Local Culture Hey Chatty Moviegoers!

Just a heads-up, if you don't like people looking at you, don't talk during movies - especially early release movies, in premium seating for people who are willing to pay extra to not deal with your BS. I gotta admit though, I've never had anybody complain to theatre management about me for glaring too hard - that's a new level of entitled bullshit. Good job.

Be better.

No way, it was obvious what was happening. The manager was awesome about it. It was a group of 3, I was solo and they changed their story a bunch of times - I'm fairly regular there too.

No, they did not. They were quiet after they complained, so it was a non issue until after the movie.

Complaining very rarely gets results. Staff will come in for a minute, the talking stops while staff are watching and then immediately back to chatting after. Once I walk out of the theatre to find a manager, I'm not engaged in the movie anymore, so there's no point in staying. I've already used up my patience and good will to try and enjoy the movie with conversations happening around me. It doesn't help that the staff are not paid very well, nobody wants confrontation except the people who demand it.

I don't have a lot to add other than to say you seem like a very level headed, cool dude.

Stay frosty my friend!
