Going to the movies, inconsiderate people talking and screaming kids

People talking through a film at the cinema

Noisy people and babies at the cinema

Why do people take very young babies to the cinema? I went to see Pirates of the Carribean 3 and Spiderman 3 recently. On both occassions parents brought in kids that were far too young to be there really.



Why is it that people are no longer capable of sitting in a cinema for the length of a movie and keeping their mouths shut? They think they're sitting in their own living room and proceed to talk all the way through the movie.

28-6-2007I agree on the chill factor! I actually asked the security what I did about loud rude kids and he told me to tell them straight away and they would be evicted from cinema - this was at a multiplex as my local independent cinema, which I had been going to for years, closed about 3 years ago - a ve...morenettie
28-6-2007Umm yes, probably one of the most annoying things on the planet is having some twit chatter all through the movie and even worse when they give the plot away. Hate that especially. I'd also be inclined to mention the big fat head sat in the seat front of you that doesn't seem to care that ...moreTony
28-6-2007In my experience, kids are not the problem, it is adults. I very rarely go to a movie that is less than 15 certificate, although I shall be going to see the latest Harry Potter (can hardly wait!). However, the number of times that I've had to move seats to get away from incredibly rude adults!...morealaneroberts
