.Any discussion about the show during intermission must only be positive comments.
Yes! Hold your tongue, please, you're ruining it for others who ARE enjoying it. Happened to me just recently. Edward Albee is not "total crap". You're making me look like a fool by association. SHUT UP!

I wasn't trying to come off as a no it all. Furthermore, yes Cummings did do what he did during the BC/EFA speech. I was talking more about actors calling someone out in general.
And, you're right illegal is illegal plain and simple. I was however trying to say that different crimes have different punishments depending on how severe the crime in question is. If you murder someone that could be 25 to life. Bootlegging/taking photos of the set etc is just a simple fine. Point being is that most people would shrug off the whole bootlegging crime as a no big deal kinda thing sadly enough.
I was reading older threads on this topic. And I do very much agree with the notion that it's against the law to do and shouldn't be done. I've even told ushers
About it when I've seen to happen. I think that what gets me frustrated on the topic is that some posters felt/gave off the vibe that bootlegging is just as bad as murdering someone. It's bad, and illegal and should stop for sure. But it's not as bad as murder.
But the ongoing issue is to how to prevent this from happening. Cell phone signal blockers are against the law and theatres can't confiscated phones till the end of the show so there goes that idea. I hate that bootlegging is done but I feel that it's a problem with no real clear solution on how to fix it

"But it's not as bad as murder."
You and ONLY you were the person in the thread that mentioned murder. That was all you. No one else. You assuming we equate it with murder is deeply stupid.
Oh, and it's Alan CUMMING. He hates when people misspell his name.

Does anyone know if he still sells his cologne CUMMING? I bought a bottle when he was doing The Threepenny Opera. I saved the box all these years being he signed it. I really liked the cologne too.
Oh and Sutton thanks for being so considerate and sitting on the aisle

I have come to the realization that you don't actually read all that I write before coming up with a rebuttal. Not doing so, and admitting to that creates the impression that, at least to me, that which you have to say holds no water at all.

Aw honey, you cute. I read all of your asinine posts about murder. Several times. You get the vibe from posters that murder equals bootletting!
"I think that what gets me frustrated on the topic is that some posters felt/gave off the vibe that bootlegging is just as bad as murdering someone."
DUMB AS HELLLLLL
Oh, and it's still C U M M I N G. You not changing that in your post makes you look even more dumb, if that is all possible.

^^^^^^
SuttonRoss, do you have to be so patronizing? Your needless proclaiming of "DUMB AS HELLLLLL" isn't accomplishing anything, and your "sugarpants" and "honeys" make you sound pretentious as helllll. Also some posters prefer not to modify their posts even if there is something incorrect about them.
And let's not act as if illegality is the ultimate judge of right and wrong. There have been a great deal of things that were at various points perfectly legal that should never be done, and things that are routinely done today that were illegal.

No, I absolutely don't have to be patronizing. I was not patronizing with you, or anyone else I have addressed in this thread. Only Islander Fan. He chose to attack me, then say something so incredibly stupid, I honestly thought he was kidding. I will handle people accusing me and other posters of equating murder and bootlegging in my own way, as you can handle it your way.
Not modifying posts isn't a thing for me, it makes no sense, and when you are proved wrong, you should make the necessary changes. Especially when it comes to a person's name.

Please explain, because I'm dying to know this. How is anything you've said to me just as bad as things I've said to you. It seems that it's a fair tit for tat if you ask me. Furthermore, you coming off as patronizing doesn't really help your case. In fact, in all honesty it makes you come off as holier than thou. And at lest in my experience is something that no one really likes. And, even if I did attack you or whatnot it would be more becoming if you took the high road. Clearly you didn't

God, I saw that two weeks ago and he was only a foot from me. It was awesome! Alan C U M M I N G.
"even if I did attack you or whatnot it would be more becoming if you took the high road."
Thank you, 184 year old man. But, I'm not your 50's housewife, and I don't have to be "becoming" when someone attacks me for no reason. Please shut the f*ck up. And now, I'm done with you.

Christ are you pretentious. Are you that way in real life too? If so
I feel sorry for those that have the misfortune of having to put up with you on a daily basis. You sure that you're an adult because you debate at a second grade level. I'm sorry but I hope that you get a big helping of kindness as your holiday gift this season.

"Your take on the situation is by far one of the most idiotic things I've read in awhile."
You then call that user pretentious and unbecoming.
You are an idiot, as several people have already pointed out on this thread.

Posted: 12/8/14 at 6:21amAlso on another note, When I was at Lady Day someone's phone OBNOXIOUSLY went off in the middle of one of the breakdown scenes, and Audra yelled "WHAT THE F#*K IS THAT???" Never broke character. It was awesome. Love Audra.
