I knew it was gonna be the new Brad Pitt movie before I even clicked the link. I'd want silence during that movie too >_<.

People are freaks. Not even Brad is worth a shot in the arm... or an assault charge.

That'll learn ya to STFU. Fucking morons behind me when I went to go see Punisher, and 2 douche bags in front with their cell phones on.

Seriously though I hope that guy's OK. That'd be a real shitty way to die.

Re: Do NOT talk during the movie.....OR ELSE!

I don't believe in violence but damn it I'm tired or screaming kids, crying babies, babbling people, and idiots texting/talking on cell phones while I'm trying to watch a movie. I don't put up with it. I get up, go to the front, ask for the manager, tell him that I want my money back and why. I actually go to a theatre that is a 45 minute drive from my house over a theatre that is 5 minutes away. The closer one does NOT monitor R rated movies for young children and I'm sick and tired of it. After 8 refunds of my money, I took my business elsewhere. I also wrote letters to the Marcus Corporation and the owner of the local theatre. People need to be more proactive and not put up with this crap. Show them with your money (not a gun!) and they'll pay attention.

Re: Do NOT talk during the movie.....OR ELSE!

I try to avoid going to movie theaters if I can. Other than all the eye candy that are the girls hanging around, there's no point cuz I get pissed cuz when I'm watching a movie, SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP!

I didn't go there to listen to some asshat babble on and make noise, I'm there to watch the movie.

Re: Do NOT talk during the movie.....OR ELSE!

Oh oh I've got one for you! You know how when you go in to the room for your film there is a long walk down the side and then you are in the seated area. You can stand in that long corridor where you walk in and still see the screen but people can't see you cause you are behind that wall the seats are on. So people can still hear you...cause you are right there....in the same damn room right? So this guy must have had his phone on vibrate and he gets up during the movie and stands in this corridor so he can still see the flick and TALKS ON HIS CELL! So TGM to the rescue! I get up, go over to him, and say "Excuse me sir, could you take that call outside please you are disturbing everyone." To which he says to me "Lady, I am taking it away from everyone so I don't disturb them. I can't help it you have bat ears." You know, I think if I had been a man I would have punched him in the face right then. I just said "Ok, we'll see what the manager thinks about this area being 'outside'." So manager was called, guy was dragged out (along with his miffed g/f/wife/whatever), people cheered, and after an arguement with the manager the guy was asked to leave (they refunded his money which was bs imo). I thought this nugget was funny though. When I told the manager that he thought 'outside' was standing in that corridor, the manager said no that it would be considered THE LOBBY. The guy replied "But then I'll miss some of the movie!!" And that deserves:

WTF

Re: Do NOT talk during the movie.....OR ELSE!

This whole thing makes me sad. I'm planning on going to the movies later today(?) too! I know my info says NY but I'm home in the Philly area for the holidays...

As to TGM, the theaters around here actually check ID's, which annoyed the heck out of me because for the longest time I didn't have a state ID so the only way I could watch a new movie was illegally >.<

Nah, he just got shot in the arm. He helped them identify and arrest the shooter in the theater later XD

Yay Philly and anger issues! But we have cheesesteaks and soft pretzels, so it makes everything okay.

Re: Do NOT talk during the movie.....OR ELSE!

You know, I was just reading This Story, and was thinking that if someone just armed the Straw Goat ala Caddyshack this would all be solved. That was another situation where people don't expect to be shot, but probably still should be.

I'm actually all for this, the crazy weirdo is just doing what a lot of us have fantasized about for years. It's why I no longer go to theaters. I just wish the guy had been shot over a better movie. Brad Pitt movies are really dumb things to die over. At least get shot over a John Malkovic or Ben Stiller movie... pick someone who can act. I mean, most of us probably liked Jack Lemmon. If you got shot over a Jack Lemmon movie, at least your last thoughts could be: "Well, at least I died over a movie that's probably pretty good."

This is like getting shot at a Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves movie. These aren't people who can act, they just look really good. Keanu has basically played the same dumb surfer dude in everything he ever made. First he actually played a dumb surfer, then he was a dumb surfer on a bus with a bomb, somehow he ended up as a dumb surfer in a computer generated wasteland... apparently if you surf and would lose a battle of wits with your own hair gel, life is pretty freaky for you. Same deal with Tommy... watch Risky Business again, then any movie he made later. He's EXACTLY THE SAME CHARACTER.


This dude just shot someone over man candy... that's just sad. Funny, but sad.

When it comes to small children, checking ID's doesn't work. The parents buy tickets to see some G or PG movie and then go into the R theatre. If they don't have an usher take a walk through the R rated movie before it starts, they have no idea mom and dad are violating the rules (well unless you have people like me that don't put up with that crap lol). They know if they ask for 2 tickets to an R rated flick that someone at the front might say something about the kids, so G it is! I actually saw a woman hide a baby under her burka until after the movie started just to try and get away with it. You just wonder what the hell people are thinking sometimes.

Yeah. Why don't we all just do whatever we want, all the time?

I for one could not help myself but laughed.... but I did feel bad about laughing -.-


I get tiered of going to R or hell even PG-13 movies, and hear a baby cry or child talking through over half the movie -.- and dont even get me on cellphones.


I think they need to equip the theaters with that dampening liner, so no one will have a signal in the theater, ^.^
