Like most, I've never heard of anyone signing an NDA to see any kind of entertainment.
When I used to get to see the odd preview movie screening via work, they would occasionally take our phones from us for the screening, or get us to sign something to say that we'd basically not make public comment on the film until a certain date (which I think continues to be fairly standard practice). But that's a work environment, and so is broadly acceptable. I suspect they make you do similar if you're invited to a test screening. In a consumer environment, where I'm paying, this is ridiculous. I wouldn't buy a ticket if I couldn't say what I wanted. I've no problem with clamping down on cellphone use, using either those pouches, stern warnings or whatever. But signing a [potentially] legally enforceable document to get in a venue? No thanks. In fact I'd be much more inclined to widely share whatever took place as a consequence. And it's never a good look suing your own fans. On Mon, Oct 14, 2019 at 1:40 PM PGage <[email protected]> wrote: > I saw Chris Rock a year or so ago in Oakland.
