Before the movie starts, while the lights are still not dimmed, I don’t see what business it is of anybody if you are typing on a cell phone (hard to understand how texting would cause a noise problem, except if people were yelling at him to stop texting).
I read a book before movies, which also doesn’t make noise. Sometimes I play Sudoku on my PDA.
I turn off the phone when they make that announcement to silence your cell phones.
And I don’t care how obnoxious a person is, you never get to kill someone for making too much noise in a theater.
We don’t even know who threw the popcorn, it might have been another patron who just wanted the cop to sit down and shut up so they could enjoy the previews.
John Wesly Hardin was so mean, he once shot a man for snoring.
Over 100 years later, we hear that and chuckle.
100 years from now, it’ll be -once shot a man for texting in a theatre!
