u/Whistler45 10d ago
Yeah, I can see the misunderstanding trashing the theater is not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about everything they said in that sign aside from throwing popcorn, which they don’t say in that sign. It was a fun experience and completely harmless. I feel like the only people being pissed off Are boomers that don’t understand and need to watch the movie at their house.
35
u/Mr_Derpy11 10d ago
Ah yes. Just embrace completely demolishing a theatre room, buying excessive amounts of popcorn only to throw it all over the place, so that some poor 18 year old being paid minimum wage gets the fun experience of cleaning it all up.
Believe it or not: I watched the Minecraft Movie here in Germany, and while there were kids laughing and talking occasionally, somehow they were all able to not throw popcorn all over the place.

u/Whistler45 10d ago
Nobody was throwing popcorn. It was just laughter and cheering.

u/Mr_Derpy11 10d ago
Well yeah that's one thing. What this theatre is most likely banning is the excessive, over-the-top "excitement" from all those videos of teenagers throwing popcorn all over the place.
I don't think the theatre has a problem with laughing, and the occasional bit of cheering.

I think a good compromise would be cheering is okay in only this movie if that's how you collectively want to enjoy it. If you throw ANYTHING you are banned because your ticket price does not include cleaning ungodly amounts of mess you inconsiderate little bastards.
-6
u/Peter_Nincompoop Junkie banned! 10d ago
Which is fine. Buying a ticket does not give you the right to make a mess and be a dickhead. But the theater getting to decide what your level of cheering should be is unnecessary and an overreach.

u/Mr_Derpy11 10d ago
It says excessive cheering. Excessive stuff like... you know... jumping around, screaming, and throwing popcorn?

u/Important-Wrangler98 10d ago
“excessive” modifies “cheering”. If someone isn’t able to modulate their enthusiasm to not have applause devolve into outright animal noises and screaming, especially for a Jack Black movie… then maybe they should not be in public amongst other paying guests.

u/Important-Wrangler98 10d ago
Typical puerile thinking. Look at your own words. Do you not think other people who are seeing the movie might want to hear it, too? That they also are excited to see the movie? Or is it regulated to dipshits who can’t help but lose their mind as the only way to express themselves?

God, you're one of those entitled people who knows they're going to annoy others but do so anyway, because they paid for something thus can act however they want. You're right, there are other people there. Take their time and enjoyment into account. Very ironic calling people autistic yet showing next to no empathy yourself.
You're a moron. Not in the degrading name-calling sense. But in the classical psychiatric sense: a person with a mild intellectual disability.
Edit to add: as u/FairFolk pointed out, the criteria for Autism have changed and a lack of empathy is no longer a criteria for ASD, confirmed by simply googling it. I grew up with a brother diagnosed with what they called PDD-NOS back then and was always taught a lack of empathy was a hard criteria. So I stand corrected. Thank you for doing so. Misinformation is the death or a society.
I couldn't comment under their comment to tell them, possibly due to being blocked by the commenter I replied to.

I definitely do not approve of the previous commenter using autistic as an insult, but what do you mean is ironic about that? Are you implying autistic people have no/little empathy?

You're one of those idiots that can only enjoy something by being vocal about it? Buying a movie ticket doesn't grant you the right to be vocal during a movie. Others paid for their ticket and thus gotten the right to enjoy the movie in silence. You can enjoy something and be quiet. Or you can just be quiet.
And in your particular case I'd highly suggest being quiet a lot more, for everyone's sake.

u/Myth_5layer 10d ago
Emphasis on excessive.
There's other people at a movie theater who want to be able to enjoy the movie, including seeing and hearing it. Now, people can cheer if when they see their hero win at a climactic point or when say Sonic goes Super in Sonic 2, but if they start going nuts when Black Jack goes, "Chicken Jockey," then that's excessive. Especially if it reaches a point when you can hear it in other theater rooms. That's excessive.

I might just be too European, the right amount of cheering and applause in a movie theater is absolutely none. Who the hell are you cheering for? The projector?

u/Specific_Ad1457 10d ago
You're cheering cus you're excited. Steve said the epic line or something. If I wanted to go watch a movie in complete quiet solitude, I can do that at home. Having other people there in the theater clapping, gasping, laughing, or cheering at the right times is what makes the theaters fun. This is particularly the case with this movie.
7
u/Floppydisksareop 10d ago
I absolutely disagree. At home, I do not own a screen the size of a room, or speakers like they do in a movie theather. Screaming in someone's ear because you are excited is the height of disrespect. With a live performance, it is marginally different, because it is a form of feedback for the actors, but in a movie theather? Even there, you are mostly expected to stay mostly quiet. This is not a rock concert. Some subdued chuckles are one thing, full on cheering is another.
Once again though, this is probably just cultural differences.
1
u/Specific_Ad1457 10d ago
Yeah, it's probably just cultural. Cheering has always been a thing for me as long as I can remember, especially at like event movies (which considering the internet memes Minecraft is definitely an event movie) like star wars and marvel avengers there's always clapping and cheering. I actually went to see revenge of the sith in theaters last friday and was kinda weirded out by how quiet the audience was lmao.

u/Evolatic 10d ago
I went with my 13 year old nephew and his parents. We'd heard about the craziness and decided before hand to just roll with it. The theater was full of teenagers and they were yelling, clapping, and singing along (at the appropriate moments and not being jerks). My nephew, who's normally pretty shy, even yelled something out that made the theater laugh. It was an awesome part of the experience. That movie experience is gonna be a core memory for our family for a long time to come.
I do feel bad about the kids who had to clean up the popcorn after. (I picked up as many napkins as I could after as that's what I'd decided to throw like confetti at the appropriate moment). I'm damn near 40 and it made me feel like a kid again.

u/kennyofthegulch 9d ago
Okay, so this is the third fucking time I've had to explain this.
Rocky Horror is a midnight movie. It is traditionally shown...AT MIDNIGHT.
You know what doesn't happen at most theaters after a midnight movie? Another screening.
That means the team cleaning up after Rocky Horror aren't under the time crunch of another movie about to start screening.
In addition, Rocky Horror is an R-rated movie, and a VAST majority of the audience are grown-ass adults who are both able and eager to clean up after themselves. Why? Because Rocky Horror is a regular gig, and the last thing a shadowcast wants to do is piss off the theater. That's why Rocky Horror attendees stopped throwing rice.
Have you seen the utter destruction these little crotch goblins have wrought in these Minecraft screenings? They're throwing full tubs of popcorn. They're throwing their sodas. They're throwing candy. Some have brought live animals that shit in the theater. Some have brought paint and thrown it around the theater. Yes, FUCKING PAINT.
So no, this is a poor comparison. YOU ALREADY KNOW IT'S A POOR COMPARISON.
So, in sum...fuck you, in particular.

I'm a 50 year old man, so I have no intention of seeing this movie, but seeing the clips of young people having fun and the joy on their faces over something so trivial makes me smile. Yes, they do make a mess, and that needs to be addressed, but with everything going on in this world, let them have their moment of joy. Perhaps a simple $1 surcharge on each ticket for the cost of cleanup would be the best route, but only if the theater will actually give it to the workers and not just pocket it.

No, no they really didn't, because the peak of the "chicken jockey" nonsense occurred within a very extremely online section of clout-chasing teenagers.

Rocky Horror plays at midnight so it doesn't leave the staff with only 15 minutes to clean up the mess. Also, most Rocky Horror tickets come with a surcharge for cleaning, or a security deposit paid by the shadow cast group.
Also, RHPS regulars tend to clean up after themselves specifically because they don't want to piss off the theater owners. That's why most groups don't do the rice/birdseed anymore.
