Is It Time To Let Moviegoers Send Texts During A Film

<< < (2/4) > >>

soera:
Although I agree, I still think people are so majorly phone obsessed lately, it wouldnt matter if it was a porn with Jessica Alba and Selena Gomez, some moron out there is going to be on the phone during it.

As far as the actual original topic, Fuck phones during movies. If you cant sit for 2 hours during a movie, you need to wait til the damned thing comes out for home viewing and get it then.

I'm avidly against phones interfering with any event that involves other people. Movies, dining, etc.

One of my big pet peeves is someone using their phone while out to dinner with a group, etc. The entire point of meeting for dinner is to spend time with one another. Texting during movies annoy me even more than texting while dining. Who cares if your phone is on silent, it's still a beacon of light in the middle of the theater. It's distracting to everyone else who paid to be there. If I had my way, you would get kicked out of a movie when an usher sees your phone screen lighting up.

I understand that there are emergencies and such that require immediate attention, but pending that, phones should be all but banned during movies.

I can't tell you when the last time I saw an usher in the theater during the movie... or during seating... or after.

darko:
Yeah, for the most part I haven't with the exception of the Warren in Moore, OK. I'm a little spoiled since one of the nicest theaters in the US is about 2 miles from my house.

don't you just live the line "banning cell phone use may make them feel a little handcuffed." and i would  like to ask how???
