Mark your calendar: greatness arrives May 2

I'm not sure how many of you folks were fortunate enough to check out SON OF RAMBOW during Fantastic Fest 2007, but I can tell you as one of the lucky ones that this is going to be one of my personal favorite releases of 2008. Boldly going out on screen on the first weekend of summer blockbuster season , SON OF RAMBOW is brilliant counter-programming. One of the best coming-of-age comedies I've ever seen.

Here's the storyline:
"A nostalgic trip back to the 1980s, Son of Rambow is an inventive valentine to an era where, for the first time in history, young minds had access to technology that allowed them to create their own stories while paying homage to their larger-than-life heroes from the movies that inspired them. Will, who isn't allowed to watch TV or go to the movies, expresses himself through his drawings and illustrations until he finds himself caught up in the extraordinary world of Lee Carter, the school terror and crafter of bizarre home movies. Carter exposes Will to a pirated copy of the first Rambo film, First Blood, which blows his mind wide open." -Sundance Film Festival

Trust me folks, it's as good as it sounds (if that sounds good to you). They just released the trailer online yesterday, so I felt it my duty as a fellow fanboy to alert you to it's presence. Those of you who follow my advice and watch the trailer now will be breaking out the red crayon to circle May 2 on your calendar as "the big day." IronMan also comes out on May 2, so circle it twice.

Fat Tuesday - the Mardi Gras Masquerade Sing-Along!

I used to be both scared of and slightly disappointed by Mardi Gras on Sixth Street. In New Orleans it's scary, sure, but it's soooooo debauched and crazy that it doesn't matter. Pee in an alley? Sure thing! Get hit by a cop's billy club while climbing into a tree for some beads? Every single day! But Austin's party in year's past has been more of a letdown, and mostly filled with just trying to walk down Sixth Street to get to the Jackalope but constantly getting stuck behind some large group of guys that are really, really excited because one of their girlfriend's has decided to show them all her boobs.

Now, don't get me wrong - I love boobies. I'm not trying to be the well-behaved guy or anything silly like that. The trouble is, I also love drinking, and because Austin so far has not legalized street side hurricane vendors, I need to get inside one of the bars to get my Jameson on. When there are huge crowds of rejected Real World contestants getting all excited over something they can see on their TV in one of hundreds of Girls Gone Wild commercials, I just get mad. And so in years past, I would avoid Sixth Street on Fat Tuesday, preferring to instead... do ANYTHING AT ALL.

But this year, that's all changed. Because this year we have a theater on Sixth Street, and that theater has balconies (just like the Big Easy!), and I just happen to have the perfect collection of sexy pop videos ready to go in a brand new Mix Tape Sing-Along. Even better? Now I have an excuse to get myself one of those fancy feather masks I've always wanted! Because who hasn't wished we lived in a simpler time, when there were masquerade balls at the palace every weekend and beads raining from the sky every Tuesday? Check out the trailer:



We'll have free beads for everyone, whether you choose to go wild or just want to hide out from the crazies out on the street. We'll give you $2 off your admission if you wear a masquerade mask. We'll have you primed and ready to hit the street in style after the show, or we'll give you the perfect party and let you sneak out the back alley exit and completely avoid the madness.

Grab your tickets here, and Owen and I will show you our boobies at the show.

NSFW: New Spike & Mike 2008 Vid

We've been loving the rave responses to the Sick & Twisted trailer featuring nothing but a cinnamon bun being beat down by a giant penis from the sky, but looking at the show earlier this afternoon, we realized that there's a lot more to this year's show than just that one penis. There are also PLENTY of cumshots, and lots of violence, and gleeful pissing, and penguins with guns, and superhero ejaculate, and... well, we figured it would just be best to cut a quickie sneak preview of a lot more of the cartoons.

With that in mind, here's Spike & Mike 2008 in 40 seconds:




Ready to see the whole thing? Grab your tickets here, and we'll see you this weekend at the Ritz.

Latest Rambo wins death per minute race!

Hot of the presses folks: the latest installment of the Rambo Franchise finishes first in nearly all mayhem and destruction categories (except for # of bad guys killed by Rambo with his shirt off). Three cheers to Lionsgate for nearly doubling the total death count from Rambo III, which in turn, doubled the death count from Rambo: First Blood Part 2. Suffice it to say, if you need a little carnage in your cinema diet this weekend, turn first to the soldier with a heart of gold: John Rambo. Complete stats below:

Hey Kid, Wanna use a freaking FLAMETHROWER? See RAMBO at the Alamo Village!

Tonight through Saturday night at the Alamo Village, each midnight show will be followed by a flamethrower demonstration, in which lucky audience members who have the guts will take out suspected terrorist baby dolls with a high-velocity baby-killing device. If you think we're kidding: keep thinking and STAY OUT OF OUR WAY.



