It drives me crazy when everyone turns on their phones the very second the credits start rolling at the end of a film. What happened to watching the credits, listening to the music or actually talking to the person next to you about the movie you just watched. As far as during the movie - forget about it - total distraction.

..good ad by the way.
 
Freakin awesome video!!! Thanks for posting it. I hate people who use their cell phone during the movie. I agree with all the points made already.
 
I was thinking of posting that too. That is fantastic. I hate people and their damn texts at theaters, though I hardly ever go to the movies anymore.
 
I thought the ad was fantastic. I am somewhat surprised there has not already been a lawsuit, but then again we are in the Magnited States of America, and maybe there that sort of thing isn't reglear.
 
This is why, as soon as I get a home, I'm going to invest in my own theater room complete with a popcorn machine. You like talking during the movie? You can giiiit out.
 
No, you'll just have to take my word for it. He sat close to the front, I was somewhere near the back and his screen lit up the whole theater. Ok, I'm exaggerating a bit, but I was watching him and the movie at the same time, so I noticed he was on his phone quite a bit.

And it's "Misses"...thank you!

Now that Deron is gone, it seems you've found another victim to stalk. Creepy. Anyway, I would have bet on Hayward. You must be having trouble tracking him down.


Also, if you ever get a track on Favors, please let us know. I am dying to find out what his daily routine is. What does he eat for breakfast? Where does he buy his clothes? How big is his johnny? You know, the usual stuff. Now get to work.

I would bet that if you complained to an employee about someone in front of you texting they'd get kicked out.

I would bet not. They may tell them to shut it off though. In the end you would miss more of the movie going out and finding somebody.
 
I've been to Alamo Drafthouse in Austin when Mr. Sinus Theater was allowed to perform there. People are really laid back there - I'm glad they put this jerk in his place.
 
People texting, so long as it is on silent, doesn't bother me. People talking on the phone though should be a bootable offense.

I am just the opposite. If somebody is talking very quietly on the phone it is less bothersome to less people than a cell phone screen that pretty much anybody behind them is being distracted by. Those white screens are like a flash light right in the face in a dark theatre trying to watch a movie. In the end neither of them should be done in a theatre. Turn the god damned phone off for 2 hours, you are there to get away.
