Movie theater owners faced with falling attendance are considering asking federal authorities for permission to jam cell phone reception in an attempt to stop annoying conversations during films.

I think they’d have a better chance of increasing attendance if they’d stop trying to charge $9 to see a 90 minute film with 10 minutes of commercials while trying to sell $5 sodas. Imagine the fallout the first time some survivor of a fire / medical emergency whatever says to a reporter “I tried to call for help but my cellphone wouldn’t work! If only they’d gotten here a few minutes quicker!”
Yeh…I couldn’t care less about the guy on the cell phone…it’s the stupid *&^^%ers hooping and hollering and laughing..
Plus I would never go to see a movie just in principle. They may sue me one day just they sued many other customers.
the problems with the movies is mainly the prices! they are not competing there prices with dvd rental shops! in most cases its cheaper to go wait until its on dvd and watch it at your house! the only way they are gonna up the attendance at movie theatres is to make significant cuts in prices on not only tickets but candy popcorn and soda aswell.
Agreed to you all. The biggest reason I don’t go to the movies as much as they’d want me to is because they put out such crap. Remakes horrible stories and pure crap for me to shell out my hard earned money? Nope not me. It’s definitely not the guy talking on the phone (which when I have been to the movies I don’t recall that ever being an issue if it was I’d tell him/her to shut up)
whats the point if paying $9 for some crappy movie when it could be “previewd” using bittorrent -_- i usually get friend’s opinion before going to see a movie esp considering how mch it costs. lifting the ban on cell jammers would be pretty interesting tho since once ban goes off im sure churches schools and other places woudl want them too
