For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.
@GMASMROfficial@elijahwood@alamodrafthouse Read the article. In February they are completely doing away with paper and pen ordering. This has been confirmed by internal emails to employees.
@Billy_Osteen@elijahwood@alamodrafthouse Nope, read the article. They're switching completely to phone ordering in February. No more paper and pen. It has been confirmed by emails to employees as well.
@babyboyru@elijahwood@alamodrafthouse Did you read the article? They're switching from that to ONLY mobile ordering in February. This has also been confirmed by emails to employees.
@_hannnahhb@elijahwood@alamodrafthouse Read the linked article. In February they're switching to ONLY phones even during the movie. No more pen and paper.
A move completely antithetical to the ethos of the Alamo and to those who love the theatrical experience they provide. This is a profound and upsetting mistake @alamodrafthouse
Sean Baker gives a speech about why movie theaters are better than streaming services and then Hulu goes down right before Best Picture is announced…case in point
One thing I irrationally detest is when tiktokers auto generate their subtitles and have numerous typos. It’s a laziness that is just widely accepted on that app. I’d be mad as hell if I let a typo get through in a video. But a whole platform has creators that just don’t care
IN DEFENSE OF THE BLU-RAY
a 🧵:
THINK: of your favorite film. The one that defines your essence, your very soul.
Now think again: where’s your personal copy?
