So, the theater just told me for the first time ever to leave my cell phone on and now I’m watching a pre movie clip with a car going down the highway.
…………I wonder what will happen next?
[Comment deleted, not even close to being on topic – ed.]
splunge??
I’m sure you’ve see this Tim, start at funny enough 3:33.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3v0I4OQi7CQ
There’ll be plenty of time for that later on…
Rolling credits at the end I just noticed a lot of people with the name ending in berg. Is that a finger pointing at Hollyweird, proclaiming Jews run the show?
Nowadays that would be called anti-Semitism, although I don’t know why. It’s kinda like saying most pizzerias are run by Italians.
I hate msg. I hate food they don’t pick the teeth out of. {if we picked the teeth out, it wouldn’t be pressure-cooked, steamboiled crunchycat; would it??
Too bad it’s illegal to put mild shock devices in the theater seats to really reinforce the concept. Too close to their brain “cells,” I suppose.
The Tingler!

Great sci-fi film with good ole Vincent Price.
More William Castle gimmicks. Those were the days.
http://fearnet.com/news/list/william-castles-five-top-movie-gimmicks
Back in the mid 90’s we went to Disney/Epcot and the “Honey, I shrunk the Audience” experience had some good Castle type gimmicks.
“This is a 3-D offshoot of Disney’s feature film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Honey, I Shrunk the Audience features an array of special effects, including simulated explosions, smoke, fiber optics, lights, water spray, and moving seats. This attraction is played strictly for laughs – a commodity that’s in short supply when it comes to Epcot entertainment.”
“From One Second To The Next” A Film By Werner Herzog.

William Castle was a B-movie genius. There are several good documentaries out there about Castle, and even a film I think, with John Goodman playing him.
Start at 21:20 for Goodman singing, If that’s Goodman he’s not bad, actually a very good rendition of Feelin Alright.

One of the reasons why I always bring my portable cell phone jammer to the theater with me…
I wish theaters had cell phone jammers so idiots couldn’t get or make calls in the middle of movies.
In the U. S., it’s against federal law to possess or use cell phone jammers.
In the late 1990s, U. S. universities wanted to come up with ways to make students stop talking on their cell phones during lectures – in lecture halls and auditoriums in particular. These were GSM, TDMA and early CDMA phones.
I had to get to the lecture hall early so that I didn’t have to sit near the back or top of the hall. Cell phones rang throughout the lecture. A student would answer; then, step out of the auditorium – a huge distraction.
In Japan, there was a wooden paneling that blocked cell phone signals. It was a a passive solution since it didn’t transmit a signal. I don’t know if these panels were approved for the U. S.
It IS a cool Public Service Announcement though!
… And on a side note, for those of you who say Washington can’t do anything good, here’s a missed headline (missed by our tech guru Dvorak, that is):
“Bill Allowing Americans To Unlock Cellphones Passes House, Heads To Obama”
source:
http://npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/07/25/335351105/bill-allowing-americans-to-unlock-cellphones-passes-house-heads-to-obama
[Warning: Stay on topic, no splunging – ed]
Splunge.
This is an EASY problem to solve folks. Make it a national law against operating a cell phone while driving. The first offense is $200, the second is $500 and the third is loss of driving privileges for a year. Texting and driving would virtually stop in a matter of weeks.
Better yet…make the second offense a full-time promotion to using only two-wheeled transportation for at least a year.
There will be no third-time offenders. 🙂
You REALLY want to get an offender’s attention?
At 1st offense, they have to trade in smartphone for an old flip-style phone without even basic texting ability.
Two excellent ideas. Maximum enforcement with minimum “real” impact.
Well done.
Too much common sense though and BiG Retail would be against it.
Better to half laws that only hurt the general public.
I’ve had a Nokia windows phone for about 8 months now. Not the best OS but one feature I found frustrating at first was that as soon as you started driving a motor vehicle, the phone would not pick-up calls or texts. The phone would send a message to the person trying to contact you that I was driving and will contact whoever called or texted later. Very safe feature built in. Wife hated it of course, I think it should be on all cell phones. If you have Bluetooth in car then Bluetooth would pick up.
I don’t think so. You’d need a 1000% increase in the number of police to make a dent. Heck, it already is pretty close to $200 on a first offense in California (after adding in all the extras they charge on top of the actual fine). Yet, roughly 50% of drivers I see when I’m out walking are using the phone.
Oh, and just because you yank their license, doesn’t mean they won’t drive. About half will drive anyway.
We haven’t got room to lock them up. So, I propose $1000 on first offense and cutting off fingers one at at time for subsequent offenses. That might work.
I do think so.
……but it all comes down to we the people. Driving and phones are not safe… we the people just need to be reminded of the common sense notion that its unsafe.
Most people DO use seat belts because we accept that value.
Same will occur with phones as long as cops enforce the law when observed AND some nice celebrities smile at us and tell us not to do it.
Just like everything else.
…………ultimately as enough of us get chips in our heads, the disconnect while driving will be part of our smart cars.
They need one that shows a person walking off a subway platform or off a curb into city traffic.
The love of mobile devices is apparently stronger than life itself !
Shock & Awe.
A cliffhanger. Part 2 coming next fall..bound to be a Hit!
Isn’t anyone a bit concerned they can SMS a group of customers without subscription?
You can geofence SMS messages if the person opts in. The movie goers opted in to see a free movie or something.
Are you not concerned that you believe this to be something other than a scripted and staged event? Wake up, Dude.
“Mant! Half Man, Half Ant!”
“Fiend without a Face”
“…I don’t understand, we just sprayed for brains on Tuesday…”
Here is another reason why I boycott movie theaters; I do not pay for admittance in order to sit and watch 10 minutes of commercials!
Plus, I take Curry’s advice and don’t carry a cell phone, so this lame trick won’t work.
Here here! I pretty much stopped going to the movies when they went over $10 for a ticket and still subjected me to commercials. That was years ago. I can think of only 1 real movie I’ve been to the theater for since Titanic.
Now then,
Let’s see here. The fact that people decided it was okay to talk continually in theaters is another reason I stopped going. Add in cell phones. Add in the nerve of theaters pestering you to pick up your own trash(the nerve!). Add in the general lack of worthwhile films where a big screen would matter. Add in that at home, I can stop the action when I have to piss. Add in bratty children kicking the back of my seat, smelly fat people, and that liquid nacho cheese stuff and I’m out.
But, since I’m on a rant……
Asians driving German cars? That’s a recipe of disaster if I ever saw one.
I see the ad council has finally gone with social engineering promotionals almost memorable enough to be lambasted —
Perhaps, it will be more effective if, next time, a real texting driver crashes through the theatre with a 50 cal auto-turret mounted on the hood that went active because the driver was also not wearing a seatbelt and his head dinged the ‘move’ button on the wheel — he was texting the weed guy…
“”Those might be dandy reasons to explain why a man drove his soft-top Mercedes coupe into CNN Center in downtown Atlanta early Friday, but police have a better reason: The driver was allegedly high.

This from the Guardian. A Belgian firm that produced a 2009 ad campaign “Let It Ring” has an issue with current VW ad:
http://theguardian.com/media/2014/jun/27/volkswagen-ad-in-plagiarism-row
A direct link to just the Belgian 2009 video:
https://player.vimeo.com/video/4090531
The 2014 VW ad reminds me of Volkswagen’s 2006 ads which featured a first-person account of an auto accident.
I’m sorry; I just splunged a little up my esophagous.

I once told a cop that I would have to pimp his son out to pay a ticket he gave me…
