I love to watch suspense and action movies. But if I am concentrating and someone starts to talk to me that actually irritates me a lot. How is it for you?

It depends in where the movie is at. In a lull, talking doesn't bother me, but it does in important scenes. [steeltownfan5828]
Thank you for you answer. Makes sense. LOL [valeria1]
I find that very annoying too, especially when I am concentrating on the dialogues.I don't mind if its once or for a short while, but beyond that it gets difficult to handle. [alokn99]
Thank you for your answer. [valeria1]
It irritates me when my husband does it because he just continues until he's said what he has to, and it's usually during a part I want to hear. Thankfully he only does this mainly during TV shows, and not movies. During movies he'll complain if someone starts talking. Now we have 3 kids, all of whom have big mouths. lol but the biggest one belongs to my 11 year old daughter. She has a tendency to make observations and explanations out loud. This has given me some insight to how observant and perceptive she is, but it's annoying when you're trying to hear the movie. Luckily with her I can just tell her to "Shh" - can't do that to the hubby. glare [tinkerick]
Funny one. Is interesting to see how the kids are really observing things but I tell you I would say to my hubbie. Thank you for your answer. [valeria1]
i dont like it when someoe speaks to me in movies...but if that person has the feel of saying really impt that could be the exception adn please not on the most awaited scene!!!angrylol i watch movies often on cds so when someone speaks to me i will just pause the player and hear that person out and when we are done talking i will resume watching... [petiksmode]
i might throw popcorn to whoever is noisy int he theater!lols [petiksmode]
I donīt like when people are talking when you watch a movie,it irritates me. But for me,itīs ok if you want to give me a short comment about what you have seen. [Lucky_strike]
Thank you for your answer. [valeria1]
if it is during a important scene, it make me want to KILL !! Lol !! [jeancharles]
Lol ! I was joking ... But it's true it's irritate me a little ... [jeancharles]
if i am at home, i can rerun the scene and sometimes that makes a point ..... if i'm at the movie, i'm more annoyed at people behind or in front of me by talking and constant up/down, up/down. LOL i think i prefer to watch movies at home obviously ! [MOMMASAM]
i too get irritated when someone talks to me while watching movies. i really don't like talking while i watching movies. when love to enjoy movie silently. i lose tamper when someone talks to me while watching movies. [toogle]
Be nice if not you will have to see it alone. No loosing temper. [valeria1]
If someone is talking for only a few seconds and only once in a while, it doesn't bother me. I'm not one of those people who turns around at every noise someone makes and shooshes them. But, if they are having a full blown conversation during the whole movie, then, yes, it does bother me. I also hate it when people talk on their cell phone! People talk on their cell phone everywhere, even in the movies and at the library. I mean, why do they have to be talking all the time? [desertdarlene]
I agree with you. Oh the cell phones! They are killer but I think they just talk all the time because they are compulsive talkers and did not find My Lot yet. LOL [valeria1]
I guess I"m lucky because I haven't really experienced being with a talker in the theater. I go to the movies in the morning so maybe that has something to do with that, lol. However, when I'm at home I do like silence when I'm watching something. Especially if the movie needs your constant attention. [Xdrowninghavocx]
Thank you for your imput. [valeria1]
yes, there is nothing worse then getting really into a good movie then suddenly other person talks, and expect reply. Especially when that person has lost the plot of film or missed a bit and wants you to say what just happened and so on, but in order to tell them what just happened, you then missed the next bit yourself.. Another annoying thing is.. when other person say. o i remember this film now, so and so do this or that.. or even worse, suddenly tell you the end, just to prove they seen it.. o wonderful.. ''' Cheers, now i Not need to watch the film now i know the ENDINGG''' loool [mandykaren]
OMG OMG You are here favorite one. MaasK1 I agree totally with you and Mandy you can count on me also. I love to communicate also and have lots of good friends here and in Sencond Life. Sorry for this people who do not answer to you is really bad just here for the money is so sad. But I just keep going and I know I will find the best friends in here as I did in SL. [valeria1]
I hate it, because then I'm missing some of the movie. DVD is so great for that reason specifically, I can always go back and catch what I missed. [thelastwolf113]
I know is very very bad really and yuppie for the DVD! [valeria1]
It depends. lol If they are just whispering and I could barely make out what they're talking about, it's ok I guess. At least they're trying to keep it down. But if I could hear them clearly from at least 5 seats away, that's something else. I'd probably start to look at them. lol Sometimes, it really gets overboard. Talking continuously for more than 5 minutes is sort of my limit. I'd really confront them at that point. Especially if they voices can easily be heard over explosions and car sounds. lol [zeroflashx2]
LOLOL. This is funny hearing them through explosions is an absurd. I would really say something like you but much before that. [valeria1]
I think its terrible also. Movies cost $9.50 in my area and I should be able to hear the entire movie. Its not right when people ruin the movie when I miss an important piece of the movie because they are having a chat with their friend. I feel like telling them to leave and did report two people after these two people behind me wouldn't stop talking. I requested a refund and told all the people around me to report them. They were thrown out of the movie and I didn't get a refund, but was able to see the movie for the next showing without paying again. [Fishmomma]
