Anyway, tell them like you'd tell anyone else. If you treat them differently, you're the problem, not the solution.

Precisely this. Plus, it wasn't exactly a serious movie. Even I expected people to talk during that -- and I am the most anal person I know about people shutting their mouths in theaters and keeping their damn phones off.

Solution is simple, go to IMAX where the sound is so loud you can't even hear the fire alarm.

Death to teenagers!

Teenagers are the future.



Unless we stop them now.

Usually teenagers grow up to be adults but in the ghetto many a times the adults are just like they were when they were teenagers.......unfortunately.
When was the last time your white fat Hank Hill Ass was in the Ghetto?

In my experience 90% of the people being obnoxious are black in the theater, the other 10% are teeny boppy kids (usually white) that are either stoned or like 12-13 and just think they're funny. I live in SE Florida so it's unbearable for me to see a movie after 6pm. Parents just drop their kids off and don't care what they do.

I hate stereotypes, but for some reason, I've experienced THIS ONE multiple times. :Q

unfortunatly stereotypes exist because they are true wether people like them or not. I have yet to run into ANY stereotype that was not true in my 36 years.

Eddie Murphy did a great bit on this in Raw or Delirious. I cannot find the video right now.

Even black people make jokes about black people talking in movie theaters.


OP, Discretion is the better part a valor; Either suck it up or go ask for a refund. In today's society, telling anyone to not be a selfish prick can be hazardous to your health (especially walking back to your car).

i dunno...that sounds pretty racist.

and yes, this stereotype is real and has been known for decades.

i remember going to a movie theater once in detroit to watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. as soon as the subtitles appeared, a group of guys yelled 'oh f*** this s***' and left...lol

OMG black people cant read either? Is this a new stereotype ive not heard of yet?

This is why I will only go to the theatre for a Sunday matinee. If you aren't seeing a kid movie it's a ghost town.

You must be new around here, aren't you?

Fixed that for you.

Yes, NOT ALL blacks are like that but a lot of them are.

The white girl used to live next door to me (she was so quiet) in the apartment complex just moved out last month. This week, a black family moved in, loud and obnoxious.

The black couple across the yard, same thing. Chatting outside out loud at 1 a.m. ...Never have noise problems with other whites and hispanics people.

Don't let me start about blacks stop at the middle of the street to drop off/pick up people or chatting or walking around in the middle of the freaking street 4 to 5 wide or playing basketball on the street.

<<----glad that he will not to have to live in this area too much longer.
