Subtitles don't mean you get to talk all you want, you fucking cunts.

[Tweek]

Spoilers for Inglourious Basterds:



I went to see Inglourious Basterds again today. In my row there were four douche bags. Every time it was subtitled or silent they just kept talking. I've encountered this before as I'm sure most of you have.

What kind of fucking sense does that make? If you JUST want to read and not experience a film in full, read a fucking book you cunt. It's not like there isn't anything else to offer just because it's in another language. (I'm going to make an awesome curmudgeonly librarian. My angry "Sssh!" is excellent.)

And the inappropriate laughter. They laughed when Shoshanna was shot at the end, for example. Am I missing something? Was there something funny about that? :confused:


In closing, I hate people. Good night, everybody!!!!

[Tweek]

I think my thread title is grammatically incorrect. :(

While this never happened to me during any of my three viewings of Inglourious Basterds, this has happened to me before and it's really annoying. If you're too lazy to read subtitles, go see another movie or stay the fuck home. There are more languages than just English for crying out loud and sometimes directors have the balls, work ethic and class to have German characters speak German, French characters speak French, etc. Just because a scene has subtitles doesn't make it any less important. And we have it fucking lucky. On this forum, we are (for the most part) English speaking people and are from either the US, Canada or the UK. Think of other countries whose languages are not English who don't have the money and other things to produce countless numbers of films like our countries do. Sure, they have some films made in their own countries, but not nearly as many as we do. They have to show films from our countries, either all in subtitles or dubbed in incredibly annoying voices.

As for the laughter, there were intentionally funny moments in Inglourious Basterds, but there were no unintentionally funny moments, especially not the scene you are referring to. Bunch of idiots in your row, no doubt.

At my screening someone brought their 3 three year old to the theater.

If I ever open my own movie theater, I'm going to play this song before every single film.

I admit, this didn't happen to me when I saw 'Basterds', but I wholly sympathize with you.

[Antonio141]

This is why I HATE going to the movies now! Once my favorite thing to do, has now been ruined by the fuckjobs you described!

I HATE PEOPLE!

I can't imagine that going over well when you are playing G rated movies.;)

I've honestly never had this happen to me before, but it sounds awful. I think though that it gets filed under "assholes at the theater". I'm sure if there weren't subtitles, these pablum pukers would have found some other way to express their douchefullness to a degree to gain your utmost disrespect. Call them one day Tweek. Call them and see if they can tolerate your challenge. One feat in one second. That's all you have to say, and forever they will know yours was the path that they had crossed. You will crest upon them the Scarlet Letter. A big fat A (pronounced: eh) -- That A will stand for assholes. Why? Because it just looks better than an F and a C. They stand one way, or another, you can't tell what fucking extent; they stand the other way and they are just cunts. Fuck these people and their talkiness during the movie. You should have demanded a refund. That's right, bolted out before those scoundrels, pushed past them if you had to --- just enough, just to be sure that you were standing at the customer help booth as they walked by, on their way out to their douchebag cars and their assholiness -- just so they could have walked by as you were tellng the theater worker, "That's them! Those are the guys who ruined the movie." Oh, they will probably be like "WTF" and maybe will even laugh, but one moment, maybe not then, maybe not in their douchebagmobile on their way home to Land of the Assholes, maybe not even that day or that year, but one day, they'll look up and a single tear will fall past a mouth utter the words, "Shit, I need to rethink what I'm doing."

I did know of one person who would talk through subtitles, and that was my grandfather as he suffered from dementia. He would talk at length with no rhyme or reason, and interactions by us only ever seemed to make it worse. To be fair though, the only reason I would have subtitles to begin with was so I could tell what they were saying in the movies I'd try to watch. So this doesn't really count.

The grammar in the thread title seems right to me, as it's implied "[Having] subtitles doesn't mean..." --- Saying "Subtitles don't mean..." sounds really bad. Is that what you were asking?

Pffth..... My movie theater is not going to have G or PG rated movies.

[Potter82]

Whatever happened to that guy who was watching a film and shot a few people were acting like dicks? Was he pardoned? He should be and his story should be told far and wide - "and that's why you don't act like a douchebag in the theatre!"

There needs to be more copy cat incidents.

[The Postmaster General]

I don't see the point. The movie gets interrupted either way.

[Heisenberg]

At the screening of District 9 I went to last night, there were these two wankers talking for like the last 20 minutes of the movie. And I mean actually talking, not loud wispering...TALKING. The after that bullshit, one of them kept saying 'Die allready' everytime Wikus came on screen. In short, I turned around and shot them.


I didn't, but god I wish somebody would have.

[Prismatic Sphere]

This is why you go to the movies in the daytime when hardly anyone is there.

