Damn. Apart from being loud he pulled his phone out and tweeted about it in the middle of the movie. Tsk tsk typical
theFinks
Had to leave the theater the 2nd time I watched it because a group of people were using their cell phones as light to see the food they 1/2
snuck in. This was after I had already shushed them. Oh and they weren’t black. Ignorance has no boundaries.
groundcontrolto
Black Panther was one of my worst cinema experiences in a while. People talking, checking phones, taking selfies, moving seats repeatedly.
youcancallmesusanifitmakesyouhappy
Alamo drafthouse is amazing for this reason, shut up or ur out is the rule there
zioy
Love the preshows and peanut butter shake there
MayorDeweyMayorDewey
seeing a movie in theaters is a fucking experience that should be respected. your ass talks your ass is getting shushed.
and if it aint a kids movie for the love of god please leave the kids at home.

Have you seen a movie in theatre? It gives off enough light that I know if the rando sitting next to me has a herp-mouth.

"Oh I'm not persecuted, I'm just an asshole."
ohnoofcourseyourright
Why are they on their phone in the movie? That bothers me as much as talking.
officialgifpolice
The first time I saw the second Guardians of the Galaxy with my sister and boyfriend, some guys were pointing a laser st the screen 1/2
It was really annoying and they were making eye contact with us and doing it just to piss us off. After complaining a bunch of times 2/3
A staff member finally saw the laser and kicked all 5 of them out. Expensive theatre as Well, so it was extra satisfying. 3/3
LordScrublord
I had zero problems when I saw black panther. It was a decent movie, I was entertained and the audience was considerate of others. Wtf?
TheFastpaws
If you weren't black in my area you stayed away. It was made clear you are not welcome.
TheThingsTheyCarried
I had a different experience. Wasn't too bad, but the black members of the crowd wouldn't stop talking.
MericanNightmare
That's why I skipped opening weekend lol. It's a shit show for any hyped up movie
wekilledbambi03
Guy next to me asked two women to stop talking (granted a little rudely). One threatened to call her boyfriend so they could “pop shit off”
spetamelam
Here in South Africa it was a very lively crowd when I saw it to say the least, but I don’t think anyone was trying to be inconsiderate.
ikagawa
There was a guy in my theater that kept checking his phone. My experience doesn't invalidate yours or the guy in the picture.
Same until some douche 3/4's of the way through started planning his ride home.
JakeEnglishx2Pistol
Same here, everyone was chill
SaticoySteel
I had zero problems as well, it’s just a normal movie. This kid kept checking his snapchat, other than that there was no problem
Mack1986
For real though. The amount of audience calls is and cellphone calls taken was fucking insane

Must be a shit movie
djsdkdjsk
its kinda weird how literally every other commercial is about cell phones and people just do it anyway
ShoppingCartRodeo
I've had to walk out of movies and be that person who gets a refund because the entire theater crowd was loud as fuck in unison.
It was a horror flick and during the suspenseful build ups, they were whooping and hollering and then screaming when a jump scare happened.
and did they scream for like 10 minutes straight, cause i hate that, i do get a scream but not when they continue screaming.
They did. I was with friends watching "You're Next" there wasn't a quiet moment. I couldn't even hear the movie...
bdawk202020
No, there's a person in the movie theater telling you to stop being an obnoxious asshole & let people hear the movie they paid for. No color
mrread55
The color is black. As in when the lights go down and it’s hard to see anything else but the film because of the lack of light.

