Movies and TV Should Theaters Collect Cell Phones From Customers Before Movies Begin - Page 6

I've had this thought for awhile, and reading how they had everyone give up their phones before they went in to see an advanced screening of Prometheus got me thinking about it some more. I understand how having a phone is handy and convienient, especially if someone is trying to reach you in case of an emergency, but there are frankly just too many people that just don't giv e adman if they are being a distraction by talking or texting during a movie.

What say you?

Saying that, if you're in an empty theater, then text/talk away, I guess. But why pay 15-ish bucks to sit in a theater and do domething you can do at home for free?

You're right.
Worrying about what some strange guy does with his phone or the money he used for the price of admission is much more mature.

I'd rather just watch a movie at home in my underwear with my giant beer and vat of chicken fat.
