Depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Usually I tell them to STFU.

depends greatly on the film..........if you're in watching an adam sandler movie it's probably going to be fine if people are joking around, but if you are trying to figure out what the architect said or something like that then it's STFU or i'll do it for you time

When people talk...EF Hutton listens. Er, wait, that's not right.



When people talk, I stir uncomfortably in my seat. My normal response is whispering "Honey, Shh!"

Well, for one, I don't yell. If someone's talking is bothering me it's usualy because they are close to me. Secondly, I don't jump on them after the first word. I'll wait a bit and if they are actually having a conversaion I'll usually say, "Are you stupid? Shut up." So I have made sure that MY comment caused minimum disturbance compared to theirs.

I don't yell STFU, I quietly whisper it and they immediately stop...

I beg to differ.

I have no problem with someone telling someone else to STFU. I'd rather hear those 4 words than an entire conversation during the movie anytime.

The best is at the Alamo Draft House a local place here in Austin where you can get dinner drinks and movie. They have a thing that plays before the movie that says shut up during the movie or we will take your ass out.

One of the MANY things I miss about Austin. Man I loved that place... I only lived about 1.5 miles from the location on Anderson Lane. I went there all the damn time.

If they are smaller than me - Tell them to STFU *This is difficult for a guy (like myself) who's 5'6"

If they outnumber me by too many - Wait for someone else to do something

If they look like The Hulk - Ignore them

If they look like the Hulk, outnumber me by too many and smell badly - Leave

If the movie is bad, and I want to get my money's worth by watching the usher fight them - Go get an usher

If they are pretty women who are without a date - Agree with them
