I've never noticed anyone 'texting' in a movie theater.

I do notice when cell phones ring when I am at the movies.

I feel like grabbing the darn phone and crushing it under the heel of my boot; perhaps one day someone will do that, so I can start a thread to see how many members on WP have seen that happen :wink: :arrow:

I once had to tell a man to stop 'singing' during a live performance of Les Miserables (Lays Mizerablays for American members :wink: ).

He was clearly in love with the play and was getting carried away with 'the moment'; after a second prompting from me I was much relieved when he ended his contribution to the performance :roll:

I think he might have been a census taker; he certainly tried to test me.........but I had already enjoyed a very fine meal :wink: :arrow:

AHHH, this girl in front of me, who was like in college or something was texting CONSTANTLY throughout the movie and it lit up really bright they were sitting in front of us, we were in the very back. Especially when those advertisments play before the movie comes on that say's not to use your phone during the movie, but they still do it anyway, I wanted to through popcorn at her but my mom was with me >:(

But then again I probaly deserved it for going to go see eclipse....with a ton of teenagers in it.

whatever


You say that like you aren't one or something :lol:

& personally though, i've never really had a problem with people texting in theaters.
the cell phone screen lighting up isn't particularly distracting unless your looking for it, or are just particularly sensitive to the most minute shifts in back ground lighting when staring at a movie screen. now on the other hand, if they were holding it up above their heads so that it could shine in your face, then it might be bothersome :P .

& the advertisements really only say to turn off your cell so it doesn't ring, and so that people aren't talking during the movie. More of noise distraction issue than anything.

I guess the fact that you're blaming it on the fact that it's a room full of teenagers when you're one too; in fact at the very height/middle of the teenage years at that. 15's at that point a few years after hormones hit and a few years shy of the age when people really start maturing. It's a crazy age

oh the sweet, sweet irony

I hate when people text at concerts. Why go if you're not going to watch? Same goes for movies.

I hate it when people talk and text on mobile phones in the cinema as I'm trying to focus on recording the movie with my video camera, it's so rude.
