I despise going to a certain theater in Atlanta because it is FULL of morons that refuse to turn off their cellphones while the movie is going on. Not only that, but they ring... and are answered with the same dull "hullo" by every single time.

Sorry to sound "elitist" but I refuse to believe that these ridiculous losers have such important lives that a single phone call from an equally loserish moron friend of theirs cannot wait 90 minutes until the movie is over. Dammit!

On another note, I was in a restaurant the other day and some stupid lady was laughing and talking on her cell while her tablemate sat there and stared into space waiting for her to finish. This wasn't one of those "we're in a restaurant and I'll call you back" or "the directions are "this" to get here and we'll be waiting"... it was "ha ha ha... you're so bad! So, what are you doing? ha ha ha! You're so funny! What else is new?" kind of phone calls. What is WRONG with people and their cells? So, we can talk without a wire and suddenly all sense of manners and decency is out the window? How were these losers raised anyway?????

Last summer I went to an IMAX theater to see Spiderman 3 and a guy a few rows back carried on an entire conversation on his phone. Some people can be so inconsiderate. That's the main reason I rarely go the theater anymore. Why would I want to listen to a bunch of jerks making noise when I can wait a few months and watch a movie from the comfort of my own home? When I do go to the theater I always go to a matinee. Not only are they cheaper, but usually there's just a bunch of old people watching so you know they'll keep quiet.

You guys'll love this...someone answered a phone in a theatre i was at  and proceeded to have a loud obnoxious conversation about some girl named Buh-linda (that's how he spoke, really duhhhhh) and this guy got so pissed off he got up, walked to their aisle, grabbed the phone and hurled it to the back of the theatre.

People do suck.  Somebody needs to do a movie or a skit about a serial killer who targets people who feel the need to have cell phone conversations in theaters.  Part of the premise could be that the killer never gets caught because none of the witnesses have a problem with the murders.

I'm from a smaller town so we don't have as much cell phone conversations in our movie theaters, but it happens on occasion. But I think cell phones suck. I was a a bar and my friend's girlfriend kept texting him and calling him so I answered and told her that she was being a buzz kill and that he would call her first thing tomorrow morning. I am always the other person waiting for someone to get off the phone like that guy at that restaurant you were talking about czar. I just don't put up with it. Kudos to the guy who threw that persons phone to the back of the theater.

Well I got one for you all, I live in an apartment well it is a townhouse. My next door neighbor was a young woman who loved to talk on her cell phone at all hours. Well I had worked grave yard and had just got to sleep when I hear this noise that sounded like a dog dying. I tried to ignore it but it got worse, well it turns out she was having phone sex on the back deck. She was out on the deck in her bra and panties at 8 am moaning and groaning like an animal dying. I raised my window to tell her to be quite when I saw her doing the finger poke to herself, I didn't have the heart to stop her. I hate to mess up a good release so she got done and I told her to keep it down next time.

I know this wasn't a theater but I thought you all might think it was funny.

 OMG!! Not the FINGER POKE!! 

HA HA HA HA!!  Geeze, I'm immature...

 I lived next door to a chick who sounded like a Jack Russell terrier yelping when she..you know..."released" as you put it much more eloquently than I would, FreakyCreepieChic :) It used to annoy the sh*t outta me...I hate yappy dogs...even human ones...sorry I better shut up now before I offend someone! ;)

I've been there.  I was on a blind date, and my date alternated between checking her cell phone to to see if her mother or a girlfriend had called or left a message or talking to some guy she'd stayed up with until 2:00 a.m. the night before "watching movies" (she couldn't seem to recall which movies they'd been watching).  The weird part was that she actually seemed surprised that I wasn't interested in another date.

That was a quality experience, let me tell ya...

 You should have showed her your pictures you take she would have been speechless. I mean that in a good way. I love your pictures.

Hah!  It's a good idea, but I suspect they would have been completely wasted on her (she was more than just a little uncouth).  I don't know what the people who set us up were thinking (she and I had nothing at all in common)--I was so disgusted over the whole thing that I cut completely cut ties with them (and it was costly for me to do so).

Still, life is far too short and valuable to let the damn cell phone addicts and various other idiots help you waste it.

Cell phone technology (and all of its derivatives) is a wondrous and useful invention, but folks need to keep it in the proper perspective. 

Cell phone addicts are weird. I can't say I understand.  No matter where they are or who they're with they just want to be somewhere else and on their phone? I know a girl who can talk for hours to a guy on the phone, but when he comes to hang out they barely say anything and she starts texting. I just don't get it.

