Lately it's been every movie I go to I get a few people that won't stop talking during a movie. Yesterday had one guy sitting two seats over from us leave his phone on loud, and when it rung instead of switching it off, he actually proceeded to answer it and have a conversation on it with his high pitch voice. Then I had a couple infront of me that would not stop chatting, my gf was getting so annoyed that I finally clicked and told them to shut up or leave. What would you do?

If I were in your situation I would .......... make up better stories ........ most everyone here has been to Thai movies a number of times

Go to the earliest showing.

LOL ........ that cracked me up dude

You should have taken a roll of duct tape with you and a sock. (Several socks if lots are talking) Stuff a sock in the offenders mouth and bind his now silent pie hole and head to the seat he is sat in. Continue wraping layers of tape down the torso and finish by firmly attaching the arms to the armrests.

For the perfect finish, pour the miscreants drink in his lap and garnish with his popcorn.

What was the movie?

You can hire this on entry.........................

It can be very annoying Jayroo and I am not sure what to do about it.

It happens at the cinema in Indonesia too, I have noticed my intentions whilst watching a movie is completely different to other people's that I have observed in cinemas I have been to in Asia.

My intention is to watch and undertand a movie and it's plot.

My missus drives me nuts too, as something is taking place in the movie she is asking me "whats going on?", "Why did they do that?" I seem to have only a few stock answers, those being:

1. I don't know, it hasn't happened yet.

2. I know as much as you, lets wait and see.

3. If you stop asking me whats going on and actually watch you will then know whats going on.

Watch at home. You can hit the pause button when you need another beer or pee or both.....

I have told people very politely to shut the eff up and it worked.

Have to admit that this is one of my personal pet-peeves. But frankly, I find this problem much less pronounced than back in the US. People back in the states will yap and yap away through an entire movie. And if they think you're bothered, they'll yap even more. I recall an episode of the TV show Seinfeld, where Seinfeld actually defended people's right to talk in cinemas (bizarro, I know).

What to do? Tough call. You can certainly make a scene, but that can serious backfire. Perhaps a hard stare at the perpetrator. Or a loud "shooo," or some other gesture to let them know. But if they keep at it, not much you can do...unless you want a potentially nasty confrontation. Heck, I find opening and munching on a bag of potato chips to be somewhat distracting. Anyways, not a huge problem in Thailand from my perspective.

seriously I would thank the person. cinemas went out with drive in movies. i cant belive they still exist. people really still go to movies? I cant believe it. with big screen tvs, computers and 10 million ways to watch any movie you could ever want to who on earth still goes to these relics called movie theaters. I'm baffled

Worst ever was one theater where the local high school kids loved those huge dill pickles.

I'm sure they tasted great, but second hand dill fumes are enough to gag a maggot at 10 feet.

You are going to compare your 24" screen to 4D surround sounds and a massive screen?

Simple solution. Bloody obvious aint it?

There's a bunch of folks 6' deep in the ground that thought telling a group of Thai kids to eff off was an obvious solution to their minor irritation.

Throw popcorn at them until they get the message.

Sorry, I wasn't clear: whilst I used <deleted> in my post, I actually never use it with people, Thai or otherwise (OK, maybe once or twice in my lifetime).

MEthinks you need to upgrade your tv

I'd prefer to watch a movie at home in Full HD on a 42" screen, with sound through my hifi, than sit surrounded by muppets nattering, rustling crisp packets & letting their mobiles ring. PLUS, I'd rather watch the movie I want to watch, when I want to watch it, not the limited selection of blockbusters someone else chooses to show. YMMV

btw whilst my 42" tv is by no means large or even the latest hi-tech, I prefer to watch movies at home than have the far superior experience of the large screen & surround sound system, due to the other folk sat in the same "room".

I lost it once on a person sitting iny row who continued to take calls. I used my phones torch and flashed it at her until she left

if this was in the ghetto in the US well i dunno try doing that to some black ppl probably have to fight with them with the cops coming in afterwards.

A super soaker, an air horn and a million candle power spotlight. Used in that order. Silences them every time.

I don't know. I hardly ever watch movies at home and I have a whole home movie set-up. One reason is pure and simple a lack of time but I also like the atmosphere of a cinema. Whenever I am in BKK, a stop at the cinema is a must and I have rarely encountered any of the behavior the OP mentioned. I like the huge adjustable sofa, the blanket, the lass bringing me a beer. Just very different from sitting in my living room....

I boycott movie theaters.I either get it later off the net,or wait til it comes on TV.

load of twaddle the sound in the thai cinema is so deafening that talking is useless as nobody will hear you .has anyone measured the Db in thai cinemas ? it must be beyond the threshold of safety

<deleted> are you talking about?

Go to the earliest showing.

Why? I go whenever the hell I want to go, I am paying to watch when and where I want!

Watch at home. You can hit the pause button when you need another beer or pee or both.....

Right ok, so your advice is to watch bad quality, cinema copied, pirated DVDs, great advice. lol This should go down as quote of the month.

I'm more baffled by your reply, where do you watch the latest releases with subtitles? please advise and I will be the first one to sign up.