For what one pays for movies these days, why take a chance?

Believe me, that doesn't always make a difference. Idiots come out in the daylight too, its not like they're nocturnal.

[Preston_79]

Maybe a cord to strangle them with, hmmmm? It would only work if they sat in front of you though. This way you can off them and hopefully finish the movie without sending everyone running when they hear the shots. I'd leave a note on their laps, so when the ushers find them there's an explanation. "I killed these two idiots for being noisy." You'd be dubbed the Matinee Murderer. After that people would hopefully think twice before interrupting a movie.

Oh, one can dream.:)

[Smiert Spionam]

Wow... I don't think I've ever seen Tweek drop the "C" word before... :eek:

And in related news, Inglourious Basterds was literally, the worst audience I've ever been apart of. The biggest group of retarded fratboy douchebag assholes you've ever seen in your life. Awful. I think it severaly impacted my perception of the film, and probably will for the rest of my life. It'll never be as good as it could've been for me because I, being the hardcore fan that I am, went to the very first midnight screening, and had to have it ruined by a bunchof useless human beings. Its really sad... :(

[Tweek]

The most I wanted to do was stumble over to them and dump my Diet Coke on one of their heads. But it was tasty so I didn't.

I went at 4PM.

I think I have here before. I won't do a search or anything...

The first viewing was okay for me. Someone's cell phone rang once and that was it. I went during the day time on opening day, though.

i think Prismatic Sphere mean't earlier in the day, around the time the theatre opens. either that or go late at night after the hype dies down.

[Prismatic Sphere]

Yes, that's what I meant. The idiots are definitely much thinner in number then.

[NuclearMisfit]

You know what bugs me the most is these very same people who talk during foreign or subtitled films are usually the first asshole outside the theater saying the movie sucked or they didnt understand it.

Same goes for the people who watch a movie and sleep through most of it only to wake up within the last 10 minutes of the movie and claims the movie sucks. I usually say "I thought we were watching "<insert movie name>" I didnt know we were watching "Inside of Eye Lids"

Well... I had to watch Birth of a Nation recently in its entirety for a class. I strongly dislike the movie for obvious reasons so I felt my falling asleep during it was justified.

Right, I understand sometimes its justified, just when you pay 10+ dollars to watch a film in the theaters and your buddy who finally woke up says IT STINKS. Its almost like how can you form an opinion on a film you didnt really see.

[Reigh Kaufman]

Birth of a Nation is a rite of passage for any film student, but it has only one watchable sequence.

Not even an enjoyable sequence, either.

I was shown parts of it in a couple of film classes before, along with an American Pop Culture class I took my senior year of high school. This was the first class where they screened it to me an its entirety.


The origin of the white cloak the KKK wear is still pretty funny.

[MightyCelestial]

Everytime time I see a fucking cunt buying a ticket,
particularly for a subtitled movie,
I already know that there's gonna be trouble.
I think that talking during a subtitled movie is a problem that can resolved if only theatres didn't allow fucking cunts into a theatre to begin with.
I know that saying that is a form of profiling,
but I don't care.
I've never met a fucking cunt that I ended up liking.
Never.

[KcMsterpce]

I've never met a fucking cunt that I ended up liking.
Never.

I have. It's just that I've never been the one doing the fucking, that's the problem.

[CyclicNightmare]

Karl Pilkington disagrees with this rant.

[SpiralEye]

Tell me about it. I had a similarly lame experience at IB with similarly lame douchingtons. Lots of bs before and during the show. And it was hilarious, because these were 4 of the dumbest guys I have evr heard conversate. Lots of 'whoo!'s and 'yeah!' from them whenever someone was drinking onscreen.

Seriously? You shout out when someone drinks in movie?

Also, during the scene in which Bridget von Hammersmark explains the hand signal and says that it looks strange to a German, thus giving him away, I heard this from one of them: "Pfft. Who DOES that?"

The answer. You retard. Is....GERMANS DO THAT!!! She just explained it not 6 seconds ago!!!

And the icing on the cake: At the end, when Landa is getting his Swastika carved in his head, I heard this: "Pfft. Plastic Surgery could fix that."

Dumbstruck. I turned and looked at my friend, and he looked at me, and I turned around and said

"Really, man? In 1945?"

"Oh. Well I guess not back then, huh."

You are not alone, Tweek.

P.S. Your title is grammatically incorrect. It should be "Subtitled doesn't mean you get to...". Another option would be "Subtitles don't mean you get to...". Not trying to be a nazi, but you were wondering. :)

[Tweek]

"Subtitles don't mean you get to..."

Yeah, that's what I was trying to go for.
