Good Movie Manners Cost Nothing

[DaisyNukem]

My solution for movies is to always sit in the back row. I'm fanatical about it, and will often arrive over an hour early just to get the seat I want. My son and I were 2 hours early for our Harry Potter showing, and we had the best seats.

I find if there's no one behind me, I can't hear them talking. However, people who are texting during a movie make me want to throw things.

DaisyNukem We pick the same seats for the same reason! Also, no one kicks your seat.

Even though it was a weird distance from the screen for me, I enjoyed a yappy, full-house movie best (Pelham 123) in the last row. It really does drown out the cuckoos.

Today is my sister's birthday and she went to see Harry Potter with her husband. There were two empty seats left, with one seat being occupied between them. So she asked the woman in the seat if she could move over one, and the woman says, "No, I want to prop my feet up." (There was a rail in front of the row). Now, she could have moved over one and still had enough room to put her feet on the rail, but she wouldn't, so my sister had to sit on one side of her and her husband had to sit on the other side.

I am totally a movie shusher, and I really, really don't want to get stabbed with a meat thermometer. People suck sometimes.

Is that the new makeshift weapon, like boxcutters in the 80s? What's next, someone getting brained with a waffle iron for line cutting? What a sad, strange story.

Damn, people who do that shit shouldn't be allowed out of their cages.

And what kind of asshole carries a meat thermometer with them? They should go do prison for THAT alone.

Maybe there should be a law that if someone's on a cell phone during a movie, someone else has the right to blow that person's head off. Problem solved, except for the blood on the floor and seats, ewww.

I was thinking if they use a cell phone, they could get hit with a small, non-deadly electric shock through the seats. They could post warnings about it to avoid prosecution. Or maybe the shock would just run the battery dead on the phone.

There was actually a movement to make movie theaters dead zones and unable to receive cell calls, but some people say that's bad because there could be terrorist attacks in movie theaters.

That's a risk I'm willing to take. Besides, I would assume a theater employee would come in and stop the movie and make an announcement.
