I didn't read the whole thread but I rarely go to the theatres anymore. I usually pick about 1 or 2 movies a year I feel are "theatreworthy". This year it'll be the new Batman film and the new James Bond. I also wait until the movie has been out a couple of weeks and go to the matinee(I know not possible for everyone). Usually by that time there's almost no one in the theatre and you don't have to worry about many distractions

thats not what im arguing here. 1. there are many theatres that ask for you just to silence your phone. 2 Fuji said that if he sees a cellphone in his peripheral vision then its being shined in his face which is retarded. i never said my life is ruined if i don't have my cell. did you even read the thread at all? or are u just reading posts with prime numbers or something? i said i either put it on silent or leave it in the car. but everyone here is acting like if some one checks there cellphone silently the whole entire movie is ruined for everybody which is complete and utter bullshit.
I admit that I've checked my phone in case of emergencies. You keep it down and out of general view.

If you have the room a hi def projector plus screen and 5.1 sound is pretty kick ass. Not a cheap solution but I love home theatre. No cellphones, if the floor is sticky I know it was me. :D

I usually only go to a movie theatre a few times a year, watching most movies on my home set up instead. In Florida there are some really nice movie theatres that are not crowded. In Toronto, as 'alwayslooking' mentioned, some theatres are OK for matinees. The worst are Colossus, Yorkdale, and Richmond Hill Silver City on Saturday nights. Better are Yonge & Sheppard & AMC Woodbridge on weeknights.

I have found that girls (16-25) on the whole cannot go 30 mins without using their phone for texting. Once they hit 25 it doesn't seem to be the same amount of usage. Even in social settings at restaurants, etc where a group of 20s people are talking, girls routinely pick up the cells when they vibrate and send short texts in the middle of listening to another person talking. To me of my generation this seems quite rude to the speaker, but I've never observed one of their 20ish crowd complain, as they all seem to do it. Perhaps it isn't considered rude anymore. Funny thing is the over 25 set doesn't seem to do it as much. Some do, but they are in the minority. Could just be the younger ones will, when older, all still do it, or else when they get older and have an SO or kids or a more involved life they don't care to be in constant contact with friends in real time. I don't know. I do agree it is annoying when people text in front of you in the movies.

classic post from an idiot with nothing intelligent to say. you're done here.
You've already admitted flat out that you are an ass, that you know you're bothering people and you don't care. What's to add? If you sit in front of me you will be politely asked to stop being an ass, and if you don't then you will be removed from the theater. Hopefully you will then upload a rant somewhere that we will all laugh at.

You plainly don't have consideration for others, nor have you any credibility left. You fail in a basic way to be an acceptable human being. Period.

I'm with babypowder on this one. Can't understand how you can be distracted by a cell. Most likely you are bothered by the presence of the phone and because it bugs the shit out of you, your attention keeps returning to it.
Arer you not bothered by people talking around you at a movie? Having someone turn on a light in an otherwise dark room is annoying and distracting and removes us from the suspended reality where we lose ourselves in the film, replacing it with anger and dsgust that the asshole in front is such a jerk. That spoils the movie, especially if it keeps re-occurring..... so babypowder and ctv250 are jerks....hope you get smacked or ejected.

Never go to movies anymore. NEVER. People talking has evolved into people checking their phones AND talking.

So quiet and fantastic in my home theatre watching Louie episodes sans commercials and munching popcorn and urinating in my girlfriend's mouth.

Fuck theatres and the idiots who go there! Cheers.

What's even worse is that you're not even man enough to admit you're an asshole.
Delusional hypocrital moronic liar. you keep earning these titles.

i don't get kicked out of theatres because I don't cause a disturbance. you should not cause a disturbance by opening your bitch mouth when you are in a theatre. stop looking at mens laps and look at the screen.

The person who lost credibility was the idiot(you) who complained about others checking their cell in a movie when he/she does the exact same thing. classic bitch ass move.

Yeah because when you are annoying the people behind you it's their fault for asking you to stop. Idiot.

I decided to go to a movie last night at Colossus. Why do people need to constantly look at teir phone every 2 minutes to see whats going on. Whats going on is the god damn movie. I asked the people in front of me if they would stop and got the usual Woodbridge attitude. I go out to complain and guess what....the manager was texting when I went to the customer service counter. I guess it must have been a night where I was surrounded with a lot of very important people. Then today I go for lunch to a relative who has 3 teenage kids. I sit down and what do I see....a great meal with all 3 kids who have their place setting in order....knife, spoon, fork, and phone. WTF!
LOL. You must real FUN at parties.

You are becoming a shut in. Someone so scared of confrontation that he hides in his hole and hopes things get better.
A swift slap across the face usually gets their attention.

aside from that one chain of theatres no one get kicked out of a movie for using a silent cellphone you retard. that doesn't happen thats your new wet dream because you and all your fucktard buddies in this thread have no argument.
using a silent cellphone =/= annoying anyone - retards.

you're the moron that stated in this thread that you actually check their phone in the movie not me. I said I have no problem with it because I don't bitch about insignificant things like that. the cellphone is only distracting the owner of the phone. it doesn't stop people from enjoying the movie. you can't see cellphones directly infront of you unless you are looking over their shoulder. if you want to go several rows down to open your bitch mouth about some ones silent cellphone then no one is going to let you go back to your seat in your row because you are a loud asshat thats ruining a movie for an entire theatre.
