AMC reverses decision.
This is why we blog about these things. Enough of us complaining and shining light on this stupidity will shape the course of society.
Texting will not be permitted in movie theaters any time soon it seems, much the chagrin of millennial audiences.
AMC Entertainment’s new CEO Adam Aron released a statement one day after declaring the chain would allow texting saying that the company had gone back on their decision after a very public outcry from customers.
The statement was tweeted out to the movie chain’s 300,000 followers with the message; ‘NO TEXTING AT AMC. Won’t happen. You spoke. We listened. Quickly, that idea has been sent to the cutting room floor.’
Have they fired whatever douche in marketing came up with that idea?
3Twin, it was the same guy who thought of the new Coke formula…
It looks like there is more than one side to the social justice warrior story. Every now and then the goods guys win one.
Another liberal idea shot to shit once it’s forced out into the open.
Still won’t go to the cinema.
Hollyweird can Eat Shit and Die.

Really? Like loud talking to your friends and commentary directed at the screen?
Good luck with that. The certain element mentioned yesterday could give a fuck.
I guess it is just too much for the millennial-tard generation to sit still for a couple of hours.
Compared to the big flat screen home TV’s approaching 60-80 inches, and the availability of Netflix, HULU, etc, the theater experience has little to offer.
Add in the undisciplined use of cell phones, the chattering among the people who always sit behind me, and I’d find it more enjoyable to have a prostate exam or dental surgery.
