question - movie going etiquette

People do things that are not always gonna be in accordance to how we think they should done. It happens in the grocery store, the bank, the office, driving down the road, waiting for your order at the drive through, and this is no different for me.
Everything in life results in the way we react to it. Its just something else that happens everyday, so I would have just got up, moved some where else and let it go..1 -
I would probably be a little annoyed. However I am also annoyed by noisy children in public places too. I recognise that I can't control other people's behavior and that they have as much right to be there as I have. Whether or not I or anyone else thinks they are ude they are going to continue to be who they are. So I get on with my day and generally don't feel the need to rant about the issue on line.0

What is CC/DVS?
Marquee Cinemas offers assistive listening and closed captioning (CC) devices in select auditoriums for patrons who may be hard of hearing or deaf. Assistive listening headsets can help to amplify a movie’s audio and dialogue more clearly. Closed captioning transmitters simply rest in a cupholder and can be adjusted to a guest’s line of sight to deliver a privately viewed written description of the film’s audio.
Guests may also take advantage of descriptive video headsets in select auditoriums. These headsets will provide narrative information about key visual actions, film setting, and scene changes for patrons who have low vision or those who are blind.
Please check with your local theater’s box office about utilizing a CC/DVS device to assist your next movie going experience.

I used to take a blind fellow to the movies when I was in high school as a community service kind of thing. We always sat way up front because no one ever sits there unless the place is completely sold out. It sucked for me but I wasn't really there to see the movie anyway.0

I can't stand when people talk and have told people to be quite a lot. It costs a small fortune to go to the movies. Don't ruin it for the people around you and if you do don't be surprised if you get a bucket of popcorn dumped on your head (that is the exact reason why those cone with free refills....who can actually finish one of those)
I was thinking the same thing. Most of the theaters in the city near our small town have descriptive video where the person attending has descriptions come through a set of headphones, thus not bothering others. Other than that, they should have sat as far from people as they could so they would not distract others.0 -

Very rude of them IMO. Being blind isn't an excuse for being a *kitten*.0

My chewing out is usually quite polite. I'd personally have been embarassed to have chastised a blind person and would have preferred to have skipped straight ahead to changing seats.

Thier blindness was not an inconvience.
Their behavior was distracting to others.
Separate issues.
Evidently, we differ on the definition of: chew out.1 -

It seemed pretty obvious to me that they selected a seat way at the back so they would have the best chance of being away from other patrons - ones who presumably could relocate easily.0 -

I think they just arrived too late and walked into a darkened theater. The lady commented that the movie had already started; it hadn't, it was just a trailer before the feature.
Had they been there 5 minutes earlier, they would have seen two h/c designated seats in the rear of the theater and could have sat there without becoming a distraction to anyone. I don't blame them for sitting where they did. It made the most sense for them at the time.
In addition to being blind, he had a difficult time walking too. ( by the grace of God go I.)
I felt bad for the blind gentleman. Heck, was really old too. He might not have lived long enough to see the film released onto DVD.

Yikes.
The handicapped seats though - I suppose they could be dual purpose, but I always thought about them as providing easier access for the handicapped, not necessarily, you know, keeping their potential annoyances away from everyone else.0 -

yeah, this guy would have qualified for those seats.
frankly, the way he was struggling to walk ( I saw him in the lobby after the showing) he could easily have been in a wheelchair.
Give the guy credit for getting up and out of his house.0
