Chris Stuckmann once again shares some horror stories from his recent experiences at the movies. - Розваги
Bad experience? Ok. Picture this: I'm brazilian, but I watch movies in english (they have subtitles) and sometimes a child is in the theater and can't read the subtitles, let alone understand english. Guess what happens? The parent reads EVERY SINGLE LINE to the child. That is just... evil.
Oh my gosh, that's horrible... That's like next-level stuff right there. I legit feel bad for you.
I used to hate when Blanka did the Blanka roll and electric shock.
In my experience viewing subtitled movies here in Brazil, I'd never, never see something like that.
I mean, what the fuck? Why in the world bring iliterate kids into a subtitled movie?!
Diego Francisco da Silva Happened a few times. Usually the parent was distracted and bought a ticket for a section he thought was dubbed.
FNA, dude. I'm so sorry you have to experience this kind of shit.
My rule: Talk during commercials. Once the trailers start wrap it up and tone it down. Once the movie starts STFU.
MEOW idk, some of those trailers are pretty freaking great.... minus the Tyler perry nonsense 😂
And even then it should be about the trailersand getting drinks and snacks situated ooened and quiet lol
Exactly what my theater does.
I've actually found that the people who talk through trailers are also going to be annoying during the movie. I mean, they're free mini movies. Why would you shout over them?
there aint a better way to sum it up :>
This video's coming on four years old. We need a third one.
Josh Ravenhill I agree!!! I love his honesty.
These should be an annual tradition. Very therapeutic.
Josh Ravenhill maybe he’ll have a bad experience at the conjuring 3 then feel he has to make another one
And will be better than the new Star Wars trilogy.
Hahahahaha precisely
"ladies if i wanted an audio commentary I'd have bought the blu Ray" had me wheezing
Same
Boomer woman: “What’s a blu ray?”
🤦♂️
"If I wanted audio commentary, I would've bought the blu-Ray"
That shit is devastating.
I'm totally using this next time.
Oh, zing! I'm definitely going to make use of that. I don't know how people stand it for a whole movie. I report the people every time because I miss a few minutes getting a manager, but it's so much better after the person is escorted out, for the rest of the film! We cannot let them beat us!
The savagery
Abel Snowden I feel you man
100% of the time when you tell someone to be quiet, somehow YOU'RE the crazy person, always.
Exactly. This is kinda tangential because it wasn't at a movie theater, but I was at a Broadway play and the women in front of me wore their hair in an obnoxious style that blocked my vision, they were recording the play and taking selfies, and they talking the whole god damn time. I ask them to be quite, as I should, yet they get all rude and defensive as if I'm the problem. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. It's not that hard.
People just try to spin it that way out of embarrassment. Source: Was an annoying moviegoer in my teens.
@@thegrayghost1786 Honestly, at that point, I would've walked out and demanded my money back or a ticket valid at my earliest convenience. And, if they're launching into an argument about how you agreed to the rules and conditions by buying a ticket, put your foot down and tell them, you didn't agree to shit. You bought a ticket, expecting the best possible experience, and if some assholes lacking decency obstruct that experience for you, the contract agreed upon through the purchase of a ticket is null and void.
In that case, we might as well Embrace that and scream in their face.
@@thegrayghost1786 damn sorry you had to go through that bullshit
I remember I went to see Avengers Endgame, and there are these young "6th graders" talking, texting and walking in and out of the theater, for nearly the entire f*cking movie, but thankfully there was a older man who told them to shut up, and the kids don't give a shit...So he tells them "If you kids don't zip it I will throw you out the theater one by one" and then he sits next to them, for the rest of the movie, God bless that guy...
You were lucky that an older voice was there to spit wisdom.
@@thecollector427 I assume you had a similar experience, didn't you...
My dad was that guy , even told older high school kids to keep it down.
@@brian96_ High school kids? Geez, how imature can people be...
@@rufuslundh306 haha its ok , we all have our problems.
Chris, it’s been a while. We need a part 3.
part 3: RETRIBUTION TIME
Yeah, PART 3, PART 3, PART 3
This will be after COVID-19 is controlled by vaccines that when theaters reopen, people will talk like they’re hanging out with friends and act like children instead of enjoying the movie and ignoring the courtesy of the audience.
@Jose Barraza he's an awesome movie reviewer, why would he waste that talent to become yet another film director😣😣😣
I went on a date one time and the woman that said she loved talking during movies because it makes it so much more fun. There wasn't a second date.
Yeah, that sounds reasonable. Rudeness doesn't get a second chance.
That was a warning sign about her character. I would've done the same thing.
TBH I would understand why that would be a reason not to see her again considering I frequently go to the cinema
Good call.
Truth be told, if you've got a nice rapport and a good feeling of boundaries between each other, talking during certain movies at home does make it more fun sometimes. But with a huge asterisk -- not at the cinema.
Movie theaters should play that Seinfeld clip, nice and loud, after all the trailers are done.
No, they should play the movie theater scene from God Bless America where the killer kills all the obnoxious assholes and then tells their other friend “thank you for not using your phone, thank you for being courteous.”
yesssss
One of my theater's plays something like that from an old movie everytime before a movie starts
Trekkie Junk yasss
YES!
I know the perfect way to fix the problem. Make theatre chairs that are similar to massage chairs, so if someone starts talking through the movie, it will raise an uncomfortable bump on the back of their chair and light up a small display that says "if you want you chair to be comfortable again, stop talking". You only need mild discomfort to make them stop.
I think that's great!!!
A greater idea would be to make all chairs electric & fry those who disturb, at least it keeps them silent, permanently 😄
Then they’ll talk and stop over and over again so that they can get a nice massage on their back
Or just have claws that come out and strap them into their chair. Then a lava pit opens under them and they fall in. Done.
Viva Pavlov!
That sounds like a good idea.
This is why when movies come out in the theatre I don’t see the movie till about 3 or 4 weeks after the premiere because nobody is really there and it’s really quiet
We watched Knives Out (three weeks old, I think) last night, DURING THE DAY, and one woman next to us was just chatting it up with her friend.
Old people, young people, women, men, couples, hell, I've heard people laugh and talk to themselves! Everyone is awful and inconsiderate!!
I felt guilty for opening a loud can or my bag of snacks!
Renita I feel sorry for u in England 3 weeks after a movie comes out nobody’s there unless it’s a popular movie with great trailers
This is the same thing I do unfortunately in my country the last week of the movie they changed it from subtitled to doubled, so I always end up loosing in some way
Sometimes the lesser people there are the more inclined people are to talk
EXACTLY, I never see a new movie on opening weekends, especially if I know it’s going to be something popular like a Marvel movie, because I absolutely don’t want to encounter any idiots.
That one scene in Scary Movie where all the moviegoers all ganged up on Brenda and killed her because she wouldn't shut up was so satisfying to watch.
I loved that scene, it does annoy me in real life where people are even politely asked to be courteous and then they have developed this mentality where they know that if they are loud and give enough attitude that most people will back down because it is more than they wanted to deal with. When people tell me that white people for example don't hit their kids enough (which at least isn't true for me) I reply but did yours hit you for the right reasons.
JSB that’s what I think of when I think about annoying moviegoers lol
Spot on assessment my friend! The movie theater is my temple, its my escape and anyone who fucks with this should be destroyed! Those who talk or text during a movie are a plague on society.
On the next episode of theFLICKpick, JohnFlickster goes on a crusade to wipe out the plague known as the rude moviegoer.
John, review the Conjuring 2 please! :)
you and chris should double elbow bomb these bitches who distupt screenings john!
That's fucking sexy
+Alec Wigdahl Not to mention his berserker attack after drinking a supercharged Mountain Dew with three ice cubes, no more no less
I never though that I was loud in a movie theater but after this video I could think of some times when I may have been disrespectful to the people around me. This video made me more aware of how much noise I was making. Thank you
At least you realize it, so that already makes you ten times better than most people.
character development
God bless you
Wow, a reasonable person being accountable, admitting wrongdoing and attempting to make things right. Maybe there is hope for the human race after all. Thankyou.
