  • I’ve experienced a group of people literally just talking and having a conversation for the entire movie. Like they spent money to talk when they could do it for free outside. But that’s common and a boring answer.

    My other more interesting answer is my one and only experience at an Alamo Drafthouse theater. I didn’t enjoy it not because there were unruly people, but it was the servers themselves who were distracting. For those unaware, Alamo prides itself for being strict with talkers and phone users, and you can call the attention of an usher to kick out someone not following the rules. In my actual experience, the audience was behaved. But the servers were noisily moving around the theater to the point it was distracting. Every couple of minutes I’d see a silhouette of a head moving across the screen, sometimes stopping in the middle to take someone’s order. I’d hear shuffling behind me and sometimes bumping my seat. Then the server working my section literally stood in front of me blocking my view just to ask if I had any last food orders. This was when places were just starting to open up after the pandemic, so I’m guessing these were a bunch of undertrained new hires, or people who weren’t paid enough to give a fuck. Either way, I’ve never been to an Alamo ever since.




  • Take the comment you replied to with a grain of salt. IOS and Android are not rolling release unless you use their beta versions, so the analogy is not correct. Ubuntu and its derivatives have slower release cycles in order to ensure they’re stable. But it doesn’t mean packages are “stale”. A rolling release distro will give you bleeding edge updates at the risk of something breaking once in a while. If you work on stuff like music production, you absolutely will be better off with a more stable distro.
