Since there is no rants and rave forum shit I need somewhere to rant. Why do people need to clap, applaud and yell through movies? I went to the movies tonite. The movie was good and I would have enjoyed if it were not for the excessive yelling and clapping.
I mean wtf are you clapping about? Who the fuck are you talking to when your yelling at the screen? The stupid chick that I went to the movies with pissed me off even more talkin me to death through the flix. I wanted to turn to her and say stfu so many time.
The actors can\'t hear you people. This is not a live event. Pissed me off.
I actually went and complained to the manager and he offered me free tickets but I have no desire to ever return to that cineplex ever again.

I feel like I\'ve been here before.
-
no independant cinemas in your town?

I thought it was just us until i went to the uber nice theater that i usually go to now and man was i wrong. There were these stupid ass girls in front of me that i just wanted to choke out because they would not shut the f*** up. It was a really big movie too and i think i ended up kicking their chairs. I dont remember. I guess my theory on going to the whitest theater ended up not working out too well.
Acutally, the theater seems to be flooded with ghetto ass kids recently and the change was like an epidemic and it happened so fast. Im talking about super suburban, richy theater that is being literally overrun. Dont get me wrong, I love my people like anybody else but i go there to escape the ghettoplex. All my friends (3 black guys and a cuban jew) agree that the change in demographic is just sad among other things. At least most of the movies ive seen there have had little to no side commentary. One thing though is that the place is left a mess.
At the local ghettoplex it happens sometimes and then it doesnt others but i know how you feel man. There have been a couple of times where everybody was yelling at the screen. When i saw SAW it was more of a collective yelling and i guess i feel bad for those people that werent into it but 90% of the people were saying something and in a way it made the movie better but such experiences are few and far between.
Sorry for the tirade/rant w/e.

I have to go to one across town, the one right by my apartments is over run with high school teenagers and is quite annoying.
-
doesn\'t happen much here.
if i remember, ryu says its ok to do it.....
-
Ryu\'s my byatch.
Fortunatly I don\'t see people doing that here. Although I hate it when people laugh at something that\'s not really funny.

What movie?
In my experience, the only way my theater experience has been compromised was either people laughing (which is perfectly fine and almost enhances certain funny scenes) and people kicking my chair. Plus crying babies, people explaining the movie to their friends, and of course.. that one time during The Two Towers where the jackass teens behind us did everything in their power to annoy the rest of the audience. Physically.

Because the price of hot dogs & stuff is too high.

Rather it is the ghetto plex or not. I think people generally think it is ok to clap and such during movies.
When I went to go see Hide and seek. People where screaming and yelling at the screen. It\'s a universal stupidity. I would have gone to my favorite theater the Imagine.
It was late and I did not want to travel the distance. Next time I will let no obsticle stop me from enjoying a movie.

Yeah, I remember that forum. That got me to wondering what the other forums were...hmmm
But, no, I have never had the loud people and clapping people problems at our theater. I don\'t go enough to know though.
-
I brought this up before... People that applaud once movies are over should be shot in the face with huge doses of my semen and then get buttf*cked in the ass with hot iron spikes.
-
i don\'t mind people applauding when a movie is over. i see it alot at the independant cinemas where a film actually means something and you don\'t just watch shit blow up for two hours.
-
A few middle school kids were saying stupid shit during all of the quiet parts of The Count of Monte Cristo. Me and my buddies told them to shut up and they refused. They continued to yell and scream and laugh and make 3rd grade potty jokes during the serious parts of the movie. So me and another friend [he\'s 6\'5"] went over to their chairs, got up in their face and yelled [size=18]STFU...NOW![/size] And then, for some crazy reason...they stopped. :) Other people in the theater seemed happy about it once they stopped making noise.
-
I remember when I was like 8 and I saw Batman Forever with my grandpa... These ladies behind us kept talking, and my grandpa turns around and says, "Can you birds quit your chirpin?"
It was funny.

