Yeah I am really sure you adjusted your phone's brightness on the fly. In fact, what cell phone do you have that allows that? Unless it's a PDA phone, I doubt it.

Bluntly said, you are all full of shit
A silent phone doesnt bother ANYONE, and you probably wont notice it unless you are looking for one
Like someone said already, people eating popcorns is A HELL OF A LOT MORE distracting, why dont they ban popcorns then? And what about people sneezing etc? Give me a break
Having said this, I never check my phone until the "commercial break", but I dont get bothered by anyone either, unless they answer a call, thats just dumb

I use email on BB for my job. I have to answer it the messages. If a cop told me something or the staff did. I'd gather my family and we would leave after they gave me a refund.
My phone vibrating and me typing a few words is nothing compared to normal theater distractions. People getting up and coming back. People spilling their m&m's. Slurping their drinks. Crunching their popcorn.
Now please keep in mind I am not writing a book on my BB... just answer a question or two.
However, if you were being louder than the normal distractions and were actually disturbing other movie watchers, that's a different story.

If you can't get away from work long enough to watch a movie with your family, then just don't go, stay at the office, and let them go.

Before the movie starts, you're told to turn off your phone. Not mute it, not set it to vibrate but to turn it off. If you're expecting an emergency phone call then maybe you shouldn't be going to a movie.
It's a text. Even if your phone went off during a movie, no one is going to confiscate your damn phone. If that was the policy, sure then I could see why the OP's phone was confiscated for texting. If people's phones can go off without consequences like these, I feel the OP should be allowed to text.
Maybe there's something wrong with the story here, but I don't see why everyone needs to jump on the OP. Wait an hour? What's wrong with replying for 30 seconds? If you're composing a damn book in the theater and the light is pissing people off, then stop. I could care less if the guy next to me was trying to text and trying to do so indiscreetly. I don't see why anyone would mind. If you're holding the damn phone up and it's annoying the guy behind you, then maybe that would be just reason to stop texting...
ATOT is obviously that crowd that doesn't care about using text messages... Just because you don't use it doesn't mean you jump on the OP.
i love text messages. i do maybe 10-20 a day.
BUT in a crowded movie theatre i don't. why? 1) i don't want to get kicked out, 2) i don't want to ruin anyones enjoyment of the movie.

How the hell does a sending a text message bother anyone. The sound of guy behind me stuffing his face with popcorn is more annoying to me than anything. Some of you people need to just mind your own business and worry about yourself.
If the light from a cell phone seen out of the corner of your eye bothers you that much, stay the fuck home. You obliviously have some serious issues...

dude the guy was like 70 years old with a hunch in his back, cant believe he was still wearing a badge. its yorktown, va small town theater. he was inside just standing behind me to the left, he seen it and must have thought he could truly earn his paycheck by doing the others the service of removing me and my cell phone from the show...

The officer coming down asking the OP to leave would have been more distracting than the OP just texting. That is unless there is more to it like the other folks have mentioned.