Just whisper in the person's ear next to you.
Theaters need to include a noise cancelling headphone option.
Or a "kick assholes out with zero refund" option.
A new invention of noise cancelling stereo should be invent and install at cinema ...once the movie start no noise can be hear accept for the show...
Too expensive.
Helll yea that would be awsome
Silent Cinema...now that's perfect.
If I want to enjoy a horror movie I don't bother going to the cinema I'll just wait for a home release. It's not always ideal but at least it's a controlled environment.
i don't know, once i was at the cinema and these people got into a fight after they started arguing because one person was on their phone. Luckily they just punched for a bit and then they were mates but it was pretty fun
Dang it, I wish I had read your comment last night, went to see the Conjuring 2 and entire back row of 13 year old kids wouldn't stop talking and yelling at every single fucking scene. I will take your advice for future horror movies.
Saw The Witch at a public screening in the UK when nobody was in the cinema and it was the most bloody magic experience ive ever had at a theatre. Usually though the audience just ruins the experience for horror movies for all the reasons Chris was saying, its a shame as horror movies can be the most fun to see at a cinema. Btw love the podcast!
And it's a bit more scary when you're home alone in the dark watching it.
some people act like little kid when watching horror movie. It's ridiculous
They should just play chris' message in front of every movie at the theatres
Kayne Mosch that would be great! 😁👍🏻
It's 18 minutes long.
Omg yes!
THAT, my friend, is a FUCKING GOOD FUCKING IDEA!! (forgive my language)
Preach it brotha Preach it
My wife I went to see The Nightmare Before Christmas when they re-released it in 3D and a family came in towards the end of the previews talking loudly and they sat right behind us and preceded to talk constantly threw the movie, I started to look back at them and made sure they saw me but nothing changed, finally about 20 mins in a biker looking dude in front of me looked back at them and said "are yall going to talk the whole movie?" they looked shocked but pretty much stayed quit after that. So moral of the story bring a mean biker looking dude with you.
that kind of people only understand physical threat made by someone who looks like he can back it up. It's the only way. Threaten them. It's either shut the fuck up or being hospitalized. Their choice
Lesson learned. 😂
Biker guys are cool as shit. I knew a tough talking biker guy who was a friend of my Grandpa. He looked like Kurt Russell in a leather jacket. He was actually pretty soft when he talked to me.
I know I´m late commenting this, but... Things haven´t changed. Just watched "Rise of Skywalker". Behind me sat an old man, having sweets from a bag, that made a real loud noise, when grabbing the sweets. After constantly wording out things he saw on the screen while the previews and grabbing constatly into the loud bag. I hoped he´d shut up, as soon as the movie started. Of course he didn´t.
The movie started. He grabbed the bag and commented everything he saw... After 5 Minutes, I turned around, held a finger before my mouth and made the universal sound for "Keep it quiet, please". The man didn´t react, but kept on doing his stuff. Another minute later, I turned around and asked, if he could please stop to make the noises, because it keeps me from enjoying the film. He said "It´s okay.", but didn´t change his manners at all. Another few minutes later, I turned again and asked again, this time a little louder, but still friendly. He told me to change my seat, if I can´t stand it. I told him, that I paid for exactly this seat and won´t sit anywhere else, since the room was crowded. I asked a final time for him to be quiet. So he threw his now empty bag of chocolates after me.
I never felt so desrespected in my life at all. He tried to bother me by shaking his popcorn after he finished the sweets and never stopped talking until the movie ended. Unfortunatly noone else ever spoke up. That´s the most annoying thing... Everyone else is not brave enough to skeap up against cinematic hooligans.
Silent Mike Sorry man. Sucks you had to deal with that. You pay for a movie you deserve a good experience
Considering what I've heard about Rise of Skywalker, that sounds like the second worst thing to happen to you that day
Just throw your drink at him, people like that are just entitled man children who talk like to their mothers for tendies. If you hit back they'd run away because they're cowards
@@twistedgwazi5727 If you didn't see it, you don't get to say
@@kay_girl_97 I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying I've heard it's bad and making a joke about it. Lighten up, eh?
Number 1 rule for life: NEVER go to a horror film on it's release week. it's going to be filled with immature teenage brats who won't shut up or turn their phones off
Annebelle is a perfect example of that
+unusual taunts Who cares Annabelle was really bad.
+Your Majesty yea but at the time everyone thought it was going to be the best horror movie.
nah, just watch the movie a week after its released at a less popular theater.
But then there's still assholes appearing after the release week
it's on action scene i think it was Captain America Winter Soldier? There's this dude with his girlfriend, he sit one or two seat away from mine and speak to his GF
Boy: "ye i've watched it before, he's gonna do *spoilers*"
YEA YOU HAVE TO BE SMART AROUND YOUR DATE AND TELL SPOILER IN THE CINEMA GOOD LORD
Movie theaters should have a button on each chair to send up an alert that someone is ruining the experience. If a certain percentage of the audience presses the button within say a minute or two's time, the usher gets notified and investigates.
This eliminates two problems: 1) polite moviegoers don't have to confront the offenders. They don't even need to get up. 2) The theater can better justify getting involved, because they have numerical data telling them just how many people are having a bad experience and are less likely to return. In fact, they could probably correlate these numbers over time and see how it affects revenue.
Also, buttons are cheap, and wiring them up (or using wireless) to a numerical display with some rudimentary programming super simple.
I had this exact thought a few days ago, but had no idea how possible it was. As long as they quietly sent a worker in to investigate *before* taking action to prevent large groups of friends (a group of 5 people could be a super-majority in a 7-8 person theater) from getting innocent people kicked out, it would be so wonderful.
+Andrew Vinson The usher would be trained to investigate, not automatically kick someone out.
That would be misused like hell
This would be a great idea.
There is a theater near my house that has buttons on each seat, and I only need to pay around $8 for each ticket, fuckin amazing
I had a couple talk throughout the entirety of The Quiet Place!
Elizabeth R that is the worst movie to talk during!!!!!
@@elleyeah746 Why? There's no dialogue to hear /s
IIIShrikeIII Because it's super quiet and tense, having someone talk during it would ruin the whole feel of the movie. As an audience member, you are afraid to be loud yourself when watching (at least that was my theater experience).
@@IIIShrikeIII seriously?
@@thehallowayboys Do you not know what “/s” means?
I was actually lucky enough to have the most heavenly cinematic experience a few days ago. I decided to go watch "parasite" after work by myself and it was a movie that I was really looking forward to since all the critics and reviews of it had been magnificent. I turned up to the movie and there was literally only five other people with me, all of them elders who were there for the same reasons. I watched this masterpiece in silence, with the best seat in the middle of the theater and with no interruptions whatsoever. An experience that every film fanatic deserves.
*Bliss*
That sounds incredible. A damn shame that it rarely happens these days
It's ridiculous that people pay $10 to sit in a dark room and stare at their phone or talk to their friends. You can do that at home for free.
You don’t need a movie to do that! Just turn off the lights, sit there, and do your texting.
Rashaun Browne the point of what he’s saying is they don’t care about the movie.
More like $18 lol not including food
Rashaun Browne yeah, ok. So those people should fuck off the theater
The only problem is that's not what you do in theatre at all
I almost yelled at a family once for being beyond obnoxious. It wasn't even the fact they were talking, kicking and coughing. I nearly lost my edge when they started taking 20 thousand photos of each other with the click and flash on. WHO THE HELL DOES THAT?!?
wtf? who does that
I once told a girl that the glare of her cellphone's screen was annoying and to please turn it off (coincidentally that was the last time I was ever polite about it) to which she responded by turning on her flashlight app, pointed in my direction... I shit you not, I reached out, snatched the phone from her hand and threw it!
