Thread: Shut your cell phone off at the movies....

We went to see Shark Tale (is this the name of it...still don't know). It was really pretty good. I do have to "vent" about this guy sitting one seat away from me. He must have gotten 6 cell phone calls and TALKED to the other party every time....he was so loud I could not hear the movie. I mean, after the first few times, get up and go outside and go to the lobby. The theatre was PACKED and I am sure no one appreciated him conducting business in the movies.

I hate when ppl do that, next time that happens, get up and let a worker know.. they will take care of it and I've heard that they usually offer you tix to see the movie again if you've missed it b/c of a dumb butt taking calls... of course I cannot confirm that. But it is annoying esp when you hear their conversation(s) over the movie! And yes, it's called Shark Tale. Glad you gave it a chance and enjoyed it even w/ bad reviews.

Totally agree. It's understandable that sometimes you might have an important call- babysitter, important business call, that's why cell phones have that silent feature! If you put it on silent or vibrate and stick it in the cup holder, you can see it light up when it rings. Then you can either answer it, whisper hold on, and run out, or run out and call the person back.

LOL, has anyone seen the cingular ads with "Inconsiderate Cell Phone Man" or whatever his name is, and he blabs on the phone at places like restaurants and meetings?

ITA... I usually leave my phone in the car. Or at least put it on vibrate, if I don't have the ringer completely off.

I wish ppl who use their phones would figure out that the rest of us don't give a hoot about their convos... I've resorted to having the manager paged every time I hear one ring. It used to annoy me but I'd ignore it... however, the last time we were at the movies someone was using their tmobile walkie talkie feature during the movie... I was pissed to say the least... we go to a theatre that is also a restaraunt and it costs a fortune to go there and I do NOT spend that kind of money to hear BOTH SIDES of a conversation... so now every time I hear a cell ring and a phone go to an ear I turn the little red flashy thing on and have the manager sent over. Yes, I am 27 and a tattle tale... but when those cell users start paying for my admission and dinner then I will stop complaining.

Ohhh I want a theatre that is a restaurant too!

I'm getting tired of going to the movies though, we always have to sit in the 2nd row b/c hubby is legally blind. It hurts my eyes and gives me a headache lately.

Sorry for complaining in your thread!

you should always go to the management to complain and you will get free tickets
