Personally I feel like anyone who speaks in a cinema should get scalped, and if they don't learn their lesson from that, they get an acid bath. Really people?! Is it so hard to be quiet for an hour and a half? If the movie's that boring to you, you can leave, the door probably isn't locked. I paid for my ticket to hear the movie, not your redundant shit. It really is a BIG pet peeve of mine, and I hate the fact some people I personally know, with whom I've clearly stated how I feel about it and still don't f***ing do it every time. GAH!  |

If it's a bad movie and you want to make comments, go for it, just keep it to 12 inch voices.
Talking about your own shit though, no, keep that out.

I'm not a huge fan of it either, but I try to go to earlier showing so there aren't as many people there. Either that, or just wait until it's been out a few weeks so people will be seeing newer releases. If I'm going with friends, I'll usually chatter a little bit, but I try to keep quiet. Basically, I went with the 2nd choice. If there's a little bit of noise, I don't mind too much, but anything more annoys me.

I don't mind it so long as the people are whispering and not speaking at mic-less lecture volumes.

I didn't pay money to listen to other moviegoers.

Once this fat man was talking so loud and obnoxious that I stood up and changelled him to a duel. I received an ovation from several other moviegoers.

Find an Alamo Drafthouse, they have a STRICT policy against people who talk and text.
If there isn't one around, tell them to be quiet or you will eat their dog (trust me, it works).

Eh I'm fine with it, as long as they're whispering. I find cell phones way more distracting, especially because the wife and I tend to sit in the back row.

There is a special place in hell for those who talk at the theatre.

I went to an Alamo Drafthouse in Austin earlier this year during RTX. I loved the experience, but unfortunately finding something similar has been challenging. |

I don't like people talking in theaters. However on a few occasions I had to.
In this occasions I accompanied a cousin and some of his classmates. This was when he was going to a School for the Blind, and I had to describe the movie to some of them.
However, in these cases the theater was mostly full of his classmates.

It depends on how long the talking is going on. If it's two people and one is like "I'm going to the restroom, did you want anything from the lobby store?" and the other is like "Yeah, a Coke and nachos please!" That's fine with me. If the conversation keeps going on and on "What kind of nachos?" "Spicy" "Oh, those are my favorite!" "Yeah, I love them. Once I got these nachos and..." blah blah blah, then it's time to tell them to shut the f*** up.

It's not as aggravating as texting during a movie, but I definitely hate it. Just shut the hell up, it's not that damn hard.

It's unacceptable for the most part, unless it's a quick, few second conversation like "I'm going to get a snack, do you want one?"

As the great Bill Hicks once said (I'm paraphrasing): an actual, real miracle isn't child birth itself, it's raising a kid who doesn't talk in a movie theater.

I hate it.
The UN should pass a resolution for the entire world banning it
Every country on Earth will agree
