Is talking during a movie okay?
| So what do you think about talking during the movie in a theater? Is it okay? Or are you like me and you loathe it? I have had plenty of movie going experiences ruined by other people talking or being on their phone and I was wondering if there is anybody on here that thinks that it's okay to talk during a movie and why? And also if you'd like to share, what's the worst experience you've had in a theater? |

| I think a short quiet whisper to whoever you're with is fine, but anything more than that is just damn rude |
when ur about to have a refreshing sip of earl grey tea and someone says "traps are gay" |
| It makes me go a little violent. I'm not sure. To be honest it probably won't ruin my experience but it gives me an excuse to act like an asshole so why not. It's hard to explain. Edit: Don't act like a dick and disturb others in such places, you can laugh or whisper but talking is breaking the rules and many people find it annoying. |

Menzo- said: I think a short quiet whisper to whoever you're with is fine, but anything more than that is just damn rude Yeah I agree, complete silence wouldn't make it fun to see movies with people, but it definitely shouldn't disrupt others' experience. 149597871 said: It makes me go a little violent.

| No, it's not okay because it would be annoying and distracting to other people especially if it's loud talking. |
 |
| As long as they're whispering during the movie, I don't see a problem. |
  |
| as long as people whisper, I dont care..I talk all the time during movies :P |

| I've been known too but it depends on the movie. Just keep it down and don't try to be a center of attention or anything, but sure you can say words during a movie. Sometimes if others are talking I go ahead and talk also. |

| People who talk in movie theatres need a swift and well-placed kick to the back of the head. Within reason, of course. If it's a one time thing, whatever. But if you're constantly being a fucking live-commentator, you need to shut your mouth. |

Unconcerned said: If I do go see a movie I choose the Alamo Drafthouse specifically for their tough policies towards cell phones and talking. You get kicked out quickly. If you can whisper and only the person next to you hears you, sure talk away. I come to the movie to watch, not to talk or listen to others babble on or ask question that they could learn if they would just pay attention. Yeah I've heard of the Alamo Drafthouse but the closest one to me is about 2 hours away so I haven't had the chance to go. |

| Happened to me today while I was trying to watch Love, Simon I was absolutely livid, I wanted to shoot the place up Ok sure whispering to the person next to you is fine but making loud comments every goddamn minute is obviously not going to fly at all |
  |
| That guilty moment when your friend keeps talking to you to create a lively atmosphere though. People gets carried away sometimes, and people do take pleasure in scolding them. I'll pull the trigger. |
| Why not? As long as you're not being too loud. |
 |
| Depends. What are they talking about? It might be more interesting than the movie. |
| could care less if they were whispering |
 |
| Talking in theaters is kinda annoying/distracting, but whispering's fine... |
 |
| It depends. If you're shouting like an idiot then no it's not okay. But if you're with someone, a group of friends for example then yeah you can whisper because I bet no one will hear you. |
| I've only been in a movie theater like two times and we talked a bit because we wanted to discuss what just happened. |
| There's a special place in Hell reserved for people who talk in movie theaters. |
 |
| Sure, ofc I want to drive to the theater and pay $10-$15 to listen to somebody talk over the movie for 2 straight hours. Makes complete sense. |

Nokkun said: I really dislike when people talk during movies, whispering can be okey sometimes, but meh... I'm there paying for entertainment, I don't want to put up with the very non interesting comments the person next seat might feel like telling. Other thing that pisses me off is the people who eat popcorns like they were at home with no one in a 1km radius.... Just eat politely, not like a pig. Yes I forgot about the loud eating...I had someone like that while I was seeing Pacific Rim 2 and they were trying to open their loud candy wrapper for like 10 minutes.

| In Italy they used to fuck in movie theatres. Nobody gave shit in early 20th century. |
 |
| People dont go to cinema to hear your talk. If you have manners you shouldn't have problem whispering. |
 |
| i dont mind whispering and the sound of people munching on food. i do mind talking and the rustling of chip bags/paper bags/popcorn bags tbf it's fine if people are making comments here and there. i have yet to encounter anyone who talks straight through a movie. sometimes there will be people who make really funny comments that i overhear, and it makes me laugh so hard. im the type of person who whispers a lot during movies, but i literally cup my mouth to other people's ears (idk if that actually helps or not). |
| Whispering is fine, whats really annoying is chewing sounds or rummaging in your food packet. |
| fking dont please...though i dont mind when people do it in whispers but some dicks likes to comment loudly on every fking scene in the movie and makes me want to drag them out of the theatre and beat them. |
| If I hear you talk every five seconds in the theater I'm going to get an employee to throw you out |
| Talk in a movie theater and I will punch you in the face because I've paid an arm and a leg to see the movie and I don't want a single person interrupting it |
| whisper is enough... but there is an exception with kids right? they will talk |
BLACK_BEANS said: whisper is enough... but there is an exception with kids right? they will talk I'm a grown ass man who goes to the cinema to watch Pixar movies. And I usually find kids are more well behaved and quiet than teenage girls (who are the worst people to be in a theater with) |

