So when people text, they put their phone in your face?
So, are you twelve or just that self-absorbed? Why are you paying good money to watch a movie, if all you're going to do is text during the movie? It's rude. The light is distracting in a darkened theater. Why is that so hard for you to appreciate?
First off, it's my money, my time, and my phone. You are not entitled to an explanation of how I am managing the three. And I don't agree that the light from other phones is really that distracting....to me. As for what bothers other people, that list is endless. Now if the theater has a policy against texting....fine. Post it for all to see. It's their business and they can forbid the use of cell phones if they wish. Just make it clear up front.
