Texting in Movie Theater
Replies

I'd rather put up with someone using his/her cell phone inside the theater over someone using his/her gun inside the theater.
Just sayin'...0 -
You think I don't have one of these? (I have the LV-20 tho which has double the luminosity of even this) But yeah, no. Haven't gone to a theater in months. Film is dead anyway. TV is where its at these days between the Breaking Bads and the Games of Thrones.
I think you misspelled Vampire Diaries.
Oh my bad.
Vampire Diaries too.0 -
You're at the God-blessed movie theatre, turn the freaking phone OFF.
It's ridiculous that a person can't take a 2-3 hour break from texting or calling someone. You're not that special!
Agree whole heartedly. I hear people say they 'can't' turn off their phones. I just don't get it. I definitely think anyone should be capable of disconnecting for 2 hours.0 -

Agreed. If you're in a situation where you "can't" turn off your phone, maybe a movie isnt the best idea. if there really IS a huge emergency, excuse yourself from the theater to do your texting and talking during the movie.0 -
Honestly, I don't really feel bad for the guy. He was asked to stop, refused. Let's not forget the retired cop was 70 years old and the victim half his age and probably twice his size. Old man went outside to tell staff. Upon coming back in, the man with the phone made a comment about the old man 'telling on him', then proceeded to throw a bucket of popcorn at the old man while standing less than 2 feet away from him.. Assault on the elderly. Did he deserve to get shot, no. But even the guy's wife was trying to hold him back (hence her getting shot in the hand while trying to diffuse.
The old man was definitely in the wrong but the man who got shot sounded like an grown up bully.
and as we were taught in elementary school, the best way to deal with bullies is to fatally shoot them.
to answer the op's question:
i don't usually text in the movies. if i do, it's because my mother has texted me 20 times asking "where are you?? are you okay????" because she doesn't remember that i told her that i'm going to the movies with my boyfriend. in this case, i'll cover the (dimmed) screen and tell her "at the movies" and put my phone back in my pocket, where it's on vibrate and nobody can hear it. if you can hear a phone vibrate in somebody's pocket during a movie and it's upsetting you, maybe you should take your head out of their lap.
occasionally, i'll text during the previews or the pre-previews. nobody cares about the pre-previews, and while i do enjoy watching the previews, i don't see anything wrong with texting during them, as they're not what i actually paid $8.25 to see. during longer movies, i'll sometimes check the time. when i saw an unexpected adventure, by about 2.5 hours in, i was kind of concerned that i had entered a time warp because there was no smaug and i didn't realize it was going to be a trilogy. i checked the time, figured out that there would be at least one more part, and put my phone away for the last half hour.
if somebody texts during the movies, i still don't see it as a huge deal. it's slightly distracting, but since i'm able to multi-task and my ears still function if my eyes aren't looking at the screen, i don't miss much, if any, of the movie. i'm then able to use context clues to deduce what happened in the 5 seconds i lost reading the person's text.
i've never witnessed anybody answering a call and having a conversation during a movie. if they did, i'd give them a couple seconds and if they showed no signs of stopping, i'd go out and let somebody know that someone was talking on the phone and that it was distracting.
my theatre has a no phones policy, and it also has an app where if you put your phone in cinemode (automatically dimmed screen and on vibrate), you get free food or drink. so i do that, as do most other people with smartphones that i've seen in the theatre.
also, rudeness and distractions are subjective. i don't see texting shortly on a dimmed screen on a silenced or vibrating phone as being rude or distractive, but apparently the very feat of taking your cell phone into a theatre is the most rude thing that could ever happen to some people.0 -

I think the real issue here are guns. Guns kill innocent people. The only people allowed to have guns should be policeman who are here to serve and protect, and the army.

:sick: If guns kill people so do knives, baseball bats, trucks, trains, lightning bolts, chainsaws. I guess we better ban all these things too.0 -
I live about 5 minutes away from this theater. I have never been to a show there that had more than a handful of people during the day. It's so sad if it was really bothering him that he didn't just move to another seat!0

Then again its common that in rural areas and small towns is where this specific brand of anti-social insanity is most likely to percolate.0 -