| As long as you didn't disturb anyone,is ok to make a little chat. |
 |
| If its quiet and infrequent its generally fine. I always feel guilty when I bring a pack of chips in and the packet makes a crinkly noise and my eating noise sound louder than usual. Sometimes I wait until the music is blaring to start snacking. |
| Not unless you want to get mugged and thrown out of the theater. |
| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| Yeah sure like during the trailers and shit, but honestly just stfu during the actual movie. If you have to have a serious convo or take an urgent call go outside the theater plz. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| it's fine but if you're loud enough that other people are turning their heads and being disturbed by your loudness, then you're being an asshole. laughing is fine too, as long as it's appropriate and not obnoxious. no one should hear you in a movie theater. you should whisper like you would in a library. i also would never understand why people bring little kids into movie theaters. they're annoying 99.999999% of the time. |
| Talk in my cinema too loudly and i'll fuck you up |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| Whispering is cool. I mean whenever a dope ass scene comes on sometimes me and my partner will lean over and discuss how epic the scene was quietly for a few seconds. If someone is just being loud, obnoxious and plain ass annoying throughout the movie, then gtfo. |

| Having to shift my legs awkwardly to let someone in my row doesn't bother me. Loud eating doesn't bother me. Hell, whispering their enthusiasm for future motion pictures during the trailers doesn't bother me. But what aggravates the hell out of me is obnoxious talking DURING the film. Especially jagoffs thinking they are funny or clever adding their own commentary and/or dialogue to key scenes in the film. It is not welcomed, it is not encouraged, and you should be lined up against a wall and shot in the back of the head for doing it. That's the kind of thing that makes me hope to see some kind of massive hollywood crash in big budget film making shortly after the release of Infinity wars. Where theaters across the nation are forced to close up shop and the industry remains dead for 5-10 years even while trying to appeal to eastern markets with low-common denominator garbage. These days I'd rather wait until home release and stream content from either Netflix and now Hulu while enjoying a pipin' hot pizza with my close circle of friends or on a solo basis. I can see that being the future of movies anyway. You likely lose the magic of going to the big theater but on the other hand you don't over pay for junk food and avoid a whole laundry list of hassle. |
| - Before the movie and when no major previews are playing: Fine - During the movie: No Other Aspects of People in Theaters: - Chewing Loudly: Please Don't - Getting Out of Your Seat: Ehh - Letting Your Kids Run Around (Even When it's Only a Few People in it): Nope. Ironically, the last one happened when I saw Mary and the Witch's Flower. Some dad thought it was a normal animated movie at brought his 4-5 year old daughters to the subtitled screening. Not only did they come right as the intro (with important plot points) started but then let them run up and down the steps during the beginning. Eventually, they left... And came back for the last 15 minutes. Luckily, it wasn't a very good movie anyways. Another bad (albeit minor) experience was when I saw A Silent Voice. I had already watched the movie online, but I wanted to support the industry so I watched it in a theater. In addition, I brought my mom since it's a movie everybody should see (granted, I had already showed her the online version prior to us going to a theater). I get that most would think bringing parents to an anime movie is taboo since they may not 'get it' and such. That aside, it was an independent theater, so the room was compact. During the previews, there was a couple a few seats down cursing like there was no tomorrow. Cursing itself doesn't bother me, but as they did for a few minutes straight (and pretty loudly too), it got annoying me. The worst part was when the movie started. During the movie, when Shouko was getting bullied relentlessly in the beginning, there were a few guys in the front row laughing as if it was a comedy. I was very disturbed. But yeah. The worst theater experiences always happen when you're seeing something you actually care about. |

| One thing is your phone ringing because you forgot to put it in silence, but a whole new level story is answering it and speaking normally! Seriously how can some people have so little notion of respect....how can they not give a fuck about the rest of the audience? |
| I despise it. I go to the movie theater often and although in most cases people know how to behave there are some instances when people can be really annoying and inconsiderate. When it comes to whispering, it's okay, as long as you don't whisper throughout the whole movie. |
