Alamo Drafthouse: No cell phones



Alamo Drafthouse: Makes a fun of a pissed off customer
This is best ad for a theater ever. I love and would support a theater that had a strong stance on texting and cell phone use. I didn't pay money to see or hear you play on your cell phone.
The woman in the video above was in the Alamo Drafthouse texting with her phone, and the staff promptly kicked her out. Then, she left an angry telephone message to the theater. The theater then proceed to make a PSA out of the phone message, which will be shown in R-rated movies during the trailers. Brilliant, I'd say.
((According to Tim League, founder of the chain, "I don't think people realize that it is distracting," League told The Lookout. "It seems like nothing, but if you spend as much time as I do at the movies, you realize the entire theater sees it and it pulls you out of the movie experience. It's every bit as intrusive as talking." ))
I personally think there needs to be a harpoon guy standing in the theater ready to harpoon anyone that is disruptive.
While this is a very clever move on AD's part, but I think this woman will find a lawyer and attempt to sue them for making an ass of her.
