First Post Ever by paragraphs	May 11th, 2007 06:54:26 AM
Long time lerker...first time poster. FIRST!
boring article to be first on though by paragraphs	May 11th, 2007 06:55:29 AM
we get it harry...you love the drafthouse and obscure films.
What??? No "Sex With the Stars"?!?!? by Doctor_Sin	May 11th, 2007 06:55:32 AM
Where a bunch of hippie Brit-kids have to research how astrological signs affect sexuality. Prime Stuff. And, what about the Italian film "Sex Machine"? Or any of the "Six Swedes" films? Damn. I'd have expected QT to pick some better skin flix.
oh... by paragraphs	May 11th, 2007 06:56:43 AM
how could i leave out sex. harry loves the drafthouse, obscure films, and sex. given those tastes, i wonder if he enjoyed this event then?
So THIS is what Harry does with his time... by Thomas Cromwell	May 11th, 2007 07:20:25 AM
...hanging around with QT watching sex films. What a wonderful way to kill time.
Never heard of any of these flicks by Brody77	May 11th, 2007 07:23:31 AM
But I'll IMDB them just to see if they're worth watching (I don't trust QT's opinion on any film! lol)
"Sometimes farts smell good, this is one of them" by Boba Fat	May 11th, 2007 07:35:34 AM
Any film would be proud to have that quote on it's poster

He was a man, so I think you should pull his mane out of the Euro-hotties list.
Tarantino is over by Mike_Ock	May 11th, 2007 08:51:08 AM
This hack was a fad like the pet rock, cabbage patch kids, and the afro. Now he's over. He's hosting these stupid festivals because he's run out of movie ideas. Death Proof proves my point.
OK, Harry, you are turning me to the good side by trombone	May 11th, 2007 08:56:07 AM
of the force. I admit I started coming to AICN just to catch up on Super-hero stuff. And now you are turning me on (heh heh) to a whole new world of film. And your FUNNIEST line so far has to be: "It's Artsy Fartsy, but you know how sometimes farts smell good" LOL!
NIGHT WARNING is the last film for the Alamo Downtown? by Nordling	May 11th, 2007 09:35:21 AM
If you haven't seen this, you have to go. Jesus, that's the perfect film to close out the Drafthouse. I gotta get down there.
Less Yoko, More Reviews by CaseyMcCall	May 11th, 2007 09:36:40 AM
No great thing can last with too much Yoko...ask Paul McCartney...
Night Warning is STILL banned here in the UK... by Charlie & Tex	May 11th, 2007 10:25:10 AM
...but it's known as (Butcher, Baker) Nightmare Maker. It's a really enjoyable movie, but the relationship between the two main characters makes for uncomfortable viewing - probably the reason why it was deemed a "video nasty" back in the early-mid eighties...
Earthquake Weather by Nozoli Apples	May 11th, 2007 10:30:18 AM
Sounds like a great night with some sweet movies. I hope they have a great turnout for their closing. Am I the only one who really doesn't want to hear about Harry boinking? Does anyone have a pic of his wife to be?
Good stuff, Harold... by Jakes Nel	May 11th, 2007 11:07:49 AM
Quite a refreshing little article. Especially these days with half the site consisting of nothing but Spider-man 3 reviews.
Hey paragraphs good thing you were "FIRST" though huh by CarmillaVonDoom	May 11th, 2007 11:12:08 AM
Who am I kidding? But hey if you read this you are a douche. The Alamo screenings are THE REASON a lot of us come to this site...to get a connection to someplace that we can't physically BE. I would practically cut off my pinky finger and send it to Harry if he would send me a ticket. ;^)
Boba Fat by BGDAWES	May 11th, 2007 12:19:18 PM
gets the award for the funniest post of the day - hilarious!
Sometimes farts smell good, this is one of them... by SebastianHaff	May 11th, 2007 12:24:21 PM
What the fuck? I can picture Harry leaning over to the side, busting a fat juicy one out the browneye and taking a long, satasfied deep breath, smiling happily while filling his nostrils with ass smell. I can picture this, but I don't want to. Sometimes farts smell good? What the fuck?
O rly by Kragmose	May 11th, 2007 12:36:11 PM
Is it?
My cousin by Nozoli Apples	May 11th, 2007 01:00:05 PM
Used to sniff everyone's farts. If you farted then he'd get his nose as close to your butt as possible and start breathing in deep breaths.
Too bad this may be damned near impossible to do... by Wizejoker	May 11th, 2007 01:04:04 PM
But I'd like to see the Drafthouse host a double feature sometime this summer. A play in a park. The play? The Evil Dead musical with the Evil Dead screening behind that. I'd really love to see The Evil Dead musical. Maybe they could even get Bruce Campbell to show up!
Just a theater. by gothfae	May 11th, 2007 01:40:21 PM
Anyone who says it's just a theater has obviously never been there. I had a hell of a time last night. So I only got 4 hours of sleep for work the next morning... it was worth it.
that segment ... by El Borak	May 11th, 2007 02:12:22 PM
was close to falling off the tracks. thank god harry was tired and he didn't delve into his sex-life.
Marty Feldman by psychedelic	May 11th, 2007 04:02:21 PM
I saw this triple feature here in L.A. as part of the Grindhouse Fest at the New Beverly Cinema. Harry doesn't exaggerate about Marty Feldman in Sex With A Smile. His performance is pure genius and ranks up there with Peter Sellers' best. I hadn't laughed that hard at anything in a while. For Marty Feldman alone, Sex With A Smile deserves to be seen by many, many more people. Sex On The Run is fun too. It has a light charm you don't see often these days.
Austin's charm and coolness is dying a little each day by Doctor_Sin	May 11th, 2007 06:58:23 PM
This place sucks now.
