It was maddening. Like you say, why are they even there?<br /><br />But this was nothing compared to this week, when a guy started chain smoking, listening to his headphones and chatting to his friends.

The theather is decorated with posters of classic cult movies. They don't show commercials, only clips from movies or funny videos that have similar themes of the movie you are about to watch.

If they're constantly going into the audience (and it would be constant) trying to stop people, that would be just as disruptive. <br /><br />It comes down to the individuals -- it's a free world, they're making the choice to go to the cinema. But why? Why pay to sit in a dark room and text people?

But I've never yet sat in a cinema and been aware of people around me texting (though once someone along the row was recording bits of the movie). Has this trend reached everywhere but New Zealand?
