Posts: 23636 (11/21/2009 9:05 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I went to see Blind Side yesterday on its opening day so theatre was crowded. This woman came in with her 3 other friends and went down to the middle of the row where people were seated 2 and empty seat and 2 and empty seat. There were other seats in the theatre but I found it rude of her to go into the middle of the row where people had stacked out their favorite seats and ask them to move down so she can sit with her 3 friends together. I don't know if that bothers anyone else. I think if you come late to a movie , you have to face consequences and sit apart from your friends. Anyway, the girls reluctantly moved down. They were very passive about it.

I used to LOVE going to the movies but every damn time I go people do not turn there damn phones off and they constantly talk throughout the movie. So I usually don't go much and if I do I wait till the movie has been out for a weeks before I go see it, then its not as crowded or bad in the theater.

I think this one goes both ways. I can see this reasoning but I don't like to sit next to other parties because I like to give that person their privacy. I thought it was a general understood rule that you don't sit next to another stranger in theatre unless you can avoid it. Kind of like the "rule" for guys when they use urinals.

I used to LOVE going to the movies but every damn time I go people do not turn there damn phones off and they constantly talk throughout the movie. Today while in New Moon, it was one of the scenes at the end which is fairly climactic...a chick a few rows in front of us decided to choose that moment to open her phone to read a text message. People don't seem to get that whether or not you're actually TALKING on the phone, it's still just as rude to open it so the light comes on and illuminates the entire theater. Thankfully her boyfriend smacked her hand and she put it down before I was forced to start yelling. If you can't sit in a movie for 2 hours without looking at your phone? Don't go to a movie. Or if you know you can't handle that, turn the damn thing OFF so you don't feel it vibrate. Edited By: SusieMC 11/21/2009 9:29 PM. Edited 1 times.

On an opening night in a full theater...that doesn't apply. They'll sell every seat they can.

I'm not moving because some asshat decides to waltz in after the movie starts, it's not my responsibility. You sit yourself wherever there's an empty seat.

That's why if there is a movie I want to see I wait a few days or a week when its been in the theater, and try to go to a matinee or a night viewing , usually not many people are in it. Wait a week to go see a movie, you won't have to deal with a lot of assholes lol
