I’ve always thought there should be a theatre equivalent of a no fly list. Which - if you make noise or in any way disturb actors or people around you - you get put on the second after you’ve been flung outside onto the pavement

My working theory about people who do this, is they’re nearly all thick. They have no inner thought process, so someone has to be paying attention to them continually, ergo they refuse to sit quietly. And that’s why it’s usually futile trying to shut them up.

This is why we need surveillance cameras monitored by AI, constantly updating the No View List.

could handle privacy concerns too by only triggering the camera to point at people whose pre-performance behaviour clearly shows the likelihood of making noise. I have over many years realised that who will make noise in theatres and cinemas is depressingly predictable, and if I can predict it surely skynet could:)

(not that I've given this a lot of thought or anything)
