I guess you are one of those assholes. It's not a powerpoint presentation it's a god damned movie and i don't want your phone wrecking it. I should not have to concentrate to avoid being distracted by you. I should be able to relax and let the movie draw me in.Babypowder said:
They should design the theater to block out signal so phones just don't work there.
The Alamo Drafthouse is the best theatre I've been in, every time I'm in Austin I check it out a few times. :thumb:
SPs are much better with their manners these days. But, not too long ago I was on my last mile with the sp her phone buzzed. She leaned over to pick the phone up from the night table. PM's it as if I wasn't existed! ( I was still on top of her,ofcourse)
and I guess you'd say the same thing to those of us who hate people talking ( even softly) throughout the movie? It is called a distraction and it is rude.
The only phone that would distract me from a movie is my own. thats why i put it on silent or leave it in the car. im looking at the screen i dont have to "concentrate". if you are looking around the theater for phones that are turned on then you have no attention span or stop watching Twilight.
i think you need to read my first post again.
I think you need to stop being so self centered and be a little more considerate of others. With stadium seating the person behind you will have the bright light from your phone in their direct field of vision, so much so that they can probably read your screen.Babypowder said:
Sounds is not the issue, basically you're shining a flashlight into the eyes if the people behind you and it is very, very annoying.
they are not shining anything into the eyes. thats the dumbest exaggeration ive heard this millennia. and if you are trying to read 10 point font on a <= 3.5 inch screen several rows down when you have a huge screen in front of you then you are definitely not paying any attention to the movie and wasting your own money like a fool.
I always sit closest to the back as possible and the lights from phones never bother me. you need to work on your shitty attention span.
Yes, you are right, and all these other people just have a vendetta against cellphones.... Give me a break.
So maybe you don't find it distracting, but many people do. I think it's a natural inclination to look at a bright light when it lights up, drawing your attention away from the movie screen. When that happens, you lose the mood of the movie as you're brought back to the "present" or whatever you want to call it. What gets me is that almost all of these texts are unimportant, yet people feel justified in sending/reading them anyway despite knowing that many find it distracting. Isn't that the very definition of selfish? A fuck you to everyone else in the room, just so you can talk with someone you'll see in a couple hours anyway about stuff that really doesn't matter.
This isn't hypothetical. I have sat behind assholes like you, and yes, that is exactly what happens: It shines in my eyes. You can debate all you like, but you are literally arguing with what I've seen with my own eyes.
You just live in some self centered closed off little world and you're unable to relate to the impact you have on others around you, is my conclusion. You're a cad. A boor. You ought to be chucked out of the theatre like that woman in the recording up thread, as your behavior is obnoxious. Now, had you simply not known, you could be forgiven for annoying people by accident--but here you have been told that it's annoying, and you are carrying on like a complete boor, insisting on your right to be a disruptive asshole, and ruin the experience of others.
People all the way to the back of the theatre behind you have a clear view of your screen in stadium seating, but obviously it is most annoying to those sitting directly behind you. They really should just reach out and smack the side of your head.
quit looking over peoples shoulder and watch the fucking movie.
you must be the theater wall because that is what it feels like having a discussion with you. I am the 'people all the way to the back behind YOU'. i do have a clear view. i also have a great view of the screen. i dont have to move my head to see whats going on in the corners of the screen. every phone is in front of me but i have an amazing view of the screen. I dont let irrelevant things bother me. unlike you i don't have ADD nor do i have a goldfish brain.
again the theater wall is an inanimate object and cant react to anything. however if some one did put their hands on me for no reason while im watching a movie they would get stomped the fuck out and get a pepsi shampoo. but i doubt you even read this post because your ADD probably kicked in and can't keep from looking away from the light like a mosquito or a moth.
i know I am Rhubarb. I know.
