Definitely in the dark, and silent. When I'm watching something during the day, I'll close the blinds, sometimes even throw a blanket over those blinds, to try to make it as dark as possible.
Talking during movies is one of the things that annoys me most. I've never been in a real fight, but the closest I came was when watching Return of the King, there was this guy talking throughout the entire movie, and about a half hour from the end, I told him, "Shut up." He was a big chav type of guy, and he stands up and says, "You just tell me to shut up?" And I said, "Yeah." And you could tell that he was seriously angry, but then his girlfriend pulled him away and they left. So, the viewing was saved.
But seriously, people talking during the movie completely takes you out of it, and so does sarcastic laughing. Nothing makes a movie seem worse than someone laughing at a dramatic scene, and if it's a movie I'm liking, that really bothers me. It's fine to not like a movie, but just try to keep silent, and complain about the movie afterwards.
However, in defense of humanity, I will say that a good audience can make a movie so much better. When I watched Episode II at the midnight screening, it was probably the best filmgoing experience of my life. The crowd was so into it, especially during the Yoda fight, when you could practically see all the cynicism melting away from people. However, watching the same movie a month later, with only a couple of people, the bad lines stand out more, and it seems like a lesser film. |
