I wanted to scream at some of the other moviegoers. The man and kid to my right got up at least 5 times EACH, crossing between the screen and me going and coming. The gal who came with them was up and across 3-4 times independently of her buddies. There were at least 2 babies and 1 toddler crying every ten-fifteen minutes. The idiot next to MY friend had her cell phone lit up, and gave my pal a snotty response when she asked her to turn it off, PLEASE.
I blew up and wasted a lot of time getting "security" to come to the theater to tell that bimbo to get out. "Oh, no, I can't eject her. I just give her a warning".
WHAT??? We got warned and asked REPEATEDLY on the screen before the movie started. That should be warning and request enough. I turned my whole phone off BEFORE I even walked into the theater.
Do any of YOU keep your phone on when you are at the theater, out to dinner, at church, wedding/funeral, or social function? What's your cutoff point, if you have one?
(My friend complained to management about the phone and the crying....why do people bring infants to the theater in the first place...and was given two ticket vouchers. We'll go again, and hope for the best next time)
I enjoy going to a movie once in while. Usually the weekday afternoons provide an almost empty theatre, which is how I like it. My big screen TV isn't big... My new refrigerator is, though!

It's happened to me (cell phone ringing) in the movie theatre and even at a stage play. Unbelievable! In both cases, there was an announcement about phones, right at the beginning.
(I don't even own a cell phone. Who needs me? lol)

Nobody knows my cell phone number (including me) so it never rings. I remember “crying rooms” from my early days as well as intermissions………...

I have been in theaters where the parents actually let their kids run up and down the aisles DURING the movie, laughing and screaming. Maybe Robert G is right....

I'm sorry that happened to you. I've been looking forward to going to the movies but now I'm not so sure. I guess it would be ok but there's: the crowd, the expense of the ticket, no pause, the timing, the expense of the treats, can't turn it off if you don't like it. We were going to go on Christmas day but there were no good shows playing. We could have gone to an area where it was, uh, unsafe. We decided against it.
