View Full Version : Would you shut up and watch the movie?!

How many times you went there?
5 minutes into the movie, that one person goes: "Why did that happen?" "isn't that the person that was there before?" "is that the bad guy? Who is the good guy?"
10 minutes in "Huuuh this makes no sense, why is that happening? why are they here?"
then at the 15 minute mark the person stands up, never asks anybody to hold the movie or pause it. Goes to the bathroom, or eats something, or to the phone, comes back 10-20 minutes later and goes "what's happening?" "why are they there now?" "where is that guy? did he die? why did he die?"
...you know the type
Ever had to shut someone up while watching a movie or a TV show? Anything really... movie theaters also go.

I'm more bothered by a particular set of people who think they can watch a movie while surfing the Internets, reading a book, talking on the phone or sleeping. I mean I do some of those things without thinking sometimes, when I'm alone, and a movie fails to hold my interest. But what do you do when you're watching a movie with someone and they tell you to look at the screen because you're missing the best/important/cool part, and then keep telling you to look at the screen over and over every five minutes and would you like me to pause the movie while you catch up on your manga or maybe we should put on something else?

Nope never had to. Then again, I never watched movies all that often after I graduated from High School.

I have an aunt who, in addition to getting lost on the movie, also grabs the arm of whoever is closer to her and goes "WOW" or "yikes" whenever someone in the movie gets hurt or something incredible is happening.
I saw the first LotR with her. I missed half of the movie explaining it to her and/or going "stop it".

I have a friend who does this all the time. It's like he can't actually follow plotlines, at all. There again other times it seems he is trying to be genre savvy by pointing out what he thinks is going on, or who is going to die or whatever, but mostly just ends up being wrong genre savvy when those things don't happen at all.

That reminds me of watching those TV crime dramas. They'll get to the second or third suspect and I'll go, "It ain't this guy. It was that other guy." and they'll go, "How do you know that?" "Well, there are 20 minutes left in the show."
Growing up my mother would inevitably walk in on me half way through watching a movie, sit down, and go, "Who's that guy?"

Yes to both what Bells and Amake said. The latter bothers me a LOT. It's even worse when said person isn't doing anything besides watching the movie but, seems to be distracted by ANYTHING...or when that person starts talking to me about random stuff.
