Harrington Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I don't know if I'm over-reacting, but does anyone else become infuriated by morons who insist on using their mobile phones at the cinema whilst the bloody movie is on! Regardless of talking on the damn thing or texting, it's a common offence that's driving me mental when trying to enjoy a movie. The only reason I posted today was because I was very nearly in a fight earlier in the week when an annoying chav directly in front of me kept texting someone. It was very distracting and despite politely asking him to turn it off, he kept doing it anyway (with the predicable consequence of me physically confescating his phone for a while). Anyway, I'm just wondering if I'm alone in my hatred of these selfish morons, or if I'm over reacting when giving the offender a piece of my mind?

limpbizkit Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Nope your not. I know the felling. Reason I prefer at home but then I need the loo and just forget about the film. Tif 360 MGC Leaderboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Please turn off your bazookas. :D But yea, people who text suck. And people who actually call others during the movie suck even more. That actually happened not once, but twice during the last film i saw. Very sad. Command the Murderous Chalices!

Craiglowery Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I hate the phone thing and people who talk and joke around in the theatre. If people get too loud or distracting, I just ask a staff member to ask the person to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Very, very annoying. If it's urgent they could just excuse themselves for a couple of minutes, but I hate people who just casually flick through they're powerfully backlit phone in a dark cinema while you're trying to watch a film.

StrOwez Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I agree with you on the cinema but the worst are these idiots on buses/trains playing [cabbage] music on their phones so the whole bus has no choice but to hear the garbage... maybe its just a problem up here :( A friend to all is a friend to none.

It wouldn't even be that bad if they put on decent music but it's always some really low-grade rave music or really low-grade rap.

Zonorhc Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I agree with you on the cinema but the worst are these idiots on buses/trains playing [cabbage] music on their phones so the whole bus has no choice but to hear the garbage... maybe its just a problem up here :( We get that here, too. It's always some gangsta-wannabe blasting out rap or hip hop, oblivious to the fact that fake gunshots and shotgun pumping sounds don't actually make people think you're hardcore. And as for cinemas... Anyone who lets their backlight be seen in my presence, or even have the audacity to talk on the phone or not turn their damn mobile on silent is asking to be urinated upon.

Probably even worse than that is when they actually do have headphones, but the volume is so high you can hear it, no matter where you are in relation to them, so all you hear is unintelligible garble. :notalk: Command the Murderous Chalices!

Shadow MC Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 You definitely are not alone in this situation. I too am easily annoyed by this kind of behaviour when I go to see a film at the cinema. Although it's not a big thing, I like to go to watch a film in the comfort knowing that I can watch it peacefully and undisturbed and if someone feels the need to answer their phone or start texting someone they can do that outside of the theatre or just have their phone turned off altogether. i dont see the problem with texting... unless its making beeps or something. i mean if i pay 10 bucks for a movie, i rather watch it. but i dont see how someone texting distracts you This is basically the same as someone rustling their popcorn bag throughout a film. It doesn't stop you from watching but it is still very distracting none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJoe Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 You ain't alone! I don't know how many times i've been on the vurge to knock someone over (ok i haven't... but i've wanted to!). Oh yeah, as mentioned above with people listening on busses... Firstly the sound from the speakers on a cellphone sucks! Sounds like 32kb sound lol. Oh and when they have earplugs or headphones... Are every kid deaf? Does the headphones have such a bad isolation that i can here someone else 10m away from me inside a moving bus? Nah can't be, they all must be stone deaf! Bastards.

knives669 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 What I fail to understand is why would someone want to pay to see a movie when all they do the whole time is chat it up on their phone? :uhh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_ross0 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I hate quite a few things about the movies. [hide=Movie Rants of Mine]-The people who have the amazing timing to show up just as the movie is starting..and then take their precious time sitting down, therefore blocking parts of the screen. Geniuses. -The people who talk to others during the movie. -The people who say crap like 'DID YOU JUST SEE THAT?!?!?!'. Nope. I didn't see it. I'm in the middle of a Darkened theatre, focused solely on the screen, concentrated on the film...but I didnt see that. Genius. -The people who answer phone calls. Come on. Keep it on silent. I don't want to hear the plans for yor day, I'll never see you again. And finally... -The ones who have the amazing idea of playing RINGTONES during the movie. Seriously. I was sitting in the middle of a movie, when someone starts playing that [developmentally delayed]ed Soulja Boy thing. Everybody was mad, he was cackling, and I missed parts of the movie.

That gets the point across easily enough, and so does the "leave or turn your [bleep]ing phone off before i turn it off permanantly by throwing it into the wall" which is usually followed by applause from other people in the cinema :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that really chaps my [wagon] is the people who ahve the nerve to talk on the phone to there spouse or whoever about the 'frekin movie and tell them what is happening, I feel like gougeing their eyes out with nail clippers : ~Joe.

Led-Zeppelin Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Honestly, whats so annoying about it? Someone talking on their cellphone is an abvious one. But txting? Want a tissue or some Johnson and Johnson no more tears shampoo? I personally hardly ever txt in a movie, I may do if I am in a near empty theatre. But if I see someone else txting, it doesn't get under my skin. Do you have a rage if someone get up to use the loo, and opens the door to let a little light in? I don't mind txting at all, unless they have a phone from the 80's with big old [bleep] off click buttons. What I hate is people talking, cellphones or not.

ThruItAll Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 it's very annoying and on top of it : if you say something to them they're like "Omg be quite and watch the movie" People actually say Omg in real life? Just joshing ya. Also, I don't find it that bad.