Alex Maurice She was screaming, but I didn't pay it much attention, I got the fuck out of there lol
Should have told the theater they were filming the movie.
Jeff Parkinson Yeah, but when you've committed assault and destruction of private property, you GTFO
Someone used a drone in the theatre near where I live. Yep... That was something that happened...
Oh my god...
oh my god...
oh my god...
oh m-god oh god...
oh, oh god, oh my god
Must have been to get aerial shots for their pirated video recording.
Stand on seat. Time it. Jump. Grab it. Take 3 minutes to break into a thousand pieces. Sit down.
@@rotyler2177 BRILLIANT. 👏
What.The.Fuck?
This isn’t quite relevant to cinemas, but it’s similar. I went to a Classical music concert a last year and it is pretty much like going to a cinema in the sense that you sit in silence and listen. So I went to the Royal Albert Hall (you know, one of the most famous concert halls in England which only accomplished artists perform at) and and the amount of people that sit on their phones with the brightness all the way up is ridiculous. How can you sit on your phone during a live performance of Beethoven’s 5th Piano Concerto and 9th Symphony??? It’s disrespectful to the conductor, it’s disrespectful to the orchestra, it’s disrespectful to the soloist and it’s disrespectful to everyone in the hall. I just will never understand some people and I suppose I’m grateful that I am not one of those rude people.
Eddie Hutchence Yeah man can’t win em all dude! Stay strong man I’m here for ya
Go into the elbphilharmonie in Hamburg , that’s horrible too
As someone who works at the movie theatre *and* watches many films for free, I can tell you - WE DON'T LIKE IT EITHER. It happens about once every two screenings or so that I'll be sitting down in an auditorium, and some folks will come in and play around on their cell phones, or loudly talk about what's happening on-screen, or chatting out loud just because they don't think "the film is good enough yet."
A couple of experiences. As a filmgoer and an employee.
First one was during *Manchester By the Sea*, of all movies - there were these two ladies that would laugh ferociously loud throughout the entirety of the film, as if they were watching a Will Ferrell comedy or something - it didn't matter if the movie was actually trying to be funny or not. They'd be half a theatre away from them and you'd be hearing their commentary about the film all the way through. I would have done something, but just when I was about to get fed up and do something about it, some miracle would happen and I'd end up calming down, up until the point where they'd start all over again.
Another one was during *Life*, where this old lady was prattling on about God-knows-what to her husband, unendingly. It was fine at first, when it was just the trailer, but then the opening scene began to play, and she was still talking. Feeling like she wouldn't stop, I lost my patience and asked her to stop - all she said was that "the movie hadn't started yet." Apparently, because she feels differently about film than we do, she gets to talk until it's "started". Nice.
The most recent experience happened when I was cleaning a theater. I went into *Wonder Woman* a few minutes early to hopefully get it cleaned up a bit faster - and at the very top of the auditorium, I could hear howling laughter and roars from a group of teenagers up top. The other, silent filmgoers closer to the bottom of the theatre left almost immediately when the credits started rolling. As one lady was leaving, I stopped her - I asked her if they'd been like that throughout the entire movie, to which she replied "pretty much".
I had to apologize to her. I felt so bad that anybody would have to deal with that after paying money to see this. This really pissed me off. Even more bothering was the fact that they seemed to have such little faith in the system that they never even came and told us. The teenagers were still screaming and hollering at the top of the theatre, but I wasn't going to let that slide. I went up to those teenagers and told them not to come back if they were ever going to be that loud during a movie again. I would have got a manager to kick them out earlier if I'd known they were pulling a stunt like that.
That shit pisses me off as much as it does the rest of you. We do care, at least, at our theatre. I'm sorry you guys have to deal with this, and if we could put a stop to all of it, we would, but people just don't listen to rules, and we don't have the kind of money to hire people to constantly regulate these theatres. If somebody is being disrespectful in the audience, please, please tell us. I don't know about other theatres, but I'll do the best I can to ensure that you can enjoy your movie without that kind of hassle. I love movies as much as the rest of you.
Jesus, that sounds pretty bad. I've never experienced anything like that before ,but how can some people just be so disrespectful to others and not feel any shame about it? I feel bad already when I need to pass other visitors to get to the toilet and then there's some people who just yell and throw a tantrum. Unbeliveable.
Yak 3nu because when you spend money to be at a movie, you should be able to do what you want...lol thats how most ppl feel. just tell them to shut up and be rude about it, i do, and the whole theater is quiet
I hate to admit it, but at 17 I was that guy while watching The Artist. I feel badly for it now and wish I could smack my younger self upside the head for many other reasons besides.
+Smoked Paprika AND, if someone REALLY starts bothering everyone, you also have the right to call the C O P S, and ask them to escort that person out, and/or have that person A R R E S T E D for disturbing the peace!
Wow.
I feel my blood pressure rising every time I watch you talk about this.
Hahaha! same here
Especially that "tch" sound...
When I went to see Richard Jewell, an old couple sat one seat away from me even though there was only one other person in the entire theater. They talked constantly and at one point, the wife got a phone call and instead of silencing her phone, CALLED BACK JUST TO SEE WHO IT WAS. She was loudly whispering into the phone and I could literally hear the guy on the other end saying "What?" The husband shushed her and she yelled at him "NO ONE CARES." Uh, hey, I CARE. Some people are so freaking entitled.
I went to see 1917, and a couple of young adults were laughing during the movie, pretty annoying, i told them "Would you please shut up?!" And guess what, they laughed... People these days don't care about the other ones around them.
Gaming Pobre dang! That sucks! Especially when a movie like that is ruined for you!
Thats a bitch bro people lack perspective or they have it and just dont care which is even worse
My only question is: who in their right mind laughs during a World War One movie filled with mature subject matter and a dark period of time?
People like that get on my damn nerves seriously.
@@alon.schindler23 Some idiot who talks in the movie theater. And you'll should be pretty good at Basketball again.
literally had a woman and her daughter provide commentary right behind me during don't breathe.
There are two types of movie goers. The people who genuinely love movies and the people who go for social hour to pass the time.
agreed
Christian Cole your are not Joel or Mike Nelson and his robot pals in outer space
Stop Commentary like MST3K style
Do that at home with something else
Not you, those annoying people.
RiNickulous Productions I hear ya bro
Fuck, Don't Breathe was excellent. Sorry you had it ruined by some other person
My bad movie experiences always involve crying babies
David Roudebush I think my worst was when I watched the desolation of smaug with a few friends who all love LOTR and 5 minutes in the kid behind us begins to cry. He then cries all the way to the end. Fortunately he stops crying about when they cover smaug in gold. But then starts talking and the last scene of the movie, the really cool one, where smaug says I am fire, I am death, this child says, out loud, very loud, in hindi, "that's a doggie right?"
greengoku10 Hindi?
Rupert Repulsive ....it..it's a language. Did you not know this?
I know that, but there was a lack of context that led to confusion. Did you watch this movie in india, was it a family of indian immigrants? Are you indian or did you learn it as a second language?
Rupert Repulsive I mean, it doesn't really matter. Kinda like if I say that a girl started screaming in Spanish at the movies I went to. I could say I understood every word because I speak the language. Many people of many nationalities/cultures can be found in many, many places.
Three middle aged women repeated every Cat pun in Cats but it kind of improved my experience.
something similar happened to me when i went to see bad boys for life. some asshole right next to me was like “oh shit” or “wow” or stuff like “that’s nicky jam”. also repeated every single audible joke, ever. i was stoned as hell and it still ruined the fucking experience. i learned my lesson and from now on only plan on going tuesday afternoons or even mornings, when no one’s there. also just 6 bucks a ticket.
