I get to sit in a cool, quiet theater for a couple of hours and enjoy a film. My only complaint should be sitting through the occasional dud. Usually, though, I only see a film in the theater if I know it&#8217;s going to be good.<\/p>\n<p>Recent trips to my cinematic oasis, however, have been accompanied by the unwelcome distraction of rude theatergoers. Sure, people talk before the projector starts, and sometimes even after the previews have started. Some even play on their phones throughout the previews. I can live with all of that. It used to be that, when the lights went down and the movie started, you could <em>feel <\/em>the anticipation in the room. Everyone went silent. But now\u2026people don\u2019t seem to care.\u00a0It\u2019s as if they think they\u2019re still alone in their living rooms, and they don\u2019t worry about offending or annoying anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>I applaud theaters for making the little commercials between previews on the fact that cell phone usage, illegal recording, talking, and littering are not acceptable in a theater. It\u2019s a good reminder, but it obviously doesn\u2019t click with everyone.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1690\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1690\" style=\"width: 528px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/louisearmstrong.com\/wordpress\/2014\/10\/02\/does-your-movie-theatre-etiquette-deserve-an-r-rating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1690\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/theater-etiquette\/theater-etiquette-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-1.jpg?fit=851%2C564&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"851,564\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D300&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1214133268&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;44&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Theater Etiquette 1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Source: Louie Armstrong&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-1.jpg?fit=851%2C564&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1690\" title=\"Theater Etiquette 1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-1.jpg?resize=528%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Theater Etiquette 1\" width=\"528\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-1.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-1.jpg?resize=768%2C509&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-1.jpg?resize=270%2C180&amp;ssl=1 270w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-1.jpg?resize=710%2C471&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-1.jpg?w=851&amp;ssl=1 851w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1690\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Louie Armstrong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My wife and I went to a movie once, and two ladies were sitting behind us who were unbelievably obnoxious. They were constantly talking to each other as if they were by themselves. About halfway through the movie, I was officially sick of them. I\u2019m normally a patient person, but this was testing me. I was working up the nerve to quietly say something to them, but my (exceedingly tolerant and introverted) wife beat me to it. You <em>know <\/em>it\u2019s bad if Cheree speaks up. They stopped talking after that.<\/p>\n<p>Another time, two older guys (who weren\u2019t sitting together) kept approaching one another as though they had some unresolved issues. When one would approach the other, the conversation would get a little heated, and then stop. About ten minutes later, the heated exchange would happen again. I mean, come on! If you have a problem with someone, either put it aside for a couple of hours or take it outside! Do you have to get half of the theater involved who are in earshot of your argument?<\/p>\n<p>The last movie theater experience I had was truly uncomfortable. About halfway through the movie, two kids in the front row started running around the front of the theater playing tag. On the one hand, their parents clearly failed to teach them how to act in a theater. On the other hand, maybe don\u2019t take kindergarten-aged kids to a movie that will run until nearly midnight.<\/p>\n<p>I propose two solutions to remedy these issues. One, hire a person to sit in the theater to look for these behaviors. Ushers who pop into the theaters every half hour are not going to catch everything. Instead, this hypothetical person would approach the rude people and tell them to either be respectful or leave. That would be fine with me. I would take great pleasure in listening in on that command and not feel like I was missing anything out of the movie. This person would be like an \u201cair marshal\u201d for theaters.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1691\" style=\"width: 593px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/wtf-london-theater-employing-volunteer-ninjas-to-confront-rude-moviegoers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1691\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/home\/theater-etiquette\/theater-etiquette-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-2.jpg?fit=4000%2C2356&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4000,2356\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Anthony Hunt&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1345572857&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;(C)Anthony Hunt&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;34&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;4000&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Theater Etiquette 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Source: Slash Film&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C603&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1691\" title=\"Theater Etiquette 2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-2.jpg?resize=593%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Theater Etiquette 2\" width=\"593\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-2.jpg?resize=300%2C177&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-2.jpg?resize=768%2C452&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C603&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-2.jpg?resize=710%2C418&amp;ssl=1 710w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-2.jpg?w=2340&amp;ssl=1 2340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ryansmoviecorner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Theater-Etiquette-2.jpg?w=3510&amp;ssl=1 3510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Slash Film<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another solution would be to install call buttons underneath the theater seats (perhaps with a delay to avoid accidental calls). Whenever there is rude behavior going on in the theater, someone, or hopefully the whole theater would join in to call someone into the theater to handle the situation. This may be wishful thinking, but I think it\u2019s worth a try. Perhaps a pilot program in a few select theaters. If it works, then it should be implemented in every movie theater.<\/p>\n<p>I read that theater attendance last year was at an all-time low. The article I read said that the rising ticket prices were the main reason for the low turnouts. It also mentioned that, regardless of what the attendees are doing, the theaters just need people in their seats. I think that\u2019s the part of the problem. I certainly don\u2019t want to spend $11 or more to be annoyed for 2+ hours! When a movie lover like me hesitates to go to the theater, something is seriously wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I want to enjoy movies as I used to and I want to share those experiences with my future kids. I also love movie date nights with my wife but don\u2019t want the night to be ruined by rude people who just don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any thoughts on this subject, I would love to hear them.