Oh, and the movie: killtastic in every way. An orgy of violence. Goes great with beer.

Tickets on sale here. Be there or be a Communist Nazi Terrorist!

It's a Feast. It's a Benefit. It's the GROUNDHOG DAY BENE-FEAST!

Next Wednesday, January 30th at the Alamo South Lamar, celebrate over-sized agoraphobic rodents and the prospect of an early Spring with one of the greatest comedies of all time and a scrumptious five course feast served up by Alamo super-chef John Bullington!

And the icing on top of it all is that proceeds from the show will help support the Austin Family Institute!

Eat, drink, laugh...and help out Austin families all at the same time!

You won't be served the same dish over and over again...but you're close. Each of the five courses will be created using the same five ingredients- Pork, Squash, Basil, Rice and Cheese.

Sound boring? Far from it! Look what Chef John has come up with…

I

Rice flour ravioli stuffed with basil-pork sausage and pumpkin in a cave-aged gruyere sauce

II

Suppli- a fried nugget of Parmesan risotto swimming in butternut squash soup with prosciutto and basil oil

III

Spaghetti squash marinated in basil resting on a sushi cake topped braised pork and manchego

IV

Burgundy-honey glazed pork tenderloin with gorgonzola and wild rice alongside basil smoked grey hubbard squash

V (dessert)

Acorn squash-mascarpone cheesecake in a puffed basmati crust topped with chocolate covered bacon and candied basil


Also included will be the perfect wine pairing for each course- all from the same region and vintage! WOWIE-ZOWIE!

Bill Murray pulls off one of the greatest comedic performances of all time in this film. John Bullington has created one of the most mouth-watering menus of all time for this film. Put the two together, help out a few Austin families in the meantime, and you've got one incredible evening.

(Note: We are aware that January 30th is not Groundhog Day. We just didn't want that little marmot to come out, see its shadow and rain on our parade.)

Rambo is coming and we're burning babies to celebrate!

Last night at the Alamo Village there was a special sneak screening of RAMBO, in which Sly Stallone resuscitates the character, now living in Thailand as a venomous snake collector, until some missionaries get kidnapped by impossibly villainous thugs. Then it's time to kill a lot of people. And nobody does it better.

As violent as the previous three Rambo movies were, this one takes the violence-cake. In fact, it kinda sets a new high water mark in chunky explosions, juicy bullet impacts and burning flesh. It's pretty amazing. It's definitely conceived as a thrill ride, not a message picture, but that's fine. I get enough messages on my phone. I want to watch bad guys explode like blood-filled meat pinatas. I'll go read a book if I want to think about how violence is bad for the soul.

So definitely go see the movie, opening this weekend at Village. And in the meantime, enjoy this video of irresponsible people using an irresponsible flame-spewing weapon at some irresponsible theater somewhere after a special sneak screening of RAMBO:

The Texas Monthly reveals that the Alamo Drafthouse will shape our future!

An uncommonly prestigious honor has been bestowed upon Alamo founders Tim and Karrie League.



In the upcoming February issue of Texas Monthly, the Leagues are listed among Texas luminaries in an article titled "35 People Who Will Shape Our Future"!

Yep, 11 years of running our theaters has resulted in their being placed between revolutionary architects and life-saving AIDS research scientists. Wheeee-ow! Congratulations on your enduring global impact!

Read the article/interview HERE!

And the nominees are...

I don't know about you folks, but I for one got up at the crack of 10 AM this morning like a kid on Christmas morning. Today marks the kickoff of Oscar season with the unveiling of the 2007 Academy Award Nominees.

Nominated for best picture were ATONEMENT, JUNO, MICHAEL CLAYTON, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and THERE WILL BE BLOOD. JUNO, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and THERE WILL BE BLOOD are currently playing at the Alamo Drafthouse. If you haven't seen the virtuoso THERE WILL BE BLOOD, you simply must. If for no other reason than to check out Daniel Day Lewis's jaw-dropping performance as oil pioneer Daniel Plainview. Vegas currently has him pegged as a 7 to 5 favorite, and that's the leanest odds on the slate.

A surprise addition to the best picture nominees was the Alamo Drafthouse favorite JUNO, which also nabbed a best actress nominations for dark horse 20-year-old Ellen Page, and received nods for best original screenplay for exploitation enthusiast Diablo Cody and best director for Jason Reitman.

Check out the complete list of Oscar nominees here.

