Mobile Phones at the Movies!

We all have experiance this happening to us, right in the middle of a movie, just before the girl turns around to see the ghost, the fella's phone behind you rings! Its bad enough that it rang and he didn't turn the phone off, he proceeds to ANSWER the call... If THAT wasn't bad enough, he speaks LOUDLY!. This may not happen as much in western countries, but here in Asia, this is 'normal'. Oh how this makes me want to bitch slap the fella. Problem is, in asia, the fella won't even know that his actions are not socially exceptable, and suddenly YOU are at fault for getting upset, and then he feels justifed to get mad at you for embarassing HIM!

And so, this is what i purpose. Cinemes or Multiplexes should install a spotlight beam, like the one Batman uses. When a moblie phone rings, The movie will pause, then the spotlight will beam down on the respective fool that answered the call. The usher or an audio recording will make an anouncement.

Something like 'We are sorry ladies and gentlemen, but the movie has been paused to allow person highlighted to take the very important call. It is clear that this person is so very important to the outside world, that the phone can not be switched off. For those of you who do not know we are being sarcastic, we mean for the person NOW in seat J23 to switch off your phone! This is your final warning! Failure to comply will result in us throwing your rude ass out FOREVER. NO REFUND. Thank you. Kindly wait for the highlighted person to comply before we can continue the movie.'

If the person has been thrown out, his picture will be posted on a wall outside the ticket booth to tell people that he has been banned. This is my dream. Some people need to be told. If you get are offended with what i've just said, or not know whats so wrong about answering a phone in a cinema, THEN YOU ARE THE ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT!

This is what propose, a spotlight to beam down and highlight the rude bastard on the mobile phone thats disrupting the movie.

I reckon, shine the mofo....drag his ass out immediately. No need for polite warnings. Actions speak louder...

 Does anyone still use this???   Seriously.....
