not even joking, at a NETFLIX PREMIERE screening for Office Romance, several people on their phones either editing photos, texting, emailing for more than half the movie. ON FULL BRIGHTNESS!!!! STOP OR THEY’RE GOING TO POUCH OUR PHONES.
Someone had their phone out at a press screening of EVERYTIME at Cannes about two people down from me and after the fifth time they pulled out a phone (they had a smartphone and a flip phone!!), I leaned over Robert and the other guy and said “arrête!” in the sternest French accent I could muster and they stopped for the remainder of the film.
THANK YOUUUU for this thoughtful piece and for saying what we’re all thinking and experiencing. And this: “The rules are indeed set, but the enforcing at the moment seems to be up to the other patrons who are also there to watch a movie, not play kindergarten teacher.” WAKE IT UP!!!
OK no at the Regal I went to growing up about 15-20 mins into the movie there would ALWAYS be an usher who came in with a bright orange wand like a traffic cop
taking your phone out at an ADVANCE screening too 😭
like I'm sorry but who raised them 😭
No one is my guess
Bring back the ushers and the flashlights!
Ushers make the world go round we need to be repeating this
