Another moviegoer at tonight's preview for "Safe House" asked her to turn off her phone. She didn't. I stewed for another five or 10 minutes and got out of my seat and leaned over and told her the light from her phone was distracting those of us behind her. My conversation was probably compounding the problem but the studio rep was on the other side of the theater and couldn't see what was happening and I've had it.

She turned it off but I missed one of the key characters in the movie being shot because I was scolding the stranger about her phone.

Don't make the rest of us, especially those who are WORKING,  be the villains here. Stadium seating is a wonderful thing but it means that everyone behind you can see your phone, even when you try to hide it. Turn it off and watch the movie or leave the theater. Or expect to be lectured or evicted.

Just imagine Denzel is sitting behind you. What would he think if you were checking messages instead of watching him?
