I am pretty cool with theater behavior, so long as the following rules are followed:
1. I can still hear the movie over you. That means I don’t give a shit if you’re talking, as long as it’s not louder than the movie. Brandon once sat in front of people whispering the entire time, but held off on saying anything. When the lights came back up, the guy behind him was blind, and someone was narrating the visual parts of the movie to him. I don’t need that kind of guilt riding me.
2. I can still see the movie. That means text all you want, but if your screen flares in my eyes, this is what I do – you get one chance to do it, because I don’t know maybe you’re doing a really important text to somebody at 1 am. After your one strike, I get to start reading your screen out loud, because as far as I can tell you’re showing it to me.
Come on, people
