EXCUSE ME! The man and the rest of the audience should have filed a complaint against the woman. There are clear notices given before movies to "TURN OFF YOUR PHONE". Common courtesy dictates one not talk during a movie - on or off a phone. I am sorry, but this woman must think the world revolves around her and she is so special that every day rules not apply to her. She will get no sympathy from me. Bravo for the Crete man standing up for the audience as a whole.

Someone should give this guy an award! What is the thought process of people who are so entitled they talk over the movie (beyond a quick whisper)--to their friends through out or especially on a cell call? Take the call outside if it must be taken right then.

The rest of the people in the theater PAID to see the movie! Wouldn't it be nice if we could make those rude people paid for our tickets when they disrupt the movies??

Why was the woman not cited??

Totally Agree With You Diana!!! How Rude Of This Woman, If She Wants To Talk, Leave The Movie!!!! The Rest Of The Audience, Paid Good Money To Watch The Movie Not Listen To Her Phone Conversation!!!

My new t-shirt: "Crete Man says: Turn off your damn phone!"
Go Crete Man! You had every right to say that!

I am growing increasingly annoyed with the rude people who accept calls, text and talk loudly whilst watching a movie. Can't these people turn off their cell phone for under two hours! Are they so important they cannot be out of contact for such a short time. We need to bring back ushers who can police the audience for texting etc. Be polite, you may not wish to hear the movie but others who have paid good money, do. Bravo to the Crete man!!

I'm speechless. Absolute buffoonery!

I agree with all of you, but it extends past the movie theatre.. how about on the train, while driving or at any other "quiet" event!! I think we were all better off without cell phones! I watched 2 kids walking down the street, unusual as THAT is, but they were both texting. I figured they were texting each other since no one knows how to speak to one another any more!!

I recall seeing a news story back in 1955 "Flossmoor baby dropped on head". This must be the same person. She's a victim. Poor thing.

Some people just dont get it...

she wanted to register a complaint??!! The guy was absolutely right--people don't want to hear people yapping during movies--turn off the damn phone or take it to the lobby. She was the rude one. Sounds kooky too.

Sorry my fault. Ok well she is very clueless

Stay classy Ms. Flossmoor! She should be forced to refund every patron's ticket cost out of her own pocket. The theater usher should have removed her from the theater --do they even have ushers any more?

The headline should have read, "Rude Flossmoor woman files superfluous complaint".

If she wasn't so busy talking on the phone she might have seen the notices about turning it off! Good for him. Only thing worse than having a phone conversation during a movie is having a cell phone ring during a church service. Puh-leez! Think about where you are!

Why is this in the paper? Smh! There's mzny more problems going on lol

What a waste of police resources. I hope someone at Marcus sees all of these comments so that next time they can take a more appropriate course of action.

I think the identity of the "complaining witness" is an item of interest.....

So far it's Crete Man 18, Rude Woman 0! The police should have laughed at her!

I bet she was gabbing away into the air as so many people do in grocery stores. I used to think they were troubled people, but I now know they can't go for any amount of time talking about nothing on the phone through the wireless ear pods wired into their brains. Especially when it's something like "And I told her 'f*** you b****!" and I'm with my young kids (it's happened). It's as if they don't think the world can hear them.

The only multi-tasking that should be happening in a movie is watching the movie, while eating popcorn, drinking a soda, and programming the fart machine.

Using rudeness to combat rudeness is usually not real successful.

And this is why I wait a few months for the Redbox or Family Video release. Watching in the comfort of my home, without the nonsense (phone calls, obscene language, yelling at the screen, kicking my chair) is worth the delay. Who wants to pay good money for that kind of abuse?

This is ignorant, Lets all pay BIG bucks to go to a movie and listen to some moronic yard ape babble on her cell phone, and then have no right to say anything. The real question is,, was this a HATE crime will the man be put in prison, will he be put to death or just flogged? GEEEEZE Ditch the phone you self centered ignoramous!

. I'm surprised the police even responded to this call. Waste. A lot worser crimes are being committed. I'm a healthcare worker and I always put my phone on vibrate for theaters and church. I wouldn't be surprised this is the same woman that brings her kids to rated R movies.

This story is not newsworthy and this woman is crazy.

The woman who pressed charges has big issues if this how she gets love and attention!

Sign a complaint for what? What's the charge?

Go to an usher and let them handle it , you don't work at the theater, lucky you were not shot.
