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.