Also sad that a man in his prime would antagonize, call names and throw things at an elderly man.0 -
Seeing the breaking news story on the fatal shooting at a movie theater in Wesley Chapel where one person is dead and another one is injured, it was devastating that the person who was distracted by a man using his cell phone to text to his daughter at home decided to pull out his gun and shoot him. There's one thing that came out of it, another man caught him and took his gun away from his hand and reported him to theater security leading him to his arrest on Monday afternoon. Sad to see any person that doesn't follow the rules about turning off your cell phones in a movie theater would continue to text during the film and end up in danger. If I were to bring my phone into a movie theater, I would turn it off completely and put it in my purse until the end of the film. This is one of the rules that every moviegoer should follow. Turn off your cellphones and do not text during the film.
I agree with you for the most part, but let's add that is also sad that a person didn't obey the "no guns allowed in the theater" rule and proceeded to KILL another person. Sad that a retired policemen trained to protect and serve decided to get pissed off and kill.
And by the way, being 71 years old doesn't give him a carte blanched to kill.0 -

While I agree there was no reason to shoot anyone in this situation, I believe you are wrong about being able to bring your gun into the theatre. It is not against the law to conceal a gun in a movie theatre in Florida.0 -
haha! You do know texting and driving kills more people in the US than guns right?As soon as I enter a movie theatre I turn off my phone and keep it off until the movie is over. If you need to keep in contact with someone then maybe you should just stay home where you'll be more accessible and not interrupt others.
Good advice, but make sure your gun has a bullet in the chamber so you can start shooting as soon as someone else does something that annoys you.
I'm shocked at the amount of people on this thread that think they need to take a gun to a movie theatre. They are part of the problem.
I think I am the only one. Your post is ridiculous of course. As I posted earlier, your phone has killed as many people as my gun, and no one has ever seen it at the theatre. Can the same be said for your phone? And btw, I have a permit and have never seen a "no gun" notice at the theatre's I attend. Please save your politics for an appropriate opportunity.
This from the same person who takes her children and her gun to a theatre? What could possibly go wrong here?
You are proud to be an American but frightened of everyone in your neighborhood to the point where you need a gun everywhere you go...to the dentist, to the daycare, to your Moms house etc.. Going to the park with my kids...stroller? check! diapers? check! loaded gun? check!
Having a permit does not mean you are making compotent choices. Im sure the guy in the movie theatre had a permit too and he murdered someone.
Personally, my phone has never killed anyone. Stop telling lies to prove your point. Lets compare how many people die from cell phones vs. guns world wide. Would anyone have died in this movie theatre situation if no one had a gun? Very unlikely.0 -
I take it you're one of those rude people who needs someone to tell her to cut it out. You're awfully defensive if not.
By telling you to shutup? Please tell me what your defense would be? It's not that complicated..when I tell someone to shutup they have two choices, they can shutup or keep texting, if they keep texting they get thrown out because at least in Ireland we don't tolerate that ****
It's a win win for the non texter. You're breaking the rules, keep on doing so wont end good in your favor. It's not rocket science people. I've done it countless amounts of times myself, and have seen it happen tonnes. I have no qualms with putting people in their place. 99% of people won't actually tell someone to shutup but I can guarantee 100% of them are thinking the same thing when someone actually tells them too
People need to stop being arrogant and self imposed important
Countless times you have gotten in someone's face and demanded that they do or don't do something you want them to? How often does that escalate to physical violence I wonder? Hmmm...
Yep, this is the same girl that says she texts clients in the theater. Lovely...0 -

The "Old" man was 71 and the victim was 43. So no, it was not half the older person age. The shooter was a retired policemen who should have know how to react and act in this particular situation, and if his age or physical condition impaired his judgement, he should not have a permit to carry a gun; which by the way was not allowed in the theater either.
To excuse or justify the shooter's behavior or to say that you don't feel bad abut the victim is the same as justifying rape just because a woman was wearing a short dress. By your statement you are actually justifying schools shooting because somebody was bullied.
There is not justification for murder!0 -

That theater has rules about not cell phones and no guns allowed. It doesn't matter if concealed weapons are allowed in Florida, private companies can impose its own rules.0 -
There are certain laws about it and private businesses can restrict them on their own property. Even if you have a concealed weapons permit, if the theater says, "No guns," you can't bring your gun in there. Or I guess you can if no one knows about it. But you can be thrown out or possibly arrested for doing so.If the rule at the movie theater is no concealed weapons why would you have a gun at the movie theater?
I have no idea how it works in America but aren't people allowed to carry weapons on them, like a handgun? If so, there's nothing stopping him bringing that anywhere. AFAIK there has been other shootings at movies before, maybe in time it will become a thing where movie theaters will have metal detectors, but then again like I said, there's no reason to because if someone is going to shoot someone, they wouldn't limit it to just in the movies. That was a specific situational occurrence
Yes, there are very specific ways to ban conceal and carry in an area. Stand alone jewelry stores often go at it the correct legal fashion. Bars do as well. "No weapons" on a rule board actually doesn't cut it legally. You have to post specific way in specific locations etc.
Edit: Verbal correction, gov't rules makes establishments with over 50/51% of sales as alcohol must post a sign that indicates such so that CCLs know they cannot enter while carrying.0 -

