I understand the rules about the cell phones being turned off or turned down completely for no sound while a movie was shown. That's the rule.

If all volumes on the phone were completely silent: speaker volume, texting volume, regular line volume, ETC... then there shouldn't've been any problems where someone can send text messages through a cell phone unless, it would be messing with the sound through the screen of the movie than that's different.

She can fight that. I wouldn't be surprised if she wins that situation.

1) the theater made a public anouncement to shut them off!
2)she obviously made no effort to get up and walk ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE HALL to make her call
3)when asked to stop it and follow the rules of the theater she blatently refused.
Just another example of the (I'm entitled attitude)
I have no doubt in my mind that when she was asked to follow the theater rules she was the one who got mouthy and beligerant. Just because she has the phone it's her right to use it to distub everyone else. Why is it that she could not have just gotten up and said "Oh I'm sorry I'll step out in the hall" No It's you be dissin me and I got the right to do what ever I want"
Since the advent of cell phones we have seen an ever growing use of them by people who think they have the right to just (disturb the paece) (a criminal offence) The whole attitude of I've got one so I have the right to inflict my boreing life on everyone around me. rarely will you find a group so inconsiderate as the cell phone users in this country. By and large if you take the time to listen to these people when they are on their phones, annoying everyone in the area, you can tell they have the feeling that they are the most important person on the planet. Well just not so!!
I would just like to know, why it is that people think that just because they have one handy they are excused from the common curtesy of getting up and excusing themselves to take the phone and go some place private to have their inane conversations. It's quite one thing to be reached for an emergency, and another to just inflict stupid chatt

Well all movie theaters run different. Some movie theaters have people in the theater rooms to make sure cell phones aren't used like at AMC Mayfair. That's all I know of. Possibly anywhere else I don't think so, but people know regardless to turn their volume to silent or basically in this case OFF.

I'm with you wfb, I am so sick and tired of the "me" attitude that people have.
If you cannot sit for 2 hours and watch a movie go into the hallway.

Belia, I am tired of the rules do not apply to me people. Rules are made for a reason and should not be broken - even if you don't agree with them.

In this case, it was "I was only returning a message about my 5 year old daughter". Well fine, do it in the hall. WHAT is the big deal to walk out into the hall and respect the rule of the facility and the people around you?

that is unfair and the ticket is bogus. great job on the positng of this blog.

Has anyone experienced an idiot talking on his/her phone during a movie? i have and it sux, I didn't do the right thing and tell the employees. I actually stood up and asked the teenager if he minded. I haven't set foot in Mayfair since. I haven't been to Mayfair mall since 2004. I know they have new rules, but I don't want to deal with the immature element.

DOUBLE-TECHNICAL FOUL FROM BOTH PEOPLE

If I am walking through the woods or grocery shopping I don't need to be bothered by a phone call.

Does anyone know that this is how the current movies are pirated? You just record the movie on your cell phone and then make as many copies as you want from your computer. Most pirated movies sell for $5 or $10 each.