Blacks are racist.
ironfang69
Someone really dumb once said "Blacks can not be racist because they have no power, they can be prejudiced but not racist"
plaguegremlin
You see, this used to be true, but not anymore. Now there is just more reason for them to be racist.
leonbloodbane
Whites, Asians, Indians, everyone is racist
Dubszero
Lots of Natives are too. Understandably so in my opinion.
chardlz
Asians especially. Well, they're more blatant about it in my experience
Raileks
lmfao "Everyone's a racist. Especially those Asians."
Definitely ironic but culture is a bit different in Asia where blatant racist comments aren't hushed so it comes off differently than here
TotallyNotADogInTrenchCoat
Especially if they don't know that you can understand their language. He'll Hispanic people are the same way.
somewhatwiseguy
Hispanic people are super racist I don't speak the language but my sister is fluent and has gone off on people for talking shit about me in
edofm
How so? They didn't riot in the streets with Tiki torches tho
AzzyBedlam
Because they don't have to. In many Asian countries xenophobia is just part of life, no one even looks down on it.
Oh wow. South Africa being stupid again. I'm so proud.

Black people are notoriously loud at the movies
jsktrogdor
1/2 To be fair: Certain movies are better with a loud audience. I saw Grindhouse twice, once with a mostly black audience and once with a
DaddyLike
I saw that movie twice in the theater, as well. I wish I could replicate that experience again.
2/2 white audience. The movie was exponentially better with people screaming at the screen. But that's kind of the point of that movie.
Mankytoes
People reacting to the film loudly is genuinely ok. It's more people having their own conversation or being on their phones that sucks.
MattyPatty01
In general, people who use their race to excuse their shitty behavior are just shitty people.

Excusing shitty behavior yea, but if you wanna complain about doing 5 for an ounce of weed when Brock Turner does months I’ll listen to that
And no you cannot avoid egregious misapplications of justice by not committing crimes.
I mean I've been harassed by cops too and I'm white just happen to be really poor and have bad acne so I look like a meth addict
CairoLen
Now imagine how much worse it would be if you were black.
Elaan21
In my experience it comes down to whast type of person society sees as trash. Always poor, but race depends on area. Urban = typically black
Rural = meth/"trailer trash" It's the demographics of poverty
That’s an anecdote. Studies are conclusive on the effect of skin color in conviction and sentencing
Criminologist Can confirm.
I'm not disagreeing just saying that skin color isn't the only factor the way you look dress etc also can factor in discrimination seen
TheseAreMcSqizziesNuts
Some dude yelled at the end of my movie "Wakanda forever." I'm like, he does know it's a fictional place, right?
FiveShiftOne
There's a movement rallying around the movie for its representation of African culture. Wakanda to them is the idea of a black paradise.
I can get with that.
escalinci
Lots of people did that with Avatar too and that wasn't even a good movie!
That's just weird. I get escapism but that's just going a bit far for me

Oh, yeah, the Tolkein white guy!
Supernerdtastic
I mean first shows gets cheers and applause for moments but extremely brief (aside from the ragdoll scene in Avengers xD) but yeah. Shaddap
That's fine. But like, it wasn't a moment that had been built up to or needed that kind of emotional response. She was literally the only
one clapping at a fairly innocuous scene just because one character was black and the other was white
they hoot at him to shut him up. I didn't even hear what he said to Freeman's character because she was clapping and I was trying to stop
her so she wouldn't bother the other guests in the theater. I used to work there and it would've been so embarrassing to get told off by my
old co-workers. Especially since it was only our first date. If we go out again, I'm definitely not taking her to see another movie.

You can play whatever card you want. If you are an asshat, I'm gonna call you out on it.

Penguinsandbroadswords
My brother is autistic. He's also an asshole. Apparently I'm not allowed to call him out on being an asshole, that makes me a "bad person".
KoalasArentReal
I've done after school programs with a bunch of autistic kids. A lot of shit behaviour is from people afraid to get angry at them ever

I literally had a black employee play the race card simply bc I wrote him up for fucking up our product inventory. He quit the next day bc

I don't get why some people hung on this movie like it was the comming of Black Jesus. The character was created by a white guy. The
Mikeiller
"A white guy?" How about two Jewish World War II veterans. They knew a thing or two about racism and oppression themselves.
Nuggzs
Created by a white guy, yes, but modern writers are often black who do a lot of research into African culture. Movie reps a lot of Afro cul.
Which blacks in America are so in tune with & made sense for any isolationist nation.
2) orchestration by a Swedish dude who went to Senegal and lifted sounds from an actual renown Senegalese musician (with consent). The movie
3) isn't even that good. It's sad when your so in need of an identity that you project your whole heritage on a Marvel/Disney vehicle. It's

I agree with you completely but that movie was fu ckin great.

