It's not just kids. There was a middle aged couple next to my wife and I the last flick we caught. I asked politely if they could save the discussion until after the movie and the woman told me in a loud voice to fuck off... seriously.

I told my wife "I think I can take her..." but she, being the voice of reason as usual, told me to stand down. :)

There's a theater that I like to go to that has a policy of no talking and no cell phone use. First offense is a warning, and second offense they are removed from the showing. Those rules are made really clear at the beginning of every movie showing. It's fantastic.

Which theater? I'll start seeing films there :)

It's a place called Alamo Drafthouse. They made news a while back by posting one of their disgruntled customer voicemails on the internet: http://youtu.be/1L3eeC2lJZs

where do you live? the most of the theaters I go to in LA and SF people mostly don't talk. The theater runs stuff before the movies, no talking, no texting, no phones. etc..

I live near SF. Where are these theaters?! Coming from Austin, and it's Alamo Drafthouses, I've been really disappointed with the talkers in films around here. Most movies that I've seen in the SF area have been filed with talkers.

Try Sundance Kabuki, especially the 21+ shows.

Also, we're getting an Alamo Drafthouse, which I'm really looking forward to: http://drafthouse.com/san_francisco/new_mission
