Okay, quick warning: If you’re from Vermont, this post might upset your sensitive, crunchy gronola soul. So, I’m warning you now so you don’t have to waste your time getting all offended, spitting up your maple syrup all over your framed, autographed picture of Howard Dean, and leaving angry comments about the death penalty and Jerry Jones.
Anyway, I may have mentioned here that the American public is in desperate need of education when it comes to proper movie-going etiquette. Whether its people texting and talking during the movie (which, by the way, starts the minute the first trailer starts to play out on-screen), bringing their annoying, shrill-voiced little children to movies that clearly are not appropriate for them, hanging their smelly, ugly feet over the seat (and audience member) in front of them, or showing up late for a movie and loudly going, “Where do you want to sit?”, the American public seriously needs to learn how to go to the movies.
And, on the basis of this PSA, the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas is exactly where those lessons need to be taught.
Amen!

The Alamo Drafthouse is an awesome theater. They have been making some very funny PSA that run before the film begins with directors, actors and the like doing the PSA. I pretty much like the R. Lee Ermey one. I think I heard Lars Von Trier even did a PSA for the A.Drafthouse.

It is an awesome video. Been wanting to go to the Alamo Draft House for a while. I can not stand people who are loud, or just downright rude during a film. When I saw ‘The Tree of Life’ someone behind me had a plastic bag with food inside it and kept reaching in. I had to turn around and tell them to take the food out of the bag or don’t eat it…it ended up being some old woman and she did indeed stop. I hate how people think they have the right to do what ever they wish, completely forgetting everyone around them also bought tickets and deserve to watch with so many annoyances.

Oh my God, I hate that — the people that come in the theater with their bug tubs or bags of popcorn and then, they sit there and spend the whole movie either shaking the tub or the bag and you’re just like, “It’s not like more popcorn is going to magically appear if you shake the damn thing.”

Haha, I loved the Alamo Drafthouse so much when I was living in San Antonio.
