Does anyone else take earplugs to the movies

[TickTockMan]

Yes I know it's an odd question, but I want to know.

 

[BRIOHAZARD]

I don't, the theater I go to isn't that loud.

 

[scains]

Don't you want to know what the people are saying?

No I don't.

 

[Payton]

No.





...






I take my ipod!

 

[TickTockMan]

No. Why would you bother doing that?

Don't you want to know what the people are saying?

No I don't.

I do it because the ones around here are really loud. I also do it because even if it is just me and one other person in the entire place, the other person sit clost to me. They are usually using a phone to talk, texting with sound, or eating stuff they brought in from the outside that makes a lot of noise.


With earplugs I can hear the movie just fine and none of the other crap. Though I do still have to put up with the light from their cells.


Do you guys not have assholes over there?

 

[Payton]

Fortunately, I don't think I've ever had a major disruptance in a movie.

Sound generally doesn't bother me. Even with some people chatting, I can still concentrate on the film without getting irritated.

However, one lesson I've learned is to not sit front row in Gold Class. When watching the Dark Night, the fast-paced camera shots made me feel like I was watching one of those Japanese seizure inducing cartoons.

I thought I was the only one. I have tinnitus in my left ear so I plug it and can leave with out even more ringing and pain. Movies are so damn loud.

 

[TickTockMan]

But i'd give you the same advice i would a person that can't take a loud concert - move back.

1) I can't. I always sit in the last row when I can.
2) All of our local theaters use surround sound. There is a speaker above your head no matter where you sit.

 

[TickTockMan]

Thynight, I've never had a bad experience in the movies. Mobiles are switched off when the movie starts and people rarely talk during the movie.

I wish I could say that. It seems no matter how loud the movie is, there is always one person that will be making noise loud enough for everyone to hear.

 

[Seasoned]

I never have had ear plugs with me, but there have been times when I wished I had. It's generally the music or the special effects in an action movie that can be deafening.

Sometimes you have to be the person that is loudest... good luck..

Personally I wouldn't go out of my way to buy ear plugs, the ticket in is more than I want to pay. (I'm cheap... big whoop, wannafightaboutit) My ability to be loud right back at rude asshats is free. Usually a sarcastic, Ha Ha Ha, is enough, and occasionally the exxagerated cough while staring down is in order.

I have a lot of earplugs so I'm not spending any extra. Also with my size most people are sacred of me for no reason, but a few try to pick fights just because. I am sure it would get messy.


I remember a few years back a guy getting a gun pulled on him because he asked a guy to be quite. People are nuts any more.

 

[Spiff]

Yes, I bring them with my blindfold.

 

[Ram]

Though I do still have to put up with the light from their cells.

Hey, I hate that too! You know what I do? I cover my eyes! Blocks every light out. I love your earplugs idea. Earplugs, hand over my eyes -- finally I can enjoy watching movies!

Fuck that. You talk, I will shhh! you.

So they make noise. You make noise. The guy down a few rows makes noise. And on and on it goes. In the end you all get to pay $10.50 to hear SHHH for two hours. I could go to my brothers and hear it for free. He has four kids.


You guys are acting like you can't hear the movie. If any thing it is clearer because all of the little background noise in the theater is drowned out.


Maybe they just play the movies here really loud.

 

[Paradigm]

Havnt been to a movie in years.

But yeah, I sometimes use them. Loud abrupt noises really bother me. Like nails into my head. Fireworks for instance. When I have had to go I use them then. They dont have to drown everything out - I put them in loosely, just enough to dull the booms.

I have never encountered a 2-hour long shhh! fest. And it's a light, soft shhh!. Usually, I shhh! -- and then they go "oh sorry!" and then I continue with the movie. I paid ten bucks to enjoy the movie and I'm sure you did too. We both could enjoy it if you shut the fuck and I stop annoying you.

If I did encounter a 2-hour shhh! fest, chances are they are all teenagers and immature assholes and I'm watching a bad movie.

Basically, my shhh! impart awareness.

 

[Triple G]

No. The louder, the better. Also, I like my home theater at window busting levels.

It seems you are just around nicer people than I have here. Short of having them removed most that make nosie here usually keep doing it.


I can't remember the movie now, but a few months ago I went to a midnight showing. Thoughout it a guy a few seats from me was talking on his phone, saying the lines before they were said on screen. He wouldn't stop. He was more than likely an employee since he knew the movie at it's first public showing in town. People bitched and nothing happened. People are just jackasses around here.

Thynight you are right, people are crazy... Buy the DVD.
