If she wanted to talk over a movie she should have done it at home, not where people have paid in to watch it. Dozey bitch.

or perhaps she coud turn her extrovert affliction into a career and become an audio describer for blind cinema goers.

12-14 they were children for god sake - thats what kids do

Are ye being a little dramatic?

So the 12-14 year old kids show no respect to others? Like to annoy those, who want to watch a film in peace? All of them?

If someone sitting close to me is making enough noise that it's distracting me from the film I have no problem telling them to shut the fcuk up. I havn't paid to listen to someones commentary over the dialogue.

I am not dissin the kids. I'm just stating what I saw and to me it is just unacceptable and inconsiderate behaviour.

I don't expect the kids to sit all upright and tight lipped throughout the movie but neither would I pass off harassing other movie goers, arguing with the cinema attendant in foul language when asked just to move over by one seat and throwing their trash onto someone's head as behaviour that can be passed away as "just what kids do".

In groups they all just show off and try to be funny.

On their own, they're little quiet mice.

Well if they're behaving as such scum at that age, imagine what they'll be like when they grow up in 10yrs time?

Do you not think "scum" is a bit harsh and judgmental to be calling a child?

Or maybe I just come from a time when kids were taught how to behave properly in public spaces by their parents...

Yes, public place, your going on like it was in your living room

I don't believe you have done that. I've never seen anyone do that.

I actually have done it. I was fed up of tolerating fcukwits in the cinema, ruining the film for everyone. I used to just sit there like everyone else and listen to them abuse people, throw stuff at people and fight among themselves. Why should anyone sit through that and not say anything?

Nowadays, once the film has started and the messing is continuing, pipe up and nip it in the bud at the start. It has never escalated further than verbals.

Usually when they think you are physically threatening them they will either shut up or push ot to see if you will give them a smack or not.
When they get to the point of whether you give them a smack, you will normally get one who says "go on them, I'll sue ya" the correct response to this is that you have no intention of hitting them, but will kick the sh1t out of their father, this has worked for me in the past

Ha, as I said above I havent had the need to hit anyone, I would always let them throw the first punch, then you are defending yourself.

Kids!
What the devil's wrong with these kids today
Kids!
Who could guess that they would turn out that way
Why can't they be like we were?
Perfect in every way
Oh, what's the matter with kids today?

it wasnt in arklow was it? me and the missus had the misfortune to be surrounded by about 100 15 year olds last week while watching paranormal activity 4.
i lost it eventually and scared the life out of some little fat young one because i screamed at her so hard to be quiet. some of them got thrown out eventually

Kids who mess in the cinema are ''antisocial scum'' now?!

I'm sure you have never heard such "distinctively foul language" in your entire life.

Why can't they not behave like responsible citizens

Double-negatives aside, a citizen, by definition, is an inhabitant of a city or town.

What can be done, if anything can be done, to fix these disordered youth into living a responsible and respectable life?

The loudest proponents of responsibility and respectability in a modern day society are usually the children of parents who had neither.

Feck it anyway, reading the thread title I thought it was about the Quinns or RIRA!:D:D:D

I went to the cinema last year, the guy sitting beside my then boyfriend told him to stop eating his popcorn so loudly!

Its not as if he was baiting into the popcorn, I couldnt stop laughing.

Felt like going out and getting nachos and crunching on them. Fair enough if he was being really loud, but he wasnt! Id have been the first one to dig him in the ribs if he was!

As long as they are quiet during the movie, I dont care what happens before or after!

To be honest, I could do the same but I opt to go to the cinema a place where the movie is designed to be watch from the display to the sound, best place to watch a film and I go quite a lot.

Never came across scum in cinema, if I was getting abuse I would give some back.

What really got on my tits the last time I went was the guy sitting in front of me, his huge ****ing head was right in my line of sight of the screen and he was sitting perfectly straight? What do you say to him, Fat Joe told us to lean back ?

Maybe even start playing this song behind him ?

All about context though.

It's one thing casually dropping the odd expletive into a conversation among friends, quite another to hear same nastily directed at a cinema attendant going about his / her work.

Aww, the poor innocent cinema attendant - totally immune from stereotypical social profiling.

Why is everyone up on their high horse about this? The OP is right. Stop making smart ass comments like "call Joe Duffy", it's not contributing anything. The OP makes a valid point about scumbags being out of control. Society needs to step up to the plate and do something...it's all to easy to be derisive and sneer at the OP as if he has a bee in pants for moaning about something which is a problem everyone encounters everyday. Think of all the situations...cinema, bus, walking down the street. Can't think how many times I've crossed the street because of scumbags coming the other way...even today on the Luas I made eye contact with a teenage scumbag and he gave me a look as if he wanted to kill me right there...Should we be putting up with this crap? It should be the upstanding members of society who strut proudly through our streets without fear, not the low life, uneducated, machoistic phlegm that we have now.

You seem to be under the impression that kids can't behave anti-socially because that's "just what kids do".

I'm not singling out the kids at the cinema but using them as an example of the kind of culture these kids are growing into where its okay to be rude, foul, irresponsible and offensive to other people.

It is obvious he's looking to address the larger issue of scumbags out of control in a general sense...

If it was just scumbags in the cinema, then that would have been sorted by now.

Well its not really. But it seems to have become acceptable. I personally don't like people who swear and use foul language a lot, but that's just me I guess.

Although it is not right when kids use foul language. Maybe its just me again but when I was young my parents would have swatted me if they ever heard me swearing so I guess I just find it very distasteful when I hear other kids swear or hear people swear in front of their children.

Antisocial scum...