@@crunchy1547 What's the best movie you've seen stoned? (Just curious)
Colli_Wolly oh man, definitely Joker. it was hilarious. prior to seeing it, I hadn’t laughed that hard in a long time. Spider-Man Far From Home was also just enjoyable, really entertaining. and i used more commas here than i originally meant to.
@@crunchy1547 I watched Full Metal Jacket stoned, and it was terrifying! I love the film, though.
Colli_Wolly i like rewatching childhood shows when i’m high, makes me feel like a kid again. weed brings people together man.
Come to India, they burst firecrackers in theatres.
And make out and almost have sex
@@harshpatil3826 really?😂😂😂😂
Not in any of the theaters I’ve seen. Then again, I’m not familiar with northern India...
Haha I remember seeing a video of that and was just shocked 😆 I couldn't figure it out until I read your comment lol
Also the classification board acts like an authoritarian censorship bureau.
Saw Warcraft yesterday.
With full audio commentary from the regular WoW players behind me.
+Ryan Williams I didn't think so, but I can't speak for everyone and respect their opinions on the movie.
Me too. I didn't like it, but "O MY GOD LOOK A MURLOCK THAT'S FROM THE GAME TIHIHIHI" didn't help.
DVD extras, in the theater! Enhanced experience!
that sucks, i think this movie is more out to have that happen then most movies.
the warcraft fan base is going to want to compare every little aspect of the move in comparison to the game sooo loved.
grrr i could even see me being one of those people, that's why i wont go see it.
As for chris , that really sux as well. It seems like a fight with todays society. and no the theatres wont help much.. Maybe technology will be what brings theatres into more private settings
sounds like hell.
I was actually really impressed the other day. I went to see Jurrasic World Fallen Kingdom, and this couple brought their two really little kindergarten aged kids to see it. I turned to my mother and I was like "they seem a little young to see this" and I was correct. They were not enjoying the movie and they were whining and making noise, but to my surprise the parents took the kids and left the theatre. They left so that other people's experience wouldn't be ruined. It was very refreshing to see some respect in the theater.
well to be fair to the kids the movie was pretty shitty
My Chemical Republican that sounds amazing. I remember going to go see a movie in the summer, and a couple behind me brought their screaming baby with them. And they stayed there the entire movie and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I mean hello, keep your kids in line.
Wayfaring Stranger ok yes it was sort of not that good but what he’s saying is it was refreshing to see respect in the movie theater.
They weren’t missing anything
I wanted to leave because that movie was boring as hell
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”
Yeah, I agree. I think it’s gotten worse. It’s insufferable.
No. It's always been bad
I was on a date at a movie and there were these 3 older teens talking and making comments after every single scary scene. I finally stood up and yelled “PLEASE STOP THE PLAY-BY-PLAY COMMENTARY!!!”
Worked like a charm!
so i went to a movie and this woman brought a child ,who was of temper tantrum age, who of course decided to have a tantrum during the movie. this went on for almost 45 minutes even after MULTIPLE people asked her to take her child to the bathroom to calm down. she felt she didnt have to since he wasnt being "that loud" and she deserved to finish the movie like everyone else. no one told security at first in the hopes her child would quiet down but he didnt. someone eventually grabbed a security guard who witnessed the tantrum and escorted them out. she was huffing and puffing like she was so disrespected for being escorted out. we cheered as they walked out lol.
i also forgot to mention that the woman was shushing her child because he was annoying her but didnt seem to mind that he was annoying everyone else -_-
Lyzzie K. Which movie did you go to see ?
RP i cant remember it was a while ago. i think it was sausage party lol.
Lyzzie K. Haha. If her child was quiet throughout the movie, he/she would have probably learned some new things.
I saw Hacksaw Ridge a few weeks ago. One of the best movies of the year, but someone in my row thought it'd be a great idea to bring their 5 year old to see this Mel Gibson war movie. It was not.
then let the kid drive home cause he was to drunk to drive lol
I saw Mad Max and a dad bought his daughter who was probably 5 or 6 and they sat next to me. They were great though, at the end when the credits roll I heard her turn to her dad and went "That was awesome!" and I couldn't stop smiling
You think that's insane. I went to see The Revenant, and this couple brought their 6-7 years old son with them. And my friend told me he saw a couple take their 4 year old to Django Unchained

magmablock When I saw London has fallen,someone took their baby. And during all the action sequences,the baby started crying and they had to be escorted out. Same thing happened when I saw Hardcore Henry

When I saw Cats there was a lady who sang aloud every song in the movie throughout the entire runtime. At first it was really bothering me seeing as the entire movie is basically one continuous song. But at a certain point she became more entertaining than the movie so it is what it is.
I respect your bravery for willingly watching the Cats movie
That poor woman was probably a fan of the cats Broadway show
Somebody was doing a really bad job of jacking off right in front of me during cats, it somehow made the movie more enjoyable, and that’s saying something
Rogue One. A girl behind me - WHO HAD NEVER SEEN ANY FUCKING STAR WARS MOVIE SAYS THROUGHOUT - "Oh, my god. This movie is so convoluted. Where is Spock?"
lol
I think I just had a small stroke reading that.
That girl isn't serious, right? I mean... she HAS to be trolling... RIGHT?!

A lady brought her baby to Endgame. A brief reminder is that Endgame was a movie that was hyped for nearly 10 to 11 years. The lady with a baby sat right next to me, and as soon as the movie started... the crying began. Thankfully it ended at the halfway point, but I was so angry that someone has the audacity to actually bring their child, who they know will full and well cry, to a cinematic event I had been looking forward too since I was a kid. It takes another level of ignorance for that.
In nz something similar happened with the lion king, this lead to a adult's only movie time.
@@logan3889 that honestly sounds super smart
Nate ain't funny yea happened to me as well in south Florida, I was sorta pissed
@@sebastianw614 omg south Florida theaters are the worst depends on which area you're in
Wow who'd bring a baby to the cinema anyway? No wonder it was crying
The last movie I ever went to in a theater was "The Dark Knight Rises" in 2012. I haven't been to a movie since. - I used to think I was jinxed. That I was just "unlucky" sitting next to some jackass who thought nothing of talking throughout the entire movie or turning their pink popcorn wrapper into a musical instrument. But I eventually realized ... I wasn't unlucky. That's just society now. It is FILLED with inconsiderate people.
So in 2014, I spent a bunch of money to turn a room in my house into a mini-theater. I bought a 75" screen and installed subwoofers in the floorboards under the 3 couches and tweeters in the walls. I realize that's not an option for most people. It's was expensive. But that decision I made came from so many horrible movie-going experiences. From other mover-goers who seemed to be totally oblivious to the fact that other people sitting around them didn't want to hear them making comments, or hear their screaming children, or hear them munching on popcorn like they'd been starved for a year..
*It's been 9 years since I've gone to the movies, something I truly LOVED to do.*
I'm so sorry to hear that. That movie was amazing as well. It's not fair for you that those people ruined your experience.
I went and saw Maleficant: Mistress of Evil with my girlfriend and her 3 other friends. My girlfriend was quiet the whole time, but her friends talked the whole damn time. It wasn’t whispering, it was full on TALKING! There were children in the theater and her friend would say “Barbecue sauce on my titties” as loud as possible. Then her other friend would say “BE QUIET” really loudly. My girlfriend was really embarrassed and slumped down in my seat in embarrassment. After the movie ended me and my girlfriend litterally ran out and left them in there so we wouldn’t be associated with them by the staff. The movie sucked anyway but that doesn’t change the fact that there are other people in the theater who might like it.
People in theaters can be so stupid. Love the profile picture!
So I recently saw Coco, and I’m not kidding, a group of people were FACETIMING there friend. It was awful. Finally, a guy stood up, and chewed them out. I didn’t here a peep afterwards. Thank you to him.