SayonaraSally
Haven't seen it but literally every other Marvel movie is 0 star utter rubbish; I can't possibly see this being that different.
What I meant by 'wasnt that good' was more compared to the hype. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It's in my top 5 Marvel movies
4) the worst kind of irony. The sad one.
We sure are lucky we have Spookyactionatadistance to tutor everybody on the acceptable way to hold a race identity. Clap, fuckers. Clap now

It's not really "American cinemas" as much as those frequented by a certain subset of American society.

Which subset? This happened a lot during the Force Awakens. I didn't really care because the movie was louder.

Don't go opening weekend. After that tell em to quiet down or fuck off. Theater mgmt should back you.

If me and my wife have both seen a movie I like to talk about it during it. Obviously not for something new to either of us and only at home
PirateFroglet
I know I said out loud This is a Tide ad, after the dude came out of the sand wearing white. Nobody laughed.
DavidBrooker
Sometimes its fun to run your commentary throughout the movie. The polite thing to do is to do so on your couch at home.
2020Gamer
Or go to the latest showing two weeks after release so you can get the whooooole theatre to yourself. Talk and sing away. Did it for Moana.
TicoGuy
And Tweet during the movie that you are probably also talking through
yes but don't laugh or scream for 10 minutes straight, so no once can hear it
Sutashi
Went to a movie and this girl behind us kept screaming and laughing. No break. Like one line was simply "Hi how are you" and she started...
started laughing like it was the funniest joke ever told. It got so bad her date told her to shut up or leave.
yes, those people who laugh for minutes straight at something that's not funny in the least.
Snooj
The last time I saw Zootopia in the theater there was a girl who tried to say as many of the lines as she could along with the movie.
After the movie I was tempted to tell her friend that it was really sweet of her to bring someone mentally retarded to the movies.
Probably an autistic kid. A lot of them do a thing called scripting. It's really hard for them not to. And yes, annoying for the rest of us.
I thought it might be that, but there were some hints that she was just annoying. For one thing, she was with someone who appeared to be 1-
her own age, not a parent. And halfway through the movie she got up to go get something at the snack bar by herself. 2-2
My autistic daughter could do both of those things, easily. She doesn't script though.
giraffesarecoolarentthey
Cuz you paid 8 dollars to go see Poseidon, and it wasn't really that good, and you're on a date, and you try to make her laugh
vixiecat
That’s such a turn off.
If you wanna talk with a date don’t go to a movie go to dinner, movie is just spending time together
Yes dinner with her and her two cousins would have been a blast. This text limit makes it very hard to extrapolate the whole story, silly me
Forgetting the Imgur Lynch mob flies off the handle, knowing full well they aren't going to get the whole story, from a 140 word comment
No we get it. There was only your group there & you didn't sit together. The point is if you no longer wanted to watch the movie you...
Ask her if she wants to finish seeing the movie, and then you go on from there
So because you payed money to see a shit movie and are so dull that you can't think of a better date option, you get to ruin others time?
Hmmm town of 1,396 people, a sixteen, and a 15 year old with no driver's licenses, jobs paying 5.25 an hour, not a lot of options
I live in a small town so I get that. But its incredibly rude and selfish to talk during a movie. You paid to watch it? Others did too.
Yes the whole 5 of us. Literally me,her,her cousin, her other cousin, and his girlfriend
Also there was me, her, her cousin( that we got the ride from) her other cousin, his girlfriend, and their friend. That was the audience
And we sat well away from them so as not to ruin their time

You need to not go to movies with that person. And if they ask why, be honest. "You talk during the movie."

WinchesterTavern
Unless you're trapped in space with several small robots, that's inexcusable.
I hope you only watch movies with him at home. Or make him wear a ball gag at the theater.

