Makes for a bit of a boring hangout if you both just sit silently there through the movie. At that point might as well watch it separately and then get together to discuss it.

Cinema being different of course, you're not supposed to talk there to begin with

Different strokes for different folks I guess. If you like talking during the movie that's fine, just don't do it with other people that prefer quiet.

I haven't had anyone invite me over to sit in complete silence yet but I wouldn't imagine those people want people to come over anyway.

The problem solves itself hah

Yeah everyone in this thread probably being too literal, myself included lol.

Like, I'm not gonna get mad if someone makes a quick comment or quip during a movie. I'm not asking people to sit there in silence with absolutely no interaction while the movie plays. I'm just asking people to not try and start and maintain a conversation while the movie is playing, which I think is reasonable.
