Call me whatever you like. You're wrong on the facts, and in addition to that, you're actually a jerk.fuji is a goldfish with ADD
im not wrong at all. you have no point. Talking in the theater is infinitely worse than checking a cell phone silently. yet you are the asshole that does both in the theatre.Call me whatever you like. You're wrong on the facts, and in addition to that, you're actually a jerk.
Yes, you are literally physically wrong on the facts. It's been pointed out to you by multiple people here. If you pull your phone out, it is in the field of vision of the people in the seats directly behind you. It's fact, whether you like it or not.
no it isnt. the screen is way above the peoples heads in the theatre. look at the screen dummy not men's laps.

that being said, in an environment where people eat smelly food and kids cry, I don't think looking at your phone screen is the biggest problem.
Your field of vision is much larger than the screen, you blithering idiot. No-one is saying that the phone blocks your view of the screen. What you're refusing to acknowledge is that the light from the phone appears in the field of vision of the people behind you, when they are looking at the screen, they can ALSO see the light from your phone below that, they can't avoid seeing it.no it isnt. the screen is way above the peoples heads in the theatre. look at the screen dummy not men's laps.
For those of us who are not distracted by the light from a screen or other such distractions, let's just watch the movie with all the lights on, and with everybody yakking away. If this will distract you, then it boils down to the degree of distraction you are willing to put up with. Some of us pay good money to watch a movie. We all have the option of waiting a few months to see it on TV, or download it in couple of weeks. But we go to the cinema to get the big screen experience. The least the other patrons can do is turn off their phones, and shut up. If they want to make a call or text somebody, then the simple solution is to go outside and do it. It's that simple. If they need to be constantly on the phone, go home or get outside the cinema. Don't go inside if you can't leave the phone alone for a couple of hours.
But its shining directly in your face? you're really dense.Your field of vision is much larger than the screen, you blithering idiot. No-one is saying that the phone blocks your view of the screen..
It undeniably is.But its shining directly in your face? you're really dense.
In any theatre with stadium seating, so any of the AMC theatres in Toronto, or any of the Silver Cities, or any other modern construction, if you pull your phone out and hold it in your lap, it is in the lower peripheral vision of the person behind you. I am not speculating here. I have experienced this directly. I'm surprised that you haven't. [\QUOTE]
Bull shit. I may only go to a few movies a year (silvercity), but you cannot see into the lap of the person in front of you. Their head and the back of the seat is in your field of vision, not their lap. You may not be speculating, but you are imagining and that's quite possibly why I haven't experienced it.
Just to clarify, and to save a trip to the cinema, google images "amc stadium seating" and from any of the images, figure out how it's possible to see their cell unless they are holding it up.

People don't put their phone in their lap. They hold it up about mid chest level in order to be able to read it. It's plainly visible to the people sitting behind you, and probably also to the people to your left and your right.I may only go to a few movies a year (silvercity), but you cannot see into the lap of the person in front of yoy.
Let's just agree on this:
If I'm sitting normally in my seat, and I am watching the screen, and I can see the light from your phone in my field of vision, then you are doing something wrong, and you should stop. If you're somehow bending over and concealing your phone so that you aren't disturbing anybody else--I mean, how should be people complain about something they can't see.
But if the person behind you leans forward and says, "hey can you shut your phone off", obviously they can see it, and they consider it a distraction.
Do you now agree that if your phone is in the lower peripheral vision of the person behind you, in their vision below the screen when they are sitting normally, and looking at the movie screen, that you are doing something wrong? If so, we're done.great backpedaling
if you arent looking at the screen and worried about some cellphone you are doing something wrong. you are done.
You didn't answer my question. Do you agree that if someone looking at the screen can see the light from your cellphone below the screen in their peripheral vision, that you are doing something wrong?if you arent looking at the screen and worried about some cellphone you are doing something wrong. you are done.
no. doors to the theatre open and close all the time letting in 100 watt bulb light. are you going to call the ushers for opening doors too? look at the screen dummy not mens laps
Ok, so even when you acknowledge the light is shining in peoples faces you still don't see the problem.Babypowder said:no. doors to the theatre open and close all the time letting in 100 watt bulb light. are you going to call the ushers for opening doors too? look at the screen dummy not mens laps
The problem is you are an ass.
