This is already a little better. You should let Limpy take over for a while.

Again, are you anti-textites also distracted by people eating popcorn or drinking soda?

Actually, yes. I'd prefer to watch the movie in something close to silence. It's not a big deal, but people chomping on popcorn, slurping soda, and loudly unwrapping whatever packaged stuff they're eating always makes me wish I was watching this in my basement instead of in a theater.

That's what I thought.If this is what you people feel like, you really don't need to be in public. Because other people aren't statues. Sometimes they have to actually move, or God forbid, make a noise.

The movie theater makes money selling popcorn and soda, so they would never make a policy that you can't eat and drink while watching the movie. Even though it's distracting, people who go to the movies have to be willing to accept that annoyance.

Your cell phone use is banned by pretty much every movie theater's policy. It's not popcorn. It's not soda. It's your cell phone.

Unfortunately people like you ignore the policy because the last thing a teenaged kid making minimum wage wants to do while working is police people for cell phone use. So despite the cell phone ban policy, self entitled testing bastards like you have made attending movies far more annoying than what popcorn eating and soda drinking noise produces. Thanks a lot, Skippy!

When did I ever say I text during movies? I have only texted a couple times during previews. It is always very quick & in my lap. Never done it during the movie.I am too afraid of me crazy psychos out there with guns that think texting is a crime.

I still don't get why you guys find it to be such a problem.

In the very rare instance that I go see a movie in the theater, I paid $7 to watch the film, not your cell. Just put the damn thing away for a couple of hours or step outside if it's urgent.

But how do you even see it? Are you staring at all of the people during the movie? I just find the whole premise odd.

When I go to a theater, the only thing that I notice is people talking. Silently punching a lightly glowing phone doesn't even register to my senses while the movie is playing unless, the scene was very dark and even then I'm straining to see the next bit of light from the screen.

How do you notice people talking with giant speakers blaring the movie?

C-

Typical fishing with a jackhammer here, I'd like to see a more nuanced approach in 2014

why I may be guilty of trying to inflame things a little bit I do think the texting is not the problem some are making it out to be.

Because I don't have the ability to focus my ears like I do with my eyes.

You've argued that it's not distracting, or that people shouldn't find it distracting. People do. You're not going to convince people who find it distracting that it's not distracting or that they shouldn't find it distracting. Your perspective is not the same as theirs. I'm glad you don't find it distracting. I wish I didn't either. But I do. So do many others. And it's banned by the theater's policy. So we're not the one's in the wrong by having the expectation that people don't do it.

It's a mild but wholly unnecessary distraction

You might want to get that tunnel vision checked out. Could be a sign of glaucoma or worse

You may want to get your sore vag checked out. It could be a sign of a yeast infection or worse.

I don't have a ######.

Doesn't bother me as long as it's on silent.

Count me as one though that would faithfully patronize an Alamo Draft House styled theater. I'd pay more for the cinematic experience to be better.

what's that

Before movie starts, no problem.

After movie starts, minor problem. I won't shoot you, but you are being inconsiderate.

Along the lines of KEN-WINS.
