Have you ever told anyone during a showing at the theater to shut up?

Have you ever told anyone during a showing at the theater to shut up?

Guy in my shop asked some annoying people to go that a few years back and got knifed in the neck as a result. I keep my mouth shut. Luckily I haven't had to deal with many annoying theater goers.

Yeah the bitch told me to kill myself, and kept talking.

the movie theater I go to is pretty strict, I've seen them kick people out for talking, so I've never had to worry about it

>not pouring soda on her head

I'm 6 foot and deciently built with a very commanding voice. The normal 'shut up' seems effective.

Once had a group of teens stand up and try to confront me when I was on a date. 3 rows up 2 buddies of mine were on dates with their girls as well. I was the smallest in my group of friends at the time. Never watched a group of kids leave a room so quickly when all 3 of us stood up. Seems high schoolers are the only ones who talk through movies in my area.

Only once. That's all it took.

you and your friends sound like a bunch of faggots

learn to stop taking yourself so seriously, throw jokes back at the kids or even chuck popcorn at them. you stood up and what you were going to back it up with? beating the shit out of a few kids? kill yourself.

>in my seat with my girl at the oriental in milwaukee for napoleon dynamite
>fucking faggots from the suburbs in the row behind me will not shut the fuck up
>casually lean back and say
Shut your fucking mouths.
>one teenage cunt snorts with contemptuous disbelief
>another somehow has the nerve to say
Dude, fucking relax.
>so i turn and grab the fucking faggot by the throat
>and i tell him
If I hear another sound from any of you, I'll shove something into your mouth at about 90MpH. It might be my fist, it might be my dick, but whatever it is, I guarantee you you'll never make another fucking sound again, you fucking bitch-made faggot
And then I watched the film in perfect and absolute silence.

>he doesn't passive-aggressively sneak behind them & toss chewed cum in their hair and down their seats

Haha no

People have guns in America

I only go to kinomas

>6 foot
Aw can I pat you on the hand little manlet?

Agreed. Us Europeans are best to just be the cucks to our American bulls.

>then I woke up

In 'Confessions of a Cineplex Heckler' Joe Queenan did a test for a week where he was an annoying cunt in a variety of cinemas, to see if anybody would tell him to stop. He's a big guy, but harmless. Most of the time people said 'shush', which he ignored. Art cinemas were usually silent. The only person who got in his face and screamed 'shut the fuck up' was a six six 300 pound black guy in a rap hat. He shut the fuck up.

Worth reading, I laughed.

*stands up with my other 2 friends*
"You were saying?"

My dad went apocalyptic on 3 teenagers at the end of Hobbit 3. He was an abusive dad and has a really loud shouting voice. My brother and sister were there also.

>be at theater watching Star Wars
>all of a sudden I hear loud talking behind me
>turn and glance back at them, don't say anything, just a look
>feel popcorn bouncing off my head and shoulders
>turn around to see two teenagers smirking at me, bucket of popcorn in their laps
>one asks me "do you always go to the movies by yourself?"
>I simply reply "I drive"
>squeeze one hand into a fist, the leather glove squeaking loudly
>they stare in stunned silence
>I get up and walk out of the theater while playing Nightcall out of my tinny phone speakers

My friend who was trained in Sambo almost got in a fight with a noisy spoiled teen at a theater. Me and the same guy experienced an empty showroom,we were watching Resident Evil 5 and then all of the sudden there was a guy with tourrettes who kept shouting random stuff at the film.Both of us laughed our asses off.Shit like this is pretty rare in Eastern European theaters.

>letting yourself get emasculated by high schoolers
>while on a date

I think saying anything at all *is* a direct approach — no need to be rude about it. Asking them to quiet down is usually enough. But I don’t think it is ever appropriate to say “shut up” at all.

It's like that episode of Louie where he gets punked by those kids on a date.

Never gotten into a comfrontation yet but Ive told people to shut up, thrown popcorn at people talking, kicked peoples chairs, and told parents to take their fucking children to another movie

>GB cinema, winter, cold, I have a virus
>gf forces me to watch the last lotr film
>it's garbage and goes on and on and on
>ten wanna ganster indian kids in the front row talking, texting, walking in and out and selling weed
>towards the end, guy literally behind me screams 'SHUT THE FUCK UP!! and throws bottle of water over twenty rows, hits one on the head hard
>great shot, throw of a lifetime
>he sits down
>they all jump up and start coming, looking at me, and him
>I'm not letting them take him out, but probably can't fight my way out of a bag in my flued up state, sigh, prepare to die
>literally fucking then five police crash through the door
thank you bolice

Was managing a theater at the time. Went across town to a different theater to watch Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. It was a full theater and there was a group of 6 14-16 year olds sitting in the front row causing a huge commotion. You could hear several shushes from the crowd for a while. Eventually they started playing musical chairs with their phones out all while screaming and giggling. I'd had it at that point. I got up, stormed down there, got all their attention and said, "If you don't put your phones away and shut your damn mouths right now, I swear I will personally kick you all out. Shut. The. Hell. Up!" The crowd of movie goers lost it. I returned to my seat amongst applause and compliments.

