The Movie Theater Tattler device

I just read about this new movie theater device for Tattling on A-holes

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/te...ess-tool_N.htm

This could be great. This could also be a death sentence. Where i live, if this becomes noticable and you whip out this device to report a cell phone guy.. there is a good chance you are going to get shot after the movie ends.

I recommend running to your car after the show.


What do you guys think?

Seems like an awesome idea as long as it's anonymous and the people with the devices aren't just tattling on random people.

It's getting a lot worse. I had some asshole's girlfriend speaking in Spanish translating the movie for him during AT WORLD'S END. After constantly shushing them and telling them to shut up, he asked me if I had a problem. Fucking ridiculous.

The MPAA allows one use of the word "fuck" in a PG-13 movie. I gladly used it at the midnight showing of SPIDER-MAN 3 to an shitty joke-spouting idiot with his two kids. "Fuck" helps.

I'd rather bring Fabfunk so he can curb-stomp any offending attendees.

I'd like to see a full keypad on these. When you sit down, you type in your credit card number. Then, if someone is loud or disturbing during the movie, you can type in the coordinates of their seat and deliver them a high-voltage shock. No need to get the management involved at all. Maybe there could be a payment scale for levels of intensity (surprise, stun, kill, etc.) too.

what happens after you push one of the buttons? Will someone walk in, look around, see nothing and leave? or will they approach you during the movie for a debriefing?

its a noble effort, and its nice to see some effort on their parts, but they're spending money that could simply be used to hire ushers or just more employees in general. that aren't 16 years old. and working for 6 bucks an hour.

and this line kills me:
"Owners still recall, though, the 2005 box office slump that led many to fear disturbances had done permanent damage."

beware the slump. dumb fucks.

Just make it a laser pointer in a frequency range that's hard to see -- you've essentially painted the target and laser guided micro missiles will home in and deal with the issue. Later, minimum wage serfs will vacuum the seat clean.

On a (bit) more serious note, if you give out a bunch of these things, then it would require several people pointing at the same asshole to produce the intensity needed to bring out the 16 year old suit hanger to say, "Please don't make me come down and warn you again!"

Yes, I'm still bitter they didn't restart the movie after the first 5 minutes of the AOTC preview had no sound.
