Everyone has at one time or another experienced being sandwiched in a cinema between a loudmouth yapping away on his phone and a gaggle of girls chatting away. But one cinema in the U.K. has had enough and is taking strict measures to ensure that audiences remain silent.
Prince Charles Cinema has just launched their own army of "cinema ninjas" dressed in full on black body suits. These ninjas are basically just volunteers who are willing to tackle chatty moviegoers in exchange for free movie passes. Here's someone's first-hand account from being shushed-by-ninja:
I normally hate noisy people in cinemas, but I got a call from my friend just as the movie started and thought I could get away with taking it. The last thing I expected was two completely blacked-out people suddenly appearing by our seats and give me and my mates a warning to shut up. It was actually pretty terrifying at first, but then I realised it was a bit of a laugh and a great way to make it clear what I was doing was having an impact on those around me. It certainly made me hang up and shut up for the rest of the film.
The initiative is apparently so successful, that two other theaters have followed suit. We don't know about you guys, but being accosted by a guy dressed in full-on black spandex is more horrifying than dealing with a little noise.
