When will the madness end....or am I the problem

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
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. 
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.

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.Babypowder said:
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.
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.

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.

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.
