All I can say is, it's about time....


From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (8/31/04):
A woman who answered her cell phone in a St. Louis County movie theater on Saturday said police forcibly removed her, cuffed her hands behind her back for hours and held her in jail overnight.

Her 14-year-old sister, in the theater with her, was thrown to the ground with her face pressed to the floor and then handcuffed for hours after demanding an explanation, her family claims.

Damn cops! How dare they do what the manager hired them to do?! And how dare they warn everyone in advance to not talk on cell phones during the movie?! And how dare they control someone who is resisting?! Crooked I tell ya, all of them!

I bet it was a hilarious scene though, this lady and her sister screaming and yelling about how this is an outrage and her rights are being violated, etc :D

Arrested? I'd say that she's lucky she didn't get killed. I'd have throttled her if she'd been sitting anywhere near me.

We went to see Return of the King after it came out, and my buddy ended up with a man/woman next to him who brought in a *TWO* year old. The kid was pretty well behaved, but there were, ummmm.... outbursts occasionally.

My buddy finally turned to the kid and gave him a really loud exaggerated "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" to which the father said "You don't have kids, do you?" - My buddy turned to him, looked him right in the eye, and said "You better shut up too" :thumb:

I hate movie theatres...... :mumble:

My living room is better than any movie theatre... the sound is better, the screen is almost as big, I can drink beer, I can pause the movie to answer the phone or go to the bathroom, I can git the job done with a date, etc...

Why the hell do I ever go to a movie theatre? :D

did you read the whole article? if in fact she had the phone on vibrate, and she just whispered 'i can't talk right now' and hung up....then she is better behaved than 99% of the cellidiots out there who just blab away at loud levels in funerals, movies, wherever.

'course, mebbe she's just lyin. ;)

I have a feeling the truth is somewhere in between the two story versions.

Either way, I bet that spectacle was more entertaining than that dumb ass movie :p

Yep.

The two stories are wildly disparate. 99% of the time, it's not the cop who's going to be lying (though I'm sure the truth was stretched) because the cop knows that there are dozens of witnesses and he'll lose his job.

Can't.... stop....laughing...

Seriously, they should install some sort of signal jamming device in the movie theaters so nobody could dial/recieve calls. Eh, I don't go to the movie theaters since they are a rip off here in CA (its like $10 a show or something like that). Instead, I stick with my cheapo tv set with crappy sound, but hey, I can pause the movie whenever I feel the urge to do something else... i.e., grab a snack, talk my brains out on the phone, or whatever without having to deal with being stuck in a movie theater. :thumb:

Seriously, why even answer the phone and say I can't talk right now.
What sense does that make?

Never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.

but then they might be liable if a doctor who was on-call didn't receive a page or a call. (of course, many doctors choose not to go out when on call, but it certainly happens.

Haha, 10 bucks says her voice mail greeting is "I can't take your call right now" :D

They should subpoena her voice mail greeting right now before she changes it :D

I thought they had a system like this in Japan.

Personally I like cell free restaurants where the wait staff embarrasses the person so much it forces them to walk outside just so they can hear.

Hell yeah! I love movies about ginormous reptiles...lake placid...the first ananconda...I love that kinda crap...no more lame or less realistic than hobbits, etc. :sneaky:

True, true. I'll all about ginormous monsters, whatever species they may be, but when a movie is described as "retched" and compared to "something digested and expelled by a snake with an intestinal disorder", I tend to stay away.

But if you do go, definitely make sure to keep your cell phone on :thumb:

Oh no way will I take some uptight-staunchy-can't-let-loose-and-see-a-stupid-movie-crititcs opinion and NOT see something like Anaconda...I thought the review was hysterical, but of course that guy probably loves On Golden Pond, too...

Another crappy movie I'm patiently awaiting...The Seed of Chucky...:thumb:

I heard about it a while back.
My friends always keep me up to date on movies they'd consider crap. They just don't appreciate the humor and one liners. Chucky is a classic. Not as good as the Evil Dead films though. But hey, I kids doll possessed by a evil soul of a serial killer through a voodoo ritual! SWEEET!

I usually don't find dolls sexy but they did Jennifer Tilly some justice in the Bride of Chucky.
(just reread this last comment :think: ok i feel like a freak :p )

The first Chucky is great...when the mom first figures out he really talks...and she threatens to throw him in the fire...and he gets all crazy looking and he's all don't you f*ck with me you bitch...you slut! HAHAHa...and then how he screams when he's running at whoever he's gonna attack. Hysterical!

I often go to the movies with my wife/friends who are doctors. They might not be on call but they need to respond to questions on orders or be available for cross-cover (fill in for another doctor). It’s not uncommon for one or more of a group to get paged during a movie and they run to the lobby to make their calls.

They all have the courtesy to set their pagers/phones to vibrate at least.

yeah, its funny when he's trying to play with the kid too.
The 2nd movie kinda blew @ss, like it was trying to be more scary than funny. And of course the Bride of Chucky is my fav so far.
Stoopid b movies are so much better than the typical Hollywood crap. I think I was the only one in the theatre to laugh out loud during Hannibal.
