Dennis! Here in Los Angeles we have the ArcLite Theaters, where movie going continues to be a very pleasant, civilized experience. Rules against chatting and text-messaging are strictly enforced and ushers (and managers) are very much on duty. Next time you are in LA do pay a visit to an ArcLit

Gary, I agree, but I would argue that it's one and the same thing. People see going to a movie now just as if they are watching it at home and feel free to talk, take phone calls, etc. Theaters stopped treating their customers as community members and guests -- and let's remember that ushers *did*
