How are we going to get people to shut the fuck up in cinemas?
I’m not being old here, ok? I go to a cinema, right, and I sit there because I want to watch the film. I don’t want to hear people chattering away on the phone, do I?
I don’t get it. I mean, I realise that kids will keep their phones texting away during lessons at school, but that’s ‘cos they are forced to be there and are bored. As they get older and get jobs – and yep, I agree, work is boring as well and nobody would seriously go to work if there was another way of getting the money! – they still never switch off.
But, surely, you go to a cinema to enjoy the experience of becoming absorbed by the actual film. You are there not because it’s compulsory, but because it’s exciting, and you want to sit back and watch and listen to the experience. How can you do that and sit there chatting on your phone about stuff not related to the film.
Indeed, if it’s not the phone it’s a nice chatter with the person accompanying them. I could forgive hushed whispers about the film like “Who’s he?” “Is she the same girl that killed the guy earlier?” if a little help is needed in getting back into the plot if a person’s blipped out. However, it’s not is it? It’s long and loud conversations nothing to do with the film.
Ask them to shut the fuck up and what happens? They look at you as if it’s you who’s doing wrong by wanting to actually hear the film.
Something needs to be done to silence these people who use cinemas like some kind of social club or pub where they meet for a chat rather than watch the film. Can we have them killed please?