Oddly enough, this exact thing happened to me this weekend. I
was in Toronto for the night, so Kyoko wanted to see The Curse.
So these two complete ni**ers sit next to us, with like 8 others behind them, all stoned to the bejesus-bells. Those fuckers laughed hysterically at everything anyone said in the movie and they were talking to each other across rows and shit, talking on their cellphones. So, 15 minutes in, we just left, and the two mokeys had to get up so we could leave, and the 1st one said something to me like "oh it\'s like dat, huh?" and the second one on the outside intentionally tripped Kyoko, and the whole monkey gallery started whooping it up like chimps at feeding time. So I got in the dudes face after Kyoko called him a f*cking asshole, and the whole posse started up, so we got out of there. Not to be a racist, but goddamn, those guys were stereotypical thug-ass wannabe gangsters. I feel bad for black poeple who are actually polite and trying to be productive in society, \'cos those fuckers are keeping them down, not "the man"....

I saw Oceans 12 with a group of friends and there was this bitch next to me who kept talking on her cell phone. I wanted to take the cell phone break it and throw the pieces back in her face. I go to a movie to be entertained, not listen to what you are gonna pick up after the movie or what your kids want. OMG, STFU.

Man that post stared off fucked up. I can\'t believe you had the balls to use those words. Luckly this shit wasn\'t told to me in person.
-
I apologize. I meant to say "simian-americans". :rolleyes:
I was going off the fact that the distinction between black people and ni**ers was already made in this thread. I hate to pull the "I\'ve got a lot of black friends" thing, but I do. I have a studio, and produce hip-hop tracks for some local guys. They\'re real cool people, and would NEVER act like those assholes did. They all have jobs, and they would never come back later to rob my studio. I could never imagine those cats acting like monkeys.
And let me qualify that, too. These pricks were actually jumping up and down in the theatre hooting, grunting and waving their arms around. No f*cking joke here. I was shocked, I thought "don\'t they know what they look like?"
So I do sincerely apologize to anyone I offended, but that\'s how I saw it. I wasn\'t calling any of the people here those things, and I never would. Even though we may have different ideas, I respect everyone here. I guess I just get tired of having shitty stuff happen to me caused by people like that.
Where I live is a nice neighborhood in the city. My apartment complex is expensive, so it\'s full of young doctors. Most of them work at the hospital on the "east side". Every week 4-5 cars get broken into for pocket change, and if they can\'t find any, they just litter our lot with whatever\'s in the car. We have it all on tape. Guess who? Yup. People just like the ones in the theatre. And when they end up shooting each other, who patches \'em up at taxpayer\'s expense? The doctors they stole from. Every crime ever comiited against me has been by people like that. 3 cars broken into, an apartment broken into in broad daylight, and 1 mugging. How am I supposed to feel?
I\'m not a "priveleged white kid" either. I grew up poor, on food stamps, no college, (couldn\'t afford it, and no financial aid, \'cos I\'m white. Thanks, affirmative action!) and I worked my way to where I am today, starting out cleaning toilets & ovens in apartments that my company owns. Now I\'m doing well, and I\'m sick of having my shit ruined by people like that.

nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade

"i love black people, but i hate niggers"
~Chris Rock 1996
oh, and ask Bill Cosby how he feels about unproductive black citizens in america.
-
Why would i need to do that? Who gives a flying f*ck. Nobody likes unproductive anybody\'s. I hate ghetto f*ckers that play off their own stereotypes and bring nothing but bullsh*t to the table. Trust me. And Chris Rock is chris rock. I know we live in an "equal society" but lets not go around doing the whole, well if he said it then it must be ok for me to say it bit. In most cases i dont care. My first comment wasnt too serious in the first place. Some people are just sensitive.
Chizz i know you got caught up in the establishment of who\'s who and it makes sense but the words themselves have too much history to just shoot like we\'ve been living in harmony for decades. I guess it depends on what mood you catch me in really. I dont mean to go off on anybody. Shit ive had friends that turned into straight up skinheads. Oddly enough we, just got used to shooting shit about eachother that we could actually have a conversation.
Meh. Doesnt matter really. I feel your pain though.
blah

