According to Rottentomatoes.com, "Chicken Little" has grossed $80.4 mil in 2 weeks, while "Wallace and Grommit" has grossed only $54.3 mil in 6 weeks.
"Yeah, and you are the same people who let "The Iron Giant" flounder while making "Big Daddy" a blockbuster, aren't you? AREN'T YOU?!!"
Ahem. The above wasn't directed at anyone here, incidentally. Just frustrated.

The only thing that really makes me want to slap movie-goers is when they gasp at something obvious. I just want to yell "You should have known it was going to happen! It's just like every other movie in this genre!"

Babies. In the theater. I love babies. They do not belong in theaters.
Cell phones. In the theater. You, sir, are not *that* important. If you *are* that important, rent your own private theater.
This same principle applies to cars. If you are really that important, hire a chaffeur and yak all you want. And don't say you're one of those exceptions that can drive just fine while yakking. You *think* you're an exception only because you're paying too little attention to your driving to notice how bad it is.

Morons who clap/cheer in the movie theatre, especially at the beginning, end, and for previews they like.
They have ruined so very many movies for me, inluding but not limited to: Star Wars, LotR, Harry Potters 1-4, and Serenity.
I hate fanboys/fangirls/fanbabies. I hate them so, so much. Luckily, the ushers are on your side: I've gotten entire rows of clapping/cheering morons kicked out of theatres, and there is no greater satisfaction, even if it doesn't quite make up for having my movie-going experience ruined.

Clapping and cheering at a movie you've been waiting to see like Serentiy or Star Wars or LOTR is part of what makes watching midnight showings of said movies so much fun! Becuase everyone was waiting to see it and everyone's so stoked that its finally out, its like one big party! I love it when people do this. If you don't want em doing it, don't go to showings where they're likely to be doing it. IE midnight showings or showings on opening weekend. Wait a few weeks, so then you'll be seeing it with people who haven't been waiting for said movie since its announcement and aren't looking forward to an atmosphere of cheering clapping and general high spirited enjoyment.
But don't ruin it for all the others just cause you don't like that atmosphere, but weren't willing to wait for a showing where its not the expected atmosphere.
Now if you're talking about groups of friends who go to random movies and sit all in a row and sarcastically clap and cheer at a movie or yell dumb comments at the screen, then I'm with you. But that's sure not what it sounds like you're talking about.

I agree with Alcon. Clapping at movies is part of what makes a movie-going experience great for me. The entire audience is excited for the movie, and so they show their appreciation. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Nope, we're talking about the same groups of people - although I hate the ones that do the sarcastic clapping and commentary, too.
I look forward to those same movies since their announcement, and I don't consider it fun or entertaining in any way, shape or form to have to endure hordes of morons interrupting my viewing experienec with noise and movement. The way I see it, I'm not ruining anyone's experience by asking them to sit still and shut up: those are the theatre rules and, more importantly, the rules of common civility. I think it's much more reasonable to ask people who are being loud and obnoxious to be quiet than it is to ask the quiet people to endure disruption of their movie.
I almost never go to movies on opening weekend - fanboy-filled movies or otherwise - because common sense tells me that the rude people will almost always be out in full force, and it's not worth getting upset over. With the big ticket movies like Star Wars, however, every showing I go to has people like these: they're apparently inescapable.

Our local theater has a baby-friendly show every week. It runs during the day, the lights are kept up a bit. And they don't shush people. I think it's a great idea.

Dude they aren't being rude. That's the expected atmosphere in opening weekend showings. They're enjoying it and showing appreciation for it. They enjoy that atmosphere and so do the vast majority of other people in the theater. Why do you think midnight and opening weekend showings are so popular? Its the expected atmosphere at these showings and the normal theater rules for quietness are suspended for them. You're in the minority in disliking it.
And likely those groups in other showings are people who missed opening weekend but still want the atmosphere. I agree with you though that they are out of line. They missed opening weekend, they missed their chance. They should sit quietly and enjoy the show and let those who are expecting quiet.
But on opening weekend quiet is not the expected atmosphere, nor the rule. And you are in the vast minority in wishing it was.

Firstly, I think Wallace and Grommit looked stupid, and I went to see Chicken Little and thought it was pretty funny.
Secondly, I love midnight movies and I wildly clap and cheer at every one of the midnight openers I go see. I usually don't ever hear any cheering or clapping DURING the movie, just before and after it, and I don't really see how their excitement impinges on your viewing experience, they are usually quiet once the movie starts.
Thirdly, I talk during movies. I do it quietly, to the person next to me, and usually purposely sit far away from other people because I know I'm going to do it, but I do it. It's a lesser sin than YELLING at the movie, as I've seen many people do. But there it is.

