It might just be my experience but it seems like people have forgotten how to behave in movie theatres over the past half decade or so. Theres definitely been more people talking, phone noises, and generally rude behavior coming from audiences. Theres a couple people I refuse to go see movies with because they do shit like this. Its like the effect of everyone staying inside for a couple months and then getting covid anyways kinda fucked up some peoples ability to conform to social norms.

Also, from the article...

Travers then countered that Scorsese, 82, likely behaved in a similar way when he was younger. “‘Come on, Marty,’ I said, ‘we couldn’t keep our mouths shut when we were kids.’” Travers added: “His [Scorsese’s] eyes darkened. ‘Yeah, maybe,’ he conceded, ‘but when we talked it was always about the movie and the fun we had chewing over the details.’”

Scorsese is totally lying out of his ass in that last bit lmao.

I believe the lockdowns, the collective trauma of having mass death happen around you and everyone acting like it's normal, and long covid, have made large amounts of people forget how to behave in public at all. Or at least care about anyone other than themselves. It used to be that people treating service or retail workers horribly was rare enough to become a meme, now it's business as usual. Same with public transportation and other shared spaces where everyone seems to just be their worst possible selves, or completely self-absorbed.

Nah, Scorsese has always been crazy about movies so it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s telling the truth here. This is the guy who imagined and storyboarded a Roman epic when he was 11 so him pointing out aspects in flims that he loved with his friends isn’t outside the realm of possibility.
