Cell Phones in the movie theatre

Recommended Posts

I was just reading through some of the comments on the google page for the 4 season theatre here in Greensboro, and was surprised to find out that people have been kicked out of the theater for being on their phone. Not talking, not texting, but using it for email purposes (or whatever else you can do on a phone.

What say you...(talking is not an option because that is un-acceptable, and should be subject to caning.

Yeah, we need to spread the word that cell phones aren't okay at all in the theater. People now think, "If it's not making noise it's fair game, derp derp derp." No, it's really not, because now I've got a piercing white iPhone screen in my field of vision that's distracting me. These damned movies cost $15 dollars to go see, not including the food, so yes, this minor inconvenience is really pissing me off, I'm trying to follow the movie, and I don't care if you think you really can't wait to tell Tina G, "At movi emeet u at Tsco Bel after"

I can always tell when the end of a movie is coming because a dull glow comes from where we all sit from people figuring out where they are going next. I hate it.

But this REALLY needs to be curbed in the IMAX 3D type places that charge 15 dollars a seat - it's an investment, not a waste of a couple of hours at that point.

I map out the shows I am going to see and in what order on a post it when I movie hop.

Kinda lo-tech but it works fine for me.....

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
