Or interrupting the movie, switching on the lights and displaying row and seat of the antisocial in large letters on the screen, and then wait until the dust has settled.  |
Yeah, a jamming device would be sweet.
I go into a movie these days with a sense of dread...I could easily be Williamson. I can see myself throwing a drink on someone and exclaiming "oh my god, I'm so sorry!! Oh, oh, I tripped, I didn't mean it..." etc. with as much sincerity as I can muster to keep the situation for turning into a brawl.
Last movie I went to see was Iron Man 3, against my better judgement I went with my daughter on a Sunday. I sugested we wait a couple weeks and see it on a Tuesday at 4pm... but she wanted to go. Sure enough, theater full of stupid people, cell phones on, idiot in front of me kept stretching and waving his arms in the air. Finally I had enough of the cell phone crap and started kicking the seats. Wow, it doesn't take much and you can set yourself off. After a couple prelim kicks, I went full Chuck Norris on the seat and the people in front of me started yelling.
Totally ruins the mood and the movie.
