I sure hope nobody in any theatre from this point forward, has any emergency that requires calling 9-1-1, or any doctor that happens to be on-call during any emergency that comes into the hospital.
Quick, call 911, this man is having a heart attack!!!
Uhm.. wait, let me find my claim tag and run up front...
No no, the blue phone, with the white keypad. Not that one, the one over there! Oh wait, thats not mine, try that one over there! Damn, call the management, can SOMEONE call 911!?!
Phones during movies suck, especially when people are on them through the WHOLE movie, but banning EVERYONE from carrying a mobile phone is a bit ridiculous. Why punish EVERYONE for the bad deeds of a minority few who are trying to make copies of the movie?
If I purchased my ticket and had my phone or Palm confiscated at the door, you can bet I'd be turning right back around and getting a refund, and scratching that theatre off of my list of places to patronize with my money.