I have been around some of the sorriest rednecks and poor white trash i have ever seen. Foodstampt toating, ghetto living white folks. I\'ve seen ghetto ass black folks and ghetto as white folks.
And MM your an asshole nobody need\'s you chimming in adding flame to a fire.
I remember when I went to the ghetto plex and these guys ran up to the actual movie screen. And started dancing and rapping the songs that where playing in the movie. I couldn\'t believe how ignorant people can be.
I recall another time when I though the further and more white I went to a movie the better off i thought I was. Well the previews had just ended and the movies was getting ready to start. And all of a sudden I hear the dumbest shit I ever heard in a theater. "Who threw the egg" It was repeated 3 times. Then I heard a women yelling somebody hit me.
This guy gets up out his seat and confronts these two guys. Next thing I know white folks are fighting in the theater. I couldn\'t believe it.
Chizz: I understand how you feel when some motherfuckers are just being ignorant. But people are ignorant all around. And you may have a ghetto pass. I\'m sorry but those are words that should never come out of a white man\'s mouth. No matte how cool you are with black folks. It just never looks good.
Like Nicon said the words themselves have too much history. Funny thing is if I had did the same thing and was talking about white folks like that nobody would care.
-
I guess white folks who aren\'t "white trash" or "rednecks" don\'t care that you throw those epithets around so freely. I don\'t. Why? Because I feel no need to protect those people. They are just as much of a waste of air as their black counterparts.
-
I hate people in general.
You guys suck.

i can\'t believe i missed this thread..well at least up to chizz\'s post...nicon, qdog you cats are 100% right..chizz as cool as you are with any black folk, saying nigger and monkey..just goes to show to some degree your ignorance and a sense of racism within you...it\'s not all your fault tho and i don\'t want to get into a history lesson here, but nigger does not mean a stupid black person..it means an ignorant person in general...
wow chris rock says it so it must be true! :rolleyes: s**t i like chris rock but just because he\'s black and made that comment reflects his ignorance as well...how would it sound if i stated yea i went to the movies and these fuckin\' crackers with was makin all these dumb ass comments and pullin their pants down in the the theater? f**kin white garlic smelling assholes they think they own everything..
see even tho i don\'t have a racist bone in my body, that s**t sounds foul and anybody would look at you in a different light for sayin s**t like that! some white people such as yourself think it;\'s ok to throw that word around like water, especially when black enertainers throw it around trying to distinguish themselves from the word when it doesn\'t even mean a ignorant black person in the first place..
Chizz i know you throw alot of racial sterotypical stuff around here and trust, i don\'t get offended by it because alot of it is funny as hell, and i know that\'s just what it is..jokes...but when you say s**t like that on a serious level "niggers monkeys" it goes back to what we was talkin about in the academy award thread...all people need to be looked at for what they are..ass holes are assholes no matter what color they are...
of course this doesn\'t fall all on your shoulders, black people use the word so much that even white people feel it\'s ok to say it...it\'s just plain stupidity all around...i know this has gotten long but i had to address this. Chizz i feel your pain at the movie theaters but believe it or not white people, particularly young white teens do the same exact thing...see that separation? i used young white teens when i could\'ve just said young teenagers in general...this racial divide will always continue as long as we maintain this type of mentality........

"how would it sound if i stated yea i went to the movies and these fuckin\' crackers with was makin all these dumb ass comments and pullin their pants down in the the theater? f**kin white garlic smelling assholes they think they own everything.."
I think there must be a difference between whites and blacks then because I don\'t take offense to that at all. I just assume you mean trashy white people. I realize I am not a trashy white person. If I were a trashy white person then I still wouldn\'t be insulted because you are just telling me what I am.

You know why racism doesn\'t bother white ppl? It\'s because they have always been the one\'s dishing it out.
Words like "Nigger" and "monkey" are words that have been historically deployed against people of color. Words like "honkey", "redneck" and "cracker" hardly qualify as the same. The words excite laughter more than anything else. I mean you can even say that they aren\'t racial slurs to begin with.
White perceptions are what end up counting in a white-dominated society

-
nope...im too lazy

Lesson #1: It\'s ok for black people to say cr*acker, wh1te tr*sh, and h0nkey. Bad for white people to say n*gger and m0nkey.
I can live with it, the last thing I want is to be pwned in a pizza place. But honestly, I wish I could fast forward about 500 years so talk like this wouldn\'t even need to be explained. And I could also test drive that flying Lexus I\'ve had my mind on.

Smell the coffee. No we dont. And its generally accepted that people within a culture can make fun of eachother that way. But if i went up to some italian guy and started acting all friendly calling him a fob, wop, daego, etc. he probably wouldnt like it. Another italian might be able to but not me.
And black people say "nigga". Big difference. If any black person heard somebody fully annunciate nigger, trust me, you would get a few looks if not more.

Redneck isn\'t a racial slur. It is just a word referring to southerners. White people use it all the time when someone is either "stupid" or grew up or acts like they are in the country. Cracker is a racial slur.

