You R so right on this! I cannot tell you how many times i’ve seen people pull out their cell phones and text for the whole movie. It’s kinda akward because you want to yell at them so you can see the movie but if you do it would be really rude. So while they’re having the time of their life texting, your trying to see what little you can salvage from the movie.

Darren, come out of that corner. I was a little harsh. You are man enough to own up, so forget about it.

“And I think you all need to chill out about people texting or checking their phone clocks during movies…I’m NEVER bothered by that happening.”

NBA, if it doesn’t bother you, great for you, but when someone anywhere in my field of vision pulls out a cell phone with the screen lit up it is as if they have pulled out a flashlight and are shining it in my face. (OTOH, if they pull it out of their pocket real quick, with their hand cupped around it to block the light for a quick peek, that’s cool.) It is distracting and annoying to me and others, and in violation of the theaters’ (around here) rules. If I see it more than once, I am going to say something to the person, and if I see it again, I am going to have them thrown out.

If that makes me a bitch, so be it. I’ll be a bitch who actually gets to see a movie, instead of a cell phone light show.

I am hereby banished into a corner…a 24-hr timeout, solace and self-reflection.

I almost NEVER have these problems you guys are mentioning, I just must either a) live in a really good area of the country or b) just be really lucky everytime I go to the theater.

And I think you all need to chill out about people texting or checking their phone clocks during movies…I’m NEVER bothered by that happening.

The thing I hate about theaters is having to get there so early in order to get a good seat/waiting in line. And when my seating choices MUST MUST MUST include the back 2 rows in center, that’s a real pain.

I only go to a theater if there’s a MUST SEE movie out or matinees or after they’ve been out for weeks. Most of the time it’s not worth the price or hassle.

Darren, “nervous laughter” happens when I see something happen to a person in real-life. In Saw 3, I was laughing because I knew it was fake and that other people were freaked out by it. Don’t try to educate a 30-something on “nervous laughter” okay? You talk too much sometimes.

I usually sit in the middle of the theater, so the teenagers necking are mostly behind me.

But last night I was at a concert at a standing room only club, and the couple in front of me progressed from meaningful looks to um…provocative dancing as the night wore on. When she started LICKING HIS FACE, I pretty much had enough.

Save it for your car people, please. For the sanity of those around you.

I must emphasize that all this text and that list reverts to the original problem which is WE ARE TREADED BADLY BY MOVIE CHAINS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

1.Commercials
2.WAY TOO MANY COMMERCIALS,which applies to that point about people getting there at the very last minute.
3.We’re now paying for the rent,the employees,the concession stand,THE DAMN COMMERCIALS..and…and..oh yeah..the film.

I’m starting to think they could take out the film and we wouldnt notice.

So to a small degree,i can understand people not giving a crap.

The proles are going to have to stand up eventually.Or the proles are going to,pun intended,have to PAY for it.
