People talking in movies---Part 3

Getting back to my point about people talking in movies.

Ritz 16 Voorhees, Saturday, April 18th.

Reasonably looking intelligent young couple, she wearing a Princeton athletic shirt of some kind, and what appears to be a Princeton baseball cap. Her boyfriend next to her.

Next to them what I would guess are her parents, with complementary '46' jackets (not sure of the significance of the number '46').

I guess they decided to sit in the back row of the Ritz in the belief that it's the 'talking' section--which is what the girl and her mother did for the entire movie (State of Play).

Several times during the movie, her father received either phone calls or text messages on his cell phone. Rather than disturb his wife with the accompanying bright light, he held the phone in the aisle so that it could shine in my wife's eyes.

Genius.

People really need to consider those around them.

Of course, the Ritz makes this big deal prior to showing previews that patrons should feel free to report anything that makes their movie experience less than ideal.

How about providing me a phone number that I can text during the movie to report the morons talking?
