Patton Oswalt reenacts, with the assistance of director Jason Reitman, an actual phone message left on Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse voice mail by an irate customer who was kicked out of the theater for not following the no cell phone rule.
Earlier this year the Alamo Drafthouse launched a “Don’t Talk” PSA that went viral, generating (to date) close to 5 million views. The video was funny and it also contributed to an ongoing dialogue about talking & texting during movies.
It gained a few fans, including Patton Oswalt & Jason Reitman who decided to shoot a parody video of the famous “Angry Texter” while at the theater for a screening of Young Adult.
The dramatization of the voice mail isn’t nearly as putrid as the real thing. You be the judge.
