Does it annoy you when people pull out their cell phones in theaters?

I've got a liberal stance on cell phones myself, I mean, isn't the base reason for having a phone on you for emergencies or to communicate information? Myself, I think the "no-tolerance" stances on cell phones suck, there are things more important than a dead-silent movie experience (Especially since a good number of films you see in theters just aren't that good).
What annoys me more than phone use are those who outright snark at a movie's flaws in the theater as opposed to simply enjoying it's positives. I don't truly mind it on the small scale, poking fun at home or whatnot, but really you usually only see a film in theaters once, and purposefully ridiculing something many are just seeing for the first time can distort the effect a whole lot more than carrying on an unrelated conversation in the background.

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
