Should you be allowed to use a phone in the cinema?

What do you think?
A proposal by a US cinema chain to let customers use their phones during some film screenings unleashed such a powerful blast of outrage that the company quickly reversed it. But is allowing texting in cinemas really such terrible idea?

The answer is a simple 'NO'
why would anyone want to pay to go to a cinema and stare down at their phone, it is so rude.

No is the answer, if you pay to watch a film, that is what you should be doing.

difficult to judge,
I need to be on call 24/7 in case of any family emergency so I put mine on silent and vibration on the occasional times I visit the cinema.
