Uh, How About Better Movies?
A big topic among movie theater owners at the ShoWest conference in Las Vegas last week was how to get people back into the theaters. The president of the National Association of Theater Owners says they’re going to ask the FCC for permission to jam cell phone reception, which is currently illegal in the U.S., so people can’t use their cell phones during a movie. That will definitely make it more enjoyable to pay more for the tickets than the babysitter costs, buy huge tubs of the cheapest snack product known to mankind at a 920% markup, have your feet stick to the floor, sit through a half hour of commercials and coming attractions, and listen to people talking throughout the whole movie.
