How would you deal with idiots who chat on their cell-phones in the movie theater?

[Remus Lupin]

Just this evening, I went to see "A Haunting" at my local movie theater and while I enjoyed the movie, I had to deal with the idiots who sat near us.
They were sitting right infront of us and not only were they just having a nice chat fest, one girl was even playing around with her cellphone carrying on.
I wonder how many people would have the urge to just grab their phone out of their hand and just stomp on it.
I was just tempted to dump my whole large bucket of popcorn on them. Hey if you want to ruin my enjoyment, allow me to respond in kind.
The three idiots thankfully were escorted out by the manager (they later return but didn't carry on as much)
How many of you all had this experience?

I spent 10 bucks to enjoy a movie, NOT TO LISTEN TO THE ASS HATS AND AIRHEADS CHAT ON THEIR ****ING PHONES.

You're just intolerant. They had important business to attend to and it couldn't wait.

[Remus Lupin]

Yeah!
Like, chatting with their boyfriends. Telling them how great the movie is and how it is really amusing having every one of us annoyed by them.

[RTchoke]

I would have started throwing popcorn at them.

But I'm bitchy that way. :))

[EnchantedFrog]

Always carry a ball peen hammer for when these situations arise.

Apply first to the cell phone.

If problem persists, apply directly to the problem area.

I spent 10 bucks to enjoy a movie, NOT TO LISTEN TO THE ASS HATS AND AIRHEADS CHAT ON THEIR ****ING PHONES.We've pretty much stopped going to the movies because of nonsense like this, not just cellphones, but crap in general. Even stupid things ... when we used to live in the States, any time we'd go to a European movie with funny scenes, we found American would usually laugh at the 'wrong' bits. Perhaps the same is true the other way around ...
One problem in the UK is that the cinemas have not yet figured out how to sell the popcorn and sweets fast enough, so you pay a fortune for your tickets, then have to queue up for 15 mins for junk food, which ****es off both me and my kids.

In any case, I find cinemas these days a perfect advertisement for torrent sites.

[nortman]

Well, the people who work in the theater are supposed to take care of the issue. If they refuse to do so, demand your money back.

I only go maybe once a year. If I do it is a movie I am crazy to see and then only about two weeks after the opening and on a first show matinee early in the morning.

Usually something happens that makes me so angry I do not enjoy the movie.

[Gray]

If they had earphone jacks on the seats I would go more often and bring some noise reduction headphones.

[waynevan]

It happened to me once. In a voice loud enough for everyone to hear I said,

HEY, SHUT THE **** UP!!

Worked like a charm!

[janer]

I went to a movie once - appropriately titled "From Hell" - and sat near a fellow whose companion did not speak English. So he translated the movie line by line as it played out.
While you may put yourself at risk these days by addressing the matter, I will immediately turn and say, "I think you need to bring your conversation to a close and turn off the phone." If that doesn't work, I go to the management.
A family member has told me that where he generally goes to the movies, the people talk back to the screen. I'm not sure what the protocol is for discouraging people from active participation - and, in some cases, considering the quality of the movie (or lack thereof), it may actually enhance the experience.

That was my first thought! :))

My solution is I don't go to theaters.

People are annoying.

[super cool ski instructor]

Never one to shy away from telling people just what I think...I would have stood up faced the person and said in a slightly louder voice than my regular speaking voice "Do you mind...the rest of us are trying to watch a movie!"

More than likely you would be the hero of anybody who is sitting in the vicinity of the dumbass talking on the phone.

[angelicmadrigal]

I don't go to movie theatres.

They are:
1) over priced
2) the volume is up too damn high
3) there are people there

I generally enjoy my movie veiwing exerience more in the privacy of my own home, on my little TV, where I can trun the volume down, and all that.

But if you insist on goign tot he movie theatre the ONLY recourse you have is to get an usher, or go speak withteh manager afterwards and attempt to get your money back. If you cause a confrtonation with a person that interuppts the movie further YOU might be ejected from the theater yourself.

Not that I would be talking on the phone in a theater, but usually if a random person says anyhting to me, they get flipped off and I continue doing what I"m doing. So there's always a chance the person will just keep doing what they're doing.

LOL...not exactly sure how telling someone to turn off their phone would get me ejected from the theatre.

But...that would be the risk I would be willing to take to let someone know they are being rude and disrupting people who pay alot of money to go see a movie.

[angelicmadrigal]

I luck out in that respect. Most people don't approach or bother me IRL. Honestly, if someone I dont' know has the nerve to come up to me and talk to me, and they don't know me there is a good chance the situation WILL get violent if they start running their mouth. That's gnerally the vibe I give most people. I'm not a tremendously approachable person.

