Alamo Drafthouse is #1!!! Duh! No Shite Sherlock!

Hey folks, Harry here... Oh no, the secret is out! Entertainment Weekly just named THE ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE as the #1 theater "doing it right" in making the movie going experience the best possible experience you can have with movies and going that extra mile to combat the evil decline of theater attendance.

Amen!

The photo in the issue perfectly illustrates it with a look at watching THE LIFE AQUATIC at the Alamo! Click Here To See The Article and to see if your favorite theater is listed! I also figure that this would be a great place for all of you - to list your favorite theater to see the movies that really count. As for me... I'm prepping for Tim and the Alamo's Rolling Roadshow journey across the western half of the United States - followed by Quentin Tarantino's Latest Film Festival at the Drafthouse! Oh yeah - and I'm in the midst of working my ass off programming Fantastic Fest also to be held at the Drafthouse! My God... It's Full of Stars... and an Audience!
