10 Ways You're Ruining Movies For Everyone

9. Talking In The Screen

There are different levels at which conversation in the cinema can be considered rude, but as a rule of thumb we€™d suggest you think about whether or not what you have to say is more crucial or entertaining than what€™s happening onscreen before opening your gob. A whispered comment or wisecrack to the moviegoing chum in the next seat is fine, but cast your oral net any further afield and you€™re in danger of seeming a right prat. Worse still are those audience members who act like they€™ve seen it all before and make broad pronouncements about the twists and turns the plot€™s about to make, or who€™s going to get impaled by the bloodthirsty cannibals next. These people are the devil. Pray you€™re not one of them.
