Theaters Should Blame Bad Manners

Regarding “Movie Theaters Get Makeovers to Revive Sales,” March 5:
Movie theaters do not need makeovers to get patrons back. My main reason for not attending more movies is my fellow movie patron.
Moviegoers need to be reminded that they are not in their living rooms. And since they cannot seem to adhere to common courtesy, maybe the theaters can step in:
* Cellphone signals should be blocked in the theaters themselves. Any calls could be made and received in the lobby.
* Babes in arms and small children should not be allowed into “R”-rated films. One should be able to watch an adult-themed film without the interruption of children who cannot enjoy or understand it.
Just addressing these two items would go a long way toward making a visit to the movies a more enjoyable experience.