Winner of the most ignorant post award! If you think that racism doesn\'t bother white people, then you\'re an idiot. Saying that words like "honkey" "excite laughter" (whatever the f*ck that means) just shows that you are racist. What if I said "nigger" isn\'t so bad, and it "excited" laughter from me? White-dominated society, huh? Interesting. Sounds like victim mentality to me.

I think you have already won that award buddy. The word "nigger" that you like to throw around so freely is a word that throughout history has been used to defame, destory, and hinder black people. And without any regard for decency you let words like that just roll off your tongue.
And the fact that you were on this forum calling black folks "niggers and "monkeys" and nobody but the black members on this forum seem to be the only one\'s concerned about it.
I don\'t use the words "honkey and Cracker" to descirbe people who are white because I have respect for human life. Even though I feel those words don\'t carry the same weight as words used to describe African Americans. Majority of white people that you ask about the words are not even bothered by it. Simply because white people have never been oppressed and brought down by the terms. The terms have know historical value at all. And since this is a white dominated society only their perceptions will matter.
You are trying to say nigga and nigger are not the same word? You have to be kidding me...
Yes they do have different meanings. They may not seem different to you because you are on the outside looking in. And you really don\'t understand black culture.
-
So you are saying the term nigga is part of your culture? If I were black I would be embarrassed to claim that.

Don\'t put words in my mouth. If that is exactly what I was saying I would have said it. I said you don\'t understand the culture.
Meaning you may not understand what the terms means or why we use it anyways. Please don\'t put words my mouth.

Personally i dont throw the word around but they are indeed different. Theres just no way that you can say that they are the same word. I mean, there is, but culturally they really arent in this day and age. Sure its derrived from nigger, and over time its been flipped and people use it - sad (perhaps) but true.
Like i said, if somebody were to fully annunciate nigger (even a black person), they would get some looks. Its just that different and thats why i call it a different word.
Its really not worth arguing over. Just take my word on this one.

Nothing like beating a dead horse....... Been there done that LETS LIVE IN TODAYS SOCIETY. I would think you would want to move past that it was a terrible terrible time in american histroy YES AMERICAN mine and yours. People keep bringing it up over and over and it doesnt make sense to me.
Im starting and all white network where everyhour we are gonna give away a scolar ship to one white child every hour but you have to be white to get the scolarship.
How well do you think that would bode? NOT AT ALL, but then again we were not opressed right? never in history where we opressed so it doesnt make it right for us to want that? Well if I wanted to dwell for the rest of my life I could blam the English for the shit they did to my ancestors oh wait but that doesnt count?
Maybe the station would be an all jewish station with scolarships for JUST jewish kids.... Seems to me they were opressed?
I realize again they was some seriouse shit that happend in the past and i think it sucks BUT IT WAS THE PAST get over it. I think it bad thar my best friend struggles every day working two jobs and going to college because he cant get an scholarship yet another dude we know who is black got a great scolarship becasue he was black.

That is why racism will always be around because of thinking like this.
-
Cyrus does have a valid point Quddus. Why should minorities receive benefits others do not simply based on their race?
-
And Chizz...I don\'t think your a racist. I just think you got kind of upset at those kids or whomever that was behaving real retarded in theater and just got pissed off.
And when your real pissed off you say things you really don\'t mean. I done it before so I can understand were you comming from and I just want to end this at that.
Because this is kind of going off topic and becoming a racial thread when I don\'t think none of you guys are racist.
-
Q on the contrary racismn i belive will always be around because PEOPLE like you force it to be around. Just keep bringin it up and bringing it up. Its kinda like when you where a kid and you had an uncle or older sibling that just teased you cionstantly. Do you rember when they finally stop. It was right around the time that you stop making it a big deal.
We as a people need to adress the issues and move past them, but we dont we subsidize them and try and pay them off only compounding the problems. Why do you thinkg there are so many Idian Casinos.

You analogize the suffering of an entire people to sibling teasing. And I don\'t think we will ever move past race. It will always be and issue. No matter how hard we try and put it behind us.
If I don\'t achieve or recieve something I don\'t blame it on my color. Although there may be factors in society where you cannot deny that race may have played a part in the situation. I try not to use the color of my skin as tool for my success or lack there of. A lot of things have to change. But to say that taking away scholorships for under privilege black youths will make things more balance is not the place to start.

