ISn't there a little trailer with a request (demand) to turn of your phone?

If your not a doctor, you will be removed when you are talking on the phone during the movie, right?

In most Amsterdam (Pathe) theaters, you can tekst a number with your complaints. A steward will respond and intervene. I like that.

The only interruption during the new Bond movie, was the popping of Grolsch bottles by different people in the audiance. Wich is done as a joke (and I do find it very funny), because Heineken paid big time for the movie. I guess that's that strange ironic Dutch humour

They play those things so much at the beginning of each movie, back to back. I think it's funny because I've been there when someone has walked in talking loud after the movie started, it's like you can feel the irritation saturating the air, it's like a low hum, people seem to automatically shut up. I think it's the theatre I go to that plays the biggest role.

I was once in a crowded movie theater, and there was a couple who for some reason was not sitting right next to each other, but the woman had moved across the row from her husband and left her jacket beside him.

When her cell phone began to ring, the man got embarrassed and flustered because it was not his phone, and not his jacket, but wanted to do something about it.

So he got up, picked up the jacket and threw it into the side of her head

I will only go to small privately owned community theatres, otherwise I just wait and watch at home

Location, location, location. I only go to movie theaters in certain areas, where I know folks will behave. Can't take these mfers trying to act 'hard'.

the best 2 for me have been chelsea clearview and the kips bay theatre (i forget which chain)

for whatever reason, theose 2 generally attract less idiots.

At the cinema I go to people stop talking when the film starts, and when a child butts in with their idiotic commentary the parent tells them to shutup. Didn't realize I was so blessed.

Last time I was in the cinema where people were having a good old chat, the master threw an empty drink cup at their heads and told them to STFU Lovely.

>Go to some place I never been before to watch a movie

>Black dude saying snarky comments through out the movie

>Kids on their phone texting making noise

>I leave like a gentleman isntead of shouting at people

Question: Is it a reasonable assumption when u go 2 the movies that people will be quiet and watch the movie? I just had the worst time imaginable at the movie and Saturday and reaffirmed why I don't go 2 public theaters any more.

I really wanted 2 see Flight with Denzel and go not wait until it comes on DVD so I decided 2 go see it at the theater. I have seen less than 5 movies at the theater in the last 10 years so I thought, how bad can it be? Here is my short story.

Couple sitting in my row: Female on the phone, while they both talk during the ENTIRE movie.

When they weren't talking, the guy was moaning and making sounds during interesting parts of the movie.

The couple in front of me was talking on and off while the man played solitaire on his phone and read his text messages.

The teenagers behind and 2 the left were carrying on a conversation the entire movie.

The couple on the other side of me had a baby who was playing with a rattle until he finally fell asleep.

The couple behind my left ear was talking so loud I could not hear the movie. I tried my best 2 block it out but I finally snapped. I said as loud as I possible could, "CAN U PLEASE BE QUIET.....PLEASE, DAMN"! The last 30 minutes of the movie when off with a hitch. But I learned a lesson, I will NEVER go 2 a public movie theater again......PERIOD.

Don't blame ya. Even if I had more interest in non-doc flicks, I don't know how often I would brave the theater. I continue to be amazed at the way some people conduct themselves.

Relative to most Americans, we're very. I'm talking about the way people, in general, conduct themselves, in general.

LMAO, to me it seems the lesson you should have learned was to tell those morons to shut up earlier in the movie. They obviously listened to you when you finally did speak!

I've done well just waiting 4 the DVD 2 come out. I'm going back 2 that and my solitude of my own theater. My 6 month wait 4 Prometheus is over tomorrow.

By now you know it wasn't worth the wait.

Ironically, this was the movie that got me back in the theatre

after i gave up going in the early nineties because of what you described.

i'd have left with a refund but not without letting stink bombs off first & then causing a scene in the foyer

oh hell no!

i would have complained to an attendant & gotten my money back.

shit like this happens all the dam time...Im sick of it, thats why we have a big screen TV...

so i dont have to PUT UP WITH OTHER PEOPLES SHIT,

sorry bout your movie...

See you can't take Johnart anywhere.
