The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin Texas used a voicemail from a customer who was mad about being kicked out over texting to make an advertisement. Christy Lemire (AP critic and host of Ebert Presents at the Movies, check your local PBS listings), Matt Atchity (editor-in-chief of Rottentomatoes.com) and Ben Mankiewicz (host of Turner Classic Movies) discuss.

  • My favorite part is how she says that she was only using the phone as a flashlight, then, about one sentence later, admits she was texting.

  • I wish more theaters would kick people out for texting and using their phones. It's so distracting.

    Uh Oh ! "enttlement " , the e word you must be a goddamned republcan .

  • I love being a US American in USA Magnited States! Even though I don't have a map, I do have a cell phone, which I use both to text and locate a seat in a movie theater. Because they're hard to find.

  • I love this video and I love that ad. I'm just going to say it. I think anyone who talks or texts during a movie is an asshole. If you want to be on your phone so bad, go home, believe me, you won't be missed. There is no excuse. I just went to the movies to watch the Lion King in 3D (which was beyond awesome) and this selfish b**ch in front of me nearly ruined the experience because she was constantly texting throughout the film. People are just assholes.

  • the alamo drafthouse IS the only place i go to the movies. its legit.

  • Fuck, this is the greatest ad ever! I want to go to this theater!

  • Either you're a moron or an asshole...take your pick! Exactly!! Narcisism and Entitlement issues with most of the people out there right now.

    They don't care about other people, they only care about themselves. I don't go to the movies that often anymore because of that. Why should I have to get pissed off at somebody who is distracting me from watching a movie? Why can't the idiots get a clue?

    That's how I feel about all of this.

  • @YouJussGotCurbed Larry David is funny. Funny haha, not funny 'the other way', not that there's anything wrong with that.
