Remember the Alamo Drafthouse! It has been taken.

Too bad Ozzy isn't alive to piss on them

They were warned not to screen The Northman.

To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World-

Fellow Citizens & compatriots-

I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Basketball Americans - The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the moviegoers are to be slammed to the curb, if the theater is taken - I have answered the demand with a popcorn shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat.

Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch - The enemy is receiving reinforcements & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days.

If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a concessions employee who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his theater - Victory or Death

Was it “shocking” though?
Was it?

I've never been to one (SA, DFW, HOU) that puts concessions in the lobby like that, except for the bar. The one in Houston just turned into Flix Brewhouse, but I knew it was over long ago.

Yeah I’ve never seen an a Alamo with concessions like that. I went to the new Flix in Katy. It was fine. Menu seemed more basic.

We just need funding and reparations

It doesn't justify the behavior, but there seems to be the practice of recycling videos by posting them as if they are current.

You might be right, yet I only post stuff I have not seen or posted before. Maybe you can sort through hundereds of millions of these videos and give us a "first added to internet" date. That would be sweet.

Slight hijack. It never ceases to amaze me Travis was only 26 years old when he wrote that letter. He was just a kid and had more balls than many men in history twice his age

For decades, the "not talk no text" trailer was followed by a, "you'll get kicked out without a refund." Hundreds of movies it's been the same. For Bad Boyz 4 Life (I was bored, it was a matinee,) it mysteriously changed to if you misbehave, we'll stop selling you alcohol. No threat of being booted.

Theaters are a dying breed due to the shitty writing coming out of Hollywood for the last decade (social justice lecturing and casting rather than good story and merit) as well as more options for streaming, while also increasing costs for the movies (which theaters have to pass on through higher food/snacks/beverages).