Bionic Eyes i would yell out to people to shut up in cinemas but im scared i might get kicked out too
*their friend (possessive)
*up and
*hear (different meaning)
Chork po I love Coco. We went to see it on the last day the theater by the high school played that movie and it was probably something that would’ve annoyed some people. Still a great movie though favorite Pixar movie. 💙💖💀🌺
That guy was me
Sadly, it seems like the majority of people forgot what respect is. Lol, first grade level kids being more respectful than adults, not surprising these days.
i thought it was the norm. I assume the kids are quiet because the parents don't want to deal with rude people 24/7 and parents are quiet because they are so drained from taking care of kids. And adults are loud because they don't have someone telling them to shut up.
Brianna Lee IN INDONESIA IM SO HAPPY BECAUSE IN THE THEATER HAVE A RULE THAT POP UP IN THE 10 METER SCREEN
hendy kusuma the kids here are quite worse...they always kicking out seats!
Brianna Lee thank god that most of my movie theater experiences have been pretty great (my Jurassic World viewing years back was so heavenly and awesome, it is easily my favorite theater experience of my life)
Brianna Lee I dunno about today vs then but I avoid crowds in general so that's probably why I don't have to deal with many loud and obnoxious people... Age of Ultron was a good experience in that regard, people were laughing from time to time and were calm. Maybe it's where I live? People here are cool in general...
The most insane theatre experience I ever had was during hereditary, Thursday night opening weekend. We got there early, picked our seats and everyone seemed excited to be there, there was talking during the previews, and once the movie started it was absolutely DEAD SILENT, it was wonderful. Until about 20 minutes in, when these two jackasses walked in and were yelling at each other and laughing. They walked up the stairs yelling “so and so where are you at?! WHERE ARE YOU AT? WHERE?!” And I mean hereditary is intense as hell, so I’m already on edge. Then this guy in the middle just yells “can you shut the fuck up?!” And a fight almost breaks out because this yelling idiot was just like “you wanna take this outside?!” It was uncomfortable to say the least. The most ridiculous part? Those two idiots left 10 minutes later and didn’t come back. What an absolute farce.
One of my worst recent movie going experiences was seeing Jordan Peele's "Us" in a theater filled with people who clearly didn't care about the movie at all. They expected some dumb slasher, got some movie to think about and just figured laughing at their own jokes the entire movie was the best course of action. It seriously impacted my enjoyment of the film and every time I think back about that film I think of how awful my time there was.
On the other hand, I was invited to a preview event of the new Halloween movie; this audience was mostly made out of press and die-hard fans of the franchise. The entire movie everyone was dead quiet, right until the credits began to roll and everyone was clapping and cheering, clearly excited about the film they just saw. I'm not one to clap or cheer at the end of a film, but the entire experience just reminded me that there are good audiences still going to see movies and when that happens you will still be able to be immersed in the movie. I loved it.
I had basically the exact experimence. Same movie even.
Rules for being in a movie theatre:
1. Don't talk. Nobody wants to hear your commentary or other unnecessary words.
2. Don't use your cell phone. The movie at most is 2.5 hours long you'll survive not checking your Facebook and shit for 2 hours. If its an emergency just step out of the theatre and talk it in private.
3. Leave your babies at home. Hire a sitter or something but for the love of God don't bring your obnoxious crying offspring to the movies, especially if you know its gonna be a loud movie.
4. Open your snack outside of the theatre so no one else has to hear your failed attempt at opening a bag of sour patch kids silently.
5. If you bring your kids to come watch make sure they know to be quiet and not ask a questions about everything that's going on.
6. Bathe before coming to the movies. For Christ sake no one wants to know what your ass smells like after not showering for a few days. It literally takes 5 minutes to take a shower.
7. If someone is being loud or obnoxious and you're closest to that person please be courteous and ask them to be quiet for everyone else. Or at the very least tell the ushers.
8. Have fun. Everyone spent hard earned money to enjoy th marvel of modern day cinema so just be silent and take it all it.
Preston Garvey the candy opening might be a bit intense, your at a movie where people eat snacks, and it only takes a few seconds
Preston Garvey 9. Go to that other settlement that needs our help
To be honest, and this could seem extreme... But, I think people should not eat in theaters in the first place. I mean, damn it, it's not like you're at your home on a couch...
Preston Garvey I've been guilty of #4 several times. It was a while ago, and I don't go to the movies much anymore at all, but that's good advice. I'd feel rude, and even kinda embarrassed, sitting there trying to get a bag open and making rustling sounds. But that's not near as bad as the truly rude people. It's ridiculous that people can be so loud, obnoxious, and rude in a movie, and even more so that they don't care at all about the people around them. And may then get butthurt and offended when someone asks them to stop!
I don't agree with number 4
I went to go see Keanu, the couple in front of me were VAPING the whole movie.
Went to see Popstar, my friend is on his phone the entire movie. We leave, and he goes, "Wasn't that good". But.. You didn't...
Went to see Conjuring 2, woman behind me loudly guessed every scare AND burped 3 times throughout. Then when Patrick Wilson starts singing with the guitar, this girl says to her boyfriend, "Why can't I have that". Mayyyyybe it's because you're awful.
"Why can't I have that?" ahahahahahaha. First world issues at his best!
The narcissistic mindset of women is showing... (For the triggered snowflakes that might read this: Not all women, it's a trend bla bla bla bla)
if my friend would be on his phone the entire movie i would really tell him to put it away, the light would annoy me, can't stand that. Its up to you to do your part
I guess the boyfriend didn't have those damn sideburns like Patrick Wilson .
If my friend was on his phone during a movie I'd probably slap the shit out of him.
I had a "friend" who went to go see Divergent and he snuck a laser pointer in and they were pointing it at the screen the entire time apparently. Suffice to say I will never go to a movie with him.
Yeah I wouldn't hang out with that dope.
Coming soon to theaters: "a rant on annoying moviegoers part 3" rated PG-13
Should be rated fucking R. Beyond rediculous but some people are just dopey bafions whos behavior is beyond belief.
Dude. I want to thank you for making me more aware of myself. I don't often go to movies, but when I do, I often don't realize how obnoxious I'm being (and the more I look back on how I acted, the more I cringe). I haven't had anyone confront me about it yet (I'm still fairly young), but now I will be much more conscious of how I act when watching movies. Thank you for sparing me the experience of pissing someone off so much that they start yelling at me (or worse).
In the Netherlands, there's a cinema chain where you are only allowed to use your phone to report people disrupting the movie. It works really well, and me and my dad have now used it twice
You have to text to a certain number with the cinema you're at, the room number and why the movie is being disrupted.
+TheMrzippie that sounds amazing wish my theater had that
What chain is that? Pathe? Because if so, that sucks, because I don't have one near me :P
Yes it's Pathé. Right before the movie starts or after all the commercials, they give a simple reminder that when it happens: let us know! It really helps.
But whipping out your phone to text that number puts you ON that list of disruptors. Don't be on your phone in a theatre, it's a dick move.
I just saw Tenet for the second time at my local cinema. During this second screening there was this guy who was texting in the middle of the movie, and it was so annoying. Towards the end he just kept checking the time on his phone, probably because he wanted to know if the movie was ending soon?
Can’t we just forbid people from bringing their phones into the theater? (Except for the people who maybe need to be available in case of certain emergencies)
I always bring my phone to the theater--I'm fidgety and need it--but I always turn it off for every movie I see, or at least silent it; I never get calls anyway.
How about make them turn silent mode
That's like extra disrespect yo. That was the first movie to come out in MONTHS after the pandemic, everyone was so excited to be back in the theatre. I feel for you brother!
I never laughed so hard when Chris started talking about the person behind him.Too funny!
