Went to see it on release day and this behaviour ruined it for my kids who were startled and frankly a little scared at how loud the older teens were.
The most awkward phase of most of our lives is when you reach that age that you’re too old to like kids movies in a healthy way but also too young to like kids movies in a healthy way.
Like that awkward teen time when you have to pretend to not enjoy a form of entertainment that is essentially universally enjoyed only to prove to people your age that you’re “not a baby”.
Idk if it is still like that. But I remember specifically being that age and my cousin who was like a year older mocked me for liking Elf with Will Farrell. It’s such a weird age.
Though I think this is primarily a part of toxic masculinity. Most girls I knew never had this pressure.
I just made a post about this on my own comm this morning about how the talk about the shit going on in the theatre is what is actually making me interested in going to see it, if it is at all true.
When I first saw Rocky Horror Picture Show it was at a midnight event, I didn’t know shit about it other than it was super popular for some reason. The audience participation made the film better. If that’s what going to the movies was usually like, I would want to go out to the movies more often instead of just watching everything at home.
At least for Rocky Horror, the mess is 100% expected by the staff for a one off screening every few months.
Dealing with this shit for every screening in every theater multiple times a day would have me put a lock on the doors. They don’t have the staff to deal with it constantly.
Ah yes the last reason for anyone of new generation to go to the cinema great idea boomer
Yeah. I’m with you. Sure some little kids might be afraid of some loud teenagers. But it’s a Minecraft movie. Half the people buying tickets to that shit are doing it specifically to meme. Let the kids be kids.
Actually, i just had a good idea. Restrict the movies age below 15 unless you’ve got a kid under 15 with you. Basically the reverse of an R rating.
Gets rid of most of the cringe 15+ year old that go there to be annoying. Add a separate showing for teens and kids basically.
Actually. This is not a bad idea in general.
Make a rocky horror thing of it, it’s no problem unless they do this everytime, and if they do then the theaters have fucking found an entire new field of revenue and it’s just idiotic to reject that
I know! Don’t watch it in theaters and watch it on Netflix in a month
Better yet, bootleg it, and keep their corporate profit in your own pocket.
If only they would add the same warnings for the people who scream, clap, cheer and whistle during marvel movies.
The only time I was ok with this was during the “Avengers assemble” scene in Endgame.
Watching Black Panther at the Magic Johnson theater was a unique and fun experience lmao.
Oh my god society is pathetic.
Let people enjoy a movie for fuck sake. Oh no people clapped because Jack Black said Minecraft boo hoo.
Grow up people if your kids are bothered by crowds and loud noises that bad maybe have a conversation with them that other people exist and have a whole life they wanna live too
Movie theaters rely on an intact social contract for them to work. These movies aren’t filmed in front of a live studio audience, the actors can’t pause to wait for audience reactions. If I spend $20 for a ticket for a single viewing and miss a line because of people talking, being on their phone, air otherwise acting a fool. I’d be upset, I’m sure plenty of people are asking for their money back because of disruptions during the showing. If a theater becomes known for disruptions then they will lose customers and go out of business.
If you want a perfect personal viewing experience don’t watch movies in public?
If I had multiple bad experiences I definitely would consider stop watching movies in theaters.
If enough people stopped watching then theaters would go out of business for everyone so I understand why they are trying to crack down on disruptive viewers
Yeah if I went to an audience participation movie and some bitch was whining about others enjoying themselves in a non traditional way then I would start avoiding theaters more too
That’s such a bad take. Do you not know about movie theaters? Or theaters?
They actually tell you to turn off your ringer before the movie and to be mindful of others.
Next you’re gonna be telling people not to expect quiet at a library.
Im sorry but if you go see a participational movie expect to see the audience participate.
Just another reason to never go to a public movie theater.
Nah completely disagree. Your enjoyment doesn’t matter more than another’s, I like theaters with energy. Obviously it matters movie to movie but if you’re going in for a horror movie and don’t expect gasps and screams or an action movie and don’t expect possibly some cheers watch the movie at home.
Part of the theater is going to the crowd. Why would you assume a child’s movie would be quiet? They never are and never will be
I wouldn’t expect a children’s movie to be silent because kids are still learning how to act in public. The Minecraft movie is not one that would care that much about.
I also don’t think a movie theater is the place for audience interaction, a live show for certain kinds of entertainers or certain sporting events are a more appropriate venue for that.
Not that your preferences in theatre energy are wrong but I don’t agree that you ought to get to be loud because my enjoyment is not more important than yours. Some people get enjoyment out of teasing or trolling others. If your enjoyment is negatively impacting my enjoyment then it’s not acceptable in my opinion. That’s the social contracts. You can still enjoy a movie without being disruptive. Or you can be disruptive as much as you want in a private showing.
the Minecraft movie was announced more than 10 years ago, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect that teenagers will want to have fun in a place where there is no expectation they should clean up and where the only people getting an interrupted experience were toddlers disrupting movies when the movie was announced.
It’s not just clapping, it’s people throwing popcorn and running around the isles screaming. And not kids, teens.
It’s like fucking Rocky Horror Picture Show, but most of the audience didn’t sign up for the interactive show
So exactly like Rocky Horror Picture Show
Wtf is a Rocky Horror Picture Show?
