oh_no_she_DIDNT]

Yeah.. I love talking during movies at home but being that I'm an INFPversion, I only talk if I know for sure my movie-watching-friends are talkers too or at least movie-talker-open. The default approach is to assume any new movie-watcher is anti-talking and to restrain myself and possibly burst on the inside. My talkativeness will vary with genre and quality. Some movies are so good they silence me. And some are so bad they silence me.

Hypocritical P.S.- When I went to see the second to last Harry Potter Movie (which I loved) this girl next to me was narrating the entire book to the girl next to her and it was beyond annoying because it was incessant.

and @Anemone The title will become "unbolded" after you view a thread. It will become bolded when someone posts something new you haven't read yet. Its helps you know what you've read and what you haven't that's been updated. :)
