So you decided to take out your semi professional camera in a movie theatre just to review some pictures and see how it performs in low light.
Were you really surprised when a manager came along and asked you to leave? When you decided your right was to stay and refused to relinquish your memory card or let them look at your camera and they stopped the movie, you just ruined a night out for everyone else in the theatre.
You said you weren’t filming and they have to right to ask you to leave and the started making comments on how stupid the theater employees must be to not recognize your right as a proefssional photographer. Well, you were directing your anger at the wrong person… you’re the idiot here. —
No pictures please

What a moron !
With the changes to copywrite laws etc. that has just been passed I can’t believe they didn’t call the cops on this asshole !
Looks like there’s one in every crowd.
hurr hurr, what an idiot.
That is just really stupid, I am speechless.
I would have dumped popcorn on their nappy head.
And people with expensive cameras need to stop calling themselves photographers. Having a credit card and the ability to point a camera and click the button does NOT make you a photographer, especially a professional one. As soon as the digital-camera debuted the number of “professional photographers” in the world spontaneously rose 5000%
yeah right, just checking it out, bull fucking shit, they were trying to pirate the movie. they should have used the cel phone, like most of them do. i hope they got their ass booted forever.
Some people are so stupid to the point that I couldn’t get mad at them. I just feel sorry for them instead. But then, ignorance is bliss and they must lead a wonderful life.
Everyone knows that cams suck and DVD rips are where it’s at.
After that display of “movie-related entertainment”, I hope the manager thought to ban the jerk under the protection of property act (up to 6 months). If you’re told to leave, LEAVE!
They should have charged him.
Don’t seem to recall seeing the Headline “Irate Movie crowd fuckstomp professional horsefaced fuck” – maybe it was a Canadian movie, so 6 people a crowd would not make!
Why do people have to be in complete silence when they watch a movie? any little distraction and the crowd becomes a lench mob.
Maybe because you need to get a second mortage for a movie ticket now.

Thank you.
Photography isn’t the same as the ‘days of old’.
And charge them with what, sebastien? Think before you pussy fart.
i get a chuckle from imagining sebastard calling the police to report an ambulance
“Hello, polithe?! Thith ith an umurgenthy!”

I don’t like when drunk teenagers are calling each other fags. Yes, that happened recently and we told them to shut up immediately. I have no tolerance for people talking loudly to their friends in the row ahead of them, leaving their phone’s ringer on, etc. Generally people aren’t irate with people whispering to their friend beside them.
i miss drive-ins
I still make the pilgramage to Coldbrook a few times each summer for the drive in…I know the gas adds on to the trip but for $15 a couple, cheap snacks (awesome onion rings) and two movies it’s totally worth it.
Besides, snuggling under a blanket with my honey and having no one kick the back of my seat is the icing on the cake
OP: I guess the guy missed Seinfeld’s ‘The Little Kicks’, or he’d know that filming in theatres is risky business.
Drive-ins rock! Too bad there are so few of them left in Nova Scotia. We used to go all the time to the drive-ins when living in Ontario.
there was one near gravenhurst that we used to go to. my babysitter’s took us to them when i lived in pei…always really scary flicks like “the fall of the house of usher”
