An apocryphal story...
I personally shush people and once bluntly informed a loudmouth that, as an usher, I'd throw him out of the theater without a refund if he didn't shut up. He complained to my manager, and my manager told him to shut up. So the guy complained to his boss, who threw him out of the theater. True story!
This can't be true, but it's wonderful if it is.
A major Mafia don who was also a movie nut once attended a screening with a real asshole, who kept talking loudly, yelling at the screen, etc. Finally, this don gets up, walks over to the guy, and quietly informs him, "If I hear another fucking word from you during this entire picture, I am going to shoot you dead and chop your corpse into pig food."
The guy didn't pay attention, and about halfway through, the guy gets up and goes to the bathroom...and doesn't come back.
The theater manager now makes a point of telling the ushers to shush loudmouths.