See, I have far greater issues with people who use headsets for their cellphones.  I'm sorry, but it just doesn't look right for you to be walking around talking to yourself sir.....oh.....you have a little piece of something or other in your ear.  right.  Gimme a break, you look freaking insane and schizophrenic.

And yes, I do realize the safety in cars issue, but that's in a car, that's not walking through a freaking mall.

Well there was that joke in Scary Movie....... lol

Isn't that ironic.. people talking on cell phones might as well be walking around talking to inviable ppl

 I don't remember it, but I did see it, and it's probably where I got the idea I mentioned.  Sadly, I don't have an original bone in my body.

Well I mean the only difference between "A" and "B" is that you can actually see what they're talking into in one of them.  lol.

Hey it is an original idea.  Doing the whole movie would probably be great.  The killer would probably have to be stopped though, otherwise people would see it as too dark and negative.

And here's a link to the joke:  On Youtube

I should overall mention it contains a bit of language I think and definitely has um....a rather different um...oh jeez...someone gets stabbed through the head with a certain piece of male anatomy.

If you haven't seen Shakespeare in Love, btw, she also kinda spoils the movie...but eh, who cares.  Cell phone joke starts a bit late in it....like around the 3 minute mark.

 If I haven't seen it by now, I'm probably not going to.  ;-)

I'm actually kind of peculiar (so people tell me) in that I have absolutely no problem hearing about the end or the key part of a book or movie (even if I'm actually interested in it).  That way I see it, death is all around us and can pretty much strike at any moment, so I like hear all the plot twists I possibly can...just in case.  I'll actually start a book on the last 50 to 100 pages, read to the end, and then go back and read the book all the way through from the beginning.

I am glad to know I am not the only one who does that. Great Minds think alike.

Not to be a dick or change the subject but I noticed you all are kind of prudish when it comes to language. I guess maybe I'm a heathen but for your viewing pleasure and personal discomfort every dirty word (and combination thereof) I can think of:

Cock, pussy, jack off, fuck, motherfucker, cock sucker, cunt, cunt lick, ass head, ass bag, asshole, clit, dick, snatch, shit, shit head, cock gobbler, bitch, ass, dumbass, fuck stick, rim job, blow job, tossed salad, shit stick, shit wind, shit rope, shit tornado, shit barometer, jizz, cum, cum guzzler, cum rag, dick squirt, pussy gush, damn, goddamn, goddamn motherfucker, fuckin shit, Paris Hilton, jimmy hat, clap, dick rocks, dickhead, pussy juice, nut, skeet

I mean come on, we're mostly all adults here.

I'm shocked.

P*ris H*lton? We are going to be shut down by Tipper Gore for sure...

uh  . . . I smoked a tick

I fucked a woman that was tied to a tombstone

when i was a kid i shit in an army helmet and gave it to my mother

yeah we're just all a bunch a prudes 'round here

i'm offended by such a harsh display of laguage -- boot em czar

n

prudish? never i'm more often described as crass

Might I suggest the T-shirt the late George Carlin sells on his website that has over 2000 filthy words and phrases on its front and back organized into categories?

I have it, and wear it proudly.

Fuckin' a!

The real fun comes when you have someone actually read every word out loud.  I did that once.  Had to stand in one place for about 10 minutes.  lol.

I still want to know what the fuck that means...is it a quote from a movie or something or do u actually smoke arachnids?

I've killed the nasty things in pretty much every way imagineable (including frying one under a magnifying glass when I was a kid), but I can't say that I've ever smoked any.  Ticks pretty much own the rural areas this time of year here in the border South.  This is seed tick time of year--they're basically baby ticks about the size of a pin head, and you can quite literally get covered in 10s of thousands (I've had to scrap them off with a credit card).  It's almost enough to want them to bring back DDT.

Ticks aren't quite as irritating as oblivions with cell phones, but they're in the same ballpark. 

I just recently heard a guy get into a screaming argument with his significant other over a cell phone at a laundramat.

it was just once--when I was a teenager, but my friends still give me shit about it.  I put it in a bong and one-hitted his little blood-filled ass.

Ehhh...there's worse things you could have put in there, you're still OK with me ;)

yeah at least I didn't eat one of Joe Rogan's camel testicles or some such shit.

I believe the term is "Rocky Mountain Oyster".  lol
