<p>Are you serious? You did this in a MOVIE THEATER??? A theater in which people had paid admissison to try to watch the movie? What a bunch of jerks. I would have given you more than a glare of death. I would have a) directly told you to shut up, and b) if that didn’t work, left the theater, gotten an usher, and had the lot of you ejected. </p>
<p>It’s one thing to do this kind of thing at Rocky Horror Picture Show, or the SoHo theater where they show The Sound of Music and everyone dresses up. But in a regular theater it is inexcusable and not amusing in the LEAST.</p>
<p>Mathmom, I heartily endorse your recommendation of Testament of Youth. And, for anyone who is interested, it was made into a truly superb 4-part series on British TV circa 1979. One of the most moving things I’ve ever seen on TV. It is available on video.</p>
<p>Branson was drugged by that obnoxious former suitor of Sybil’s. I’ve watched the entire season already, so I’m afraid of giving an inadvertent spoiler by commenting further. :)</p>
<p>mstee - When this thread was bumped to remind us of the upcoming ep1 of S3 airing on PBS I was a very naughty and anxious individual and I googled and found it online. :o I had posted this back in post #613, but vowed not to reveal any spoilers.</p>
<p>Consolation - you’re too kind. If I’d been in a theatre where that was happening, I would have immediately left the theatre and found an usher or someone to tell. That’s beyond rude. Yesterday when we went to see Zero Dark Thirty, the older woman sitting next to me kept muttering underneath her breath about events as they occurred (“Oh, yea, I remember…”) or after they occurred ("I didn’t know … about …).</p>
<p>Sometimes it’s hard enough to hear the dialogue with action going on, and especially if there are any foreign accents, much less if people around you are talking, too.</p>
<p>On that note, when watching DA, I probably have the volume up on the TV louder than any other program I watch.</p>
<p>You either live in the U.K., or are watching it illegally. However, season 3 DVD will be released at the end of this month, so when mine arrives in the mailbox, I’ll be able to watch the rest of season 3 at my own marathon rate and will have finished it way beyond those who watch it on PBS as it airs here.</p>
<p>Poor Edith. However, when she gushed that she wanted to make her DH to be her life’s work, I thought the puir ol’ bugger blanched a bit. I suppose he not only felt too old for her, but wondered if the girl might be a bit too…too…hrmmmm…what might be the right word? Forward? Firm? Directive? He being rather staid and set in his ways, she being young and ready to take the reigns and kick the ol’ hoss into action?</p>
<p>Notwithstanding the opinion of the PC World journalist, it sure read like Tunnelbear was illegal to me. I doubt anyone will be going to jail, but that doesn’t mean it’s legal.</p>
<p>teriwtt – we had the same experience watching Zero Dark Thirty – one man crinkling his plastic water bottle endlessly while the whole Navy Seal scene was happening. You can only hope these people get whisked away by black helicopters.</p>
<p>Sir Antony (or Anthony) does remind me of Ashley Wilkes, and I’m sure there will be a scene where Edith bumps into him in the village, and he tells her he was just trying to save her from a life of unhappiness.</p>
<p>I would send her to the States with Shirley MacLaine on some excuse. Fresh blood.</p>
<p>A friend told me she got her Season 3 during a PBS pledge week as thanks for a donation. Seems odd to me…</p>
<p>I’m not entirely certain that the old boy was interested in the whole marriage thing to begin with!
I wonder how Edith will respond to Matthew’s and Mary’s saving the day…and the manor!</p>
<p>I’m always late to this thread, because I’m on the west coast and spend all day Sunday avoiding it for fear of spoilers.</p>
<p>Anyway, I’m growing increasingly interested in the development of the Edith character. She started out the series as the jealous, bitter, and scheming plain sister, then changed first into the adventurous and competent truck driver and then into the compassionate nurse during the war. Now she is the jilted bride, apparently doomed to spinsterhood. A more interesting evolution than either Mary or Sybil has shown, IMO.</p>
