Yes, yes they do. And in stadium seating, it really doesn't matter what at what angle they are sitting in relation to you... you can pretty much see a bright blue screen from any seat behind the offending person. That's probably what happened in the situation Gilda described, and it happens all the time when I go to the movies here in NYC. I don't care if somebody wants to read a text message instead of getting their $10.25's worth of the movie. They just need to turn to the side and shield the light so that it reflects only into their seat and at their face. It's not hard to do.
