I voted no, of course. Good for them for kicking her out. I've seen people get into arguments at movie theaters over this -- not with theater management, but between the audience members themselves.

Absolutely never ever. Ive been at movies with one of these idiots in front of me, its like having a flashlight shining in my face. If the message is so important, like if you are a doctor on call, fine, look at the message and head for the lobby, thats what its there for. If you are not a doctor on call, then turn the damn thing off, civilization survived for forever until just a few years ago without the need to instantly communicate.
This topic pisses me off.

In my movie class, if the instructor sees someone doing that, he just confiscates the phone.

Hopefully he puts it in his desk drawer and they get it back at the end of the semester.

It pisses me off when people do that. It mostly kids or the twenty somethings that do this.
Glad they kick here out.
The last time that we where in NYC we seen the show Hair and there was a group of kids in front of us that keep texting. The Usher warned them twice the third time it was bye-bye.

Hopefully he puts it in his desk drawer and they get it back at the end of the semester. Something like that -- he takes the phone, walks out to the lobby and if the person really needs to check the messages on the phone that badly, they've got to do it in the lobby. Once they're done, they're allowed back in the theater. I've seen him argue with some of the students about this. Basically, the rule is if you're someone who really needs to check messages on your phone during the screening, you have to sit near the back of the theater so that the class isn't disrupted when you walk out to the lobby to check the messages on your phone. |

Given the price of a ticket for a Broadway show, it's unbelievable that anyone would waste that much time during the play on their phone doing *anything*. |

Of course texting during the movie is totally unacceptable.