He gets mad if we see a movie without him can't figure out why we do this.I just take my dad he loves movies good or bad he has a good time.
"I'd like to invite you along, but you talk during the movie."

Action movie, definitely. Even worse is this is an almost 2 and a half hour long action movie. That's forever for an infant.

Black is the combination of all colors combining on a surface. White only contains all colors if its white light.

I'm definitely not racist, but it's been my theater-going experience that all the loud ass people were ALWAYS black. 100% of them.
Eh, it's been plenty of white people in my experience. Probably depends on demographics.
Fahargo
Probably just has to do with a certain culture. In some areas black people fill it in others white.
I agree, in my experience it's always the black people. But for future reference, "I'm not racist" is always read as "I'm a huge racist."
Cathy Newman would definitely read "I'm not racist" as "I'm a huge racist".

SnarkyOstrich

Blze001
You can tell because he's ignoring the comments that point out theaters themselves tell people to shut up when the movie starts.
pygmypufftrampstamp
They literally have PSAs at the beginning of the movie asking people to turn off their phones and shut the fuck up so everyone can enjoy.
Why should people leave the theater simply because they don't want to watch the film with the audience making a disturbance?
Maybe the people making the disturbance should keep that shit at home and not in a theater
So youre saying it's part of black culture to be a loud, obnoxious, asshole at the movies and everyone must bend to your will at a theatre/
either that or 'hey you went to a place you knew would be loud and then complained like a precious snowflake' but hate on i guess
/which is typicially filled with people from a wide variety of cultures... the majority of whom, are not loud, obnoxious assholes???
UncomfortableTruths
Imagine being privileged enough to think skin color (and subsequently the life you come from) has no bearing on the meaning of what you say.
Skin color does not dictate the value of one's words. To think otherwise is racism.
If you're not willing to read about very basic facts of how life works for folks of color, you have nothing to add to this conversation.
Saying skin color does not dictate the value of someone's words does not discount the differences different people face in life. The 1/2
Value of your words comes from your character. Not what color your skin happens to be. To say your black you don't get an opinion 1/2

So skin color should have bearing on what you say?
Your color has a big impact on whether or not you will be forced to contend with various systemic problems, at least in the US. It's not (1)
a secret that non-white folks face a lot of hurdles that white folks don't. White folk don't commonly have to worry about whether or not (2)
a police officer will shoot them for basically no reason. Black folk learn pretty early on that they HAVE to be careful around police if (3)

Wait unless I’m misreading the situation if I am I apologize, I understood it as sarcastic, saying that blacks are loud.

When i went to watch Thor Ragnarok there was a white dude in the middle section who laughed like a demented monkey at every tiny joke...
There's always that one prick who laughs super loud at all the not-funny jokes in the movie.
Tamerdinosaur
Which is sad, because thor ragnarok had bad jokes.
Clitastrophe
I know a guy who laughs frequently and loudly in theaters. But I think he knows it because whenever he took me to the movies he arranged it
-so we were the only ones in the theater, it was really nice. I don't like theaters anymore unless they're mostly empty. I'm spoiled on it.
knightofthehokeypokey
...he arranged it so they were empty? Like you only went to old movies in old theaters or he bought out the place?
like holy shit man. So i ended up missing half the jokes in the movie T.T I just wanted to share my grief :(

"Oh I'm not persecuted, I'm just an asshole."

Why are they on their phone in the movie? That bothers me as much as talking.
officialgifpolice
The first time I saw the second Guardians of the Galaxy with my sister and boyfriend, some guys were pointing a laser st the screen 1/2
officialgifpolice
It was really annoying and they were making eye contact with us and doing it just to piss us off. After complaining a bunch of times 2/3
officialgifpolice
A staff member finally saw the laser and kicked all 5 of them out. Expensive theatre as Well, so it was extra satisfying. 3/3
LordScrublord
I had zero problems when I saw black panther. It was a decent movie, I was entertained and the audience was considerate of others. Wtf?
TheFastpaws
If you weren't black in my area you stayed away. It was made clear you are not welcome.
TheThingsTheyCarried
I had a different experience. Wasn't too bad, but the black members of the crowd wouldn't stop talking.
MericanNightmare
That's why I skipped opening weekend lol. It's a shit show for any hyped up movie
wekilledbambi03
Guy next to me asked two women to stop talking (granted a little rudely). One threatened to call her boyfriend so they could “pop shit off”
spetamelam
Here in South Africa it was a very lively crowd when I saw it to say the least, but I don’t think anyone was trying to be inconsiderate.

