want to shut those assholes up in the movie theater?

Well you can't. But AMC theaters is trying. I went to a movie this afternoon and with the tickets they were handing out this pamplet. It described their new program where you can basically be a snitch for them.

How it works is they give you a beeper type of device and if someone is being distracting you push the button and it alerts an usher. They come to the theater and see if it is indeed a disturbance and then deal with it.

Now we all know this will never work, people will push the thing for stuff that isn't a disturbance, the "crying wolf" effect, or if there is a disturbance the usher won't be able to see or hear it. Nice that someone is trying something though.

I prefer blocking all cell signals or declaring mob rule inside all theaters. Or, like I did today when this asshole dad let his 2 year old play in the aisle during the whole movie and tap the railing with a coin constantly...hit him in the back of a head with a penny. Fucking assholes.
