    All that ? irritates me, but I haven't had to deal with any of it in years, never with my current theater. Its usually a mixed crowd with people laughing, clapping, tearing up, and other usual reactions. But i like that, ? really enhances the movie experience.

    My best time was when avengers first came out and nobody knew what to expect. Those reactions were priceless.

    But never been any wild extra ? , so far anyway. The baby thing happens rarely, but they shut the kid up or leave pretty quick.

    Even if they did, the theater has the laws outside. Don't comply with theater policy, they'll get you escorted out.

    Lol i never been to a movie where ppl applaud the film.

    That would be weird as hell

    everybody i know stood up and clapped at the end of The Dark Knight and All the Marvel movies.

    They applauded when hans solo and chewie first came on screen in the force awakens and also at the end of the movie when I went to watch

    To me when ppl do ? like that it makes the experience better, ill never forget watching episode 2 when yoda took out his lightsaber and the entire theater went nuts, ? was dope

    everybody's usually chillin....its cool when all the parents laugh at the same parts that go over the kids heads

    Before saying some ? like this, I hope y'all MFs have went to a movie with a bunch of whites (or non-Blacks) for comparison.

    I have, and if you think all white people have exemplary etiquette in the movies, you got it wrong.

    They act loud in movies theaters going to star wars premier night or any Marvel premier night white people can be loud as well.

    Babies are woat..shouldn't even be allowed in..I didn't pay to hear your big headed ass baby cry the whole movie..and then have the nerve to pace back and forth down the aisle with the baby..they ought to charge double price for a baby

    it aint that simple brah :(

    for you ? with no kids...let me guess, your solution to this matter if you dont have a sitter is to either

    a) dont have kids

    b) dont go to the movies

    i hate ya'll sometimes...i be trying to go in the daytime, but guess what, single ? with no kids go there too

    Nah my ? . I ain't bringing my infant son into the movies. That's not even to do with other people, I don't want to waste my own time and money spending more time making sure he's quiet than actually enjoying the movie

    My entire life the only time i've seen someone actually kicked out a movie for being too loud it was teenagers and majority of time they were white. Last time I saw it happen was some years ago when The Simpsons movie came out and a group of white teens got kicked out for being obnoxious as ?

    The worst experience I ever had in a theater was when I went to go see Paranormal Activity 3. Those teens in the theater wouldn't ? and that was a theater full of white kids.
