Theatres need to crack down on annoying behaviour!

Seriously I would even consider paying a dollar more per ticket if they hired someone to patrol the isles and kick out people doing annoying shit. It's a theatre people we are here to see the movie not constantly talk and text message our friends!

Just got back from my 2nd viewing of Inglorious Basterds. Fantastic movie by the way. Luckily my first viewing was uneventful. This time though the kids sitting in the rows in front of me had their cell phones on and were constantly texting other people and handing their phones back and forth. I would have confronted them accept I knew if I did that I wold have ruined the film even more.

Theatres need to have someone patrolling screenings and using a zero tolerance policy to things like this. If we see a cell phone screen on you get kicked out no refund!!

The ironic thing is they DID have someone there before the movie started and they IDed these kids to make sure they were old enough. Thing is one look at them and you could tell they were not old enough to be in an R rated film. Must have had fake IDs. They should have stayed to keep and eye on them!!

note to mods: This is not my poll.

Seriously guys is it possible for a mod confirm whether or not I added this poll or not? Cause I'm starting to second guess myself and if feels like I'm going crazy
 
WTF?!?!

Am I hallucinating or is FuseTalk fucking up even more!?! Does anyone else see a poll here? Cause I didn't add a poll to this thread.
 
Go when kids are in school in the morning shows if you wanna enjoy a movie, unless you're one of those weird people who don't like to be alone when doing anything. And I don't know how your theaters work, but around here you can go into any screen you want after you entered the theater. So I can buy a ticket for Harry Potter and go watch Final Destination instead. For morning shows anyway. They check ticket for new movies during the evening/night shows.
 
It's whyI rarely go to movies in a theater anymore. Always have someone around you who seems to feel they need to narrate what and why things are happening in the movie to the person next to them.

There was no adult there.

Anyone over 18 counts as the valid adult since you only need to be 18 to purchase the tickets last time I checked.

I have never seen id checkers in R movies but can see that for...other types. 😉

15 yr old: "You wanna text on my cell phone?"
Locut0s: "You don't want me to text on your cell phone."
15 yr old: "Uh, I don't you to text on my cell phone."
Locut0s: "You want to go home and rethink your life."

Also, to be a little more confusing, Locut0s is in Canada and the ratings are different here

USA / Canada

G / G
PG / PG
PG-13 / 14A
R / 18A
NC-17 / R

So our R is more badass than your R. No one under 18 is allowed in to them, even if a parent is present. IG is 18A here though so it doesn't apply, but still.

At the theater I used to work at, a parent or guardian (not just an adult friend) had to accompany the kids in to the movie, not just buy the tickets for them. On opening weekends for popular R-rated movies, we definitely did card before tearing tickets and sometimes again at the entrance to the actual theater if someone looked too young.

I agree completely. I have thought there needs to be a theater gestapo.

You pay to watch the movie not have a group of people completely ruin it.

When we went to "Milk" there were some kids doing that shit, luckily a man on man kiss happened early in the movie and they all giggled, screamed and thankfully left.

I hate going to new movies. This is why I wait for the hype / initial rush to die down before going to see a movie in the theater.
 
Were they talking and making noise? If so that sucks. If they were just passing phones around and texting then keep your eyes on the screen and ignore it.
 
Fantastic movie? God this movie was complete crap. What was fantastic about it? The overly drawn out boring scenes or the constant subtitles? If I wanted to watch a boring subtitled foreign film I would have went to one of the hippie theatres downtown.
