I don’t mind texting – it’s silent after all – it’s the talking and playing Tetris that annoys me when I’m trying to watch a film. But no matter how often I tell my wife to stop, she keeps on doing it etc etc.
Enough antiquated gags. A cinema in Arlington, Texas is having teenagers escorted out by police for texting during movies, even when their phone’s on silent mode. “All we’re promoting is a distraction-free environment,” says the cinema’s general manager Nate Reid.
There are plenty of film buffs out there saying ‘HELL, YEAH!’ while reading this, but the cynic in me can’t help wondering whether the cinema has also banned the even-more-noisy and socially-irritating tubs of popcorn. Oh, hang on, they make lots of money from that…
