so I saw American Gangster after work on Friday. By the way, an instant epic, tour de force for Denzel Washington, oscar material. Great atmosphere without computer generated effects.
So the movie started at 510 and I left work at 515. arrived at about 530, and it was still showing previews till 535. That means, 25 minutes of commercials and previews. an outrage.
but since i missed most of it, yea!
But a person's cell phone rang toward the end of the movie.
How many movies have you seen the message "Silence is Golden. Please turn off your cell phones." ???!!!
So I said, in a normal voice, without inflection and no emotion, "cellphone" as if the person had never seen the 'silence is golden. please turn off cellphone' message.
That is what I've been doing. It is happening in almost every movie. a cell phone rings, and the person thinks nothing about answering it.
There is no legislative action about turning off cell phones. the movie management does nothing about it. resistance is not futile.
I have started this action, since a movie-goer was talking on a cell phone. I was seeing 'Ratatouille' It was ok but the reviewer said the producers did research in kitchens so the cartoon characters would get the kitchen moves. Anyway a little disappointed and left the movie early. but when the guy was talking on the cell phone. and told the management that 'somebody is talking on cellphone' the management was like, 'so what do you want me to do about it?'
I WANT YOU TO GO IN THE THEATRE AND TELL THE PERSON 'SHUT UP'
