Sometimes the only time you get to see friends are at shows, and everyone pops out of the woodwork, that rarely happens to me at the movies. So it's natural to talk to friends whereever you see them I couldn't care less if people are talking during a show, but during a movie is annoying. Why you may ask? If I'm interested in the movie I might miss something something key to the plot, which might lessen the experience. Shows are generally loud enough that even if people are talking I can still hear it just fine.

Sounds like BS to me. If there's a lobby for people to talk fine, but you are always going to have people talking. Going to a show is like going to a party you are there to have fun, how you choose to do so is up to individual. Some people are going to drink, dance, some socialize and some will analyze.

That reminds me of a story. I had a few friends that went to see Techno Animal. Apparently their set are ridiculously loud, and there were tons of people constantly flipping them off and shouting obscenities. My friend Coby went up to speak to them after the show because he felt bad for the artists. They said they didn't mind, and they actually liked it, and said they get that everywhere. He later thought that maybe they were telling the audience fuck you by playing their music at such a ridiculous volume. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
