I'm in a THEATER theater seeing a play and this dude next to me kept whipping his phone out to play with it towards the end of the first act.
I am now bitching about him on ILX at intermission.

Fucking with phones during a play is some bullshit.

Orlando. yeah if it was NYC I could just basically point and the ushers would show up.
I just glared at him and he got the hint and stopped manspreading.

Cool, i am familiar with but have not seen.I am hitting Fefu and Her Friends this upcoming week, which features an act during which different portions of the audience will leave their seats to stand extensively at different acts. I don’t know if its possible everyone will have the fortitude to avoid slipping a quick pic for the gram tbh.

When theaters are back after the Greater Depression, it’s going to be worse. Everyone will demand the ability to stop a screening so they can go pee or check Instagram.

Literally one of my last night's out in the before times was seeing a production of Fefu that was simplified to all the action happening in a big staging area with fixed seating for the audience.

I've been to a few movies since things reopened in MN. In one there were maybe two other people in the theater and one of them was talking on her phone for a few minutes in the middle of the movie, in another a couple talked and joked quietly several times during the film. On both occasions I got the sense that these people didn't think normal rules applied because there were so few people in the audience — despite having to actually follow a number of new rules (wearing masks, distancing, etc.).
