A lesson in courtesy
Last night, me and my family went to see Finding Nemo. Another great movie from Pixar. If you liked all the other Pixar films, Toy Story I & II, Bug's Life, and Monsters Inc., then you'll like this one.
But, just like the last time I went to the theater, the people behind me were rude. I didn't really expect complete silence at this movie, since it's a kids film, so I didn't get too upset. Well, that and Aaron was as bad as the people behind me. But this was different. You see the guy behind me had a cell phone and he made no effort to turn it off... oh and before I finish, note to the cinemas out there: I will pay extra to see a film in a room equiped with cell phone jamming. Why not jam some rooms and leave others unjammed and let the market decide which is better? It works with smoking. Well, there the illegality of it, but I think Hollywood is familiar with the lobbying process... but I digress.
So this guy behind me gets two phone calls during the movie. I'm pretty sure he selected the William Tell Overture for his ringer. I'm convinced the William Tell Overture is the anthem of obnoxious cell phone abusers everywhere. Anyway, he makes no attempt to even lower his voice during these calls. But here's the good bit: After he hangs up from his second call, his child begins talking to him and before the boy can finish what he's saying, the Dad turns to him and, I'm not making this up I promise, he turns to him and says, "Shhh! People are trying to watch the movie".
