A New York City Councilman wants to pass a law to force people to turn off their cell phones while they're in a performance space, like a theater.
From the NY Post:
Council staff cited reports of movie star Laurence Fishburne's profanity-laced admonition of a patron whose phone went off during his performance in "The Lion in Winter" and a similar incident involving Kevin Spacey during his turn in "The Iceman Cometh."
Maybe it's just me, but the prospect of being bitch-slapped in front of an audience by Laurence Fishburne or Kevin Spacey is a whole lot more of a deterrence than the prospect of some fine.