There was a guy in my theater that kept checking his phone. My experience doesn't invalidate yours or the guy in the picture.

I had zero problems as well, it’s just a normal movie. This kid kept checking his snapchat, other than that there was no problem

djsdkdjsk
its kinda weird how literally every other commercial is about cell phones and people just do it anyway
ShoppingCartRodeo
I've had to walk out of movies and be that person who gets a refund because the entire theater crowd was loud as fuck in unison.
ShoppingCartRodeo
It was a horror flick and during the suspenseful build ups, they were whooping and hollering and then screaming when a jump scare happened.
djsdkdjsk
and did they scream for like 10 minutes straight, cause i hate that, i do get a scream but not when they continue screaming.
ShoppingCartRodeo
They did. I was with friends watching "You're Next" there wasn't a quiet moment. I couldn't even hear the movie...
bdawk202020
No, there's a person in the movie theater telling you to stop being an obnoxious asshole & let people hear the movie they paid for. No color
mrread55
The color is black. As in when the lights go down and it’s hard to see anything else but the film because of the lack of light.

You see, this used to be true, but not anymore. Now there is just more reason for them to be racist.
leonbloodbane
Whites, Asians, Indians, everyone is racist
Dubszero
Lots of Natives are too. Understandably so in my opinion.
chardlz
Asians especially. Well, they're more blatant about it in my experience
Raileks
lmfao "Everyone's a racist. Especially those Asians."
chardlz
Definitely ironic but culture is a bit different in Asia where blatant racist comments aren't hushed so it comes off differently than here
TotallyNotADogInTrenchCoat
Especially if they don't know that you can understand their language. He'll Hispanic people are the same way.

1/2 To be fair: Certain movies are better with a loud audience. I saw Grindhouse twice, once with a mostly black audience and once with a

I saw that movie twice in the theater, as well. I wish I could replicate that experience again.
jsktrogdor
2/2 white audience. The movie was exponentially better with people screaming at the screen. But that's kind of the point of that movie.
Mankytoes
People reacting to the film loudly is genuinely ok. It's more people having their own conversation or being on their phones that sucks.

In my experience it comes down to whast type of person society sees as trash. Always poor, but race depends on area. Urban = typically black

Rural = meth/"trailer trash" It's the demographics of poverty

That’s an anecdote. Studies are conclusive on the effect of skin color in conviction and sentencing

I'm not disagreeing just saying that skin color isn't the only factor the way you look dress etc also can factor in discrimination seen

Some dude yelled at the end of my movie "Wakanda forever." I'm like, he does know it's a fictional place, right?

There's a movement rallying around the movie for its representation of African culture. Wakanda to them is the idea of a black paradise.

one clapping at a fairly innocuous scene just because one character was black and the other was white
Andalite
they hoot at him to shut him up. I didn't even hear what he said to Freeman's character because she was clapping and I was trying to stop

her so she wouldn't bother the other guests in the theater. I used to work there and it would've been so embarrassing to get told off by my

Created by a white guy, yes, but modern writers are often black who do a lot of research into African culture. Movie reps a lot of Afro cul.

I guess it's appropriate if it's a talkie.

That's why I only watch traditional silent movies.
whattasteslikepurple
I like to talk during movies, but I go to the drive in where no one can hear you. I keep my mouth shut in theatres.