There are some movies I'm more lenient with interaction than others. Wallace and Gromit, for example, was just that much more fun because of all the kids laughing and talking and running around. If someone were to do that in, say, The Sixth Sense, I'd have to break my foot off in their kiester.
I remember seeing Quentin Tarantino being interviewed on Jay Leno when Kill Bill was going to come out. He said that he wanted to give half of the tickets for the hollywood premier out to a bunch of rival gang members so that they could come in the theatre to yell and laugh and bust a cap at the screen, because that's the type of movie he was trying to make. The type of movie he remembered watching in the 'hood when he was a kid. The execs obviously wouldn't let him do that.
The point is that if you're paying a little bit of attention, you can tell what the filmmakers' intentions were with the film. Harry Potter was meant to be cheered for. The Passion of the Christ was not. As long as moviegoers are abiding by those rules, I think it's okay. If you don't ever want anyone making any noise while you watch a movie, save up your ticket money and buy a home theatre.

Now THAT is a brilliant idea. Now imagine if theatres were smart enough to endorse, say, 1-2 showings a week for movies like Star Wars specifically advertised as fan-fests, it would appease both groups: the people who actually enjoy the clapping and enthusiasm could be around other people who feel similarly, the people like me who want an uninterrupted viewing experience could have one, and rules applying to both variations would (ideally) be enforced.

I think it should be the other way around. People who want a quiet, uninterupted screening of a movie can go to special showings. I really don't think that 1-2 showings of a movie like Star Wars per week would actually be enough. There were 3 midnight showings of Star Wars in my movie theater alone. This is not including the rest of opening weekend.

I thought it was wonderful when a theatre full of kids started cheering and clapping as soon as Harry Potter came on the screen. It just shows how much the series is truly loved. I've been known to yell, "OMG YES!!" when a preview comes on that I've been waiting on for a long time. I've never had anyone get upset over it - maybe a few chuckles here and there. I think if someone cheers throught the entire movie (like this one guy during Lord of the Rings - he (quietly) yelled "Woooo!!" everytime someone got killed. Fyfe and Toretha were there, too. We were ready to murder the guy.) then it's rude, but clapping to show appreciation for a movie you love....I think it's great. It gets me excited in a movie to know that so many other people are just as thrilled as I am to be watching the film.

When I went to see HP last night we all clapped and stuff when the movie finally started after all the previews and that damn "20" thing. There wasn't a lot of clapping and cheering throughout it that was absurd though, it was like any other movie experience.

Because you are so incompetent that, if anyone paid attention to your amsterpiece, they would boo and hiss instead?
My pet peeve : People who comment on the action. Look, you idiot, we're watching the same movie. Either I understand what's going on, and don't need it pointed out to me. Or I'm as clueless as you are, and can't answer your question on what's going on. Shut up and listen, will ya?

Wrong. If this were the case, enforcement would be on their side, not mine.

If it were restricted to before and after, I'd just think it's silly, not irritating. The parts in particular that annoy the HELL out of me are when people clap and cheer in the middle of the film at moments they think are especially cool - e.g. Yoda busting out his lightsaber in Episode II. Yes, I agree, it's cool - but keep it to yourself. I find that I have to disagree, and the people who are loud and obnoxious before and after the movie are typically loud and obnoxious during the movie as well. Maybe I'm just unlucky.

In most instances, people who are talking in this way during the movie are smart enough and polite enough about it to do it they way you do: quietly, and with consideration for others. The people who will shout back and forth across four or five people, or who seem to think that they need to talk OVER the movie instead of simply moving closer to the person, are the ones who bother me.

I adore it when people cheer. At Harry Potter last night, when the title came up, there was a roar.
Also when Harry got into the bathtub. I was highly amused by 130 teenage girls giggling. And I am maintaining that it was only the teenagers.

quote:They do. I believe they're called "Midnight Showings."
And like I said, I specifically avoid those, since common sense tells me that they're going to attract the people who typically ruin my movie experience. Unfortunately, that crowd also seeps into every other showing of the movie until it closes - or at least, it has at almost every showing I've ever seen.

Suuuuuure it was. Personally, I was too busy being mortified that Daniel Radcliffe now apparently has a better physique than I do.

I remember when I went to see Star Wars the day after the midnight showing, there was a little kid who sat next to me with his dad. First, when all of the words scroll down at the beginning, the kid would read it loudly and slowly (And...Then...Pal...Palpa...what's that word, dad?) therefore making it impossible for me to actually read the words. Then throughout the first 10 minutes he asked constanly what was happening. I couldn't even ask him to please shutup because he was like 6 years old. Eventually, I switched to the seat on the other side of my friend, where I sat next to a couple of 20 year olds. The girl next to me seemed to think it was hysterically funny when all of the Jedis were being killed by the troopers and every time R2D2 talked it was a time to laugh loudly and annoyingly. That was the worst movie experience of my life for a movie that I was looking forward to.