Whenever I go to the cinemas I always hope there won't be a group of teens behind me.
amen
So I'm 15 and my friends go to movies every once and awhile and they all act like asses and this one time I was like I'm going to the bathroom brb. So I went to the manager and requested that he told them to quiet down and I freaking sprinted back to my seat and acted all surprised and I've done that 4 or 5 times now because I really do enjoy films
What do you friends do, are they on their phones or talking during the film?
Why? U jelly of their youth?
+Darkanims well I'm not old that's FOR SURE😂😂
I've only gotten really mad at a moviegoer one time in my life. I was sitting right behind her and her friends and she just kept talking really loudly. I just took it, and hoped they would stop. But after about 45 minutes of her non stop LOUD talking (mind you, some lady asked her to be quiet and she wouldn't listen), I got petty, so I immaturely start kicking the back of her seat every time she was loud. After about five minutes of me kicking her seat she says (without turning around) "Stop kicking my fucking seat". At this point my blood was boiling so I just shout "I will when you shut the fuck up". She then got really quiet, and after about 1 minute she looked at her friends they all left the theater.
I have never fought anyone in my life but I was ready to throw hands that day.
Good job!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🤣
I should do that the next time I’m in a movie theater and someone who sits right in front of me starts acting loud.
Here's my experience:
Me and my family went to see Incredibles 2 back in 2018. Mind you, my family had already seen it before in the theaters and I haven't, so I was the only one going to see the movie for the first time.(btw, loved the movie it made me laugh a lot) So we go into the theater and the seats are 80% of kids, 15% adults and 5% teenagers. Me and my family sit in our seats in the middle row of the theater. I had to sit at the end of the row next to a teenager and right when the first line of dialogue was spoken from the movie, I knew this was going to be annoying. The teen right next to me started, not commenting or looking through his cell phone, but echoing the exact dialogue from the movie, I kid you not, word for word from Incredibles 2. 5 - 10 minutes into the movie I couldn't take it anymore, so I asked him politely to please stop talking and his response was the best thing I heard that day:
"Bruh who cares kid."
(fyi, I was also a teen, not a kid, in fact I might have been the same height as him), so you can imagine how mad I was. Luckily my parents noticed the situation and switched seats with me, but man...
It is just sad that people nowadays just don't respect people that are trying to have a good time and not just ignore, but be rude about it as well.
This is being posted in 2020 btw, I haven't been able to get it out of my mind since.
I have a few ideas:
1) Bring back ushers that stay in the theater for the entire run of the film. They can handle issues like talking, cell phone use and seating as the problems arise. Plus people are more likely to be on their best behavior if there is some form of "authority" figure present.
2) have the theater provide noise canceling headphones (I'd even be fine with the theaters charging a reasonable amount if you want to use them). or provide a jack in the chair for people to bring their own head phones.
3) Enforce the rating restriction. For R rated movies - children under 17 MUST be accompanied by an adult - not just let mom purchase two tickets for deadpool for her 8 and 9 year olds.
4) mandatory cell phone lockers - the push back won't be as severe as you may think. I've been to pre screenings where this was enforced and besides a little bit of grumbling it wasn't a huge issue.

When I went to see Madagascar 3 back in 2012, I went with someone who I'm not friends with anymore, not for this reason specifically but it did contribute. When there's a whole circus montage happening in the movie and Firework by Katy Perry is playing, my ex-friend SANG ALONG, AT FULL FUCKING VOLUME, DISTURBING ME AND THOSE AROUND ME. I was EMBARRASSED to be seen with him. I didn't go to the movies with him again (except once, with a group) and I'm glad I'm not friends with him anymore either

When I saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the first time in the theatre I went with a group of friends and that same guy was in the group, and he talked throughout the entire movie AGAIN, he read out the opening credits and commented on basically everything when I just wanted to enjoy the movie.
i quit going to the movies for many of the same reasons. i can sit home and watch movies while listening to my neighbors yell for free

My friend when I see Warcraft I hope people do not talk or do stupid crap.
I feel this is the inspartion of the new Joker movie.
Society doesn’t understand the theater
When we went to watch Infinity War, 4-5 middle aged women sat behind us with a child. They spoke throughout the entire movie and the child was running up and down the aisle. Got to the point where we turned and out of frustration told them to shut up and control their kid. Luckily they were quiet after that.
Chris you've inspired me to speak up and say something whenever a group is ruining everyone else's theater-going-experience. In my experience, everybody's usually too shy or scared to say something even though they so badly want to. But i'm gonna start being the guy that actually asks politely if they'll stop. Thanks
Same. it's saved at least 3 movies recently. XD
Hm. I guess there are situations where it works. But the worst experience I once had in a movie theater (in "The Village") there were a group of white "ghetto girls" in the last row who terrorized the whole room. They just sat there and chitchatted loudly or dealt with their mobile phones as if they weren´t aware to be in a movie. And a lot of people asked them to shut down, but they just gave brazen answers. One man who was there with his girlfriend tried to get loud and to threaten them enough to stop it. But they also get more and more aggressive and shouted at him. It would have nearly come to a fight.
Then it calmed down for some moments and in this time one woman just got out and a few moments later one cinema employee entered the room. And everybody applauded. He seemingly didn´t feel well and found it odd. But then he asked the girls to get up and leave the theater. They began to argue ("Huhh? But we didn´t do anything!!!") and the whole rooom shouted "Yes, you absolutley did!" In the end they had to leave, I guess one warned the man who argued before with them that he should watch out, that they would wait in front of the building to beat him up. I realy don´t know what went wrong with this kids..
fuck that dude. my mentality is i paid a shit ton to watch a movie. before the movie even starts I sense which crowd is. gonna be fucking annoying. I shush them the fuck up. if i here a peep especially when something creepy is happening and someone is trying to be annoyingly funny by saying something stupiid.
+Mara I almost had a guy fight me when I was watching Xmen apocalypse! He and his buddies kept kicking mine and my girlfriend's seats throughout half the film till I finally got up and was like hey kick my seat one more time and I swear to god you and I are going to have issues. One of the employees saw it and immediately put a stop to it. Long story short I got them to leave.

Hey man, you gotta do what you gotta do have people respect your girl
i stopped going to theaters because of an incident in 2011 where my life was threatened because a loud group of people had me mistaken for a guy who was telling them to shut up - they followed me out into the parking lot dragged me out of my car and some guy beat me with a tire iron - i had no idea who they were i wasnt even there for the same movie - they broke my collarbone and my jaw - police were called and three went to jail - all because someone else told them to be quiet and they made it a race thing - except for groceries and work i havent left the house since

My bad experience in a movie theater was with Annabelle: Creation. The movie just came out. Where I live, when I go to a movie theater to see a movie I'm excited to, I meet a lot of annoying people. But the worst one is with teenagers, especially when they're with groups of friends. I may have chosen the right time to see it. They are super excited (too much tho) to see it, they are sitting right behind me and during the first 15 minutes of the movie, they are starting to talk loud and kicking on my seat. I turn to them and say :"can you guys stop talking? I'm trying to watch the movie." So, 10 minutes later, they keep talking. I see a lot of people turning their head on them. I keep telling them the same thing. During the whole movie, it was like this. Just when the movie was about to finish, the mom of one of these kids show up, and they are talking LOUDER. It was super irritating. I was so pissed that I couldn't enjoy the movie as much as I wanted that, after the screening, I asked for a refund. It's the first time I had to do this. This was the worst experience I lived.
At endgame so many people were talking. Loved the movie but I had to hear, "is that iron man," or "is that Spider-Man" every three seconds
The funny thing tho, some people just went to watch the movie because it was so hyped up but never actually saw any avengers movie. I remember that girl asking her boyfriend if black widow was wonder woman Lmao
The attention span of teens and even adults today boggles my mind(I'm a teenager). I mean honestly. these people can't stay off their phone long enough to enjoy a good movie! like wtf! I watched a movie with some friends other day. it was the dark Knight. And they were literally on their phone the entire time. it's not just the movie theaters, it's everywhere. being on your phone is honestly rude and disrespectful. It's my biggest pet peeve.
