This is what happens when you talk in the movies

You can find your shoes somewhere down by the emergency exit near the screen.

I love American ignorance.

We do try....it's definitely better than taking a machete to someone because they were born on a hill that wasn't the hill you were born on....

I have a friend who calls me up to see movies with him but I hate going because he has this annoyingly loud Eddie Murphy laugh. He doesn't always cut his cell off either.

I try and go see movies early on a weekday to avoid ass holes like that.

 

[BlackLantern]

if I go to a movie with friends, I will either ask them to hand over their cell phone or leave them in the car....

Holy Crap!

I lived in Philly for 4 years and went to that Theater all the time - Philly is aweful for people talking in theaters...dont know what it is.

My girlfriend texts during movies. So I get the distracting BRIGHT screen of her phone glaring from the corner of my eye. Really takes me out of the moment.

She has this general attitude of, "I don't care," about it, too.

That's irritating, but I can live with it most of the time. It's the a-holes that TALK on their cell phones during a movie that I can't tolerate. I once took a guy's cell phone away from him during a film. The first call I let pass. The second call I asked him to put it away to which he replied "F**k you!". The third call I ripped it out of his hand, hung up on the person he was talking to (who he had called, by the way) and told him if he ever wanted to see his cell phone in one piece again, he'd shut up and watch the movie and I'd give it back to him in the end. Everyone in the theater applauded. He was a good boy the rest of the movie and he got his cell phone back at the end (and I didn't have to pummel him to death, either). I have also ripped the shoes off of someone who was kicking the back of my seat and refused to stop when I asked nicely and thrown them down by the screen. I figure if someone feels they have the right to be rude and want everyone to pay attention to them during a movie then I have an obligation to give them that attention even if it's not the kind of attention they were wanting.

**** and watch the movie.

On both occasions, what movie were you watching?

 

[rizzo51]

yeah, they should show this article on the screen before the preveiws begin.

 

[RootBeerMaster]

While I don't agree this guy should be parised. shooting another human beging is a bit extreame. The theator really needs to do something about people talking during a movie. I only talk during the previews and then shut up. I hate the girls on the cell phone the most. what am I going to do throw pop corn at them and go back to watching the flim?

Some one had the Nerve to talk on the phone during the DARK KNIGHT MOVIE. How sick is that one? while i disagree with shooting some one, I probably would have clapped that day. The Theators should throw talkers out with no refund.

The guy with the cell phone was the second Lord Of The Rings film. Packed theater, too. The guy with the shoes was either the second or third Matrix film, but I don't remember which.

I love seeing this thread in the page before you enter the Community forum. It says "This is what happens when you....", and the only possible thing I can think of is Walter in Big Lebowski.

Anyone talking, texting, or doing anything other than watching the Battle of Helms Deep needs to be drowned in a tub full of popcorn butter....

The way these people eat during the movie that would probably be a welcome feature to them.

I for it.

Remember this goes for Cellphones, I-pods and anything else has well.
now buy some of our popcorn.

Only in Philly. City of brotherly love, my ass

They were probably too busy talking to notice

^Well it's like Halo. You throw a grenade in, then run in shooting.

I can't yawn quietly

Colossal Spoons, people. He's here through Thursday. Try the veal.

Okay. Despite the fact we all get annoyed at people talking during the movies, does it really merit giving praise to someone who shot another human being?

No doubt it's extreme, but it just demonstrates the level of frustration that people have. Maybe movie theaters will get a clue and bring back attendants.

This story is just more proof you should never piss someone off. You never know who has a gun and is crazy enough to use it for a small reason like this.

That's why the highest amount of movies I've seen in theaters for a year has been 4. I usually see about 2 or 3 a year. The rest of the time, I wait for the DVD to either buy or rent

I've seen 3 movies in the last 3 years for that reason. The price of movie tickets and no movies I want to see are also part of it.

That's irritating, but I can live with it most of the time. It's the a-holes that TALK on their cell phones during a movie that I can't tolerate. I once took a guy's cell phone away from him during a film. The first call I let pass. The second call I asked him to put it away to which he replied "F**k you!".

Can I go to the movies with you? You're my hero.

You haven't kicked her to the curb?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I feel sorry for the family to see their father/husband get shot just like that.

Well if they all kept their norths shut then none of it would of happened. And by the sounds of it the guy who did the shooting asked them to be quiet, they arrogantly chose to ignore him so they got punished. I'm not saying i would just get up and shoot the guy, but i'd probably head butt him or something like that.

I'd grab the phone out of her hand and give it back to her after the movie.
