When I first starting dating my now wife, within a couple months we were in a theater and the first previews were running, her phone rings softly..OP!! she forgot to turn off her phone, woops...but then she answered it and began to talk.. my eyes bulged in shock, we received looks for those around us and I asked her quickly "what are you doing!"...she ended the conversation quickly and turned her phone to silent. I asked her later why she would answer her phone, and her answer "it was only previews" lol...so innocent, but that has now stopped as I explained how that was very rude. There is always something rude in a theater, always different when it's your lady!
My wife has the good fortune of being able to hyper focus, so any disturbances or rudeness in the theater go largely unnoticed by her, while I on the other hand seem to notice everything, and get distracted easily, so when a bright shiny phone is turned on to text 5+ times through the course of the movie, I do get agitated, but I live with it and adjust my sitting to block the light.
I kid with my wife all the time that we are going to use our formal room one day, get a nice 1080p projector, nice surround, some comfy seats and wait for the Blu-Ray to come out so we can watch movies in peace. Plus... 2 tickets + popcorn and a drink costs more then a Blu-Ray movie, so when we are done, we can sell the disc if it was so-so and have enjoyed a nice, uninterrupted high quality movie with popcorn and soda, for ~$10. ROI is a long long long time, but the peace and quiet is priceless.
