So do you talk during a movie or do you have to have complete silence?

[diabeticman]

I will admit I am a talker. My wife hates it! She loves quiet. I can't help but repeat a line I think is funny or awesome. Have no problem asking my wife a question but it drives her up a wall.

So are you a talker or listener or are you like my wife --want to silence the talker?

1. When HE can't help himself, I pause the show ...

until he has run out of things to say.

[MiddleFingerMom]

2. A short, quick question or statement if NECESSARY... nothing that interrupts the flow of the movie

[winter is coming]

3. If you were my husband, I'd be a widow.

I'm especially cranky if it's a movie I'm seeing for the first time, when I don't know what I've missed.

[Aristus]

4. That's YOU, diabeticman?

How many times do I have to tell you to SHUT UP!?

But seriously...

I'll talk through a movie when I'm at home. In the theater, not a sound, other than appreciative laughter or other emotional reaction. But providing a running commentary through the whole thing? No...

[dr.strangelove]

5. Neither

I don't like constant talking, but I expect reactions to films. Laughter, surprise, sadness, joy, anger ... are all okay, and expressions of these reactions verbally is fine with me too. The first time my wife and I saw the recent rendition of Les Mis, we both talked during certain scenes to each other as we were feeling all sorts of emotions. When we watch The Walking Dead, we do the same thing. It is not constant chatter, nor is it complete silence.

However, repeating lines from a film one has seen often while viewing said film with a person who has not seen it is a huge "no no" and will get you physically removed from the location.

7. "Physically removed" with extreme prejudice!

9. You shouldn't lead people on, silly

You know that egregious offenders are only sent to Cinemarkmo.

6. I love audience reaction when a movie is fresh out.

I hate discussion, otherwise.

This is what happened during the Twilight movies. I came to the party late and I was shocked to hear all the teens around me talking about the picture as it was happening.

Didn't get it that it was probably the sixth time for many of them that they had seen the movie.

[Xyzse]

8. I like quiet, but I don't mind a quick comment now and then

When watching, I tend to be quiet other than the reactions.
No discussions till the end of the movie.

If I were to watch a movie with any one, I will not watch a movie with them again if they keep asking me questions every minute. That would irk me, and is a quick way to go to my "stay away" list.

10. Quite if I haven't seen it. OK to talk if I've seen it before. Example: My sister ruined the cooked

rabbit scene for me in "Fatal Attraction" because she inhaled this huge, loud breath - and gave it away that something bad was about to happen. So I didn't get the "shock value" of that scene.

Sometimes talking can be selfish to the other person - they either miss the dialog because of your blabbing or you give away the plot. So, the rule is - think of the other person when you decide to talk or not to talk.

11. Are we at home or in the theater?

In the theater, my SO and will occasionally chat quietly until the previews are over. Then complete silence.

At home, we say very little, but there is not a "no talking" rule. An occasional short comment or two during the course of a whole movie. That's about it.

Unless we're watching "Shameless" or "Californication." Then we are often laughing so hard we have to replay scenes to see what we missed.

[talkingmime]

12. Depends on the movie. It's either laughter or "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" - depends on the movie.

[kudzu22]

13. Don't be that guy

I don't think it's too much to ask that people STFU during a movie. If you're at home, a word or two during a lull in the action is ok. Otherwise, you'll be staring down the business end of a hissy fit.

[MrSlayer]

14. Shut the hell up during the movie.

Few things are more annoying than someone talking over the show.

[Callmecrazy]

15. What I hate...

is when something happens during a scene and the girl I'm with starts asking, "why did he do that? What does that mean? "
As if I know. It's my first time seeing the same film. How the hell do I know what's gonna happen?
And seeing a cell phone light up is the RUDEST thing in a theater. Take it outside.

[Skittles]

16. I WILL KICK TALKING DIABETICMAN ASS

SILENCE, PLEASE!!!

[walkerbait41]

17. MY wife is blind

There times when I have to tell her what s going on when no one is talking in the movie.
I talked a lot with the movie Avatar

[GentryDixon]

18. I cannot sit still during a movie

while at home. It drives my hubby apesh*t, so we quite watching together years ago.

He gets totally absorbed, I on the other hand, hop up & down if I think of something that needs attention. It takes me forever to watch a movie. My bad habit is surfing the net while watching. Thank you Netflix. I can rewind whenever necessary.

[Honeycombe8]

19. I make an occasional whisper, when I have something I think is noteworthy to say or comment on.

It's noteworthy to me...I doubt it is to my friends. I try to watch that.

I might say..."Oh, I see...I bet he was in prison." When I guess something. Or..."Do you recognize her? She was in Maude."

My friends occasionally do the same. But they're minimal, and always a whisper. It doesn't seem to disturb anyone else.

[harmonicon]

20. It depends on the movie, the location, the company I'm with, etc.

I'll never talk in a theatre, but sometimes I can talk all the way through a movie at home if that seems to be the vibe.

[Initech]

21. Depends if I have seen the movie or not.

If I haven't and I'm watching at home or I'm at a theatre - silence!!

If I have seen it then by all means talk as much as you want.

[IrishEyes]

22. Listener

I hate to talk during a movie. I need quiet. The occasional short whispered comment or question is okay during a non important scene. I like to save talking about the movie to when we go to dinner afterward. If I'm home watching a movie we have both seen before then I will talk to my friend.

[politicat]

23. Depends on the movie.

Something brand new, in a theater, that's not a pop-corn flick? Silence, please.

A rewatch at home? Half the time we're both repeating lines or MST3King.

[Rowdyboy]

24. My last few-"Lincoln", "Avatar", "Brokeback Mountain", "Fahrenheit 911" really weren't

the kind of movies you want to jabber through (or listen to anyone else's jabber). And the audiences at all 4 films were remarkably respectful. Of course the only time I go is weekdays in early afternoon at least two weeks after its been released so its really not much of a problem.

25. The voices in my head will drown you out
