I was watching an episode of Criminal Minds from my aisle seat, and a character was being tortured in the scene. Bra and panties only, tied to a box spring (no fabric) that was leaning up against the wall, so she was basically standing up. At the time, I wondered if anyone behind me got freaked out. I sure didn't expect that scene to appear...

Keep your fucking eyes to yourself, I'll watch what I want.

For an area that is occupied by adults yes, but on a crowded plane with kids around, no. How do you train a 5 year old not to look at a screen? if I was flying with a young child and someone was watching Peter north's "North pole" and my kid saw some of that I would be mightily pissed off at that person..

Yoy'd be annoyed at someone else for privately watching a movie because your little asshole child can't keep its shitty eyes to itself? Once again you have proven that parents of young children are self-centered pricks.

I can't say I've ever accidentally watched someone else's screen on a plane - particularly a laptop or iPad screen which is lower and more private than the in-seat screen. It would take an act of deliberate nosey-ness to watch someone else's screen. If your little shit-head children can't stay in their seats and mind their own business it's no one else's problem but yours.

Should have put on The Sinful Dwarf instead to really confuse them.

I've watched Penn & Teller Bullshit and The Room on a train. Both contain nudity. All you've gotta do is grab a window seat and adjust angle it away from anybody being nosy. Obviously use common sense. Wouldn't want to watch Backdoor Sluts 9 in public.

I don't have a 5 year old but a plane is a confined space, there's not much "privately" about it, I can see making sure your kid doesn't make him/her self a pain to other passengers but to expect a kid not to glance at a glowing screen is kinda dumb, maybe you could just wait till the plane ride's over, is 2-3 hours without watching blowjobs gonna inconvenience you that much?..

Please place your children in the overhead lockers for the duration of the flight.

I don't recall anything too bad in Zack & Miri Make a Porno to think that someone couldn't watch it on a plane.

HAHA, I thought about this when the wife and I were watching "Black Swan" on the way to Vegas a few weeks ago...at some points i was like hMMmm whoever is watching hope they enjoys lol

I would be pissed!

... if you didn't put the part with Mila and Natalie on repeat... for awhile.

I remember years ago someone posting a movie clip here of a scene with the Kumar guy watching a dirty movie on a dvd or laptop on an airplane. He was watching it next to some old lady. I cant remember what movie it was from though.

Example: This dude about 2 rows from the back was watching Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Seriously??? Are there rules about watching certain movies in public? Would you sit there and watch a movie like this on an airplane out in public with families and kids around?

when i flew out to vegas i watched cop out and book of eli on the in flight system. how is this any different?

also, i can't believe i'm agreeing with two of the biggest trolls on the forums, but the kids should keep to themselves, not be looking over my shoulder. keep them in their damn seats. i certainly keep mine in theirs.

Meh I wouldn't watch porn but if a movie had nudity in it I wouldn't care. They have R rated moves on the in flight entertainment list sometimes. Not really a big deal.

In a public location discretion helps make society a better place to live. Watch whatever you want in private but being forced to sit next to someone watching highly offensive material doesn't help us all get along.

I had to take a three-hour bus ride once with some of my coworkers. The bus was equipped with a DVD player and TVs mounted every few rows. One lady stood up and asked if everyone would be ok watching "Knocked Up". I raised my hand and asked for something less raunchy. She stared at me for a few seconds, popped the video in, and made everyone watch the film. It made for a very uncomfortable ride as you had no choice but to listen since the bus had speakers rather than headphone jacks like airplanes.

I'm sure some of you will say "Boo! What a wuss! Prude!". I really don't care. The point is that we all need to have respect for each other in order to make this world a nice place to live. Questionable movies in a setting where others can't just leave doesn't help that end.

I agree with keeping kids in line but can you really expect 100% compliance from a 5 year old? they got to pee sometimes too and nobody should be watching porn on a plane so a kid might peer over and see it, I can't believe that 3 hours without watching naked people is gonna be so invasive..

Rated R movie with nudity/sex != porn

The World English dictionary would disagree with you.

1. writings, pictures, films, etc, designed to stimulate sexual excitement

They are on different levels but neither would be the best thing to view in a public setting like an airplane.
