What happen to knowing how to behave in a theater....

I went to the movies a few days ago and it was the first time in a couple of months that I had. I have noticed and the opinion for this past week on Sunday morning that I enjoy watching also pointed this out that people have forgotten how to behave in movie theaters. I went to see the mortal instruments: city of bones; which is a movie that I had been curious about and had not read the book on and so it was film that was going to require me to pay attention to catch pertinent plot points. This was made next to impossible as even though I had gone to the last showing in an outlying area theater, I might as well have been downtown or at the other big theater mega plex at midday. The people in theater felt that they needed to keep up a running commentary throughout the film. I spent more time being aware of what the people around me we're saying instead of the actors on screen. The opinion given was of a similar vain, why do people feel that they need to be on their phones, and texting and discussing other things at volume that although low is still just loud enough to keep other people distracted? I almost did what the guy who gave the opinion had done: stand up in the theater, turn around to the people behind me and scream at them "SHUT UP!", but then I remember what he said I would have been the exact same thing, another interruption that wouldn't have been right. Theater operators comment that torrent sites like kickass and pisexy are taking away their profits with films and keeping people from going to the theater, but I have to say that that isn't true. It's not the theater rates, or the other "extras" that are keeping patrons away, it's the other theater goers. It's more entertaining to be able to sit in your own home watching a film that would have cost you and your family nearly a full days wages to see in theater without 75-80 other people talking through it than to pay that and not be able to enjoy the film. I would rather stay home watching a ripped copy of a film, than pay almost $35 and not be able to enjoy the film that cost me half a tank of gas. If theaters don't want to keep loosing patrons, then they need to take a page out of the book that Alamo theaters did and physically eject people who don't abide by the rules. Watch the Sunday morning opinion section for this past Sunday and you will see what I mean it is worth the viewing. Just another tidbit from the mom cop.
