Rule 7 does not apply when it is a kid-centric/targeted movie. Although still not a great idea to let them role around and play on the floor.

Actually it does. I am an artist who loves animated movies as a medium. One of my biggest problems is when I go to see a Pixar film and people see this as an excuse to let their children behave rudely in theaters just because it has an under pg-13 rating. In fact, I pretty much had the Lion King re release ruined for me by children who were much to young to be in a theater. Please understand that just because the marketing crew sees a movie as kid oriented, doesn't mean that there will not be adults or young adults that also want to enjoy it. Please have kids be courteous; there are only so many quality animated films released (my next will be "The Burrowers") so please do not let the kids run wild.

WHY DO YOU QUOTE FAIL ME ESCAPIST QOUTE BUTTON!!!????
They should post these at the ticket counter of every cinema in the country.
Also, having checked out the other three enraging articles, I have to admit that, so long as it remained faithful to the concepts and themes of the original novel, that a reboot of Starship Troopers would be awesome. Honestly, the novel is one of my favorite science-fiction stories ever and I can't see why it wouldn't make a great movie as is, but Paul Verhoeven turned it into an absolute travesty - really, I think there should also be a special level of hell for movie makers who rape to death good books. . .

I quit going to the the theater years ago for just these reasons. Instead I go to the drive-in! The Drive-In the savior to all misanthropes that still want to see movies on the big screen! And with better food at better prices.
3 bucks for a box of candy? Hell no, 3 bucks for a BURGER! With CHEESE!
Does it suck that I have to drive at least an hour to get to a town with a theater? Yeah. But I'll take it over loud teenagers, ringing cell phones, crying babies, and children who just WILL NOT SIT THE FUCK DOWN!!!!!! and their parents going "Anthony...sit down....anthony...anthony....sit down anthony....anthony....come sit down with mommy....come on...please come sit down with mommy....anthony...anthony..."
FUCK LADY! If he won't sit down MAKE HIM! If he still won't sit down GO HOME! That's what my mother would have done.

I think those rules involving children and babies should be elevated to #1. At least you can turn your phone off. Babies however, will never shut up unless you make them.
Eh... Talking goes without saying but unless someone's having a full conversation throughout the movie via texts or like you said updating facebook every 10 minutes I usually don't mind the light.
Any phone that goes off not on silent or vibrate (assuming the vibrate isn't like a goddamn earthquake. Some phones vibrate is a loud as the freaking ringing is in the first place...) is a no-no but I don't mind the "light pollution" so long as it's not consistently there.
Call me a jerk but I for one have never noticed people using phones and distracting me with only light and I have responded to a text during the show to say, "at a movie. Can't talk now." A section for people to text all throughout the movie? Lame, but one time isn't a throw em out reaction to me. That's a massive overreaction.

This, a thousand times, this.Screamarie said:
I used to go to the movies a lot, then cell phones became a thing, and going to movies just degenerated from that point on. However, we found a DRIVE-IN! Like you said, it was like finding a savior or something. Half the price per person, you can bring your own food or buy a hotdog for like a dollar, and even if the guy beside your car is annoying you you can control your own movies volume and can thus drown the man out. The kids still go running around screaming, but in the open air, it really doesn't matter, and has like no volume anymore. There are only three big downsides really, mosquitoes, the drive-in being closed in winter, and going on any holiday that might possibly involve fireworks.
Why we lost most of these wonderful things, I will never know.
I can't help but to think about this guy: (sorry, I couldn't find a better one)MovieBob said:
OT: I've been quite fortunate and lucky enough to not encounter any of these problems, although the nearest thing to experience something annoying was when I watched Fast and Furious 2 with my friends, when a wise guy tried to do a "clever" comment by literally yelling "Herp Derp". 2 seconds later, half of the theater were yelling and throwing popcorn at him, it was hilarious, better than the actual movie anyways.
Actually to be fair, during a movie I got a call (while my phone was on vibrate) that my dog had died and that I should go comfort my mother. I promptly up and left (and stopped bugging movie goers). So not an emergency per se but something significant enough to warrant getting the call.
Pffft. THIS is the only list you need!

I clicked on one of the links at the start, and found the following nugget in the article regarding the American Psycho reboot:
While I am a fan of bad puns and silly word plays, I want to punch the author of this article in the dick. Although I suspect that this has more to do with my anger at the fact that a perfectly fine movie is being subjected to a needless remake.
