Wait, what? How on earth does looking at my phone affect anyone but me? It’s on silent, screen is dimmed. It is literally impossible to annoy anyone unless they are some old fogey fool that thinks I’m being disrespectful.

And yeah yeah dungfungus, no need to try be a INTERWEBS TOUGH GUY, we all know you wouldn’t do anything if I was sitting next to you and used my phone.

Someone mentioned “flatulence” on another post. This would be a better way to neutralise someone like you so I promise not to hit you if you sit next to me and you start playing with it. I promise you a painless departure by methane instead. You would learn what “respect” meant too.

But, respect needs to be earned. Did I get that right?

I don’t think anyone else’s just looking at their phone is worth getting offended about. Maybe they need to provide life-saving information at all hours. Maybe they work as online sexy chat providers and take the work when they can get it. If you want to be around other people you need to accept their eating/drinking sounds, the glow from their phones, risk of flatulence and other basic normal human stuff. If they leave their phone set to super loud or talk into it during the film, then they are being obnoxious.

I will and do use my iPhone whenever I want in any situation. If this bothers you, then you need to go live on a deserted island where tech does not exist.

What sort of busy body moron gets offended by somebody looking at a phone? Mind your own business.

Pendejo. Los gentes similares que tu son la problema de este país.

Agree. He is on this blog at least.

does julian assange have any walk-on roles?

Julian “Me” Assange would only accept a starring role, not some cameo appearance!

In the Bell Shakespeare production of Macbeth last year (?) a woman next to us started texting. It really lit up the darkened theatre, and totally changed the atmosphere, which had been deliberately created as an important part of the play. We asked her to stop, and she did.

The films sound interesting.

That’s what I do as well. Others in the audience usually applaud my direct action.
The films will be interesting but I am sure Comic_and_Gamer_Terd will turn up with iPads and Kindles to prove his anti-social points.

How is it anti social when I am using social media?

It is anti-social because it disrupts the enjoyment of other people around you. It’s their social space too. Would you talk during a film too?

I am advised that knuckle sandwiches will be available after the film.

You know, you might be right on this point. And yes, I have a source.

Why is it necessary to constantly look at a second illuminated screen while there is a big illuminated screen in front of you which is presenting something that you went to see? If you prefer to play with your phone (in your case, a penis extension) why bother to do it in a theatre?
Make sure you don’t try to use your toy if you are sitting next to me in a theatre and by all means, use your phone freely when you are driving your car because it doesn’t bother the busy body moron police.

What a incredibly silly comment on so many levels.

I’m not suggesting that this would be the place where you would show restraint however there are instances where some adherence to etiquette would be appropriate eg funerals,courts,important meetings etc.

Correct.

It’s really up to the house to set, and enforce, the rules on this sort of thing.

Nothing more annoying to go to good (free) stuff like these movies and have half the audience play with their toys. It is very disrespectful to the hosts also but “respect” is no longer a value in this country.

Whatever, old man.

Respect needs to be earned first.

So people who learn how to act; people who learn how to write scripts; people who have the technical skills to create films for a global stage; the people who work as directors, producers, film crews and national film corporations, as well as the goodwill of visitors to our country who are providing artistic efforts as a gift …
Wow. Just wow. You are a hard marker if you can’t think there might be one idea in that lot to respect.

And so does intelligence or you wouldn’t have insulted the hosts ANCLAS and The Emabassy of Ecuador like that, pelotudo.

Exactly, df. There are some incredibly ignorant people out there, and they’re all not just Gen X either.
