Every article about this sort of thing should have smart ads
that lead to "theater quality TVs at home" because DANG, that's
the perfect marriage of content and advertising.

You know what would make that video be more interesting and
entertaining? Text from random other people all over it,
distracting me while I was trying to watch it (actually i didn't
even watch it because we already talked about this)

[glow=red,2,300]AMC CEO Says Company Is Mulling Over
Text-Friendly Movie Theaters[/glow]
[quote] It was once the cardinal sin of movie theater lovers --
texting during a film.
Movie previews creatively reminded and suggested and pretty much
ordered folks to turn off their cell phones before a film
begins, but are text-friendly movie theaters on the way?
AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron said the movie theater chain is
set to test it out to appeal to millennials.
"When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don’t ruin
the movie, they hear please cut off your left arm above the
elbow. You can’t tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cellphone.
That’s not how they live their life," he told Variety.
Instead of a text-friendly section in a movie theater, Aron
suggests that AMC will take "specific auditoriums and make them
more texting friendly."
If you're upset with even the thought of a cell phone's blue
light disrupting your movie-watching experience, don't fret.
Aron, 61, said he's keeping traditional movie-watching in mind.
"At the same time, though, we’re going to have to figure out a
way to do it that doesn’t disturb today’s audiences," he said.
"There’s a reason there are ads up there saying turn off your
phone, because today’s moviegoer doesn’t want somebody sitting
next to them texting or having their phone on."
Aron echoed the same sentiment, and seemed to quell backlash
against his concept of new text-friendly movie theaters, on
Twitter.
"Press reported we['re] considering a test allowing texts in
a VERY FEW screens. We know vast majority of audience wants no
texting," he said today. "IF ever, we ONLY would pursue in a way
we'd be TOTALLY confident ALL our guests will fully enjoy movie
going experience at AMC."
In a statement today to ABC News, AMC explained that movie
lovers shouldn't expect any changes in the near future, saying
"there is no specific timeframe as to when we might introduce
such a test, if ever."
"We would only introduce a concept like this when we are totally
confident that we can fully satisfy the desires of our current
guests," the statement added. [/quote]

Well, that was quick... and smart.
[glow=red,2,300]Sorry millennials: AMC drops idea to allow
texting in some movie theaters[/glow]
[quote]Moviegoers have spoken and AMC's proposal to open
texting-friendly theaters "has been sent to the cutting room
floor," the company said Friday.
Adam Aron, the new CEO of the movie theater chain, had
mobile-addicted millennials in mind when he mentioned the idea
in an interview with Variety published Wednesday.
But now cinema lovers will have to continue to pocket their
phones during the two-hour movie experience.
"In the age of social media, we get feedback from you almost
instantaneously and as such, we are constantly listening," Aron
wrote in Friday's statement. "Accordingly, just as
instantaneously, this is an idea that we have relegated to the
cutting room floor."
Aron had previously told Variety that when a 22-year-old is told
to turn off the phone, they hear "please cut off your left arm
above the elbow."
However, it appears that mobile addicts will have to make due in
the theater. Aron insisted that AMC will have other ideas "to
delight and entertain you."
"We'll continue to be as creative as we can to elevate the AMC
experience, doing so in partnership with you, our guests, and
never in a way that will compromise your love of coming out to
the movies," Aron said.[/quote]

good gawd, this shows you how this 'texting' has become an
addiction... How else do you explain people having the need to
address their little rectangular box to function in life?

Orlando shooter texted wife during attack, source says [/glow]
The Orlando shooter and his wife exchanged text messages
HTML http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/16/us/orlando-shooter-omar-mateen/<br
/>during the Pulse nightclub rampage, a law enforcement official
briefed on the investigation told CNN.
Around 4 a.m. on June 12, about two hours after he started the
attack and while holed up in a bathroom, Omar Mateen texted his
wife, Noor Salman, asking if she'd seen the news, the official
said.
At one point, she responded with a text saying that she loved
him. Salman also tried calling her husband several times during
the standoff, a second law enforcement official said.
The timing of her calls came after reports of the attack had
emerged, and apparently after she realized her husband might be
responsible. He didn't answer, the official said.
It's not clear if Salman made any attempt to report her husband
during that time.

I'm really stumped why everyone in the news media is exonerating
the wife based on these texts as proof she had nothing to do
with premeditation of the massacre. I'm of the mindset that they
agreed beforehand that he would send her texts in the middle of
the shooting to give her an "alibi" as long as she played her
part and acted clueless as to what he was doing. Seriously, he
calls everyone else, but leaves text messages only for her? You
see how suspect that is. With texts, she doesn't have to
"act",which is risky if she doesn't sell it the right way if
there is a phone call that they can analyze after the fact. So
yeah, I'm calling bullsh*t on this alibi.