I think you are right in reporting. People should put more ethics like you did in people that agree to follow the rules and then break them. Good for you! [valeria1]
Hi Val, Thank you for this invitation as always you have great things to ask. You know my opinion I love the same movies as you and you know how people bugs me by talking and walking while I watch a movie. [MaasK1]
You are always welcome of course gorgeous! [MaasK1]
usually i don't like it. but sometimes a small little quip that is opportune can add to the enjoyment of the movie. especially if there is a problem area. for instance, the actors hair keeps changing styles when the movie story line took place for less than a day. yet one scene the hair is fluffed up. then the next shot the hair is parted down the middle. the next shot the hair is parted at one side. you have got to say something after a while. LOL [greenglitterturtle]
very possible. he should have several and be prepared for every occasion. [greenglitterturtle]
It depends on the movie and the setting where I'm watching it. If I and the other people present have seen the movie before and we're watching it at home, then I don't mind at all if someone starts talking. Heck, I might make a comment or two myself! But if I'm going to see the movie for the first time at a movie theater, I'm much happier if people are quiet so I can watch it (though laughter and gasps and the like are perfectly okay if the movie calls for it). [stagewhisper]
I agree laughs are ok. LOL. But when I mention people talking is like having conversations about their lives. LOL. [valeria1]
Yeah,that is so borring,I hate those people talking to much during a movie.I can't get myself in the movie.It makes me feel angry. [fairyanny]
well,that is a good idea but I have just talked with that one who always speak during warth movie.She accept my suggustion and we can warth our favorite movies in a quite good atomosphere. Wish you have a good day. [fairyanny]
it is very annoying, you go to movies to watch a movie not to make friends and disrupt other people [lupercracker]
True. Maybe some people do not get that. [valeria1]
I hate people talking in the movie theater. There is a code of conduct that should be followed by everyone who pays admission to see a movie. I was watching the new Hulk movie a few weeks ago and this husband and wife were a row behind me chatting it up like they were in their living room. I gave them a few minutes then turned and asked to please be quiet. I'm that guy. By the way, rules you should always follow are: 1) No darn texting in the theater. People think they are so slick by hiding the phone low when they text. Obviously they aren't aware that it's really really dark in the theater and their cell phone looks like a star. 2) Unless the theater is packed you should never sit in front of someone or have to sit behind someone. I hate seeing grown adults sitting in front of kids at the latest Pixar flick. It happens. 3) The theater is not Mystery Science 3000. Please keep the "cool guy" comments to a bare minimum. 4) Bring kids to an R-rated film. I know some people think violence is less damaging to a kid than nudity and they will take their kid to see the latest Saw film or the latest Rambo flick. I just don't understand and I'm positive everyone in the theater is wondering why they brought their 13 year old. 5) Chew with you mouth closed. I know we can't see the food being run through your mouth like a cement mixer but we can hear it four rows back. Close the trap. Well, sorry I get a little carried away about movie etiquette. People need to learn some manners. So yes I mind if people have a conversation during my movie. [erikdell]
I agree with you in all aspects. And I think that maybe they should create a theater just designed for this annoying people. So will be like this: If you want to: talk, eat loud, have your kids screaming, use your cell, etc. go to room bla and have fun. Also the ticket should be more expensive just for thinking the theater is your house. LOL [valeria1]
I have not been to the movies for over 6 years. I just rent from Netflix because it's cheaper and I love it. I don't mind waiting for movies to go on dvd. If there's a new movie coming out in the theatres, I would put that movie in my queue and when it goes on dvd, I'll have it. I don't have to deal with stinky movie theatres that smell like urine, don't have to deal with cellphones ringing and people talking on the phone during the movie, don't have to deal with people talking to each other during the movie, don't have to deal with overpriced snacks and beverages, don't have to deal with not getting good seats, etc. Wheras, watching dvds at home, you'll always have good seats, you can fast forward, pause the movie- if you gotta go use the bathroom, go back if you missed a part, etc. It's not for everybody because some people love going to the movies while they're dating, while they're hanging out with friends, love the ambience of the movie theatres, don't mind paying for overpriced movie tickets, etc. [coolchic101]
I also agree that there are jst some movies that need to be seen on the big screen, no matter how wide a person's flat screen tv is or how big their computer moniter or plasma screen. I know when I went to see Transformers with my son, the big screen in front of us added to the whole experience of watching the movie, especially when Optimus Prime and Megatron went down. Another time my son and I went to see a movei with big reptules in it, really big ones, and I actually grabbed his shirt cause I got scared. [towongfoo27]
It depend of what movieas i am watching.If the movie is actually interesting i dont even want somebody talking while watching.Specially in the theater.And i dont really understand why people sometimes they are talking while watching in the theater.Thats irritate me a lot.Because i know they come there to watch not talking. My partner always doing the same thing everytime i am watching movie that i like.He tried to get my attention.I cant focus on what he is saying or what i am watching if somebody is talking w/ me.SO i asked every time to give me sometimes or talk later after the suspense scene is finish. Have a nice day enjoy watching... Greetings from Che! [chej18]
