  Good. We’re way too okay with filming everything and everything for the hope of a few more followers. This is someone’s art that they charge for, filming it either spoils it for the next person (reducing the artists due income), or convinces them not to go. It’s not “viral marketing”, they can do their own marketing.

  Should fucking ban the things at live performances. Everyone would be better off.

    They are banned at theatrical performances. People just ignore it and if an usher doesn’t spot it and intervene, most performers just ignore it too.

      some venues and shows will actually make people put their phones in those bags at the door. Just like my kids elementary school.

    There should be a machine that makes phones explode or melt if they are on.

  Not sure if “mildly infuriating” because so many people are in their phones it required a rule, or because OP wants to record Care Blanchett performing live.
