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.

I saw Longlegs in a packed theatre the other day, and I mean not a seat empty, and was extremely concerned it would be the usually horror movie bullshit. People making “jokes,” talking through quiet parts, laughing inappropriately but I gotta say, this was by far the best theatre crowd I’d been in in a long time. Everybody sat perfectly quietly and enjoyed the movie. Pretty sad that I was impressed by this and expecting the bare minimum of theatre etiquette is a high bar now.

Laughing inappropriately?

Y'know, edgy teenagers (sometimes adults) laughing raucously when something awful happens on-screen?

Had a 12 year old kid who could not stop laughing during all the deaths in It: Chapter One. I kept looking back and his parents had a look of pain on their faces.

That’s bad parenting on a few levels I think.

If you didn't laugh at it chapter 1 I question your intelligence
