Cell phones are the least of the theatre problems. There's the Talking Idiots--those who come to the movies just to talk all the way through it. The only way to stop that would be having those attendants with the flashlights, and that's not gonna happen.

It's not all the leftwing politics, the porn or the stupid plots and remakes--it's also the lousy movie experience that is going to drive theatres out of business. The worn-out projectors (I though my view of Harry Potter was film noir, it was so shadowed and darkened--but it wasn't style, it was the projector).

But, most of all, it's the rude audience . I'm going to see Narnia--I hope it won't get wrecked...

Good luck. I went to a matinee opening day. More young kids than adults. Maybe a later showing would be better. Anyway, pretty good movie. Enjoy.

Perhaps the projector lamp as well. :)

That is so true!

People have become so programmed to watching TV in their living rooms and discussing what is on the tube that they have now transferred that behavior to the public theatre where they now discuss what is going on in the movie with their friends to the annoyance of other PAYING customers.