The kids never said another peep.

>And then I woke up

I've got a story from the Dark Knight Rises opening.

I went with a friend of mine and her boyfriend, admittedly, we had gotten there late, there were lines, long-story short: we got shitty seats in the front

In walk these 10 douchebags who fill the rest of the row next to us. Talking, shouting, generally being drunk idiots.

I thought they'd stop talking, and being dicks once the movie started, I was dead wrong. I think they got noisier.

Now, I'd go say something to management, who'd do nothing about it, I'd miss the movie, and that would suck. I could've said something to them, but I thought it wasn't a good idea either.

That's when I got a better idea.

Looking at the douche-nozzle next to me, I saw he was pretty wasted, even sitting in the seat, he had the drunken wobble. I pulled a cigarette from my pocket, lit it and blew the smoke right in his face. Knowing he'd ask me for one

Sure enough, he asked for one, I lit it for him, gave it to him, put mine out and simply waited.

Five minutes later, security and the theater staff walk in: "OK WHO'S SMOKING IN THE THEATER?"

Of course, drunk douche-nozzle next to me gets busted and ejected from the theater.

The rest of his cronies? Kept their traps shut for the rest of the movie.

I do it all the time

You're seriously stealing someone's story? Or is it you from the former thread?

I've never really had a problem with someone talking through a movie, but a guy was clearly intentionally kicking my chair when I saw The Force Awakens.

I honestly thought it was a 6 year old sitting behind me, and if that was the case, I wouldn't have said anything.

But when I stood up and looked at the row behind me, I was surprised to see it was a ~35 year old man. I said to him "I thought you were a 6 year old sitting behind me." He asked why, and I told him he was kicking my seat throughout the movie. He got super defensive and his wife or girlfriend walked away as if this wasn't the first time. I asked if he was going to apologize, but he refused to and walked away.

Not that great of a story but such is life

fuck you. i bet your one of the little shits that turns on their phones and talks during movies.

The first time I went to the Cinebarre in Seattle. It was a packed house, and there was a girl carrying on some monologue about some fight she had with "this bitch." She was still talking as the movie started, and when people tried to shush her she would respond with "shut the fuck up."

Within less than two minutes a manager came in with a security guard to eject the girl. Even did the classic "OUT!" with the thumb over the shoulder. The girl started trying to get everyone on her side, trying to insult the manager, calling her a "menopausal" bitch. Several audience members applauded as they escorted the girl out.

After the movie, the manager waited outside the auditorium with a free movie pass for everyone. Several people - myself included - thanked her for taking action. The Cinebarre made a fan that day.

If this is true, that's really fucking great!

I hate that I immediately thought this person was black. Was she black? I have to know. I'm so sorry.

That's definitely what you should expect at a movie theatre if someone is acting like a moron. Unfortunately such cases are too few and far between

*unzips dick*

who's the big guy now?

Me, *proceeds to bend you over*.

>I'm so sorry
No you're not. Why do you have to know?

Anyways it doesn't matter. Stop trying to justify your racism based on stereotypical profiling of others

went to see return of the king. my 3rd time seeing it. the entire time, a guy was behind me with a young child. the kid kept yelling at the screen, particularly at frodo. after a while id had enough. I turned around and politely asked the father if he could keep his kid quiet, as id paid to watch this movie. (not true, I was working at the theater and caught the movie after my shift) he more or less told me to fuck off and watch the movie. I gave him a "really??" look, turned to his son, and told him frodo dies at the end. he started bawling immediately, and I just got up and left as he sat there trying to calm the kid down, telling him its not true etc. it felt pretty good.

REAL HUMAN BEAN

I took my three younger cousins to a somewhat late showing of Monsters University (8:45, late for most kids). The theater was pretty empty, only two or three other families, until a group of 15+ high school students walk in. They start throwing popcorn at people, taking pictures with flash, being crazy loud and doing lots of obnoxious little stunts. I stood up and turned around to them and said, "If you all can't act as mature as the children this movie is intended for, I have no problem finding a manager to have you removed." They were quiet after that, and all my cousins told me I sounded just like my mother.

Then this past weekend, the boyfriend and I went to a late showing of Spiderman 2. A woman had four young children, two of whom were not only too young for the movie, but too young to sit still through a movie. The woman sat in one row by herself (these rows are only five seats per row), with the kids behind her. One of the older kids (5 or 6) gets up and goes to the door, then spends a good fifteen minutes just opening and closing it. This is an old theater, so the door isn't off some hallway, it's in the dead center of the back of the theater. Then another child begins running up and down the aisles, and they're all yelling and playing while the mom pays zero attention. Thankfully, I'm friends with an employee, so I ran out and grabbed him and he told the woman to either have the children calm down or they'd ask her to leave. After they calmed down, they all just dozed off.

Edited with a story I forgot.