Hi Che thank you for your comment. [valeria1]
YES I MIND!! LOL rasp When I am watching something I want to watch, it is very irritating when I have to talk to another person. I just don't want to miss any part of the show. rasp [lordwarwizard]
Thank you for your answer I appreciate. [valeria1]
no lol I can't stand it. My father in law likes to talk during movies and it drives me crazy. My mom will talk through scarey movies. Trying not to jump when something comes out. lol I think its funny that she does that but even though I know why she does it I still would like to focus on the movie. [mflower2053]
LOL. So maybe the solution is not watch with father in law at all and keep the horror movies just for yourself. LOL [valeria1]
I do not like it at all. I can not withstand that somebody is talking to me during a movie or some other interesting show. I always want to enjoy, whatever movie or show I'm watching,to the fullest and that can not be done without full concentration. Any kind of talks,even if it is about the movie itself, break my concentration and that of course, irritates me. In such scenario, I usually try to avoid that person or simply ignore him/her. But if this is not possible, I may simply walk out of the theater. [suruchi86]
Wow! That is drastic walking out of the theater! But sometimes you do what you have to do! LOL [valeria1]
No, I don't like for anyone to talk to me during a movie. Some movies take all my concentration to just keep up with what is going on. Maybe it's because I have so many "Senior Moments", that I can't do but one thing at a time. :o) But I'll be happy to talk after the movie and usually love to discuss the movie with them. That works much better for me. [Nana530]
Thank you for your answer. [valeria1]
I am totally that guy who talks during movies. I dont go to too many movies but when I do i cant keep my mouth shut I guess I get so engrossed in the movie that I start talking at the screen my wife doesnt nudge to shush me and I have not had an usher come talk to me so i guess I am not bothering anyone I do not talk to others though just the screen [DAEARTS]
I heard about that before. It is very interesting! Could you please give me an example of talking to the screen? [valeria1]
It actually depends on what the person is talking about. Some of my friends talk about the movie that we are watching as we analyze each characters. Say for example it's a thrill or suspense movie and we ourselves are figuring out who could be the killer and anticipating the twists of the movie. But if someone talks to you far away from what you're watching, then that becomes very inappropriate and very irritating. Hehe! Cheers! [_Honey_]
Seems you have lots of fun in the movies. And I see your viewpoint. Thank you! [valeria1]
me too i love movie i like to watch movie like suspense and action movie and horror and sci fi my hobbies is watching movies i love too watch movie in internet i watch movie online its cool,and its free? sometimes if my friends them my time talk to me the movie can understands me because he talk to me? [ken18neth]
Thank you for your answer but could you explain a little bit more? [valeria1]
If anybody disturbs me during the movie I really think that what a stupid he is? and I am shout on them and tell them that don't make me angry. [PRIYANK1992]
I only watch movies at home on DVD so if it's IMPORTANT, then no, I can easily stop the movie and start it again once the conversation has finished but if someone is bothering me with something mundane like how did you like the weather today then yes it would really irritate me. Fortunately my husband feels the same way so I don't generally have to worry about that happening. [sagesunicorn]
Yes my husband and I are the same also. But I tell you I had bad times in the past with talkative ones. LOL [valeria1]
i think i'm guilty of this one. i always speak to the person i'm with especially if i like one scene. my boyfriend would ask me to shush so i shut up and then when another scene captivates me, i would talk again. it doesn't bother me much if someone talks to me unless i don't want to talk to him/her in the first place. [katerinabel]
Oh I do not want to go to the movies with you then. LOL. [valeria1]
I get irritated if it's a part where the characters are having a dialogue that I want to hear but other than that if you talk to me on unimportant parts I do not mind at all. [myahw20]
Thank you for your comment! [valeria1]
If I am so focus with the movie and I really like it, I avoid talking with someone, or refuse to talk when someone wants to. But sometimes. we couldn't help giving our ideas and opinion about the scene/ movie so I usually talk with my friend/ boyfriend. If the movie was so predictable, I would make fun of it by spoiling the next scene or situation.Lol, I like watching movies but I rather see the movie at home for me not to annoy anyone. Have fun! [aendzie]
My youngest does this to me all the time. I hate it. If he has seen the movie before he will sit there and I say I hate when this guy dies later. Or something like that. I can not break him from this habit. It drives me crazy. I need peace and quite so that I can concentrate on the movie. [zion45]
If I have seen the movie before, then it doesn't bother me. But if this is my first time watching, it does bother me. [sarahruthbeth22]
Well it really depends, if someone keeps on talking about what's going to happen then it would really be annoying. Also if someone is very geeky enough in explaining everything as it happens then it is really annoying because it removes the excitement in the movie. doh [magojordan]
Well, it depends if it's short. A lot of times I would even make comments especially if the effects are really nice. But I would mind if people just watched for the sake of "going out" with their partner. I don't know if it happens there, but there are a lot of people who look at watching movies as a chance to talk with their loved ones. What's irritating is you can actually hear them flirting with each other. Makes me want to roll my eyes and say "puhleeez!'. There have been instances when I had to call the attention of some people in the movie house because they were so noisy. They'd usually shut up after my monologue. rasp [rosedust82]
