The phone OFF is common curiosity. My pastor has stopped preaching and said “hey, we’ll wait till you are done (name’s name). Normally, it happens once and once only.
The movie thing, I don’t get. There are many good one liners in R rated movies. However, I can conceded some discretion should be used when quoting.
Back to the phone, I take notes on my note pad on my phone and then email it to my lap top to save for later, I am very careful especially is its in a dark room to sit in back, AND turn the sound off so people can’t hear the typing.
Where I go, I would guess half the people take notes on their IPads and Iphones. My daughter has a great program on her IPad, half the page is scripture and the other notes, so she can take notes right at the scripture the preacher is talking about. Somehow the notes are blending to fit between the versus referenced. (Totally has nothing to do with this, I just think its cool).

My pastor usually quips “Hey, if that is God, ask him how He likes the sermon!”.
We also have slide sign that asks people to turn their phones off because leaving them on is ‘cell’...’fish’...ness.
