I saw a free screening of The Dark Tower.

When the movie ended, I heard a young woman tell her date “I hated this. I really hated this. I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can see you anymore.”, get up and leave.

Guy looked mortified.

My other one was a midnight screening (remember those?) of John Wick 2. The teenagers behind us were cracking jokes the whole time and pissing everyone off. As the credits rolled, the woman next to them stood up and said sternly: “I rarely get out to the movies. I was really enjoying this but you clowns ruined it. I hope you boys grow up. I hope you stop disappointing everyone around you. And you <points to the main jokester> when you find yourself old, miserable, and alone, that you have the decency to kill yourself and not make your sadness everyone else’s problem like you did tonight.”

Response was mixed claps and a lot of “😬”

She thought of that during the opening credits and held it in for the entire film. I respect it.

This is a scenario where someone needs to just throw out a "Yo, shut the fuck up." (or fetch a member of staff)

I've done variations of this, and 3/3 times it has worked so far.

The problem with fetching staff is you end up missing part of the movie.

would you rather miss one scene or have people ruin the whole experience though?

I mean yeah, I have contemplated leaving to get a manager, but telling folks to shut the fuck up has worked so far for me.

I’m pretty sure it’s the scene where Hugh Jackman character gets a bj as he’s trying to break the code in time .
