Thanks for treating me like a customer

I love this.

After being ousted by the theater for texting during a movie, homegirl leaves a message for Alamo Theater management voicing her outrage. They in turn, take the opportunity to use her rant as their PSA to future texters in their theaters.



I for one, will be frequently Alamo Theaters from now on. Well, I would if I lived in Texas. You know, Texas--as in the Magnited States of America.

Oh--Em doesn't find this funny for some reason.

Texas is another world. Good Ol Boys with hats for brains and guns for...nevermind.

Btw, I never go to the theater anymore. My son sends me the links online. Not great quality but so much better than risking your life (Skokie isn't as safe as people think) or being annoyed (talk much, people? and what's with the popcorn??) at a theater.

She doesn't know it, but that gal just completed an IQ test.

I think Texas girl with the potty mouth should rent "Anger Management" from the Redbox and call it a day.

What a DUMB A$$!

Oh I just love this. I like the way she goes on and on. It's great. It was too DARK!!!

So much for American culture . . .

A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! That's AMAZING. I wish more places would do the same thing. I, being unable to keep my big mouth shut, got in a war with some teeniebopper about the same thing. Well, she was actually TALKING on her phone DURING the movie. Right in front of us. And it was ANNOYING. So I said something, and of course she felt the need to retaliate by putting nachos by our feet as if we wouldn't see that she'd done it. I.E. I'm not 3, I won't step in it by accident. If only the theatre would get rid of her.....sigh.

I cracked up at that, especially some of her pronunciations!

I think I love Alamo Theaters. I wish more places would do stuff like this. I'm sure that neither one of my kids would find the humor in this either. But then they have cell phones permanently attached to their hands.
I have a cell phone but I really do hate them

I love it! Not only did they kick her sorry ass out, they used her as an example instead of apologizing for it. (I have been guilty of texting during the credits but ALWAYS turn my shit off when the movie starts). Guess I might have gotten kicked out too, eek.

Helene--I don't like going to the movies either because of chicks like this. I'm glad that kicked her out. Would love to see that happen more often.

Vanilla--Scary, isn't it?

Jodi--Hahaha! I wish they'd kick more of her type out. I'd actually go to the movies again.

Diana--No kidding! Magnited States of America.... really?

Betty--She is just so DUMB! Frightening, isn't it?

Pricilla--Or she just spent more time texting in school than she did learning. Scary!

Chuck--Sigh. Yeah. I love how they turned that call into a warning for other patrons. Wish more theaters would do the same!

Nancy--I don't even go to the movies anymore because folks just can't behave. I love when they talk back to the movie. Ugh.

Violet--Isn't she an idiot??! I like how they wrote out her words too--made me laugh.

Ann--NO kidding! I just don't go to the movies because people act like they are living rooms. All that talking and texting. Ugh. I LOVE Alamo for doing this. My kids don't get it--they don't see the humor.

Casey--I love Alamo Drafthouse. I wish they did that here. Well, except the theaters would be empty...
