Tim League, CEO of Theater That Made Obnoxious Texting Woman PSA, Speaks

Tim League is the CEO/Founder of the Alamo Drafthouse. After their video incorporating the voicemail of an irate woman who'd been kicked out for texting (which the theater does not allow in any way, shape, or form) went viral, he released this video to explain the company's reaction to the reaction -- and how thinks that people who have been nasty and mean-spirited about the woman who left the message should also be kicked out of theaters and/or the Internet.

League really wants to shake the hand of the anonymous caller if she ever comes forward and, if she's learned her lesson, welcome her back. Alamo's PR rep Brandy Fons told us that they haven't heard a peep out of her, however. If anyone knows her, please get in touch!

Here's the PSA again.

Lynn and Pete raised him right!  It is SOOOO rude to talk, text, and rattle ice or candy wrappers, or anything that is distracting from the rest of the paying customers from enjoying the film and entertainment. If you want to talk, text or eat (and anyway annoy me) please take it outside. Thank you Tim!!!  Vicki B

That was great use of her email, and kudos to the Alamo Drafthouse for enforcing their rules. I hate going to the movies because of people like her, who think they can do anything anywhere.

a class act and an important message.  there is so much bullying in my present workplace and our co president is having a hard time dealing with it.  nice to see someone who is unafraid to set and enforce a courtesy code.
