Movie Manners Courtesy Cards
How great is this? (h/t: DetroitPatriotette)
It has become commonplace for cinema chains to precede their features with announcements advising patrons to turn off their cell phones during the movie. But, with few exceptions, theatres won’t risk pissing off their customers by telling them not to commit a much more common cinema infraction: talking during the movie.People are so comfortable talking during the movie that if you try to quiet a cinema talker, he won’t even get embarrassed and shut up; half the time, he’ll get indignant at having his obvious violation of the social contract pointed out to him, and talk even louder.
To silence a cinema talker, what recourse do you have? Glarkware’s got you covered with the Movie Manners “Shut Up” cards. Handing one to a talker means that you don’t have to make a “shush” noise even louder than the talking. The vague wording of the text gives the (false) impression that the cards have been distributed by the theatre chain, lending the card-giving an authority that your “shush” lacks. They’re sold in packs of twenty, so that you can stock up to silence twenty talkers at the shows you attend, or leave some behind — perhaps in a cinema washroom — for other patrons to use. You know, like those little Jack Chick tracts…only for the cause of good.
Sad that we need them at all, eh?
