I think texting in theatres makes people more distracted from the movie... like seriously don't pay $15 to go watch a movie and text they should do that at home... thats why when i go to movie theatres i go to ones where its not so full so i see less phones.. ^.^
This drives me insane! I cannot stand people who are so inconsiderate to others. sad

I think that any kind of cell phone use in theaters is rude. The light from the phone is distracting to other viewers. And anyway, are people really that much of a slave to their cell phones that they have to text when they're out at the movies? Really? Keep texting out of theaters. People could use some time away from their precious cell phones.
So many people text/look at their phones constantly in the theater I go to. They are so distracting. I don't understand the point at all. Why do they buy a movie ticket to begin with if there concentration is going to be on the phone most of the time?

So, What if iAm a movie critic? I have all the right to text while in film.

Also, If texting isn't allowed then talking should be banned as well. Noise/annoyance generated by talking > texting
I don't understand this whole texting phenomenon people doing it at movies and concerts like wtf? that makes no sense people are so stupid
