Clo: I'm watching movies tonight.
Clo: Of course, it's with someone so we'll be analyzing it as we watch it.
Me: ... you talk about movies while you're watching it?
Me: You realize there is a level of hell devoted just for people like you, right?
Discuss people who talk during movies, and any other kind of people that are absolutely intolerable. What kind of people make you want to stab them repeatedly in the face?
Watching movies is a social experience. If not, then you're just sitting and staring at a box. Might as well start jerking off.
Your mom is a social experience.
You two are lovers, eh?
I'm with Clo on this one, if you wanna watch a film and take in every second, either go to a cinema, or watch alone.
I like watching films with friends, 'specially if it's a film we've seen before. :D
I expect better from you. :colbert:Quote:

You're too boring. You need to discuss themes, characterization and plot development as it unfolds. You need to SPECULATE on the importance of certain motifs. COME ON, people.
You need to shut the smurf up, make me a sandwich, and watch the movie.
You need to watch the movie alone in your mom's basement, which is more likely than your scenario.
Depends on the movie. If it's a mindless action movie, I sure as hell am gonna talk
I dunno who to agree with here. On one hand, I prefer watching movies without talking about it while I'm watching. But on the other hand, I don't mind doing that, as long as I've already seen the movie before. I'll never do that when watching for the first time.

Why not the first time? You can get a lot of good conversation in during transitions.
Hah, I didn't even think of that.Quote:

I only do this with Hux, but when we're watching shows that we really like to speculate, I'll often pause so we can discuss it in depth before going on. It adds such FUN to the whole thing.
Only after the first time watching, or if it's just a really smurfing dumb movie I'll start bitching. :p
Depends on the movie, yeah. If there's not much of a story to the movie, then why not talk.
But on the other hand I do like discussing how we think the movie is going to end. In fact, we were 6 guys watching a show and we brought open an excel sheet and noted down who we all thought would die next. Of course, we paused the show often. Nothing like a little friendly betting and wagering on who's going to get it next! I must admit that it sucks if we're actually dead on when it comes to the twist. Like with the movie Orphan, which is a brilliant movie, my friend blurted out something and it turns out that actually happened in the end. It should be noted he blurted out a lot of other options as well. I totally didn't see the end coming so it took some of the moment away from me. Still, discussion is fun!
>>> What a nightmare, people is annoying and movies are boring..:luca:
The French.
Some movies just aren't complete without a peanut gallery or mst3k dialog transpiring in tandem.
Hmm, the worst people in the world? Everyone is pretty bad; it's too hard to decide. :eep:
Well yeah but I feel a bit guilty when I'm watching Schindler's List and I get to my third wank.Quote:

And usually her inane comments or questions prevent her from following what's going on, so then she has to ask what so and so said or what they're doing or-
ARGH!
One of my best friends is almost as bad. I can't watch movies with them anymore. :P
I love discussing movies during them!
I talk with my friends during movies that are bad because it makes it more enjoyable. We sometimes like to mute bad movies and then replace it with out own dialogue.
There are people like my grandmother who are all, "Ah hell no girl don't go in there." That can be annoying hearing that through out the entire film especially when it's not even a horror or drama.
I don't like people who talk during movies or shows. I'm trying to watch.
But they're better than people who get uppity over stupid stuff. I can't stand people who get seriously bent out of shape over what browser you use or whether you say cuss or swear. Or if a sea-bear could beat a land-shark.
And people who ship het. Ewwww. It's two chicks or nuthin dude.
Only when you talk about a different movie or something unrelated like your cactus is it intolerable. :p
I pretty much hate anyone talking while I'm watching a movie, if I'm actually trying to watch and it's not some sort of drinking game.
I already asked him if they were married or gonna get married and he said no! UGHQuote:

I am in the right lane. A car is in the merging lane for the on ramp. I cannot merge left because another car is there. So I slow down a bit.
THEN THE STUPID MOTHERsmurfER I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE AN OLD GRANDMA YOU'RE STILL A MOTHERsmurfER ALSO SLOWS DOWN. Until she smurfing STOPS in the middle of the goddamn merging lane. And I don't know what the smurf the dumb bitch is thinking so I have to stop too because what if she just darts out now? And then I'm smurfing dead and she gets put in a goddamn home.
This.Quote:

That reminds me! What I hate the most on the road are the stupid smurfing impatient people that refuse to wait like everyone else does. Did you really need to change lanes, speed up, and cut in front of me? No you're not getting where ever the smurf you're going any faster, you're still behind a smurfing car. I wasn't going that slow just for :bou::bou::bou::bou:s and giggles.
It's usually at this point that I will change lanes and drive right along side them so that they can't merge lanes anymore. :mad2:
I love you so, so much, foa. I AGREE SO smurfING MUCH. I especially hate when I'm turning right or on a ramp with a guy in front of me WHO STOPS AT THE END OF THE RAMP AT THE YIELD SIGN instead of USING THE WIDE OPEN ACCELERATION LANE WHICH IS THERE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO STOP.Quote:

I can tell when people are going to do this and then I tailgate the person in front of me so they can't. And I PRAY that there is no room for them to merge in front of the person in front of me. So they end up having to slow back down and get their ass back in line. I don't road rage. But I maintain the peace and civility they're trying to destroy with their self-indulgent driving anarchyQuote:

I hate everyone on the road when I'm driving. I glare at them all and suspect no good in every direction.
I do this. I also yell, scream, curse, and damn every other driver on the road. I also freak out at pedestrians who think they can overpower my car with their legs and "legal rights". I will hit you. You will die. Don't smurfing walk out in front of my goddamn car, you idiot.Quote:

I think it's exciting to try to predict what's gonna happen
I'd do that, but I don't like tailgating in a large SUV or big-smurfing truck. :(Quote:

Talking during a movie can enhance the experience at times! If it's being watched in a social setting with friends, then it's a million times more fun. If the movie is in a theater then everybody needs to shut the smurf up now.
EDIT:
Also I hate it when I'm in a car and the driver is road raging. It's scary! Whenever I mess up do something that could cause someone rage I take a bunch of random turns away from where I'm going so I can make sure I'm not being followed by somebody who wants to beat me up :(
How do you say "oh smurf I just did that I'm so sorry" in car language? I usually flash the blinkers in that situation, but I'm always worried that it'll be taken as "yeah I just did that WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT."
WE NEED TO HAVE an EoFF caravan like in Smokey & The Bandit (and I get to be the Bandit) and basically just attack anyone who acts like a dick!
Jess, the best thing to do when you know you've screwed up is look at the other person and wave or mouth "Sorry" I think. But do you do stuff like we've talked about?
Are you smurfing serious? You want to TALK during a film? Who the smurf does that? Your pause button must be worn to the point the straight lines have disappeared from the button & now become one with your thumb.Quote:

Well, I know who I'm never watching a movie with.
Yeah, what foa said. XD I road rage unless the person waves or otherwise does something to look like they're sorry.
Geez, what's with all the road rage? I have to quote my dear friend Avril Lavigne here:
Chill out, what you yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see~
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
And you're talkin' to me one on one
That you've become
Somebody else
'Round everyone else
watching your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
People who talk during a movie is a :nonono:
I will no sooner I will take popcorn(or a steak knife) and whip it on their heads the next time they say "Man everytime Scarlet does a split, my boner rises..."
TARD I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR YOUR SEXUAL FANTASY WHEN I'M TRYING TO WATCH IN PEACE.....:hot:
Oh and don't get me started on the traffic here....Just don't....

I'll talk during a movie, but it's usually to heckle the :bou::bou::bou::bou: out of it. Large amounts of alcohol are usually involved.
I can usually gauge the style of viewer I'm typically watching a movie with. I don't normally watch movies to go all MST3K on them, but I'm perfectly capable of doing so when necessary. I'm not the type that just HAS to watch a movie one way or the other. If I feel compelled to say something and don't get a response of any sort then I know that I should stay quiet and let them enjoy the movie in peace. No biggy
My biggest issue is watching movies with people who fall asleep during them. Damn near my entire social group is this way. I don't know a single person who can stay awake during a movie. I've almost gotten to the point where I don't even want to watch a movie anymore. I rarely watch them by myself. I feel like I'm wasting time sitting staring at a box like Clo says. It takes a really rare movie these days to captivate me enough where my mind willingly shuts down and I can just sit, watch, and enjoy. My mind is too active. I usually watch stuff while playing on the computer. Or in a social setting. Which sometimes involves plot-driven conversations or heckling. And often involves the other parties falling asleep...

Usually I end up in front of the other driver, so I can't really look at them, and if I wave it might look like I'm flipping them off or something :(Quote:

Of course, if I've already seen the movie then I probably won't care much.
Never in the cinema, though.
I don't mind so much people talking during movies if it's kept to a minimum but what's worst is people KNITTING during movies. It makes me SICK. Sowing is a close contender, as well.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO WATCH A MOVIE WITHOUT KNITTING GOING ON.
Clo I will watch movies with you and we will speculate and guess the ending 10 minutes in and then cheer as we get it confirmed an hour later and then we'll have a burger and be blissfully happy.
You forgot to mention movie snacks :quina:Quote:

Possibly even worse than knitting during movies is BREATHING DURING WALKING. Oh, those walking breathers. They think they're safe. FOR NOW.
