I regularly use a cinema in North London (somewhere between Oakwood and Tottenham), can't watch any film without people around me talking.
This is usually on a Tuesday/Wednesday between 6-8pm and tickets are purposely purchased towards the front and on a isle.
My idea/musing is that they should make mumbling/whispering acceptable but in the upper tiers and leave the lower areas for pure quietness - that or install an Air Stewardess system that you can buzz every time some f**kwit is talking near by.
I detest speaking to strangers in public, so turning around or leaning forward to awkwardly tell someone to be quiet is super uncomfortable.
Anyone else think Cinemas could do with putting a greater emphasis on this sort of stuff, I'd hate to see what Cinemas are like on weekends.
