Funny video, but terrible fucking PR. They should be ashamed of themselves for posting that.

I think it's hilarious.

Really, you didn't know you weren't supposed to text in a theater? And you were using it as a flashlight, but you don't know why you aren't allowed to text? Yeah... sure.

And just because it's on silent, folks, doesn't mean it isn't bothering people. Shine a bright light in a dark room and it's pretty damn obvious and particularly disruptive.

On their website it states their rules about cellphones.

http://drafthouse.com/about

We have zero tolerance for talking or cell phone use of any kind during movies, and we aren't afraid to kick anyone rude enough to start texting their friends during a show right out of the theater. We also hate it when other movie theaters make you watch advertisements after you've already paid to see the movie, so we're vigilant about never letting ads hit our screens - we've even turned down PSAs for great causes because we don't want ANYTHING to disrupt your experience of the show. Instead of ads or mind-numbing content named after the number of minutes you have to sit through it if you get to the theater early, we create custom preshows with content themed to most of the features we program

I think she is being made an example of how not to handle a situation. If it was closer I would frequent the establishment in support.:thumbup

You don't set an example by putting someone who spent money in your establishment on blast infront of the entire WWW. Sure, that girl is a dumbass. No argument here. However, they should probably prepare for litigation, when she sues them for defamation of character, and using the recording without her consent. :dunno

I checked out some of the other videos from thier site and I would have to say that I now change my views. I like the one where the old lady throws the guy out. Too funny. Or the one with all the awards. Where the guy pisses himself had me rolling.

Yes if it was closer I would see you at the movies buddy!

As someone who has sat quietly in a doctor's office for two hours while some loudmouthed talked continuously on a cellphone even though there were signs stating to turn them off in the waiting room. I applaud them for making her look like the ass she obviously is. I have wanted to remove a person or a phone from a situation before. Good for them. If she can't hande herself better maybe she will learn something from this, probably not based on her call. NVM.

This is not an argument between you and I, Fred. I agree that she is a dumb ass and deserved to be removed from the theater. However from a business perspective that was a poor way to handle the situation. That's all.