We are also throwing our 11th annual Alamo Academy Awards parties at each of the three Alamo locations (Village, Lamar and the Ritz); South Lamar's shindig features an Oscar feast with one dish for each of the best picture canditates and all of the parties feature embarassing clips from the secret back catalog of the nominees, prizes, competitions, sing-alongs and a champagne toast.

These parties are a blast you will not want to miss. All of the parties sell out every year, so order your tickets before it's too late!

Daniel Day Lewis is insane!


So apparently Daniel Day-Lewis is completely bughouse. If that's what it takes to get the job done (and he really gets the job done in THERE WILL BE BLOOD, now playing at the Alamo Ritz) I wish bitchy newspaper feature writers would just get over it.

Still it was odd to hear it on Friday night at a packed screening from actor Russell Harvard that Day-Lewis would urinate whenever and wherever he felt like it on the set. Was that a way of getting into the mindset of the fiercely territorial Daniel Plainview? Don't know. Don't care. It's a performance of amazing power.

We often say go and see it on the big screen because the sets or scenery are particularly magnificent. In this case you have to see it on the big screen so you can appreciate the nuances of the great central performance. Stunning.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD subtitled for the deaf and hearing impaired with star Russell Harvard (H.W. Plainview) live!

The Alamo Ritz Theater is proud to announce a special subtitled run of Paul Thomas Anderson’s critically acclaimed THERE WILL BE BLOOD with star Russell Harvard live in the theater!

In the film, Harvard (seen left opposite Paul Dano) plays the older H.W. Plainview, the son of oil tycoon Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis) who becomes deaf after an incident involving one of his father’s oil wells. Harvard, who is also deaf, has enjoyed previous success with his acting talents both on stage and in television. THERE WILL BE BLOOD marks his first major foray into the film industry, but based on the reviews, it certainly won't be his last.

On February 4th and February 5th the Alamo Ritz and Russell Harvard will present THERE WILL BE BLOOD with English subtitles for the benefit of the Central Texas Deaf and Hearing Impaired community. Harvard, an alumnus of the Texas School for the Deaf, will answer questions from the audience via an interpreter after each show.


Despite the fact this mainstream film prominantly features a deaf character, the studio has decided not to release a caption disk. So we're making it ourselves! To our knowledge, we are the only theater anywhere offering this cinema experience and we are thrilled Russell shares in our excitement.

These shows will be open to all and this film deserves to be enjoyed by everyone!

FREE!! VINCE VAUGHN'S WILD WEST COMEDY SHOW with star Sebastian Maniscalo live!!!

True, it's not a genre film, but Fantastic Fest is nonetheless proud to present an Ain't It Cool News free screening of VINCE VAUGHN'S WILD WEST COMEDY SHOW: 30 DAYS AND 30 NIGHTS - FROM HOLLYWOOD TO THE HEARTLAND this Thursday, January 17th at the Alamo South Lamar. Star Sebastian Maniscalco will be live in person at this screening and will conduct a Q&A following the show!

In the spirit of the old west variety shows, Vaughn plays host to the ensemble of comedians and performs improvisational sketches with surprise celebrity and musical guests. Hand picked by Vaughn to perform on the tour, from the world famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles, are national comedians Ahmed Ahmed, John Caparulo, Bret Ernst, and Sebastian Maniscalco.

The film provides audiences a rare opportunity to experience Vaughn and his team as they travel over 6,000 miles across the heartland of America and perform 30 shows in 30 days. Traveling to cities that don't ordinarily attract this type of entertainment, Vaughn and his team bring their unique styles and perspectives to regional audiences throughout Western, Southern and Midwestern states.

Through rousing onstage performances and behind-the-scenes interviews, the engaging film breaks down the true essence of each comedian's life altering experiences and the personal and professional challenges that will unite four comics, one movie star and legions of fans from Hollywood to the Heartland.


This event starts at 7:30PM on Thursday, January 17th and it's totally free! You can reserve your seat by signing up on the Fantastic Fest Facebook Event page here.

The remainder of the seats (if any) will be first come first serve at the door.

Ain't It Cool News, as always, you make happiness happen. Thank you.

Juno is a contender! Look out Pan's Labyrinth

A fun little game we play at the Alamo South Lamar is what films have the highest gross of all time since the theater opened. Strangely, PAN'S LABYRINTH is still the #1 grossing movie of all time; leaving even STAR WARS and PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN in the dust. We're very proud that PAN'S is still top dog, but there's a new contender on the block. After this weekend, JUNO will topple the mightly LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and take the number two slot and it is now within striking distance of PAN'S LABYRINTH.

Roger Ebert
named it his top film of 2007 and it was pretty high up on my own personal list. It's a perfect movie: great performances, great writing, great comedy and some very touching moments, none of which are played to strong so as to become schmaltz.