Except at work, which is odd.

[angelicmadrigal]

Because situations like that can escalate and become "a scene"

A waste of money in my opinion, but whatever.

Damn...you must bite your tongue alot for fear of causing "a scene".

I will not. If someone is disturbing a theater full of people I will let them know. If they continue to cause "a scene" then I walk out and get managment. Simple as that.

I have actually done this before...not talking out of may ass. More than likely the person is embarressed, turns off their phone, and everyone enjoys the movie.

[Lady Liberty]

Don't most movies post a 'no cell phone' screen when they're getting things going before the movie? Some people are so self-absorbed.

Getting up and going to the manager and asking for a refund is effective. I don't choose to be the 'in your face' with these folks, I figure it's the responsibility of the management to afford me a pleasant movie-viewing experience. If they don't, I'm happy to go home and enjoy the rest of my evening - with the money I almost left their business still in my pocket.

Those are definitely illegal in the USA, as it's an $11,000 fine if you get caught using one.

A more legal solution would be a cell phone detector in the theater which is quite legal and could alert management to cell phone use without having to be informed by an annoyed paying customer.

Completely the opposite, I cause them a lot. So I should know.

That's your bussiness, I'm just telling you I know from personal experience that some managers if you are even involved in "teh scene" in question, they'll boot you out too.

[Lima India Bravo]

I was at a movie the other evening, and there was a person in front of me "texting" for about the first five minutes of the movie. She was not talking, but the bright light from the screen was annoying. I leaned forward and very quietly said, "your texting is annoying, the light from your phone is distracting. If you will stop doing that, I won't stand up, turn around and break wind (not the term I used) next to your head." She glared at me, but she put her phone in her purse.

The above would be my approach also. I don't go to the movies to police the behavior of others. My ticket price is suppose to assure me a movie viewing in peace.

[Samm]

Mace works, too.

Nah... mace produces too much collateral damage - tasers.

[consusa]

Where I live, most people wouldn't be that rude. If they were, the management would make them turn it off or ask them to leave. If they refused, the cops would escort them out. But... for the price you pay these days, I'm not interested in much that's put out. Bang 'n boom and computer enhancement. Booooring!

[Dreamy]

I think rude behavior begets rude behavior. Behaving as rudely as the rude person seems kind of childish. I figure if I am polite or handle as many matters as possible in a polite manner perhaps I one person might change.

All bets are off if my mood is hormonally challenged.:twisted:

Then you would have to keep changing seats til you found someone with a cell phone so you wouldn't expose too many innocent by-sitters.

[CountryGirl]

A few years ago I was in a movie where a kid had a WALKIE TALKIE and was talking to his mother who was in the same theater but watching a different movie.

After several "Mean Eyes" glares in his direction along with a rather loud "Stop It!" and he finally got a clue and put it away. Had that not worked, I would have headed to management.

[gdoane]

Tasers do a lot of things but peace and quiet ain't among them. There's usually a bit of screaming involved after all.

Ninjas would be a much better solution. After all, there's a Ninja unemployment problem and since Ninja's like to work in dark, quiet places this would be right up their alley.

I haven't been to a movie theater in over 15 years. At least not to watch a movie. I have dropped off and picked up my grandkids at such, but I wait until the movie comes out on DVD and then enjoy it on my 72" home theater system. Much better sound (11 speakers) and no rude cell phone callers allowed. :D

I have a projector and movie screen six feet wide at home myself but there's a lack of audience energy which I miss when I watch movies alone. It might be better technically but it'll never be the same as sharing an experience with other people even if they're strangers.

About a month ago I had a similar experience.

The wife and I were watching a movie when in the seats
just behind us, we heard a cell phone ring. A women answered
and startedto talk softely, gigled, then got louder.

We waited several minutes...
I looked at my wife, stood up, turned around, told the women
in no uncertain terms to hang up NOW, or the manager would escort her out.

She looked at me, laughfted and snicked and said "...no way.." then
proceeded to keep talking and ignore my inquiry, which I
repeated several times..

So, I went to the lobby, informed the manager. He came in
and I pointed out the women still talking as she was escorted
out.

The movie ended about 20 minutes later. As we walked out into
the lobby the women and her friend were still there. She gave us
a dirty look and shouted a racial slur towards us.

Some people have the gall to interfere with my dime, ignore the
thearter rules on quieting cell phones, then insult me and my wife.

...and guess what?
She was still talking on that dang phone...

I have a large extended family, it is no problem to round up 10-15 people to watch the movie with. I have seating for up to 20 people. Very comfortable recliner rockers. :D

[gadgetere]

Once, a second sound-track was added to a movie I was watching; went like:

Waaaaa! Waaaa! WaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa!

Parents were oblivious to it (obviously had learned to tune it out).

After a full minute, I turned around and said, "You COULD take him OUT!"

They did. (Everyone clapped quietly.)

The advice here about contacting management is appropriate; conversely, you might try one of the cell phone jammers on ebay --- not legal in most venues, but they hafta catch you with it. (Mine only has a range of a couple feet; sounds perfect for theaters...)

BTW, some hotels and other businesses have jammers (hotels so you hafta use THEIR long distance).

If you stomp on their phone, you're liable for damages; better to contact the theater staff --- if they don't do anything, ask for your money back.


Ask for your money back too, if the movie sucks. I did at "Home for the Holidays", and "Boys on the Side" --- worthless movies. They will give you your money back, and it does make a difference....

Say something.

Look, I promise you, nobody wants to be the one to do it, but I swear that everyone around you was thinking the same thing. Tell them to take it outside, people are trying to watch the movie. If they get rude, go to the manager and have them thrown out.

Stop taking it on the chin. The reason people get away with that crap is because nobody stands up to it.

[Poisonshady313]

I'd confront them first. If that doesn't work, I'd get a manager to have them thrown out. If this causes me to miss a significant portion of my film, I'd demand a free re-admit pass.

Anybody else ever hear of the paint with some sort of....technology...to block cell phone waves? I remember our local theatre was considering that, but declined after a bunch of doctors said they need to be notified in case of emergency.

http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2006/04/nano_paint_bloc.html

I've used screen rooms in the past to block radio waves while working on police radios to send emergency alerts that wouldn't actually reach the 911 dispatch centers and freak them out. The rules of that game are the grid needs to be bonded (molecularly welded) and attached to a very good single point ground.

This is very easy to do from the ground up, like what we did in building a radio servicing shop but once the concrete is down and the eufer ground for the building is all you've got, that's really not enough to do the job.

You see, the problem is you cannot have a path to ground that is more than 10 wavelengths long or it isn't a ground anymore. It may as well be an open circuit at that point and at cell phone frequencies a wavelength in the 800 MHz band is about 15 inches, so you've got to have a ground within 150 inches of your grid or it flat out will not work. That's 12.5 feet.

A eufer ground, a common building ground is rated at 20 feet of exothermically welded rebar in concrete. That's more than ten wavelengths at even the longest cell phone frequencies and is therefore useless for shielding such frequencies. It simply will not work.

I call B.S. on this paint. No way. Radio signals (photons) do not disappear, they have to go somewhere and if they're presented with a trip longer than 10 wavelengths to offer their energy to ground they'll say "no thanks" and keep on truckin'.

I've been a radio tech for 28 years. I know how this stuff works like I've done it all my life. I'm not really good at translating it to layman terms because it's an abstract concept from the beginning. Sorry if I lost you at the 5th word.

http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/158288/block_wifi_intruders_with_a_secure_paint_job.html

That's different, that's talking about resonance which is very, very frequency specific and it's talking about wi-fi blocking which is in a single band. Most cell phones are dual band or tri band and resonance schemes will not work on those.




And something about magnetic wood blocks?

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn2461-magnetic-wood-blocks-mobile-phone-signals.html
[/quote]

Whoever wrote that article almost knew what he was talking about. There are two components to a radio wave, the E (voltage) and the H (magnetic) field and vertical or horizontal polarization makes a serious difference. A vertically polarized blocker will make almost no barrier to a horizontally polarized signal.

How do you polarize paint or blocks? It's true that cell phones are vertically polarized, but how do you get paint to do that?

Popcorn won't get you anywhere. Buy the gallon of Coke next time and spill what you don't drink strategically. A person can pick popcorn out of their hair but it is hard to sit through a movie soaked in a sticky liquid.

[PATRIOT1871]

My local Moive house blocks out the signals in the theater where the movie is showing, you can make a call only when you go back into the lobby however that dosen't stop people using thier devices for other things like playing games as such. What just then is just say in my very load voice: "To you mind turning off your phone, cause I didn't pay 13 bucks to watch you play your dam games it." That generally works.

[Samm]

I was ready to dump my whole bucket of popcorn on their heads. Maybe it would serve as a reminder.

Chance are that bucket of popcorn cost you more than the movie... A cup of water with the remnants of your soft drink would be more effective anyway. And if you poured it over their phone it might take care of the problem once and for all.
