Disgusting in the dark
To the middle-aged guy with the red jacket who went to see Underworld Evolution Sunday afternoon: Keep it in your pants! You are disgusting and you totally ruined the movie for me. I came to see vampires and action, not to see you grabbing your u

yeah right – asking the little jackasses that work at the movie theatres to do anything besides flirt with each other and stand around and pick their noses is going to happen! good luck with that! may i suggest pointing and laughing – gets the point across, and also provides great hilarity for all those around to see wankers being made fun of!
Sunday afternoon?! That’s some sick shit. Kids could go see that!
WOw, sat there and just let it happen, eh? So much for being pro-active. Next time get that pudgy butt off the amply-cushioned theatre seating and do something other than write about it after the fact when the damage has already been done. Personally I opt for the flashlight-in-the-theatre trick. Put a spotlight on that prick, nevermind the pun.
it would have been A-OK as long as he covered himself with his jacket
The hell is red jacket jerking off to Underworld for? That’s reserved for romantic shit like “Date Movie”…Come on, even I have ‘standards’…
you were totally mortified yet you stayed and continued to watch the film?, the film that was totally ruined, why didn’t you leave?, tell the manager why, get you $ back and wait till the next showing?
tm, if it was a middle-aged monkey wearing a red coat jerking off at the theatre would you be as upset?this is actually a serious question, it is aimed at our ability to ignore and let others be with whatever they choose to do all long as it is not hurting anyone (btw, ‘making someone uncomfortable’ is not hurting them unless it aimed directly at them, no pun intended), i assume the man in the red coat did not intend to make tm uncomfortable, he wanted to make himself feel better, tm is obviously uncomfortable with masturbation, not enough to leave the theatre but enough to right a ‘bitch’ about it after the fact, interesting and curious, 99.98% of humans masturbate so why does it make some of us so uncomfortable?i understand it is a public place and potentially unsanitary, depending on the ending
