Loud movie theaters

It is rare that my family goes to movie theaters anymore. It is cheaper to buy or rent a DVD, pop popcorn on the stove, and open a soda from the fridge.
Although the sound usually is overmodulated with way too much bass to be comfortable for my ears...this wouldn't keep me from going to the movie theater...I miss the big screen experience...it's some of their patrons that are rude and unbearable...texting, talking on cell phones, talking to their neighbors...

Yes too loud is bad! But, no never bother to comment because I think it would fall on deaf ears
What did you think of Watchmen thou?
Uneven. Brilliant beginning. Great Night Owl, Comedian, Archimedes. Competent Rorschach. Lousy Silk Spectre, Doc Manhanttan. Bad musical scoring.
Very faithful translation of the book--complete with the shortcomings in the book.
Crowd noise is indeed one of the many reasons I won't go to theaters anymore. (The sound level of the movie itself, I usually don't have a problem with.)
That's what the critics have said. The film is too much a rigid translation of the book and doesn't quite appeal to the cinema audition. I think we'll wait for dvd, shouldn't be long if box office figures don't live up to expectations.
And also watching in comfort of own home etc...
That's funny, I was thinking the same thing when I saw it. I don't mind loud but the theater I was at was frickin' blasting. On a side note, unless they upgrade those lousy bedsheets they call screens soon, I think I'm going to start waiting for things to come to Blu-ray or at leat HBOHD. I mean seriously once upon a time the theater was the way to see a movie, nowadays I get a better picture from the 22 inch flatscreen in my office.
For some reason my theater, when it plays its opening "digital theater" logo, plays the sound painfully loud like a siren and I have to plug my ears every time. Then the theater logo plays, which is also painfully loud. Then the trailers and the movie are several orders quieter than the stupid logos. Go figure.
I'm among those who doesn't mind a certain level of audience noise. I see it as part of the movie experience - the sound of popcorn being munched, people laughing, the murmuring at certain scenes, and yes, even stupid comments from folks sitting close to you who are talking too loud. Movies were meant to be viewed in a big crowd of people, IMO, and sitting at home watching a DVD just isn't the same, no matter how great your TV and sound system might be.
Its like when I recently saw the "Friday the 13th" remake. Three teenagers were sitting behind me and they talked through the entire movie nonstop. But their conversation and jokes were so f*cking funny I enjoyed their commentary more than the movie itself.
But I realize I have a high tolerance for this sort of thing - it drives most of my friends crazy when people are talking.

Saw watchmen the other night. The picture and sounds were awesome. I think volume was set at a perfect level as I didn't have any problems whatsoever. And it was a newer screen too, I thought I was high or something when they widened it after the trailers to adjust it for the width of the movie.
