The reason they turn the lights off in theatres is so that people can focus all their attention on the movie and not have any distractions.
If I were dating someone who insisted on playing with a phone during a movie, that, without question, would be our last date.
I love my Blackberry as much as anyone. But if someone can't have basic common courtesy for others, they ought to seek professional help. Playing with your phone in a darkened theater while others are watching a movie is terrible manners. Answering a call is just criminal. Turn the phones off when you are in movie theaters. If you can't put your life on hold for 90 minutes, you probably are too important to be seeing a movie and should just stay at your office all night. | You're right on target! I think you alliterated your point very well. There are times when we need to see things from the other person's perspective. I love my BB too, but there are times when using it can be inappropriate unless extenuating circumstances are involved.