If me and my wife have both seen a movie I like to talk about it during it. Obviously not for something new to either of us and only at home
PirateFroglet
I know I said out loud This is a Tide ad, after the dude came out of the sand wearing white. Nobody laughed.
DavidBrooker
Sometimes its fun to run your commentary throughout the movie. The polite thing to do is to do so on your couch at home.
2020Gamer
Or go to the latest showing two weeks after release so you can get the whooooole theatre to yourself. Talk and sing away. Did it for Moana.
TicoGuy
And Tweet during the movie that you are probably also talking through
djsdkdjsk
yes but don't laugh or scream for 10 minutes straight, so no once can hear it
Sutashi
Went to a movie and this girl behind us kept screaming and laughing. No break. Like one line was simply "Hi how are you" and she started...
Sutashi
started laughing like it was the funniest joke ever told. It got so bad her date told her to shut up or leave.
djsdkdjsk
yes, those people who laugh for minutes straight at something that's not funny in the least.
Snooj
The last time I saw Zootopia in the theater there was a girl who tried to say as many of the lines as she could along with the movie.
Snooj
After the movie I was tempted to tell her friend that it was really sweet of her to bring someone mentally retarded to the movies.
CairoLen
Probably an autistic kid. A lot of them do a thing called scripting. It's really hard for them not to. And yes, annoying for the rest of us.
Snooj
I thought it might be that, but there were some hints that she was just annoying. For one thing, she was with someone who appeared to be 1-
Snooj
her own age, not a parent. And halfway through the movie she got up to go get something at the snack bar by herself. 2-2
CairoLen
My autistic daughter could do both of those things, easily. She doesn't script though.
giraffesarecoolarentthey
Cuz you paid 8 dollars to go see Poseidon, and it wasn't really that good, and you're on a date, and you try to make her laugh

That’s such a turn off.
leonbloodbane
If you wanna talk with a date don’t go to a movie go to dinner, movie is just spending time together

Yes dinner with her and her two cousins would have been a blast. This text limit makes it very hard to extrapolate the whole story, silly me

Forgetting the Imgur Lynch mob flies off the handle, knowing full well they aren't going to get the whole story, from a 140 word comment
Sutashi
No we get it. There was only your group there & you didn't sit together. The point is if you no longer wanted to watch the movie you...
Andalite
Ask her if she wants to finish seeing the movie, and then you go on from there
LegendInMyOwnMind
So because you payed money to see a shit movie and are so dull that you can't think of a better date option, you get to ruin others time?
giraffesarecoolarentthey
Hmmm town of 1,396 people, a sixteen, and a 15 year old with no driver's licenses, jobs paying 5.25 an hour, not a lot of options
LegendInMyOwnMind
I live in a small town so I get that. But its incredibly rude and selfish to talk during a movie. You paid to watch it? Others did too.
giraffesarecoolarentthey
Yes the whole 5 of us. Literally me,her,her cousin, her other cousin, and his girlfriend
giraffesarecoolarentthey
Also there was me, her, her cousin( that we got the ride from) her other cousin, his girlfriend, and their friend. That was the audience

And we sat well away from them so as not to ruin their time

Try parents who bring a baby to a romantic restaurant with adult themed decor, late at night. There is a whole lot of wrong with that.
LogicalAbsurdities
Who brought their baby to Hooters?

As a new dad. I know having a newborn means I don't get to do certain things. Instead, I wait for it to be on Netflix in 6 months. The end.

Netflix is s godsend to parents of youngins.

Well, that's because you are a considerate person, but sadly most are not.

imagine thinking that someone's skin colour should have any bearing on whether or not you respect their polite request to be quiet

I saw it opening weekend, there was one black dude talking and 20 minutes in a black woman told him to shut the fuck up

I'm sure the tweet was joke about how white people in general are. Did you not catch that?
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
B-But it was a white person...
Spfeel
Imagine that black people generally make comments during a film so maybe it was never a race thing. The joke is meant to be ironic.
PossibleSarcasm
This movie belongs to black people. If you go to see it, you are basically entering a black person's home. Have respect!

