Like when you and others are watching a movie whether it's at a house or movie theater and someone is constantly talking through the movie like they don't care! Especially by ruining the movie if that person had seen the movie before they will say out loud of what will happen next which just messes the movie up.
This is why I hardly watch movies in the theater anymore. At home I can watch blu ray movies on my big screen hi def dressed in my underwear with my balls hanging out

It does happen, rarely. When it does, if I am close enough to the offender, I turn and glare. If that doesnt get thru to them, I politely ask them to knock it off. If that doesnt work, its out to find a manager. It is rude behavior and it ruins the movie experience for those of us who want to watch in peace.
I can live with people enjoying a movie and talking about it a little. Unrelated conversation is irritating, though. The real problem, I think (and why I rarely go to movies anymore) is that there's always some kids texting the whole time and the lighted screen is distracting. Last time was 3 boys, all texting the entire movie. For $12 a ticket, and munchies costing more than my first car, I'll wait to buy most movies on DVD.
When I go to the movies, the people are actually really good about not doing that.
Its usually at school, or at home or at a party when people who are only there because their friends there [and to talk] won't shut up. I really hate it, too, but who wouldn't?
Your thread title sums up nicely why I haven't been to a theater showing of a movie for over 15 years.
The sense of entitlement, rampant discourtesy, and blank looks if you challenge their actions simply isn't worth the jail time I'd have to serve if I decided to raise their consciousness.
I lived with someone who talked through the movies, whether it was at home or in the theater, for 14 years. I finally resorted to closed captions when at home under the pretense that it was "me" who could not hear. Thankfully, in the theater they would politely whisper, thus avoiding scrutiny by others, but it was still annoying to me.
That, and driving 60 mph in city traffic with the cruise control on were only a couple of reasons for the "divorce".

Naw, it was the blinking right-turn signal that was never turned off that broke the camel's back, admit it.
Ask them to stop. If that doesn't work, then go report them. If the management does not go into the theatre and warn them (or remove them with the help of security). Then, demand your money back because they were inneffective at solving the problem and you couldn't watch the movie as there were no reasonable accommodations.
OR... You could try sitting behind them and every time they start up again, throw something at them! But use the cheap popcorn, the candy is too expensive. hee hee hee
