Also cinemas are really becoming hostile. I have to subject my bag to inspection. I also risk arrest every time I take phone out. They also ask me to leave my laptop at reception...

To be fair, I'd be calling for your arrest (under my breath) if you pulled your phone or laptop out during a movie...

Sometimes I need to check time on my phone. And I carry laptop from work, I never actually used in cinema.

Anyway 'movies from internet' just provide better services. And in most countries in Europe it is actually legal.

No you don't. You know the time when you go in and you know how long the movie is so you have a good idea of when it ends. Why does the time matter while you're watching it? Put the phone away and enjoy the movie.

So you prove my point :-)
