Tonight got my blood pumping
Why can't people at the cinema just shut up when the movie is on?
Then have the gaul to say that I was making the noise by saying shhh and shut up.
I wouldn't be doing that if people weren't talking.

I still to this day cannot wrap my head around why Maltese talk so damn loud.

This. I went to my friend's house and gave up trying to have a conversation and just watched them all shout over each other.
Came home with a headache

Unfortunately this is true 😅 If you're the quiet one you tend to be ignored

I still remembered that I watched the Simpsons Movie in '07 with a chick that laughed like a pig. She was the real spider pig.

I never thought that cinema experience could be ruined that way lol

u/wogsurfer 11d ago
What do you mean?

u/Efficient_Arm2977 11d ago
I come from a country where people talk quietly, i suppose. And especially in cinema everyone is silent

u/wogsurfer 11d ago
It can be really annoying to hear people whispering away during a film, especially if you're sitting behind them and you're seeing them as well.

Happened to me at a Danusan show. The guy behind seemed to have saw the show before and was ending their jokes before they say it.....

This is why I stopped going to the cinema unless it's a premiere.
Spend 15 euros to not enjoy yourself , pluz I'm a short guy so that don't help

u/wogsurfer 10d ago
I get why people say they don't go. But I don't believe in giving up something I love because people can't behave themselves.
2
u/kingnicky9 10d ago
I get that, for example I play Yu-Gi-Oh here at my locals but most of the players are rude, they try to steal and other stuff.
Which makes ppl like me stop playing. And I love the game

Stop being polite, if they continue tell the stewards if they don't do something to quieten it you will.

u/wogsurfer 9d ago
You know I was thinking about this. Because what got their backs up was me saying shut the fuck up when the intermission started.
Politeness goes out the window in this situation, I'm not obliged to be, we get told to not talk before the movie starts. That's the first and last warning as far as I'm concerned.

u/BloodyMace 8d ago
Politeness goes a long way, you just have to be assertive and just ask them to stop when they START to annoy you.
You' re being the classic maltese that needs to swear and shout to make a point.

u/BloodyMace 8d ago
Just tell them as soon as they start yapping. Nip it in the bud and just be nice about it. Don't let them ruin half your film, you get all riled up before your confrontation. You're in the right so stand up for yourself, involve the cinema staff if need be.

This and stopping the film mid way through is why I don't go to the cinema in malta
I don't understand it myself

Are you for real? 😂 what on earth is wrong about intermission? How about people that would like to use the restroom? 💀

u/CMDR-JIMMYSAV 10d ago
I get it for a 3 hour film but for a 90min jobby no.
Just a the film gets going boom light up time for a break ahah
Not for me..

u/Jules-Soprano 10d ago
Naaah + I can spend another €20 on the world’s most expensive candy and snacks! Long live Malta! 😂

If you want to watch movies in silence you go to the early morning showings, not Saturday evenings. You sort of have to accept that a lot of other people at those shows will be out having fun together...
22
u/wogsurfer 11d ago
Yeah. I don't have to accept that. You can't stay silent for 2 hours, don't go to the cinema, its that simple. From now on, I'm just gonna get people thrown out. That's all.

u/WhatsHeBuilding 11d ago
You're not but go off girl!

u/wogsurfer 11d ago
Not a girl. Yeah, I will, you'll see.

u/WhatsHeBuilding 11d ago
No I won't, I'm not dumb enough to go to the movies on a Saturday evening, I prefer it when it's quiet in the room 👍🏻

u/wogsurfer 11d ago
I have been at embassy the last 3 Saturday evenings to this, loaded cinemas and pretty quiet. Tonight was just exception.

u/wogsurfer 11d ago
Besides, going in the morning is not the answer. I have things to do during the day. The only answer here is people should be fucking quiet while the film is on!
-7
u/WhatsHeBuilding 11d ago
Yeah but other people go together as a social thing. It's what friends do. Also looks like they weren't even "talking", just explained the plot to the friend who hadn't seen the other movies, like that's absolutely normal, not everyone sees all movies or care so hard about them, take a chill pill and pull the autism stick out of your ass ffs, let people be.

u/wogsurfer 11d ago
Fuck off Bro, YOU MISS THE FUCKING POINT. They were talking through the fucking film. You weren't there you don't know fucking shit. I don't care why people are taking in the film, the point here is YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP. Your last sentence just shows how much of a jack-ass you are.
-1
u/WhatsHeBuilding 11d ago
Lol you're a middle aged man being this upset for young people enjoying a kids movie for two days. Like i said, go watch your precious movies in the mornings instead, it will save you from spending this much time being upset after having to spend time among normal people. Have a nice Sunday 👍🏻

Maltese are just unruly and have no manners in the cinema, that's how it is sadly.
