Re: Cellphone Whackjobs
Before it started, the people behind me noticed the LCARSish watch I had on. That led to a very nice guy next to me looking at it, and we were comparing my iPhone jailbrake LCARS scheme, with the one on his Android phone. After that I turned the phone to silent, so as not to be "that guy".
I did see a couple of lit up phone screens TXTing, but no rings or idiots talking LOUDLY about nothing.
I loved the crowd at both IMAX showings. It gave me hope for humanity.

Re: Cellphone Whackjobs
The guy next to me kept flipping his phone open every few minutes to check for calls or the time or God knows what. I wanted to grab it and smack him in the face with it.
Seriously. Cell phones off. If there's something going on so important you can't wait until after the movie to answer, you shouldn't be there.

Re: Cellphone Whackjobs
I've seen the movie twice now, one cell phone incident per viewing. The first time a womans phone rang and she answered it and said she couldn't really talk right now, I felt like smacking her. The second time I just heard ringing, I don't think they answered.

Somebody used their phone to record the ending when I saw it the second time.

Re: Cellphone Whackjobs
Or people talking at all. Every time I go to the theatre lately there's some douche (or five, huddled together) that won't shut the f up during the movies. This is where the guns come in. And second for jamming devices. Or a little ray gun that disconnects cellphones and wifi...

Re: Cellphone Whackjobs
There was a texter next to me in my fourth screening. She kept it in her purse but the glow and "click click click" was distracting...
Indeed, T'Paul. You are the problem.

Re: Cellphone Whackjobs
At the theater chain I go to, talking on the phone or just being loud gets you one warning. The next time, you do it, they eject you without a refund.
They even put it on the screen twice before the movie starts.
And they're serious about it. You're getting tossed for that stuff.

Re: Cellphone Whackjobs
The brand-new theater in my town in Indiana has a policy like that. They seriously do not dig cell phone use during the movie.
There was a minimal amount of it at the theater we went to in NYC. Somebody a few rows up kept taking their phone out and doing something with it.
Like KiraDax said, if there are people outside the theater who simply can't do without being in touch with you for 2 hours, maybe you shouldn't be going to the movies.

Re: Cellphone Whackjobs
No phones. But for movies I really want to enjoy fully, there are a couple of theaters that have "adult screenings" in what they call Director's Lounges. 21 and older only, larger seats, more aisle room and ushers at the ready to make sure that kind of nonsense doesn't happen.
