Fight Theater?

March 06, 2012

Three words: Movie. Theatre. Etiquette.

If there's one thing that I enjoy, as someone who loves films, it's going to the movie theater. It's always nice to get out and see something great, but what isn't so nice is when other people feel the need to ruin the enjoyment. I think that any and all of us who love films and love going to the movies can agree that we don't need anyone disrupting the peace and pleasure of the movie theater. I mean.. don't we already have enough to deal with when it comes to the price for one movie ticket. We don't pay good money and sit there just to have other people ruin the whole movie-going experience. That's not what movie theaters are for. So I think we could all contribute (me as well by writing about it) in making the movie-going experience enjoyable as it should be.


Fight Club. Fincher, David. 20th Century Fox. 1999. Film Still.
 
If there's one thing that really makes me want to fight someone, it's when someone has the audacity to put their feet on the back of the seat, especially when they should already know someone is sitting there.  Either way, I went around and asked a few people what they disliked about going to the movies -- and here are a few of the responses:

1. Talking during the movie
2. Texting/having phone on (Spoiler alert: It is both distracting and annoying. Who knew?)
3. Yelling at the screen or talking to the screen
4. Bringing, more like, eating smelly and/or loud foods
5. Doing anything that disrupts the peace. Keep it peaceful people.

# All of the above, just being completely inconsiderate to others (which, in general, is an unfortunately huge problem in society).
                                 We all know better and if we don't, we should.


An almost full list of things not to do while in the movie theaters.
If I missed anything, feel free to post a comment. And remember when in the movie theater, or anywhere for that matter, violence is never the answer.