Wow lets be over dramatic huh? So denying underpivilaged white kids of the same money is what exactly? That\'s a bit like the pot calling the kettle black don\'t ya think? :fro:
The jews had a shit load more suffering than you will ever imagine yet we give them nothing special?
My point is the a racial ignorance everywhere but I belive the biggest one is the fact that we give race so much POWER...
angonize the suffering of an entire people please?? what the difference between that and what women had gone through in the same time frames?

Black people say cuhhhhh? I dont think I have ever heard one person in my life say the word cuhhhh.....but maybe you live in some wierd area.....
Where the hell do you all live that people act like that in movie theatres? I\'ve never seen or heard anyone do any of those things at the hundreds of movies i\'ve ever been too.
Also I must agree with Cryus, people complain of how they as a peoples are "hurt" by their ancestors being slaves. Oh and now they want "reperations". I don\'t hear about any reperations in other countries aroudn there world cause news flash people, America isn\'t the only country who used to have slaves. If the fact that your great great great grand father was a slave is keeping you down today, than you are just a moron. I don\'t hear any women whos great great great great ancestors who were servants wanting reperations for that......
To be honest, if you called me a redneck, cracker, have kids with my cousins own everything white person I could not care less....in fact I would probably laugh. People in today\'s society focus too much on the words that people say. All these weird people trying to outlaw the word god in the pledge, or gay cartoon characters really have to calm the hell down.
I\'m not saying it\'s ok to cause black people n***ers or monkeys, but if someone does sometimes people just got to chill. Most of the time theyre just playing around but if theyre not theyre just being ignorant and you should feel sorry for them.
Point is words are words nothing more.
Oh and lets not forget how some people do stuff to people just cause theyre white. Theres a place in my town called childrens village where kids who did bad things go to live. It\'s not like a Juvi or anything just another home so theyre allowed to roam around and do whatever they want. The majority of the place is black. It\'s right above a school that has a baseball field and playground. Me and my friends were playing on the playground because were a bunch of losers. There were about 40 of them on the baseball field. They start coming down from the baseball field to the playground yelling stuff so me and my friends start walking away and theyre following us throwing rocks at us. Eventually my friends start jetting, but me I\'m lazy, not fat, in fact I\'m one of the fastest kids in the grade, just lazy. And I\'m still walking and they catch up and I stop. One kids walks iup to me pushes me and says you wanna scrap? Two second later I get punched in the face by him and a couple of other kids who think theyre all tough, theres no doubt in my mind I could have messed them up, but as soon as I threw a punch I knew about 10 other kids woulda jumped me. Luickily they stopped afetr about 2 punches each and left. I asked why they hit me as theyre walking away and of coarse they had no answer, but it was pretty obvious if I was black, nothing would have happened to me.

damn...thought this would\'ve died off by now...
lets be clear
nigga--the way most blacks including myself greeted one another.... my menz, my partners, peeps, take your pick...in my youth i use to say that, not anymore tho...like i stated earlier i don\'t blame whites when they say "see you call each other "nigger" referring to DEanna. Rappers today use it frequently and white people are fully aware of it...but nicon cleared it up best when he stated there\'s a difference..hopefully i pointed that out...
nigger--name that most racist white people used to call blacks back in the day...and if anybody used this term using the full word itself to a black person, be prepared to get your teeth kicked in.....

I agree that they\'re 2 very different words. One is meant to be offensive, the other created through culture to show some level of mutual respect and understanding...erm...something like that.
Black people say cuhhhhh? I dont think I have ever heard one person in my life say the word cuhhhh.....but maybe you live in some wierd area.....
Confusion arises when people don\'t type things out. I\'m certain that she\'s referring "cuz." I hear people calling each other, and myself, that all the time.

Please. Just dont talk. No offense.
Id get into the fray but its too much to type ill probably end up sounding like im about to kill somebody and its most likely pointless (not to mention midterms).
Perhaps later if i have the time and the..... something to do it but i hope for my sake and yours that i dont.
Dont ask.

black people calling themselves "nigga" = ignorant
anything else is believing what Yo! MTV raps told you back in the 80\'s was cool
nice going
:rolleyes:

Just got me wondering whether you\'re thinking of having something to eat or something to throw at people who don\'t behave themselves... Now I\'ve got this image burned in my mind of a miffed woman flinging her half eaten bundle of joy at a group of misbehaving miscreants.