That's what I thought too.
When the heck does Harry Potter have time to work out? Between his classwork, fighting the Dark Lord, Quidditch practice, a Tri-Wizard tournament, and being locked in his room at the Dursleys, there isn't a whole lot of time for hitting the magical gym.

Ahem... pulls out soapbox, steps up, settles and begins to discourse.
When I went to see Serenity every person in the extensive family behind me had the supervalue package that costs as much as a ticket and includes a XXlarge popcorn, drink and a candy of your choice.
At every quiet part I could hear them smacking away, not bothering to close thier mouths, wrinkling and rattling thier candy.
I don't understand how somone can be so completely unaware of the tremendous racket they were making.
Another maddening habit is asking what's going to happen next. Why don't you watch and find out? Because that's what everyone else is doing. And to boot, everyone else isn't making noise.
I'll second the children part. At Jarhead I saw no less than three infants as well as a troop of a family with five in between 7 and 15.
I've seen infants at showings of Serenity, Episode Three, Dawn of the Dead (attended under duress), and a number of other very loud and action packed shows that are almost sure to awake the infant.
Plus isn't the volume at movies just a bit over the top for sensitive young ears?
Even in the case of movies where subject matter and intensity might not be a factor, bringing your very young children to the theater is not very considerate of your fellow movie goers.
Cell phones. Sure, somtimes you forget, but on a number of occasions I've heard people actually attempt to carry on a conversation in the theater.
These are all capital offenses in my book punishable by beatings with wet noodles and expulsion from theater. Repeat offenders are to be banned from theaters worldwide for life.
In especially heinous circumstances such as smelly feet in sandals or flatulence the individual should be given a mandatory seven showing marathon of the Spongebob Square pants movie with each intermission enhanced by a montage of jar jar and anakin footage.
Steps off soapbox, gives it a good kick for emphasis.

I like to clap softly and cheer during movies. Especially at home so that no one will complain about it if I wanted to. I only dislike stupid movies that are OBVIOUSLY bad and small children making noise, sticky floors and really tall people sitting in front of me.

quote:and really tall people sitting in front of me
At 6'3", I always feel kind of sorry for the people behind me, though I don't know whether I qualify as "really tall". I try to kind of slump in my chair a bit, but there's really not much I can do about it in a standard theater. I usually deal with the problem by trying to stick with stadium-seating theaters.
PS- I share Sterling's first name, and as it's a very rare one in the States, seeing it on a post other than my own always makes me start a bit. I've only ever met three other people with my given name. I don't have the "tune out" reflex that people with names like John and Mary tend to develop.

When I went to see The 40-Year-Old Virgin some woman came in with her 8-year-old kid and sat right in front of me. The kid was playing the 8-year-old "ask a question about everything that is going on anywhere" game even before the movie was started. Half of me was mortified that anyone would bring a child to an R-rated movie, and the other half irritated that I'd have to be listening to that for two hours.
Fortunately the first scene involved an extremely graphic, profane and long-winded discussion of beastiality. After that, the 8-year-old problem kind of took care of itself. Posts: 2804 | Registered: May 2003

Besides, who can help applauding at the part in L of the R when they lit the beacons and that cool scene with the green light and that wooshing sound and the nazguls! I love that movie. Now if they were clapping during sex scenes or something going WOO HOO! SEX! YAEAH! GET IT ON!

We stopped going to movies at the Mann Plant in Van Nuys because we watched some movie (I forget what, not important) and everytime the hero had a "moment" (no sex scenes), the cholos in the audience were yelling out "Yeah! Get some!"
That theatre remains the only theatre we walked out of before a movie ended because of rude people. Different problem, though. At least we got complimentary tickets, and a front row seat to a fight between two girls in the parking lot. Girls fight brutal.

We always come back from the movies with stories. Ron really detested the 'fanboys' behind us when we saw Serenity, though it didn't bother me a bit. Just laughing at funny stuff, that sort of thing. Not long discourses on who designed the costumes.
My favorite recent story came after we saw March of the Penguins with Ben and Lindsay. Ben sat next to a woman and her high school or older daughter. At one point she said something like, "If I didn't know better, I'd say it sounded just like a bird." O_O

Fleur Delacour actually got boos from the cluster of teenage boys surrounding me. Apparently they expected someone more attractive. They also rated all the females in the movie and were loudly discussing movie vs. book as the movie ran. I told them to Stfu (I speak teenage boy fluently) several times, which didn't help at all. But that's what you get for going on opening night.
In all honesty...I gave Harry a little "ow owww! yeaaa!!" when he got in the bathtub. No shame, ladies, he's getting cuter every movie. It was the only noise I made the entire movie and I stand by it.

