Movie Theater and Cell Phones...

[Knifeman]

all I'm really saying is as a movie go-er, you should do as much as possible to not impede on the experience for everyone else. There's a reason they tell you three times to turn off your phones. There's a reason why they dim the lights.

They're creating an atmosphere where the movie can be enjoyed by multiple people.

Certain background noises such as crunching ice, popcorn, slurping soda, etc do NOT equal annoying electronic ringtone. People moving around does NOT equal whipping out your $600 Apple POS to see who sent you e-mails.

I certainly don't have a feeling of ENTITLEMENT enough to ruin everyone else's movie experience by having my phone on. Of course, it's not like I'm on a job where I'm on call, like a WHORE.

Once the movie started, we kept quiet, although one of the more obnoxious members of our group wanted to yell "Oh no! They said 'fuck!'" as when one of the actors said it, just to piss off the other guy.

You know something, as much as I despise movie talkers, as much as I despise obnoxious yelling in theaters, as much as I depise people swearing around kids, if I'd heard this in the context you just described, I would have laughed my ass off.

Loudly.

You said pretty much the same thing in a previous post, which we deleted. We deleted it for a reason.

Congratulations, you just got this thread closed.
