I have recently seen several films starring Irish actors and I must say, they have been awesome. What I mean is, the movies and the acting have been great. This film looks like it will be holding up my high expectations.

People Use Twitter At A Movie; People Who Weren’t There Get Pissed
Reported by /Film, at the midnight showing of a sequel to a movie that no one had ever heard of, Crank 2: High Voltage, 30 folks from the Twitter community gathered together to “live-tweet” the film as it premiered. Unfortunately, though, some cranky old farts (or random hipsters, no one knows), were upset with this rampant use of Twitter in the movie theater. These people, however, were not even at the showing, so their point is moot:
A fun social networking movie event eventually degraded into an anger-filled shouting match. But strangely enough, no one in the theater itself was upset about cell phone usage. It was the people at home on Twitter who were outraged
Those most vocal people, or, at least, those who sat at home and read about it then got upset, were movie critics, bringing up the point that dozens of lit up screens in a theater kinda destroys the fun of going to a theater. Aziz Ansari, actor in the newish The Office clone Parks and Recreation, replied to some criticisms:
…This was Crank 2 and we did make a point to sit in the back row by ourselves where the light could not bother anyone. Basically, I don’t want to give the impression that its cool to text or Twitter in a theatre, BUT if there is a movie with a character named PoonDong… I think its a unique situation and we were respectful in how we did TwitFlix.”
So the question arises: Is Twittering during a movie with somewhat controlled circumstances a bad thing, especially during a movie that for all intents and purposes you will forget as soon as you leave? Also: who wants to get together so that we can all do this exact same thing?