Good to know there's some young'uns that feel that way. Also you're totally correct; anybody that claims it's solely teenagers that do that probably says it as they're looking at their phone.
Kevin Anand my family can't stay off their phone for a 45 min tv show.

I faced the same thing with No Way Home. Any of the three Spider-Men does as little as fart or slightly cough and there were “HOOOs” and “WHOAAAAAs” from the audiences, and it was at least 30% of the whole theater. Now, almost all of them were teenagers, and since there were a lot of them scattered all across the large imax theater nothing could be done about it, so I just sat there and deeply contemplated what kinda values these kids are inheriting from their parents.
This was 6 years ago… it’s 2023 and this shit is STILL happening. I’ve been through a lot, and I mean A LOT of of movie theater experiences where you have people constantly taking you back into reality when all you want to do is see a movie. My wife and I went through this a couple times lately throughout the year. We had a group of loud talking and texting teenagers when we saw Creed 3, there were kids stomping all over the aisles when we saw Scream 6 (seriously, who brings 5-6 year old kids to an R rated slasher film??) and the worst was those assholes who bring babies, this happened in Super Mario Bros. Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and recently with Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse… why would you bring a baby to a movie theater? Their memory chain is smaller than peas in a pod, they won’t know what’s going on, and they spend the majority of the day crying to get your attention… because they’re babies!! If the reason is because they can’t find a sitter, well then YOU don’t go to the theater and deal with your parental responsibilities. Your wants and needs are put aside for your kid.
Probably the worst experience I have had by far was when I saw SMILE back in October… oh my god, it’s traumatizing. The theater was packed and by the first trailer I knew this was gonna be an issue. There were a bunch of grown adults who were so overly loud, they were talking throughout the movie, they were laughing at nothing during the movie, I keep seeing phones out from people, even so many occasions where they were taking flash pictures of the screen or even flashing lights in my aisle directly to my face when I was trying to watch the movie. There was even a moment where 2 blonde teens come out of nowhere and sit in front of my aisle… and they were pulling their phone out and one shouted “DON’T OPEN THE DOOR!!” and she did it intentionally to be annoying… you have no idea how much I was fuming inside, I wanted to explode. It was disgusting how people are this disrespectful to others who just want to simply watch a movie and get insecure when they get called out for their bullshit.
Unfortunately people in general have become less respectful of others. Instead people have gone the way of narcissism where it's all about me regardless. very sad, unfortunately.
A product of bad parenting. Likely from single parent households. That's a HUGE issue right now....
Not sure this is actually true. I think your subjective nostalgia is kicking in.
How would you know? You are one human with a limited experience in life, just like everyone else here. Why are you posing your shaky belief as a conclusion man.
Dang facts
I have the feeling that every generation is saying that somehow now the worst is happening and back in the days people were more respectful, that's BS there were rude people back then and there are some now
When I was a kid I RARELY ever went to the cinemas because they were too expensive for my parents. Sometimes I would only go to the cinemas once every couple years, now that I'm older and working, I love going to the cinemas after work every few weeks and watching a movie, its special to me and I love it. I would go crazy if I was in your position Chris, in like 5 minutes. MAX. someone would feel my wrath.
When I went to the revenant, a family sat in from of me and brought their baby which proceeded to cry and or need attention throughout the entirety of the 2hr 30 min movie. They also seemingly brought a never ending supply of food and ate it throughout the entire movie open mouthed and very loud.
Why would they bring a baby to The Revenant? That movie is very inappropriate for a baby to be seeing/attending.

I love having emotional experiences during movies/TV shows. I cried during the beautiful finale of Gravity Falls not so long ago and I wanted to be rattled in a similar way by The Rise of Skywalker. This did not happen. The impact of the wonderful ending was ripped away by none other than my family who went with me to see the movie. There is a tragic death scene later in the movie and I didn’t get to appreciate it because my mother burst out laughing. In addition to that, my brother was whispering jokes the entire time and kept telling me how much he hated the movie. Neither of them would stop when I asked them to. My dad was also snoring the whole time. Everyone got mad at me when I called them out afterwards. I’m a relatively positive guy, I don’t usually rant like this so naturally, I forgave them because they all eventually came around and wanted to give the film a second chance. We went again and literally the exact same thing happened. They would not stop making noise. You know that feeling of getting to watch an emotional movie uninterrupted for the first time? Yeah, I will never get to experience that with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and that truly saddens me. I asked a girl to go see it with me and haven’t heard back yet. She’s a major Star Wars fan and I know she’s respectful and quiet and the perfect person to watch a movie with. If anyone can redeem the damage my family did to my Star Wars movie-going experience, it’s her. I hope she says yes. I would love to finally get to watch the darn movie.
Good luck on getting the girl! I went to see it with my Uncle and his 2 sons, and they’re all really nice, they’ve taken me to see every main release from the franchise since Episode VII. They never talk and it’s an amazing experience. Hope you get to experience it like that soon!
You should've been crying when Disney butchered Star Wars in 2015, not when they released 9 in 2019.
We're still waiting for your cliff-hanger finale with the girl...
@@encycl07pedia- dude this has nothing to do with what he is saying, besides it's his opinion, like it or not
I saw The Batman last weekend(in IMAX) and halfway through the movie these two ladies behind me were having their own little private conversation amongst themselves. I tried to just ignore it but they kept on talking. I eventually turned around and gave them a look, but that clearly didn't do anything. So a while later I turned around and shushed them but they still continued talking.The only reason I'm so angry about this is because I am a huge Batman fan, and going to see such a film in the IMAX theatre makes it even more special. I really don't understand why people would go to watch an IMAX movie, where it's meant to be even more immersive, and talk.
Nice lady voice:
-Please turn off your cell phones now
-Recording devices are prohibited
Arnold Schwarzenegger:
-*AND YOU! SHUT THE FUCK UUUP!!!*
⬆this would probably work
*Uses freeze gun* I hate when people talk during the movie!
Went and saw The Big Sick with my parents at this theater near a place I recently moved to. It was the first time I've been to this theater, and after the trailers, instead of a generic "please silence your phones" graphic, they had some skit where a whole bunch of people at one of the chain's theaters were explaining in detail why you shouldn't use your phone during the movie. Halfway through the Amazon Studios intro (so like, ten seconds after the phone bit), some woman in the same row as us starts playing around on her phone with full brightness that I can see through my peripherals. My mom and I both grilled her shortly after, and she kept her phone away the rest of the movie.
That honestly might have annoyed me enough to ruin the movie for me, but thankfully it was well done enough that it was easy to forget about her.
Part 3????!!!
Pelis express he'll send us part 3 from jail
Unfortunately that might happen given people in movie theaters thee days
...Hopefully there WON’T be a part three.
if there will be, it'll probably won't be uploaded until 2019.
Maybe
If it’s a movie that isn’t popular like Endgame or Joker, it’s probably a good idea to watch because when I went to go watch Rambo: Last Blood, everyone in that theater we’re silent, even an entire family with kids was there and they weren’t even talking
I used to hate going to the movies by myself but now with so many good movies coming out going to the movies by myself is an escape from life and I love it, and people can get annoying but I love just going to see a movie
Avengers endgame. Paid over £40 to watch it in 4DX, a group of young teens sat behind us. As soon as the film started they would not stop talking. Had to tell them all to shut up. Guy next to me liked to do a bit of commentary as well! And someones phone kept going off and the guy would get up and answer the call!!!! It's infuriating. I'm the same as Chris, I used to love the movie theatre experience, but every showing i go to now gets ruined by someone.
Paige Bottomley this happened for us at Endgame. It was disturbing because it was a whole family of people. Rude adults raising rude kids to talk and text during a movie. Sheesh.
