and the most reminders to turn off cell phones, probably
Do you heed their warnings?
I don't take my cellphone into theaters at all. I have this horrible fear that I'll sit on it, or something, in just the right way to push the power button, and it'll turn in without my knowing it and someone will call me at the most silently dramatic moment of the film.
That happened during the first screening of LotR I saw. During one of the more sad and quiet scenes towards the end, a cellphone went off. Luckily, the owner just turned the thing off rather than talk.
I dunno what it is about theaters around here. People at the downtown theaters and in the art-house cinemas are generally well-behaved, but the closer to the 'burbs you get, the worse people are. I remember one movie I went to where about a dozen kids kept talking through the whole movie, even after the usher told them to be quiet. Why they weren't thrown out, I don't know; the theater lost more revenue in free passes that day than 12 audience members were worth.
