Brandon Vezmar, the 37-year-old Austin resident suing his date for texting during a movie, caught the eye of Tim League, CEO of Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas. While Vezmar's alleged "first date from hell" did not occur at a Drafthouse location, League offered a means of settling the lawsuit. However, he remains "conflicted" over the situation.

"On one hand, I am concerned about our courts being clogged with superfluous lawsuits, but as Vezmar states, ‘this is a threat to a civilized society,'" League said in a statement, quoting Vezmar's suit.

Regardless, League offered this solution for ending Vezmar's suit: "In order to save the time of the courts, the Alamo is willing [to] help put this to bed and hereby offers Vezmar a gift certificate in the amount of $17.31 for his next cinema outing." <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Falamodrafthouse%2Fposts%2F10154844878333051&width=500" width="500" height="671" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="" allowfullscreen="" resize="0" replace_attributes="1" name=""></iframe>ïÎ¶ko={nökw:sŽç®íýyÙæÚ×nÞoÞ

Vezmar is suing his date for the mentioned amount, the price of a ticket to the 3D screening of Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 he attended at the Barton Creek Square theater.
