Rant of the Day.


I went to see a film at the Silver City yesterday. It has stadium seating. I was sitting about halfway up. Several times near the beginning of the film someone down near the front pulled out some sort of digital device which had a lit up display about 4 inches square. The person was texting or something. It was incredibly distracting.

What is it with people being so inconsiderate as to not clue in that they are bothering the people around them? And why were they doing whatever they were doing at all? They had just paid $11.00 to see a film so one would think that would be their priority. The movie had just started so not enough had played for it to become apparent whether it was a bad movie or not yet.

If had been sitting closer I would have thrown some of my overpriced popcorn at them.

The same happened to me last Tuesday at Western Film. Somebody was sitting two seats away from me and a couple of times opened her phone to send a message. I really can't believe those people: first, they go to the cinema and do not pay attention to the movie; and second, they do not respect the rest of the audience.
