Cell Phones at the Movies

We just saw Halloween and there were an entire row of giggling annoying teenagers behind us, next to me were a couple with what looked like a newbown, and in front of us were people with bright screened cell phones.

Fuck theaters. I'm going to start waiting until 2-3 weeks after the movies come out that way we're the only people in the theater with other poeple who think the same as we do.
 
I don't mind them unless I can clearly see the screen. Whenever I pull it out I put it inbetween the cushion of the chair and do it that way so that the only people that could possibly see it are the people sitting in front of me. I wouldn't mind having all cell phones being disabled in theaters though. It's time for you to watch the show, not to make a call or text.
 
I don't see how the light even bothers anyone. If I get a call, I'll pull my phone out on my lap and see if it's something I should take. If it is, I go outside and call the person back, if not I put the phone back in my pocket.

The point of having a cell phone for many people is for work or emergencies. I wouldn't consider your arguement strong enough to turn my phone off. I turn the phone on vibrate so I won't disturb anyone, and only use it in my lap, but I'm not going to miss a work call or emergency just because I'm in a theater. A first run movie is not that important.

Kids texting non-stop could be different I guess, but don't most people use the phone on their lap anyway? I don't see how that could be a big enough distraction to even care about.
 
Yeah, I was just referring to someones joke comment about a cell phone scrambler. That's a good point though, I wouldn't want to miss a huge emergency because I didn't want my Harry Potter's 5th movie to be ruined.
 
;815670']Well, in the town I lived in it was terrible. Most parents dropped their kids off and left them at the movies. That would have been fine if some of these kids were like, older than 10. The little shits buy a ticket and sneak into another movie that they aren't old enough to see. Then they giggle through the whole movie and make comments about it. I'll list a few of my favorite experiences:

Star Wars: Episode 3- Nerds huffing and snorting at everything in the movie, and pointing out little stupid things to everyone.

Harry Potter and something or whatever thingy I don't give a shit about- Kids. Tons of kids. My ex dragged me to a midnight showing (we were given the tickets) and I had tons of screaming kids.

300 (the second time) - Obnoxious young GI's commenting on everything.

Scary Movie- three big fat black women behind me that thought they were funnier than the movie. Would not shut the fuck up. I turned around and they said something about my 'white ass'. I showed it to them.

Spider-man 2 - some woman with a toddler who wouldn't stop crying. She thought spanking the child would shut it up. She was hissed out of the theater.
 
I had to sit through a harry potter movie with a friend of mines girlfriend chattering away about how "They left this part out" or "That wasnt in the book". It was totally fucking horrid. She did the same shit watching LOTR.
She wonders why i kept telling her to shut her cocksucker.

Of course im far far from innocent, though most of my talking and yelling at movies comes from being drunk and bored at the drive in with beefy and the crew and making rude comments about the movie or the weed someone close by was smoking. I however DONT talk in theaters.
 
Things in a theater that piss me off:

1. Cell phones. Turn that shit off. Don't text your fucking friends during the movie. It's annoying.

2. People who laugh at inappropriate things. For example: Laughing during the end of Saving Private Ryan. What the fuck was so damned funny?? Thanks for making the old man veterans in the theater cry, you little shits.

3. Teenagers. I'm sorry, I know I was one once and now I wonder why my ass was never kicked after a movie let out. Teenagers are terrible. They talk, giggle, make-out, and goof around during the movie. Their attention spans are barely better than a 5-year old's. They should have a "teen night" and all other nights they are banned from the movies.

4. Small children in rated-R movies. WFTery!! Case-in-point, someone brought their small child to Hostile 2. I actually gasped in a loud disapproving tone when they(mother and child) walked in. She glared at me and I glared back and shook my head. Stupid bitch.

5. Nerdy know-it-alls. I despise when these idiots begin blabbering during a movie. STFU, Spock. We don't care about your thesis on the space time continuum during Balls of Fury.

6. Tall people who deliberately sit in front of shorter people in an empty theater.
