Cell Phones in Movie Theaters



Recommended Posts

I saw The Golden Compass tonight - excellent movie!

What I hate about going to the movies - watching everyone's cell phone light up when they open it to, what, look at their texts? I'm not that technologically advanced to even know how to text on a phone, so I'm assuming that's what they're doing. Anyway, the lighted up display is VERY distracting and annoying.

This rant is a little mild - it's because I'm too tired to pick out the right words, not because it's not irritating to me! :angry

My daughter and I went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks tonight. Wonderful children's movie. She really loved it.

And to the person behind me who kept kicking the back of my seat all night, right back at ya! :heh:

My daughter also wants to go see the Golden Compass. I think we might go see that tomorrow. I was too tired from her girl scout meeting today to do back to backs.

At Alvin last night, the theater was packed and a family of 4 came in just as the movie was starting and yelling over the sound wanted people to play musical chairs so they could sit together. If you cant get to the theater on time you should just settle for whats available or see the next one.

I completly agree and is it really that hard to get popcorn, sodas and drinks before the movie starts? I understand having to take your children to the restroom, but you knew someone was going to want something from concession before you came into the theatre.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
