Blocking Cell Phones At Movie Theaters

Here’s a post at themovieblog.com about Blocking Cell Phones At Movie Theaters.

I’m all for it. Rudeness is definitely one reason I won’t be going to theatres as much. While at King Kong this past weekend we had a very unpleasant theatre experience. First of all the food was way too expensive. We paid almost 5 buck each for two pops! I just rolled my eyes and grumbled but I saw another guy literally screaming at the concession stand monkeys.

While in the movie we had to endure two older ladies beside us chattering away like hens pecking in a farmyard, commenting at the screen and laughing innappropriately at parts of the film they found not to their liking. Others were crumpling plastic bags and chatting away. No cellphones rang but, we’ve heard that before.

If there was a way to teach people manners and public movie watching etiquette at the theatre short of sticking my Doc Martin up their hind end I’d be all over it. Those little ads at the beginning don’t work. Theatre owners should have an usher inside the theatre firing the noise makers out. “Buh-bye!”

Until then we’ll be enjoying DVD’s months later on our brand new .
