10 Annoying Types of People in the Movie Theater

5. The Exclaimer

This is a whole spectrum of folk. I know some ladies on the more elderly side that audibly hiss when they hear a curse word. I know some people who can't contain themselves when something exciting happens on screen, and show that with a "Whaaaaaat?" that isn't a yell, but an exclamation ignorant of other viewers. It's something that often happens during the twists of a film, or if our suspension of disbelief gets reeled in in contrast to what we've been seeing. A lot of people aren't really aware that they're doing it, and pointing it out embarrasses them. It's one of those things that you might just have to suck up and take, because confronting it is going to be more awkward than beneficial. They could get very offended and say you're out of line. It's not really someone I have a "solution" for. They're being attentive to the picture, and my pointing out their "rudeness" to the rest of the theater won't be a quick-fix to their social unawareness. It's annoying, yes. But it's more forgivable than a few other entries on the list.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