It looks like we'll be playing it at South Lamar for at least a couple more weeks, so if you haven't seen it yet, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Showtimes for Juno at Alamo South Lamar this week


And for the record, here's the current top 10:
1) PAN'S LABYRINTH
2) LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE
3) JUNO
4) SUPERBAD
5) PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
6) STAR WARS: EPISODE III
7) KNOCKED UP
8) WALK THE LINE
9) BOURNE ULTIMATUM
10) SIMPSONS MOVIE

Jon Gries is NOT a vegetarian!!!


We had a wonderful visit with Jon Gries this week at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. After this, his second trip to the theater and I have to say, he's one of our all-time favorite guests. He's down to earth, fun to hang out with and free of any Hollywood artifice. If/when he comes back to Austin, I have to beg each and every one of you to please not ask him the question, "Are you a vegetarian." Straight off the plane, we took him directly to Smitty's in Lockhart, and donned a cap from that fine establishment for the duration of his stay. I can personally vouch that he is a solid carnivore. Wikipedia has been corrected and our pal Freddie Avalos at Texas Geek TV has even cut together a video montage of Jon explaining his position on the consumption of flesh over and over and over again. Check it out above! Thanks Freddie!

Ain't It Cool News and Fantastic Fest present: TEETH with director Mitchell Lichtenstein live in person! And it's free!!!


The Ain't It Cool News crew offer up this celebratory super- screening to give thanks to those who have helped support the greatest film festival in the world- FANTASTIC FEST!!!

At 7:00PM on Thursday, January 17th, at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar, past and future Fantastic Fest Badge-Holders are invited to join us (for free!) to experience all the horror, humor and general disturbia of the highly anticipated dentata-rama TEETH. And director Mitchell Lichtenstein will be there live in person to answer all your questions after the show! We haven't even seen the film yet, but we can already think of a few good questions to ask...can you? Comment below with some questions you'd like to ask Mitchell Lichtenstein!

Tickets are available now to Fantastic Fest Badge-holders. Badge-holders whose email addresses are confirmed to receive the Alamo Newsletter have already received an email with instructions. Come Monday, January 14th, any remaining tickets will be up for grabs. If you'd like to see the show, send a message (on Monday!) to info@originalalamo.com with the word 'TOOTHY' in the subject line and your name. Remaining reservations will be distributed on a first sent, first served basis.

However, if you don't receive confirmation of your reservation, don't panic!

As history has proven, people reserve tickets and, for some lame reason or another, they don't show up. To compensate for this no-show factor, we will have a stand-by line for folks who want it bad enough. If you have the desire and the will, absolutely consider the stand-by line as a viable solution to your otherwise toothless evening. Seriously, a good bet for the brave.

Join the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema for yet another Ain't It Cool News and Fantastic Fest event to honor…you, the pure-of-heart cinephiles who eat, breathe and dream movies. If you haven't yet picked up your Fantastic Fest 2008 badge, there are still a few left. But not for long!



High school student Dawn works hard at suppressing her budding sexuality by being the local chastity group's most active participant. Her task is made even more difficult by her bad-boy stepbrother Brad's increasingly provocative behavior at home. A stranger to her own body, innocent Dawn discovers she has a toothed vagina when she becomes the subject of violence. As she struggles to comprehend her anatomical uniqueness, Dawn experiences both the pitfalls and the power of being a living example of the vagina dentata myth.

See ya there!

The REAL GENIUS Quote-Along: 700 pounds of popcorn? Seriously?

Dear Henri Mazza,

Don't get me wrong, I respect you. I think you're an exceedingly smart, inventive and all-around good guy. But there is way too much popcorn in our office right now.

It's time someone checked your flagrant disregard for the time and personal space of the people you work with, not to mention those generous few who must clean the mess left in the wake of your unrestrained indulgences.

Again, please don't take offense to this post- it's the REAL GENIUS Quote-Along, popcorn's supposed to explode all over the place, I get it- but there is absolutely way too much popcorn in our office right now. And what little space is left is now home to your haze machine and two hundred boxes of laser pointers. Again, it's the REAL GENIUS Quote-Along, I get it, but come on. Why can't we ever do the DOGVILLE Quote-Along, or even WILD STRAWBERRIES- simple character studies with a minimal amount of props? But I guess those wouldn't be as fun...

In short, please promise me you intend on making The REAL GENIUS Quote-Along worthy of these burdensome eccentricities. I have no doubt it'll be an experience of the highest (or, depending on where you're standing, lowest) order, but all this popcorn is clogging my sense of humor and salting wounds on my soul you inflicted with your god damned confetti gun.

As ever,

The Alamo Drafthouse Programming Office
