Theater owners confused about lower attendance

They don't understand why people don't go to the movies as much, anymore. They think that if they can get permission to block cellphone signals that they'll stop conversations in theaters during movies. Actually, while that step would be welcome by me, I don't really notice that many people are spurred to talk on the cell phones during movies. Over the last 5 years I've really only seen one person try to actually talk on the phone during a movie. But then, I don't go to the movies much. What I see a lot more of is rude ass people who just fucking talk to the person sitting next to them like they're in their goddamn living. Instead of repealing the laws and regulations against blocking cell phones, theater owners should lobby to pass a law that allows you to assault people who talk during movies. That way, I could just get up and punch the fuck out of some lowlife loudmouth without having to worry about being arrested.