I don't know how accurate the presented facts are but if a 43 yr old male becomes baligerant and menacing (both of these first things likely true if their wife is 1) trying to restrain him but 2) unsuccessfully doing so) AND he starts assaulting me (throwing items at other is considered assault) I would be inclined to defend myself. IF these facts play out as stated, the 71 yr old man is unlikely to be found guilty in a court of law even if it is determined that there is enough evidence to take the case to court.0 -

Not guilty? Well, it is Florida so we shouldn't have too many expectations that justice will be served....and lets remember that popcorn is a weapon of mass destruction that needs to be stopped by a semiautomatic gun.0 -
Don't get me started I am sickened by cell phone use in public. I think shooting is extreme but ushers should kick out cell phone users texting or reading FB pages, anything that throws out light. I am serious. Cell phones are horrid when people have to check on it like it was a pace maker or colostomy bag, their life depends on it? Really? Eating places should ban them also.0

Now your just being absurd. If a 5 yr old throws something at you it is different if an angry individual who actively sought you out in a theater confronts you. Hell spitting is considered assault in most states. I'm less then 5 ft tall, if you are moving aggressively towards me while cursing up a storm and is unrestrainable by others, I'm going to feel threatened. Start throwing things and your now less then 2 ft away I think I'm entitled to defend myself. I might have opted to take out his knees and have him face years of reconstruction w my martial arts skills. But you don't throw gas on fire and start physical altercations w/I expecting negative results. This case is a bit extreme but come on its a 71 yr old guy w some guy physically in his face threatening him. What if it had been your father or grandfather threatened?0 -
No weapons or weapons must be checked and locked does not apply to CCLs in all settings. Bass Pro has a range inside the store. Store rules are that guns must be locked before passing through the store and going to the gun range. This does not apply to CCLs. So general posted signs about "no weapons" also don't apply. These post must be very specific in specific areas to actually apply to CCL. Pay attention next time you walk into a bar or a stand alone jewelry store. You'll see the notices.0

Are you seriously defending the shooter?
He's a retired cop who should know how to de-escalate a situation. He had popcorn thrown at him; no other physical contact made, nothing else thrown at him.
A few weeks ago he followed a woman who had been texting in a theater when she left to go to the bathroom; made her feel uncomfortable. Would she have been justified in shooting him because she felt intimidated?0 -
I could see if someone was actually talking on the phone (or to others) but texting?
That's a bit ridiculous and downright silly to be upset over IMO

Honestly you come across as a gun-nut now.
You mentioned nowhere that that old man was being senile and over-entitled like most elderly tend to be, angry and pissed off (they will die soon, they no longer have motivation for balance, tolerance and intellectual integrity, all thats left is bitterness) so this dumb old *kitten* is over there snitching, causing drama, hating on you for trying to text your daughter during previews and over-all being a hateful prick and is driving you crazy. He drove that guy to anger, baited him into being borderline aggressive and murdered him.
If you defend that you are a gun-nut, end of story.
If that old judgmental *kitten* had just let it go and minded his own business instead of driving the guy nuts with some anal retentive obsession, that guys' daughter would still have a father today.
Only a scumbag would ignore all the human elements and just say: "well the rules are as such"

Hell spitting is considered assault in most states
spitting on someone isn't assault because it's rude. spitting is considered assault because saliva is a major carrier of communicable disease, which is why people with hiv/aids who spit on people are charged with aggravated assault. if you have an open wound or spit gets into your mouth, you can get mono, viral meningitis, the flu, or cold sores (herpes simplex). if the person has a sore or wound in their mouth, you're now susceptible to any blood-borne pathogen.
last time i checked, popcorn was not a deadly weapon. if you get popcorn on you, you're not going to get any diseases that could potentially threaten your life or your quality of life.0 -
I find people texting during a movie very distracting and people checking Facebook even more annoying. Of course there has been a few times when I have needed to keep my phone switched on while at the cinema. Guess what I did? I switched it to vibrate and when it rang I left the theater to return the call. Killing someone is extreme and not justifiable however there are times when I feel like hitting people over it, however I can control my anger.0

For those of you who say I need to turn my phone off, can I still sneak in candy?
For the record, I do turn my phone off during movies. If the movie is particularly tedious, I might turn it back on to repeatedly check the time, hoping for the movie to soon be over.
And please don't leave your seat to check your phone. Having to get up to let someone pass is worse than I phone being turned on.0
