i just detest ringing phones period

Someone green-screen a set of claws into that vid....please!

Looks like you had a fun time - love the pic of Lucy warming by the fire and Ben with his mighty swing! We are heading up north with 9 couples for two days. No little children to adore - and the comfort of a motel room. Different chapter.

Sara,

The flowers are still looking pretty good and were lovely all week. The bars lasted about three hours - with restraint. Yummy! Many thanks. Love you all.

hello members please reply on this topic..

It is the plague of our lives. People who are so totally immersed in their insignificant meaningless lives, inflated with their own groundless self image and oblivious to the rest of humanity. It’s too bad some folks in the audience didn’t pick him up, drag him out kicking and screaming and toss him into the Hudson.

Well said, sir.

You said it; some people are so rude now: walking, driving, eating, etc. with their cell phones, our society has gotten to the point of no one caring about anything but their sorry selves ... do they still talk while they fuck too?!

Worse: they twit while they fuck.

thanx for the chuckle; they are all sad!!

Cellphone jammers would be in place right now if the FCC weren't owned by AT&T, Verizon, and all the other phone companies. And it's simple: if there were an emergency, the jammers could be turned off. The only alternative are black market jammers which will someday be quite plentiful...

I think this person was a Wolverine and James Bond fan who had never been to a serious theater play in his life. I mean, really?

Jammers are all well and good until the first time someone whose phone is jammed in a theater doesn't get that "important call". Then it's lawsuit city.

that's what voicemail is for

What if it's a physician? Although I'm sure some people will argue that doctors don't have the right to go out and enjoy themselves because an emergency may come up at any time. Using common courtesy by using vibrate mode, checking the number discreetly (holding the phone as low as possible so only a few people around you can see the lit display) and stepping out to take the call is the way to go.

I think it would have been better if Jackman had gone into the audience, taken the phone and answered it. "Hi, this is Hugh Jackman. How are you? Listen, your idiot friend can't come to the phone right now because he's in a theater and your call is interrupting a live performance. How about you call him back in a few hours? 'kay? Thank you. Bye."

Jammers now! Jammers everywhere public!

why can't they have something in theaters where once you walk into the theater or once the show starts, you have no service or it just radioactively turns your phone/contraption off?

i know im asking for too much....apparently it's too much hassle for these numb nuts to press OFF>

Methinks monkeymafia's tongue is in his cheek. Perhaps the responding INTENSE theatergoers might appreciate a bit of humor.

Also, I am a hipster and I've come with my army of bespectacled, bedraggled, be-skinny jeaned art-school grads and fellow band members to gentrify your neighborhood and I don't care about anyone but myself and my PBR and I secretly hate minorities and those who lived in Bushwick before me and I want to push them out with expensive coffee and luxury lofts because I'm shallow like that.

I am not an intense theatregoer but I am still waitin' on the humor...BE MORE FUNNY

knock knock?

So many people taking this seriously. Sounds like monkeymafia was just making a joke based on how inconsiderate people tend to think. Or, at least I hope so.
