I think you hit the nail on the head.

Black people around here are too busy begging for money.

I know, where the hell do you think the yelling at the screen stereotype came from? Old grindhouse theaters showed horror all the time and were filled with black people.

Same here. And also considering perhaps there's a certain kind they may like wheras most White people (I assume, not exactly sure) tend to love horror from a holistic point of view and just have favorite kinds. But I agree, wouldn't say they don't like horror (if anything I'd assume we'd be humored by it--when thinking about all the "horrifying" physical and psychological torment endured through slavery and the Jim Crow Laws and discrimination in the 50s and 60s in the U.S, to the covert forms today. But that's another debate.) But often to some Blacks (between the ages of 15-40 maybe) look at satires or remakes of such things as cruel irony that's humorous at the same time.

Yes, the screaming in the theatre, the talking about the movie during the movie, texting or on the cell during a movie, the walking through the aisle while the screen's playing-- so whomever's trying to make a bootleg dvd has images of people walking through because we were too lazy to arrive a half hour early if we wanted to buy stuff at the concession stands.

Now in terms of the making out during the movie? I think that started with White people and it kinda moved to all races. I know one of my friends who's worked in a movie theater for about two years now, got in good terms with the manager so he allows him into a secret back passage of the theater if he wants to have sex. I know.....probably not to your liking.

Sadly though.....VERY TRUE Stereotypes...:D Oh, my people ! :)

I'm talking more about the yelling at the characters and getting into the movie. "Don't go in there, he's in there! Ohhhhhh!!!"

Actually it's the teenage girls that have been pissing me off lately.

You're at a movie, turn the cell phone off and quit talking or even texting you dumb hookers! I'm trying to watch a movie!

Again....the other stuff we do....of course you'll find the younger ones doing that. The whole phone chat and texting business--there is no racial or gender divide--that's just young people period. But 9 times out of 10, young blacks are doing it maybe a bit more than others---unless the other races were or were raised or around people from urban public areas. Because then sometimes it's a regional thing.
