I get that some people are church quiet even when the commercials are on, but seriously, I think of the movies like people thought of the theater. I pay a lot of good damned money to be there, and to be entertained, and not by some asshole who thinks he's the next Jerry fucking Seinfeld.
Also, get off your fucking phone, that bright light is just as distracting as your keypad beeps. Leave your fucking kid at home, or walk out of the movie. You have a kid, a whiny snot nosed kid that cries. You do not still have the same rights as the rest of us, and you're not entitled to stay there just because you paid good money like everyone else. It's called responsibility. You had the choice to have the kid, you deal with the consequences, and one of them is that if your kid starts crying you just lost 20 bucks for the movie. Sorry, better luck next time.
Finally, get your fucking feet off the back of the seats, especially when someone is sitting in front of you.
I intentionally got myself an infraction for Hannukah. But mostly cause I was annoyed at D&D being inaccessible and not entirely endeared with being forced to celebrate a holiday when I wanted to talk about Doctor Who or whatnot.
I know crowds. I know how to work with a crowd, and how to work a crowd too, and I have a pretty good head for when some public behaviors are acceptable and others are not.
It's a thing you get a sense of as you watch the movie, and sometimes it doesn't go the way I like it and rather than trying to force it, I just leave. I've walked out of bad movies before because the crowd either didn't think it was as bad as I did, or weren't the sort of folk who react to bad movies that way. That's okay, I'll just head out rather than sit there biting my tongue.
However, people aren't universal and even if most of the movie was laughing and clapping and snarking along with Daybreakers, I'm sure some people weren't and were probably really annoyed that other people weren't being reverent of the sacrament of Their Ten Dollars.
In that case, those people can leave. It's a crowd experience, and if you don't like the crowd, rent a DVD.
Wait, are you saying that if there are a few people in the theater that don't like your jokes, but the rest of the people do, then they can leave? Or are you saying that if you can't make your jokes during a shitty movie you'll walk out.
Just curious?
I'm saying if the crowd is being raucous and sarcastic at the movie and cracking wise and laughing at and so on, then that's the crowd. If that annoys you, leave.
If I would like it if the crowd was that raucous at this bad film and it isn't and that's diminishing my enjoyment of the movie, then I should leave. And, as that has happened sometimes, I have! My buddies and I have walked out of bad movies because nobody else seemed to really think of it the way we did.
If one guy in a cinema full of people laughing and wisecracking stands up and shouts at everyone else to shut up, he's about as big of an asshole as one guy wisecracking in a theater full of people who are trying to quietly watch.
It's mob rule, like I said. It's a crowd experience, and if you don't like the crowd, get out and watch DVDs.

No wait. Now I don't get it. Is there something to get about the avatars?

You weren't forced to celebrate a holiday. You could have gone to some other forum or done something else.
I intentionally got myself an infraction for Hannukah. But mostly cause I was annoyed at D&D being inaccessible and not entirely endeared with being forced to celebrate a holiday when I wanted to talk about Doctor Who or whatnot.
i didn't. i was having fun drawing a rabbi...
it was worth the infraction in retrospect. after all, you can draw a rabbi for a day, or fondly remember an infraction for a lifetime.

I have no other forum, and I did go and do other stuff but it lasted too long, I grew impatient
So, what Drez is basically saying is "Fuck how everyone else feels about the film, I, Drez, get the right exclusively to determine the appropriate behavior at the cinema and if everyone else in the crowd is enjoying the film via laughing and snarking at it, they are wrong and I am right for insisting they are silent so I may enjoy the film and ignore that they exist".
Drez, you are pretty enormously self-centered on this subject.

It's a movie theater. Not a Pony be a dick show. The don't say "Quiet please, unless everyone else isn't being that quiet, in which case you can be less quiet". I don't give a shit how much the crowd is into it. If you want to be loud, you buy the fucking DVD and do it at home. Let the people who paid the movie theater to watch the movie watch the fucking movie.

Well, it's not like theater has a complicated set of rules. It's : Hey, shut the fuck up, and make the sounds appropriate to your level of emotions. I didn't know there was a subclause that allows to you completely ruin somebody's night, because you don't think it's OK for them to enjoy a certain movie.

Yes well that's your own fault, Echo. You did use the word "rimshot" incorrectly, after all.

it just says 'private' when i look

This man called it.
Not that it's a particularly hard thing to predict but this was the first message I read in [chat] today so it was funny.
was he thinking of rimjob?
incidentally, my wife uses this at all sorts of inappropriate times. like margaritas. apparently the salt on the glass is called a rimjob in wackoland
