There is so much that could be done to make cinema etiquette more inclusive. Ask people to mute & lower the brightness instead of not check mobile phones at all. Have an intermission for movies over 2 hours. Etc.
@syntaxseed i have a friend who will start passively aggressively bitching just loud enough for the people who were pissing him off to hear in the theatre. which means he is being a louder disruption than they were. candy wrappers trigger him too. its pretty embarrassing.
i would rather we change nothing about the expected etiquette and instead have the theatre re-hire the guy whose job it is to deal with problem people like the people who triggered my friend, and my friend.
@bobmagicii I'm ok with the "chill viewing" timeslots that relax the rules & raise the lights a bit.
@syntaxseed my main complaint is the writer of that article couldn't understand there is a difference between events, like rocky horror picture show, where you expect the audience to be loud. they think there should only be one ruleset which is insane. the default should stay.
