Invisible Cinema Ninjas!! Well, they’re not really ninjas, but just volunteers dressed in all-black Lycra suits called “Morphsuits”. They’re offered free tickets by the Prince Charles Cinema, in London, and have the task of keeping an eye out for any misconduct from moviegoers, during screenings. “The ‘Cinema Ninjas’ may sound absurd, but they have been a real success in clamping down on those ruining films for everyone else with inconsiderate behavior,” says Paul Vickery, head of public relations for the theater. “Like every cinema, we were irritated and upset by the minority of people running films for everyone else.”
The idea of all this is simply that whenever they hear a cell phone ringing, someone talking loudly or doing anything that might threaten to ruin the movie experience for anybody else, they go into action and remind the that person that he needs to act respectfully. Adbul Stagg, a visitor caught taking out a cell phone at the start of a movie, said that when he was suddenly confronted by two cinema ninjas, it was “pretty terrifying at first,” but eventually got a good laugh and realized he was being a distraction.
