Dennis! Here in Los Angeles we have the ArcLite Theaters, where movie
going continues to be
a very pleasant, civilized experience. Rules against chatting and
text-messaging are strictly enforced
and ushers (and managers) are very much on duty. Next time you are in LA
do pay a visit to an
ArcLite!
Cheers!
Anthony
PS Admission to an ArcLite is not cheap...but well worth the cost in my
estimation.

Gary,
I agree, but I would argue that it's one and the same thing. People
see going to a movie now just as if they are watching it at home and
feel free to talk, take phone calls, etc. Theaters stopped treating
their customers as community members and guests -- and let's remember
that ushers /did/ have to stop unruly cinema-goers from day one but
there are no more ushers and very few managers who care about good
projection, sound and manners. Add to that a Hollywood not interested
in hiring the best writers and the best material and more interested
in commercial product that can be sold in one sentence. Better movies
make less restless audiences.
