To be fair, the sort of moron who tweets/texts/calls a mate during a movie is exactly the sort who'll scoff at any reminders put up before the movie.

Ushers in the theatre would be the way to go but with the behaviour of our underclass, how long would it be before we were reading about a stabbing in the evening papers were the cinemas to attempt to clamp down on this? Scumbags don't fear the police, they're not about to pay any heed to a spotty teenager or a student doing a part-time job.

If the ushers were to look like this, maybe there would be a little order.

Went to Cineworld yesterday evening. I've got an unlimited card but I offered to pay my gf's way. €11.30

I was floored. There I was handing over a tenner and expecting some sort of change back but instead I'm being asked to rummage in my pockets for an extra €1.30.

For me, nothing beats the cinema experience but at that cost I can see why people would pirate to be honest.

On a side note, 3D... Right, I'm blind in my right eye and therefore 3D doesn't work at all for me so I'll always opt for 2D because what's the point in paying extra for something that doesn't work for you?

I've noticed over the last month or two that 2D screenings of certain films I want to see are all pre 8pm slots. Why?? I either have to wait until the weekend to see it or rush myself silly to see it after work. Saddens me that 3D is taking over the prime time slots in most cinemas these days.
