Poll: Should Texting In Movie Theaters Be Allowed?


At CinemaCon in Las Vegas this past weekend, the assorted executives discussed how it might be beneficial to allow texting during the film because it would get more people in the seats who might have previously felt alienated. Especially young people who are so used to being plugged in and always accessible and who might feel actual anxiety at not being allowed to look at their phones for two hours.

-----------------------------

This all came about because the Sony CEO kicked said that twenty years ago, “kids would come every week,” but now “I’m concerned that the moviegoing experience isn’t just for baby boomers.” Seriously? An institution over 100 years old would bow to the latest generation simply because the latter has been given enough leniency to think they can get away with being rude? The act itself is self-involved: You’re completely disregarding the comfort of your fellow moviegoers who paid just as much as you to see this movie, in favor of something that is most likely a trivial and not pressing matter.
