Concerts are loud, the crowd should be loud too; but with movies, the watchers should be quiet and not so distracting.I don't mean the loud part, it's about going and experiencing something new together with like minded people. I could make some Gyros at home, but it's more fun to go to a festival in Greektown and walk around and have a communal experience. Of course one is loud and the other is passively watching, haha.The phone thing - Absolutely. Put them on silent. Talking - Yeah don't do that unless it's appropriate. Something cool happens "Wow" is appropriate. Something funny? Feel free to laugh. Shouting "what do you want for dinner?" at your friend across the aisle is not. Teeth sucking, yawning, Snacking, "Mouth sounds" are just like...life sounds.

Sorry, but I'm not the type that's going to stay silent and sit for 2 hours when I don't like the movie. I'm going to tell the people I'm with that I'm out of there. We can meet at Applebee's or that Chinese restaurant afterwards. Guess what? Usually if you think the movie sucks, other people think it does too. I also have no problem walking away from crappy food and I don't have to finish or drink everything because I paid for it. Sunk costs fallacy is the dumbest thing in the world.
I do somewhat miss movie-going in America. Laughing all together because everyone gets the jokes. Or better yet, cheering during certain awesome moments in movies. It feels a bit lonely when everyone doesn't get the same references or jokes that are made, and you're the only one laughing or being amazed.
Like I mentioned though, I rarely watch movies at the cinema, or at home, they lack everything that anime and games have

I want my place full, but not so packed that you can't get to the pisser easy enough. People should be into the game. When it's the last play, everyone should be quiet in suspense or be cheering their butts off, but they should be in it.And if you're in Korea and it's say, the Olympics. Go to a Korean place with Koreans. Enjoy the atmosphere. Don't go to some foreigner bar. WTF is the point of traveling halfway around the world, to be in a country where they're the host nation, to then try and avoid it. Like seriously, why did you come here? That's the kind of thing you want to experience. If I'm in Brazil and they're hosting the World Cup, I want to be in the spot where all the Brazilian fans are. Same if I'm in Egypt or France or Canada. You want to cheer with the locals and share their misery if their team loses.You expect people to be quiet for a two hour curling match?Nope, where did I say that?

Movie sucks, goes to Applebee's.
1. If you don't like the movie, that's your opinion. As you are entitled to that, it doesn't mean that others feel the same way. A majority of the other people in the theater could actually be loving what they're seeing.2. If you are gonna be noisy during a movie, it's not the movies fault because it sucks in your opinion, it's just you being inconsiderate. It's disrespectful and inconsiderate for everyone else trying to watch. If you want people to know you think it sucks, their are plenty of places online for that, but I'm pretty sure you've found them by now.
Yeah, says the guy with well over 4000 posts on here. Your time is precious.
That must be annoying to the complete strangers to the immediate sides of you.
Who are you talking to here? Who mentioned any behaviour of the sort?

I get laughing because something is funny, but cheering?! to me that's just as bad as talking during a movie; but to each their own.
Agreed. It's not a football game. The actors cannot hear you.

The actors cannot hear you.I'm more referring to moments in movies, let's say a new Marvel movie or some big franchise, where a character makes a dramatic reveal or does something that nobody was expecting and for that brief moment there is pure excitement among the fans in the theater. I.e. When Ant-Man he first showed up in Civil War. My theater applauded, and it was a genuine moment of excitement for everyone. I personally like those moments, as long as they aren't an overreaction to whatever's going on. (It was a bit painful watching the 2014 Godzilla, where people were cheering for literally everything that Godzilla did).
The best time to tell me my 11:35 class has been moved to 8:50?8:55, apparently.I really should be used to this sh!t by now.
