Is It Time To Let Moviegoers Send Texts During A Film

<< < (3/4) > >>

madmax:
I usually tell people off if their phone is on during them movie. I also tell people to shut up.

I'm an asshole in theaters...but only to inconsiderate assholes.

jcalder8:
It doesn't bother me as long as I don't have to see the screen when they are doing it. I'm pretty sure I have texted once or twice but I try to hide the screen from anyone around me.

Proctologists will be very, very busy in the near future as they try to work throught the wave of incosiderate people that have a cell phone securely shoved where the sun doesn't shine.  8)

Alamo Drafthouse or Arclight?  I've heard wonderful things about both of those theaters.

I pretty much agree with everyone here.  Phones should be banned from theaters except for emergencies.  Even texting is annoying because of the distracting light moving around the bottom of your peripheral vision.

I don't understand why people have gotten so self-centered and rude in public; the movie theater is one of the greatest barometers of how much respect for others someone has.  I try to be as kind and courteous to other people as I can when I'm in public and it surprises me how many people act the opposite way.  Perfect example; my phone rang in a theater once and rather than answer it and talk, I was mortified and scrambled to silence the thing.

It's actually a Warren. They're fantastic theaters that are privately owned/operated.

Here's the site: http://www.warrentheatres.com/index.asp

Here's a pic of one of the larger theaters from the balcony:



The Moore theater has a really nice IMAX attached to it and private showing rooms/balcony areas which require you to be 21 or older to enter as each person sitting in one of those seats has a waiter assigned to bring you whatever you want (alcohol included).

The seats in the balconies are heated and made from memory foam. The seats below are still very nice. Everything is THX Certified, etc.

Here's a link to a description of the bar/balcony area: http://www.warrentheatres.com/moorebalcony.asp
