I went with yes it's rude, but not rude enough that I would say something to them. As long as it wasn't loud I wouldn't be that distracted. Having said that... what is the point of paying to see a movie if you nose is in a phone.
Poll: Do you think it's rude to text in movie theaters?

Just like anything else in a movie theatre, you should just zone it out and watch the movie. There are bright lights lining the stairs in most theatres, but people don't complain, they just ignore them and watch the movie.Kakulukia said:

Cheeseburgers, most definitely. In fact, seeing the word there made me hunger for one or two so bad that I am going to buy a few of them in say, 4 hours. (when the shops open o.0) Can't wait.
Does it disturb? Then yes. It doesn't? Then no. If its silent, and the movie is good, I see no reason why you would even notice it.

YES, turn your fucking phone off. The thing about being in the dark is that it allows for better immersion into the movie. When you catch a light in your periphery, it takes you out of the whole thing. You're at the movies... turn your phone off and catch up with the world later. Besides, you probably tweeted about it, so the world knows what you're doing, anyway. The only thing worse is when you leave your ringer on and actually have the balls to answer the call as opposed to silencing it. Don't look at me like I'M an asshole for hucking a wet gummy bear at your head.
...not YOU, but people. People who do that.

Yes. It is annoying no matter what. I payed good money to sit in a dark theater and be immersed, don't ruin it for me.
I went to the movies today, and they specifically said not to text during the movie right before the trailers started.
I doubt it would really bother me unless they were making too much noise through texting.

I do have an issue with texting, considering that you are doing something that is disrespectful to the surrounding audience having to deal with your inability to shut your phone off.
I do have a cell phone, and I do text, but texting is reserved when you have nothing else to do, and for me, I don't text during movies. Even though the theater in town does not enforce shutting off your cell phone, I turn my phone down to mute, and then I shut mine off. Even when the movie is Meet the Spartans, (and trust me, you don't want to know why I saw that one again) I shut my phone off. Why? Because as bad as it might have been, It would be disrespectful to somebody else who payed money to watch this movie thinking it might be good.

I usually text during the previews and maybe once or twice during the movie. Usually to reply to unexpected texts during the movie from people that were unaware I was in the movie, to say "I'm in a movie, text you later."
Doesn't happen often though.

this, as long as they do it maybe once or twice i don't mind, but if they are sitting the whole movie i might troll on em a bit, but if they sit there talking on the damn thing? (i've had people do this before, fucking annoying as shit) then you bet your ass i'm going to get in there face to get out of the theaterRadeonx said:
I'm a teenager, so I think my stance is obvious.
But I try to avoid using my phone when possible. I just feel like I'm being glared it whenever I pull it out in public.

It is against the establishments rules to text during the movie. Walking into an establishment and ignoring its rules is inherently disrespectful/rude.
Also its distracting.
