There is a certain group of people that have rude theater behavior ingrained in their culture.

Its unbelievable how 99.99% of the issue is with one group.
I know right? Hollywood nailed on that poster!

Bringing your baby to the movie. Some couple brought their baby to one of the Endgame showings I went to and I thought the crowd was going to burn them at the stake.

That thought would never even cross my mind. I'd be miserable myself if I had to bring my 4 month old to the movies.

We brought our newborn daughter to see The Hunt for Red October. She lasted two seconds before my wife took her out of the theater. We were young and dumb. My awesome wife let me see the movie and then was waiting for me at the end. She said the theater manager asked her why she was leaving, and when she explained he gave us free passes for being nice enough to remove our screaming kid.

Saw A Quiet Place in Shreveport and there was a group of about 6 or 7 idiots that wouldnt shut up talking.

They were black, about 15 minutes in this big white dude on the front row got fed up and turns around and yells at the top of his lungs "SHUT THE F*CK UP!!"

They still didnt shut up. The white dude proceeds to cuss them out at length until they finally shut up.

I mean the one movie this had to happen in was A Quiet Place. Completely ruined the movie.

It’s why I try to see everything in a Dolby theater if possible. You can’t see the people sitting in front of you. Not an issue unless they’re talking loud.

I would rather be trapped in a theater full of people on their phones than be stuck behind one person that tries to purchase, scratch, and redeem lottery tickets in a convenient store.

Two fat black ladies got in a fist fight during infinity war, in a nice suburban theater. I wasn’t even mad... it was awesome.

I believe these people are more commonly known as frickheads.

It just amazes me how little people care about others. The last movie I went to see in a theater a few weeks ago--Grease, for Christsakes--this old dude and his old lady kept checking their phones and texting. And since they were old, it took them for-fricking-ever to complete their little phone activities.

People talking through it. Respond to the screen..thinking they're funny and clever.

This happened to me. I could not fathom how they decided to bring an infant to a three hour long movie. Thankfully within the first 15 min the dad realized he had made a mistake and left.

I don't see the point in seeing any movie nowadays unless it's in one of those Dolby theaters with those bad arse chairs.

The theatre I was in was a Dolby. Normally I'd recline the seat all the way back to where I couldn't notice what people in front of me were doing. But, my chair was broken; wouldn't recline. The whole experience was a horrible cluster of suck.

Stuff like that doesn’t bother me. I’m generally too locked in to the movie to really care about what other people are doing.
