Thread: Comment on; people who text message while watching a movie

I've had at least three movie-going expieriences almost completely ruined by people texting in the past year, which was nearly $30 of my money wasted. Thankfully, the theater I go to offered to give me free passes to make up for it. Unfortunately, you will never get the wasted time back. Life is a limited time offer.

Yeah, and he probably dumped it all on the floor in the dark before he left. So what time is it on the moon, anyway?

Yeah, I know what you mean. This one time, this guy came in wth sh_tload of plastic bags with drinks and popcorns and chips and hotdogs all for himself. And he keep on eating and eating and the sound of the plastic bag was driving me nuts. I was about to scream, "Damn it, if you wanna eat, go to a f cking restaurant for f ck sake!!" He didn't bring the food from outside, did he? He probably bought it at the concession...

I would suggest the cause and effect may be around the wrong way there. They are probably bored with the movie, which then causes them to start finding other forms of entertainment such as texting. Of course, I could be wrong... I was actually referring to several instances where people were texting / calling people from the beginning of the film, and never tried to pay attention... Ex. During No Country for Old Men , several teenagers were...

Like I said, I could be wrong... :) At least the one who missed the important scene had the courtesy to leave the cinema to take the message.

My preferred option would be "They should be strung up by their nuts". _____________________ www.bennymadsen.dk

I was hoping for something along the lines of "they should die in a fire while stuck in a theater overcrowded by people texting "OMFG FIRE!!!!!! Helpplzkthnx!" But my personal idea is more that when you go to a movie you turn off your phone -- not silent, not vibrate, OFF -- and end all conversations. The only sounds should be reacting to the film or those associated with the movie-going experience within reason:...

Interesting that this has been asked today, as I was moaing about it last night coming out of The Men Who Stare At Goats. The 5 people in the row in front of me were all texting at various points, and at one stage, were even showing each other pictures on their phones. I can't stand it, and as much as I don't understand it, I had to pick the option "they should have their moviegoing privileges taken away". Most...

I hate when people text or talk on their phones during the movie and usually they have bright screens! It usually is people who don't really need to be on the phone (not like doctors, firefighters and that) but teens, college students, wankers in general. I know of some of these people and I avoid going to the movies with them. (I know someone who does the facebook thing in the movies, during dinner and even driving) People acting like...
