AUSTIN, TEXAS: Movie Goer Gets Ousted For Texting...And Her Anger Gets Replayed...Every Showing.

GUARDIAN / with 1:47 angry voicemail audio

     Ah, good ole Austin.
     We take our cinema seriously here.
     Just try sitting through local Director Terrence Malick's latest movie "The Tree of Life".
     But the Austin-based Alamo Drafthouse Cinema chain has taken it up a notch.
     It recently ejected a customer...because she refused to stop texting...despite two warnings.
     Now to warn it audiences...the Alamo runs her angry, curse-encrusted recorded phone message...before every showing.
