Bolding mine.

It all makes sense now. I bet this is why suddenly it seems like everybody thinks it is ok to talk through a movie. It is concerned parenting teaching the kids that you discuss something as soon as it hits the screen and getting the parents used to actually doing so.

Now I know to next time just stand up and shout out "Godamit, let your kids be morally corrupted for 90 minutes but for the love of god (and he is a cineaste) shut the **** up!"

When I saw 'Hunchback' for the first time (at the El Cap), I sat next to a woman who was translating the entire film into Spanish for her elderly mother and child. It was very frustrating. There were no empty seats for me and my friend to move to. I was trapped. I was so going to say something but no matter what I said, I would have totally looked like a demon picking on a poor old lady and a child who didn't speak English. So I bit my tongue.
