But, but it helps both the CIA and corporations keep track of you 24-7! You didn't really expect them to do that with just FaceBook anymore, did you?

You know what I wish? I wish that people when they come out of a movie theatre would save the discussion of said movie until after they've reached the safety of their vehicle. The poor schmoe standing there in the lobby munching on her popcorn waiting for her friends to get their snacks did not need to hear what you thought of the end of the movie she was just heading in to see. Thanks though for the spoilers. Muchly appreciated...not.

During one of my last trips to the movie theater, a man sitting a few rows ahead of me had his blue-tooth earpiece in. He wasn't talking on it, but it. kept flashing the entire movie. Soooooooo annoying.
When I saw Inception last week, I a woman pull out her BB/iphone thing when she walked in, and and it was so bright I immediately looked her way. It was brighter than a flashlight beam. I assumed she was shutting it off. How wrong I was. She pulled it out at least 5 times during the movie. Even if you're not talking on the damned thing, and just checking the time or looking at your messages, it distracts other theater goers. So fucking rude. If you're that important and can't afford to miss one freaking phone call, don't bring your ass to a room where other people are trying to get lost in the fantasy. Stupid twat.

Heh. My husband and daughters and I saw Inception on Friday night, and we started excitedly discussing it as we were leaving the theatre. My husband said "Uh, let's wait until we get to the car." "Why?" asked one of our kids. "Because some of these folks may be waiting to see the same movie, and we don't want to be Those People."

This happened to me as well but I was at Salt and the dumbass was sitting on my right. I finally couldn't take it anymore, turned to her and said:"Really? You're checking your e-mails during the movies? The damn light is bothering me so turn your phone off". She looked at me as if I was the one being rude for making such a request. She did not turn off the phone. She merely held it against her leg to block out the light. |

When I saw The Losers I sat in the back row, and sitting near me there were these two people talking to the characters in the movie very very loudly (one was a girl, I'm not sure about the other.) I asked them to be quiet twice, whereupon I was called a bitch and ignored. So pissed off was I that, against my better judgment, I threw my empty soda cup in the direction of their feet before I moved to the front row with them cussing me out the whole way.
After the movie they found me in the front row and the girl physically threatened me. I managed to avoid an ass kicking by playing deaf and keeping my eyes glued to the post-credits scene, and they left without carrying out that threat. I was so scared I was clutching my umbrella so I'd have something to whack them with if they came back on my way out of the theater.
So from now on, I will simply move instead of asking someone to be quiet and risk getting so pissed off that I do something stupid when they don't quiet down. Much safer that way.

You should have pulled out a meat thermometer. Only half kidding. You really shouldn't worry about getting into a fistfight when going to a movie for christssake. |

Last week, I went to a matinee so there weren't a ton of people. I walked in just ahead of a guy and went and sat on the left aisle in the last row. He sat on the right aisle about eight rows down. (The were two aisles on either side of the theater, rather than one aisle in the middle.) After the movie started, he moved to sit at the other end of the aisle where I was sitting. Ten minutes later, he moved several seats toward me. About ten more minutes later, he moved again, closer to me. I looked over, wondering why he kept moving. I got really creeped out when every time I looked his way, he was looking back at me. Then he moved again, so close that there were only about five seats between us. So, then I moved down a few rows, near a group of three or four women. A little while after that, I saw the guy go back to the other side of the theater, then walk down the stairs and out the door. He never came back.
I finally relaxed and started to enjoy the movie -- until one of the women I was sitting near popped in a piece of gum and proceeded to crack it loudly every three seconds for the rest of the movie. When she started doing it, I looked at her like, "Are you serious?" She gave me a totally confused look back, while continuing to snap her gum.
