If you went to a theatre show, a ballet performance, or opera, and used your mobile phone, crunched sweets and slurped fizzy pop, you'd be escorted from your seat, ejected from the show, and not be given a refund. A cinema is a public venue, and for too long, too many people treat cinemas as an extension of their own living rooms: a place to natter, consume sweets loudly, and slurp drinks, whilst trying to text or update their social media statuses! I and many others are fed-up of paying our hard-earned money to enjoy a film, only to have it ruined by people who clearly don't want to be in the cinema in the first place! As most cinema chains now refuse to have ushers in screens, it's unfair to other filmgoers to have to keep reporting miscreants who insist on ruining a film for others, via their anti-social behaviour. I believe that the Wittertainment Code Of Conduct (especially the video created by Dr Kermode and Simon Mayo) needs to be made mandatory at all cinemas who value their patrons business!
