MY HEROES: alamo drafthouse's phone policy

 

"We do not tolerate people that talk or text in the theater. In fact, before every film, we have several warnings on screen to prevent such happenings. Occasionally, someone doesn't follow the rules, and we do, in fact, kick their asses out of our theater. This video is an actual voicemail from a woman that was kicked out of one of our Austin theaters. Thanks, anonymous woman, for being awesome.

ITALY: love it or leave it (gustav hofer, luca ragazzi, 2011)

Interesting fact:

"Italy produces proportionally fewer graduates than its European peers, and yet surveys indicate its exodus ratio is significantly higher. Few reliable statistics exist, although Confimprese Italia, a business association, estimates that 120,000 young Italians went abroad in 2008-09, of whom 70 per cent were graduates. Since then the economic backdrop has worsened. Nearly one in three 15- to 24-year-olds are jobless, the highest rate for at least seven years" (Guy Dimmore, The Financial Times, Jan 12 2012)
