THE TMM'S

The first thing I'll have to do is come up with a better acronym to describe the "Texting-Movie-Morons", something cool like C.H.U.D. (you get the idea), but for now I'm stuck with T.M.M.

Last nights movie was an early evening showing so there weren't a lot of people in the theatre, so we figured we'd be relatively safe from TMM's, but there we are, sucked into the story and visual appeal of "District 9", when from behind us we here the tell-tale tone of someone receiving a text message. As we glance at each other, our fangs-0-death are briefly illuminated by the screen. So I figure "Okay, obviously the person thought they had their phone OFF and didn't, but now that they know, they'll remedy the situation".

Less than five minutes later, the distinct sound of a received text message is heard again. Grrrrrr.... why can't these idiot's at the least put it on VIBRATE. Hmmm, maybe they think "Vibrate" is a dirty word? It wasn't until the next tone, when I kinda got up and turned my head as if scanning the seats behind us, marking some for retribution that it finally stopped. Maybe they just finally got into the movie. Who knows?

"WHY?"

Granted, except for a few, the newer generation is a mass of stupid, unthinking, mannerless bunch of teens that can think of no one but themselves, but my GOD! What's the sense of going to a movie, paying the high price to get in, then barely watching it because you're too busy texting to your friends?

Theatres need this dude from "Dead Snow" to control cellphone freaks at the movies"

Any opinions out there? Email me....Woody