I feel like you just summed up my irritation with the comedian trope of portraying white people as polite. "Black people be rude as hell!" -

If you mix all the paints in a palette do you get white?

Neither is a color (both achromatic), and both black and white can contain the whole spectrum depending on the system you're using
Zan11
And neither are actual human skin colors
Damiankai
Black is the combination of all colors combining on a surface. White only contains all colors if its white light.

I once told some black teens to please be quiet during a movie. One of them wanted to confront me but I pretended i had no idea what he (1)

I'm definitely not racist, but it's been my theater-going experience that all the loud ass people were ALWAYS black. 100% of them.
Elaan21
Eh, it's been plenty of white people in my experience. Probably depends on demographics.
Fahargo
Probably just has to do with a certain culture. In some areas black people fill it in others white.
AzzyBedlam
I agree, in my experience it's always the black people. But for future reference, "I'm not racist" is always read as "I'm a huge racist."

Cathy Newman would definitely read "I'm not racist" as "I'm a huge racist".

Correct you can continue to be an asshat if you choose, and hopefully get kicked out

True. But one should not ridicule based solely upon race. That there my friend, is racism.

Accepting cultural differences does not mean tolerating people being obnoxious assholes. Shut your fucking mouth at the movies.

it literally does in this case, and hey maybe fuck off out the theatre if you don't like it?

Just so I’m sure we’re on the same page... you think being loud in a movie theater is a “cultural difference” ?

Are you genuinely fucking braindead? YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LOUD AT A THEATER YOU PATHETIC WASTE OF DNA.
IllusivePanda
You're not supposed to be loud in a theater, they even tell you beforehand on screen if you're too dumb to remember
arumunus
I worked at a theater for eight years. Lobbies may be loud but the auditorium where a movie played was expected by most everyone to be quiet
SnarkyOstrich
Low quality bait
Blze001
You can tell because he's ignoring the comments that point out theaters themselves tell people to shut up when the movie starts.
pygmypufftrampstamp
They literally have PSAs at the beginning of the movie asking people to turn off their phones and shut the fuck up so everyone can enjoy.
idkalan
Why should people leave the theater simply because they don't want to watch the film with the audience making a disturbance?
idkalan
Maybe the people making the disturbance should keep that shit at home and not in a theater
DonnieDangles87
So youre saying it's part of black culture to be a loud, obnoxious, asshole at the movies and everyone must bend to your will at a theatre/

either that or 'hey you went to a place you knew would be loud and then complained like a precious snowflake' but hate on i guess

/which is typicially filled with people from a wide variety of cultures... the majority of whom, are not loud, obnoxious assholes???
UncomfortableTruths
Imagine being privileged enough to think skin color (and subsequently the life you come from) has no bearing on the meaning of what you say.
Fahargo
Skin color does not dictate the value of one's words. To think otherwise is racism.
UncomfortableTruths
If you're not willing to read about very basic facts of how life works for folks of color, you have nothing to add to this conversation.
Fahargo
Saying skin color does not dictate the value of someone's words does not discount the differences different people face in life. The 1/2
Fahargo
Value of your words comes from your character. Not what color your skin happens to be. To say your black you don't get an opinion 1/2

So skin color should have bearing on what you say?

When i went to watch Thor Ragnarok there was a white dude in the middle section who laughed like a demented monkey at every tiny joke...

There's always that one prick who laughs super loud at all the not-funny jokes in the movie.
Tamerdinosaur
Which is sad, because thor ragnarok had bad jokes.
Clitastrophe
I know a guy who laughs frequently and loudly in theaters. But I think he knows it because whenever he took me to the movies he arranged it
Clitastrophe
-so we were the only ones in the theater, it was really nice. I don't like theaters anymore unless they're mostly empty. I'm spoiled on it.
knightofthehokeypokey
...he arranged it so they were empty? Like you only went to old movies in old theaters or he bought out the place?

like holy shit man. So i ended up missing half the jokes in the movie T.T I just wanted to share my grief :(