And all those complaints aforementioned explain why, when I still lived in Canada, I only attended matinees during the week. To avoid all that shtuff. And even then, I was still subjected to people having loud conversations on their cell phones, after much loud ringing, during the movie.
I'm noise distractable. I have a difficult time focusing on the noise I want to hear, ie the movie, and instead, hear the rest of the noise, ie the chattering and stupid comments. I wish people would shut the heck up when they go to a movie so I could enjoy it as well.
Now, however, I have to put up with Fahim interrupting the movie with this comment and that comment and his predictions about what's going to happen next to the point that I miss key dialogue happening in the movie. (We buy the DVDs, we don't go to the theatre. And he wants a plasma tv, which I veto due to costs and budgets and things being strained.) Somehow, he seems perfectly able to hear the dialogue while he's talking - I don't get it! And then I have to tell him to be quiet so I can hear what's going on, and would you mind pausing while you babble? And back up, I missed that part cuz you were talking so much! Shush, I wanna enjoy the movie already!

As long as people dont make noise (aside from laughing and such in apropreat places) they can wear what they want and talk befor and after the movie.
I really like it when people clap at the end of a movie. Despit the fact that there is no one to hear it, it a sign of aproval and appreciation of what you have just seen.

The very first bad experience I had with other movie-goers was The Sixth Sense, Aparently the person sitting 1 seat away from me had already seen the movie, but had brought his girlfriend (I'm assuming) and explained to her in advance what was going to happen just before every scene(because she was scared) until the pinacle when he revealed the ending 35 or so minutes before the end.
The second to worst was during LotR: two towers some family had their snacks in plastic bags and procede to munch away noisily, The "fanboys" behind me dissected every scene to compare to the book, and a child complained that he thought the movie was boring for 25 minutes untill his whole family had to leave.
I don't mind the cheering Before and/or after a film, I can let a little "woo-hoo" for your favorite character slide, laughing a bit too long at funny moments, a breif comment that doesn't spoil the plot, and if you can shut if off bfore 3 rings a cell phone doesn't bother me too much. And I still have had movie experiences just ruined by rude people.
This is why I have an extensive DVD library. I haven't wanted to throw someone out of the room my movie was playing in since my mother gave me a fifteen minute speech about how Hero was the most incoherent sequence of events she had ever witnessed. Thank you god for the dvd player and the pause button.

This isn't so much a movie-going problem as a friend problem. Everytime my friends and I sit down to watch a movie, they completely ruin it by talking. I'm one of those people that really likes to concentrate on movies when I watch them at home, but my friends all insist on having a conversation over the movie. It's really obnoxious to me.

I can't say it was one of the most enjoyable movie experiences I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the movie, it was the girl that was kicking his car, the girl that was propping her feet on my chair, and the girl to the left of us that was laughing and or giggling (think fangirl giggling-you know what I mean) LOUDLY and ever moment of the movie (at appropriate and inappropriate times), that ruined the movie for me. I finally had to lean over and *SHH!* her. I am never that confrontational.
It needed to be done. It helped for a brief amount of time. I am happy she was enjoying the movie, really I am. I just think it was excessive.
I honestly think there has never been a time that I've gone to the theatre and have had a flawless experience. I yearn for it. I just can't get enough of the big screen.

I got weirded out when we went to the midnight showing. But not by the fan-boys and fan-girls. Overall, the audience was a good one that night.
But there was this one moment...
When some chick behind me said, "Hey, I like your hair." In a nice way.
For a moment, I expected it to be followed up by a sarcastic remark. Nope, the tone of voice was genuine. I said, "Um, well, thank you." Sometimes, I want a sign on me that says, "Is shy around people she doesn't know."

When we went to see Two Towers, people actually moved away from us because we were joking around before they even began to play the previews. Jenny G was dressed as Frodo, and some of the others were in Ringwraith costumes or whatever. It was funny, because we were the quietest people in the theater when the movie started. I'd call it reverent silence, actually. Jenny did whisper a teasing question to me during once scene, but it was directly in my ear and no one else heard. Posts: 9293 | Registered: Aug 2000

When I saw The Constant Gardener, the venerable couple sitting next to me were rather rude, by which I mean that I felt like assaulting them, had they not been so clearly past their sell-by date.
Anyway, when the entered my row, I stood to allow them to pass. They thanked me by shouting "THANK YOU FOR NOT BEING AS RUDE AS THE OTHER PEOPLE." During the first part of the movie the shouted "I CAN'T HEAR, WHY DON'T THEY TALK LOUDER." I also could not hear, because someone was shouting "I CAN'T HEAR..." at the top of his voice.

I can't remember the number of people grumbling LOUDLY about TTT.