This happened to me on both occasions I saw endgame. Fucking morons
40£ For Endgame Movie.... And get Annoyed..... That's Tuff..... I pay 50.000 IDR on 2D and it was a Complete silence.... No shouting, Clapping, or Talking Loudly
Used to have the Cinepass membership that allowed you to see any movie any number of times at any of the Cineworld cinemas. But gave it up because no matter when I would go, there would always be that one or multiple little shits that just would not stop talking. The last straw was was when, Like Chris I lost It and literally Screamed like a banshee for the cNuts to stop talking and was ready to get "physical". That was in 2013 and I have never been back to a cinema since then as now I just wait for a movie to be released on Blue ray and watch it at home.
I understand you, that's why I try to watch a movie right a way when it comes out or a few days before it stops showing in the cinema. Because in option 1 you get people who actually are interested in a movie if it is for example Endgame. I loved the experience there, and in option 2 I usually am alone in the movie theathere and that's heaven.
I went to see Star Was VII and when I went in I was dreading the movie so much. You know why?
Because I saw as I went in there were about 20 kids watching it for a party.
I was amazed as to how respectful those 20 kids were, I mean they were like 7, and I heard nothing from them. I can imagine how tempting it would have been for them to talk to each other the whole time.
But I can not tell you how many times my movie experience has been ruined by a kid's party.
Yeah SWTFA is that good!
Holy shit man
I don't think my son blinked through it, let alone talk!
where are you from because I went to see start was VII and there were a large number of kids a part of a birthday and I didn't hear shit from them
+Cromm Cruach I'm Northern Scotland. Took my son a couple of weeks after release so it wouldn't be so busy. I found the kids a lot more respectful than adults when we went.
During a screening of Aronofsky’s Mother a dude was laughing hysterically the whole time. Once the credits began to roll and walked up and told him that he was a terrible person. He just nodded his head and took it.
The sad thing about that is that Mother! is a very serious movie.
I’m so sorry you had to experience that Sir Slattery. That guy must’ve been high or maybe he really is a scumbag.
This video just popped up on my feed. The intro in the context of 2020 is awesome
when i watched Finding Dory there was this obnoxious spoiled little boy next to me and my boyfriend and he said the movie was boring so he pulled out his tablet and started playing Piano Tiles 2. FUCKING PIANO TILES 2. WITH FULL VOLUME. Everyone was glaring at the parents and they just dont care. Finally this guy was so fed up he splashed the kids tablet with his coke. That obviously made it worse cuz the kid started screaming and it was painful. The parents were yelling at the dude and a fight erupted , causing half of the people to leave including us.
and thats just one of my bad movie experiences but believe me , i have more. the management in our local theater sucks
You see why i mostly torrent movies instead of going to theaters? gosh people nowadays
Lol sounds like that would suck sorry
omg what a little shit
Literally just got back from Kubo and the Two Strings. Some Indian woman comes in 20 minutes into the movie (as in the actual movie, the trailers were already long passed) with her two kids, one of whom would stamp the floor or squeal like an infant (he had to be at least 6 years old) for extended periods of time. After trying and failing to tell him (or get his negligent mom) to stop, I reported them to the managers twice and another employee once, but they did nothing.
Finally, I sat directly behind them, and whenever the kid would make any kind of noise that didn't pertain to the movie (I'd be fine if they laughed at funny parts or gasped at scary bits), I would tell him to quiet. Not long after, she went into this tirade about how I'm picking on her kids (as if asking your kids to be the least bit respectable to the others around them is a form of bullying), that there's no one else in the theater (there were 7 others, and I mean *were* 7, because one woman got fed up and left three quarters of the way through, which the mom of course denied), and that it was a kid's movie, which apparently meant it was perfectly okay for her hellspawn to treat the theater like their playground. The noisy kid continued to be noisy for the rest of the movie, and I left wordlessly as the mother continued yelling at me when it was over.
Thankfully, I work where I went, so the only money I spent was the buck-fifty I spent on my coffee (employees get free movies and half-off select concessions), and I plan on seeing it again in the near future with another friend, hopefully to better results. As an usher, I take a very low-tolerance approach to noisy and disruptive filmgoers, and I'm sure as shit going to be vigilant about it this weekend thanks to her.
EDIT: Saw it again last week in 3D with a friend, far better experience. The worst thing (if you could call it that) was that there was a severely autistic man a couple of rows who laughed too loudly (as in the kind of fake laughter when a child wants everyone around them to acknowledge that they found what they saw as funny) when Kubo flew the paper into Monkey's butt, but other than that, total silence. It was beautiful.
Holy shit.... some people....
I remember Scream 4 in theaters with my stepdad on opening day. The theater was full of people who were loud as hell. People were all talking, one lady next to us was talking on her phone. Seriously, I fail to understand how people have the audacity to talk on their phones during a damn movie. That just sickens me.
junkyard014 wow, on the phone, sounds horrific
scream 4?? 2001??
lorddiosliving scream 4 came out in 2011 not 2001
I’ve got a best friend who talks through movies, she even asks me what the fk is happening while we’re watching it and punches me in the arm, bugging me if I don’t answer or I just whisper a hasty reply. Finally one day I cracked it and said: “if you watched the movie instead of fkn talking, you’d know what was going on!” 🤦🏻♀️😂
We went to a vintage theatre to watch Kubrick’s The Shining recently and she didn’t utter a single word! Was the best! 😂
Seeing IT (part 1) in the theater was the definition of pain and I haven’t been to a theater since. I can deal with people using their phones honestly as long as they turn the screen brightness down, I can even deal with people constantly talking as long as they make an effort to be quiet. But good lord that screening man, I had to leave an hour into it because I couldn’t take it anymore
I work in a cinema. You'll like this man!
Our place is almost completely silent. I cover the halls among many other things but I have an equaliser!
If someone is making noise or on a phone? I warn them! If they continue I unleash my weapon upon them. A high powered LED torch that can bee seen from 550 yards away. I go up, position myself and turn that bad motherfucker on right in front of their face! It literally blinds then for about 20 seconds.
The word has spread and we get a high turnout as people speak of that that evil long haired fucker that blinds people so badly they never make another sound in fear I'll do it again. After holding that light on them for about 10 seconds is say, "Don't make me come back!"
I never have too... :-)
That's so cool ! Give this man a thumbs up ! Do you think you could tell me what the job title is ?
You should get a medal or something. Sadly, I can see idiots suing of this.
We need more people like you.
RIGHT ON BROTHER!!!!! You are like The Dark Knight fot moviegoers.
✊🏽✊🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Faith in humanity restored 👌🏽
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to ensuring a quiet, comfortable cinema experience. We need more of you.
What worst than talking in the movie theater? people who set behind me and eat pop corn like a horse.
What's worse? Well, horsebreeding behind you perhaps? :P
Nor1MAL
One time I heard bzzzzbzzzbzzz from a girl sitting in the seat next to me for about 10 to 15 minutes in the middle of the movie, trust nothing more distracting than that. She was as ugly a horses ass, hence maybe her breathing counts as well?
lololololol
The #1 reason why I don't go to the theater anymore.
That's right. Like frigging horses who think it's a good idea to kick the seats in front of them or think you like feet right next to your face.
Thank you Chris, for describing your viewpoint as one who does reviews. I think you hit it out of the ball park as far as what some in your position go through. I too, love movies, and these are indeed annoying and inconsiderate. Keep making these...someone will eventually get this. I hope that it's sooner than later. You rock.
About those first grade level kids who were respected -- they were probably home-schooled....as I usually find kids with this kind of upbringing are very respectful of others....Good on the home-schooling parents!!!!
Would love it if you did a “my worst experiences in theaters this year” as an annual video.. this year being difficult lol but that would be entertaining
