Yeah I can't believe it's come to this. I'm not that far removed from being 22 and still like to think I have the self control to turn off my phone for a couple hours.
Been a few years now but the girl in front of me at one movie texted through the entire show. I nearly grabbed her phone out of her hands and said "you can have this back at the end of class."

Re: movies
that really is absurd. i hate it during a movie so much; *one* of the reasons i dont go as much anymore. when i went to see batman vs supes, the guy to my right had his phone in the drink coaster in between us. well the god damn message indicator light (blue) went off about half way thru and this guy is so dense he doesn't notice it but its in my peripheral view so i could see it blinking, blinking, blinking. i ended up having to adjust my coat to build a wall to block it. then i realized i still had 4 more hours in that damn movie.

Re: movies
I could totally see separate auditoriums for people who want to be able to text during the movie. I would be fine with that. Just keep them out of the one I want to be in.MrCrowesGarden wrote:Yeah I can't believe it's come to this.

Re: movies
What about people who bring bottles of wine into the movie, sit in the back, then drop the bottle and it rolls and rolls and rolls until it comes to a stop? Which theater should they watch in?

If someone wants to spend a not insignificant amount of money for the privilege of using their phone in a dark room, then I'm not sure appeals of any sort will get through.MrCrowesGarden wrote:Been a few years now but the girl in front of me at one movie texted through the entire show.

My wife has told me we are watching Anomalisa tonight. I looked it up on Rotten Tomatoes:
Question: I don't know what introspective cinema means, and I don't like to think when I watch movies, so will I not be in for a treat?Anomalisa marks another brilliant and utterly distinctive highlight in Charlie Kaufman's filmography, and a thought-provoking treat for fans of introspective cinema.
