Apparently, the small percentage of people who need their cell phone on at all times, and the people that might receive a call that their wife is in labor, their child is hurt, etc etc is less important than the people who would like to watch a movie in total silence.

I've been to quite a few movies in the last few months, and not once was my viewing experience ruined by a cell phone going off. However, if one went off and was an annoyance, i'd politely ask the person to turn it off. Grow a pair here, people.

How the heck did we SURVIVE before cell phones?

Talk about a small percentage...I love this framed hypothetical that ALL cellphone calls are 'important' matters of life and death.

What if their response is: "Im one of 'the small percentage of people who need their cell phone on at all times and besides I might receive a call that my wife is in labor, or my child is hurt, etc'? What do you do with your 'pair' then?

Ask him why he is still sitting in his seat when his wife is in labor.

Maybe that particular call wasnt from his wife...but the next one might be.

My entire point is its a minor annoyance, and thankfully here, people are considerate and don't talk on their phones in theaters.

**Saulbadguy** · 10-20-2004, 08:58 AM

If cell phones are jammed, there should be a playpen in front of all doors to theaters that say "Check your Babies here". Hell, any child under 3 should not be allowed, unless its a childrens movie that will captivate them for the entire viewing.

Oh..and if you have a cold and you are going to cough and sneeze, stay out.

Gaz · 10-20-2004, 09:00 AM

I heartily endorse Saulbadguy’s playpen plan.

Install those while you are installing the jammers, please.

Next, we can figure out how to make people whisper in the theater.

Your sarcasm aside, I agree with that. If you have a cold, WTF are you doing in a theater filled with people who can catch it? And people shouldn't take children under 3 to the movies anyway, unless it's " Babar's Great Adventure" or something.

While we're on the subject, and I agree with you there...but, a few months ago, and this includes the gal with the illuminating flip phone she just HAD to check every few minutes.

The guy to my left in that very same theater had a cold. The kid behind me couldn't keep from kicking the back of my chair...so, needless to say- I was in the middle of three of the most ignorant people.

I asked the kid behind me to stop kicking and motioned to the gal to stop looking at her damn cell phone- only to find out a few minutes later the cycle started all over again: the kid kicked, the guy sneezed, and the gal opened up her cell phone.

So, I had it right then and there. I got up and pretended to lose my balance thus pouring ice cold soda all over the kid's leg behind me, and then pretended to lose my balance again and kicked the gal next to me in the shin on my way to an empty seat in the rear where I watched the rest of the movie in silence.

People are simply rude and ignorant....We need jammers.

I guess thats reality. People bring their annoying children to movies they shouldn't be watching. I see this as a much greater annoyance than a cell phone.

Not all children are annoying. Just because you were doesn't mean they all are.

Hey wait a minute! I know this guy! His first name IS Hunt, but his first name is really Mike.
