"Apologies, gentlemen, but were embracing our girl power and saying 'No Guys Allowed' for one special night at the Alamo Ritz," the movie theatre wrote. "And when we say 'Women (and People Who Identify As Women) Only,' we mean it. Everyone working at this screening venue staff, projectionist, and culinary team will be female."
Some people did not respond well to the announcement and perceived exclusion.
"Alamo Drafthouse, will there be a male only screening for Thor: Ragnarok or a special screening for IT that's only for those who identify as clowns?" one Facebook commenter wrote.
"We might actually have to steal that clown idea," the Alamo Drafthouse account responded. "Thanks Ryan!"
In fact, it seems that whoever is running the Austin Alamo Drafthouse Facebook account has a snappy response for critics across the board. Here's a sampling of how the theater is responding:

So who are the snowflakes again? If you're freaking the fuck out over this - you *ARE* the very definition of a snowflake! Thanks for playing!
Oh and Alamo Drafthouse is owning these trolls hard. I love this chain!

They have some great retro clips in the previews, and do not tolerate cell phones during the movie!
