Patton Oswalt Just Wanted to Text a Friend How Great He Is in Young Adult


In this excellent PSA for the Alamo Drafthouse, Jason Reitman kicks Patton Oswalt out of a theater for texting during the movie. "There's no need for you!" It's followed by an incredible reading of a customer voicemail that uncovers the massive scam perpetrated by the theater to rip people off by …kicking them out of movies when they're breaking the rules! This would NEVER happen in a reglear theater. Because that isn't a word.

    disappointing movie. story doesn't really work, suspect casting

  • Nick S

    Alamo Drafthouses are the most magical places on earth. Every movie theater should aspire to be an Alamo Drafthouse. #1 thing I miss most about Texas.

    If you haven't heard the original voicemail, it's hard to appreciate how much Patton fucking nailed it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L3eeC2lJZs

      @Nick S Yeah, all respect to Patton but the original is hard to top.
