Theatre Experience Revival?

I ran across this article today, it describes a new endeavor by Regal Cinemas to improve it's theatre experience by giving audience members the ability to inform management of problems without leaving their seat. Supposedly the device is given to a "random member of the Regal Crown Club Loyalty Program who's attending each movie". Sounds like they finally have a perk worth joining their club... SIKE! I don't think it'll really help any. After all if I push "Other Disturbance", how do they know what that disturbance was, or who did it? Unless there are a row of punk kids in the front row hollering when they enter. I do however think it's at least a good thought, a step in the right direction. This has been a pet peeve of mine for sometime. Something has to be done to save the theatre experience from the horde of irresponsible, oblivious, and self centered movie goers. Until then I'll be seeing all my films at the classy Cinetopia.
