While I love to eat during a movie, and the Drafthouse offering fries is quite often too good to pass up, the element of their model that I find unconscionable is the in-theater waiter service, as they have to individually speak to each customer towards the end of the movie to settle the bill. Like, if that’s your business model, it is what it is, but especially in the context of them presenting the movie theater as some holy sanctuary where no disruptions will be tolerated…what’s the deal?
Oh hai! Battleship Pretension satellite contributor and certified LA Film Festival employee Matt Warren here. If anyone would like to watch a video series I did featuring interviews with the filmmakers behind the ‘LA Muse’ section of LA Film Fest, you can see those here:
Featuring Girl Flu, No Light and No Land Anywhere, Sensitivity Training, Actors of Sound, Manchild: The Schea Cotton Story, and (soon!) Namour. Check ’em out!
