While I agree with not allowing anyone into a film once it has started, I doubt theaters would deny a ticket to anyone willing to fork over their money.

I agree with wanting silence, but don't think headphones would encourage it. In fact, I think just the opposite would happen. If you give people the option to wear headphones, then noisy people will be able to come back with, "Go get a pair of damn headphones if you don't like it!" and I, for one, don't want to listen to beautiful surround sound - designed to immerse me in a film - through a tiny pair of speakers planted right on the sides of my head. Don't give talkers an easy out.

Mad, Cineworld (UK) refuse to sell tickets once movie has started.

Each individual theater should be immune to cell reception. Make it so you can still receive text messages, but unable to make a call. I'm sure that's possible.

Also, free refills on all drinks, cause I tend to waste a lot of soda when I "accidentally" spill it on some prick that's talking right by me.

I agree with the sentiment, but some of these rules are stupid.

1) NOISE. Part of my viewing experience are the other members of the audience. I don't want headphones. In fact, I want people yelling at the screen "Don't go in there!," laughing together, screaming together, crying together. If you're noticing wrappers crinkling, it's almost always because the movie sucks. Notice how people stop coughing, moving around, normal seeming "uncontrollable" impulses are ceased when the viewer's are engaged. I find that fascinating.

We have the potential to watch all entertainment from within our bedrooms. Hell, the way technology is going -- there may come a time we never have to leave our bedrooms to do anything.

I WANT the communal experience of movies.

2) RATED R. I agree. The problem isn't studios. The problem are distributors. In the 80s I was seeing R-rated movies no problem as a 12 year old. Something happened in the 90s where they began cracking down on this practice. (Probably the advent of the PG-13 rating being a large contributing factor). This is a huge limiting factor which is responsible for making EVERY movie a PG-13 movie.

Think of movies like RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. It's rated PG. The end has some scary ass shit in it. Melting faces (and the datedness of the FX makes it even creepier imo).

Fine for children.

AIRPLANE -- full frontal nudity as a joke. PG. Today, that would be an automatic R.

The PG-13 rating should be abolished imo. In fact, the rating system should be abolished altogether -- or seriously overhauled.

i totally agree about the post conversion issue. Film it 3d or don't do it. Period. And only 3d what really needs to be. Filming a talking heads walking down the sidewalk in 3d is a waste of money. It does NADA for the scene.
As for the rest. One word for you. Arclight. What is it you say. Well it is a collection of 3 (perhaps now 4) higher class Pacific Theatres in LA. One is based at the Hollywood Cineramadome. Yes the tickets are higher priced but they don't do ads or that cheesy between films crap. They have an usher come in and greet everyone and straight up tell you to turn off your phone etc and not talk. They have assigned seats so no dealing with jackasses that won't move down one seat so you and your friend can sit together. And yes, ta da, they won't sell you a ticket less than 5 minutes before the show starts and won't let you in once the trailers are over. It is very much worth the extra money.
As for the noise front. I don't mind laughing, a few random but appropriate OMGs etc. It's the kids that you brought to a rated R movie when they should be at home (a 2 year old, seriously?), it's the play by plays etc that I mind.
