If someone tells me during the ads, that they don’t like to hear me crunching the snacks when the movie starts, I always whish I have some left until then. ^^
For real, crunching popcorn during a movie is something one can and should expect in a cinema. I don’t understand. Why go there and complain?
I stopped going for this reason recently. For the first time since covid I got no upcoming cinema visits and don’t plan to change that.
I enjoy atmospheric movies, sometimes they are quiet and try to build up tension with subtle sound design.
Popcorn kills that. Like if we’re watching some action flick crunch away. But if it’s some atmo horror or whatever movie, maybe 50 people chewing with their mouths open and slurping drinks kind of negates the whole point of the movie.
While you might have got the impression, I try to destroy the atmosphere in a cinema with popcorn; I actually don’t. I wittnessed a neighbour being asked to chew quiter and I told myself: If I would sit next to the person who complained, I wouldn’t react, because wtf. Why complain about the physiology of chewing? My neighbour was definetly not loud or searching for trouble.
Only when such things happen I feel like a rebell and I think the complaining person should find another place to sit instead of exercising power over other people. When you do something with other people you don’t know, you have to expect things they do differently.
Back to the cinema: Most movies I watch at home. Only for those festival films I can find only in the smaller local cinemas that are still around, I go waching outside. I can behave myself, but others should too. (:
