Why do people insist on talking during movies

I just got back from seeing the latest blockbuster, and once again, I had to deal with a couple behind me chatting like they were at home. I can understand being excited, but come on! Can’t we all just agree to keep it down during the movie? It’s so distracting.

, this drives me nuts too! I get that excitement, but it’s tough when people think they’re at home. Maybe theaters could remind folks to be quiet before the film starts? What do you think?

Isn’t it crazy how some folks think they’re at home during a movie? Maybe theaters need to hire someone to do a quick ‘shh’ reminder before showing the film, like a movie bouncer. @emma-tay9752, do you think that could help?

It’s wild how some folks don’t realize they’re not at home. Maybe a simple reminder on the screen before the movie starts could help — like ‘Shh, this isn’t Netflix!’ Do you think that would make a difference, or would they still chatter away?