The Hijacking of Austin Texas by #1 Zero	May 11th, 2007 09:30:56 PM
Has Tarantino just hijacked Austin Texas or what. Sure, maybe he is loved there so maybe that is the draw for him. But it seems like he is just following a trend that says Austin is the place to be. Filming Deathproof there and hanging out with Robert Rodriguez, I mean it seems like he is trying to hard to be anti hollywood and saying, "Look how cool I am, I dominate the Austin scene." Whatever.
this SO reminds me... by smallerdemon	May 11th, 2007 09:55:31 PM
of my first time at the Draft House. I have audio evidence of my first tips to the draft house. It's going to be my wedding present for you Harry. :)
re: carmilla von doom / elitism by paragraphs	May 12th, 2007 01:55:53 AM
personally, i think the drafthouse is way overhyped on this site, especially given that 99% of us will never be able to go there. it almost becomes an elite club, where "i'm a fan of real cinema, because i go to the drafthouse" is the attitude. i'm probably mistaken in this belief, but that's how it comes off to me.
it's not about elitism, it's about by HEADGEEK	May 12th, 2007 09:08:54 AM
loving film with other film lovers. There's places all over the world to love movies, from your living room to your favorite theater or wherever. The Drafthouse - isn't about snobbery, it's about having as much fun watching films with other people that are tired of the standard movie theater experience. This isn't about the best screen, but great programming. Just head over to OriginalDrafthouse.Com and check out their programming - and if at the end of that, you call it snobbish... wow... that's just not at all what it's about. As for 99% of you not ever being able to make it. Nearly every single time I go to a Drafthouse event, there's someone that's traveled to Austin that's only ever read about it. They've got this goofy, HOLY SHIT THIS PLACE ROCKS, smile and sometimes... just sometimes... they end up moving here.
Pajares y Esteso by CuervoJones	May 12th, 2007 09:16:59 AM
Euro sex comedies?
The Drafthouse Is Not Alone by psychedelic	May 12th, 2007 09:53:36 AM
Just to defuse this elitism thing a little further---- there are other places in the country where filmlovers can go to watch non-mainstream flicks while enjoying a beer and french fries. Prime example: The Ryder series at Bear's Place in Bloomington, Indiana. The first time I got drunk was at a double feature of Blue In The Face and Smoke. Every time I thought about Her, I took a sip and soon enough: blahhhhhhh. The first time I saw Murnau’s Nosferatu was at Bear’s with a live rock band doing an original score. To this day I still remember their main theme and would love to have a Nosferatu DVD with their score. Point being: film nuts are all over and unique screening experiences come from a supportive enthusiastic community & someone taking a risk to start a venue. Having grown up in Bowling Green, Ohio, I know the feeling of never having anything cool come near you. Try starting something in your own living room with some friends and see what happens.
SAN FRANCISCO NEEDS A DRAFTHOUSE.. PRONTO! by gride9000	May 12th, 2007 01:30:43 PM
Any investors.....I'm looking @ you harry. Frisco has the Castro, Red Vic and Roxie cinema. All of these great places do not have food and cocktail service. Austin has hicks and shitty weed, but they also have a thriving music and film scene. I dare say the Drafthouse is not the only alternative to home or theatrical presentation. There are also allot of "Videobooths" downtown, these booths offer a change to the "standard movie theater experience" we all know and sometimes love. On a final note I've seen things in these "Videobooths" that are similar to what Harry describes he saw on screen during the final QT fest. For example last time I saw a girl (It would be a lie to call her a woman) get both anally and vaginally penetrated with not one but Two penises each. How artistic!
The Drafthouse is closing? by Quake II	May 12th, 2007 02:09:58 PM
I assumed that place raked in the cash with all these festivals and publicity on this site. No one can pony up the cash and buy it? WTF? I've never been there but I've heard about it for years on this site. Why doesn't Tarantino buy it?
And here in Tucson, we have a decent cinema. by Quake II	May 12th, 2007 02:17:24 PM
It's called The Loft and they sell beer & wine, gourment pizza and hold some cool festivals as well as bringing directors to town. Loftcinema.com
thanks for the reply headgeek by paragraphs	May 12th, 2007 03:11:10 PM
that was a very well reasoned reply that made me rethink my views. who knows...maybe i'll even end up at the new and improved drafthouse sometime.
Hey paragraphs sorry I was a bit rude there by CarmillaVonDoom	May 12th, 2007 04:54:13 PM
Obviously you do read and respond to the articles, and don't just type 'first' everywhere for no reason. Best wishes to you.
Lesbian scenes are the cheeze whiz of film by Bronx Cheer	May 12th, 2007 11:12:50 PM
And booze at the movies is just an elaborate way of masking a drinking problem. Hiccup.
CarmillaVonDoom by paragraphs	May 12th, 2007 11:32:33 PM
thanks! don't worry about it though...if i took every name someone called me on the internet seriously, i'd be scarred for life.
Harry the Bard. by La Frog	May 13th, 2007 06:05:27 AM
"It is WEIRD, but good weird. It is Artsy Fartsy, but you know how sometimes farts smell good, this is one of them." No wonder females get crazy for this man. He is such a poet.
that last metaphor by YO MOM'S GOAT	May 13th, 2007 06:56:12 PM
has to be the worst I've ever read. And no, I don't know how some farts smell good. But I do know that I'm both proud and ashamed that somehow I read every word of that review. I have no idea what I read because of the horrible grammar, missing words, often absent punctuation and just generally shoddy writing, but dangit if I didn't make it to the end.
Sometimes farts smell good by Thunderbolt Ross	May 14th, 2007 07:21:23 AM
... Eh, maybe I'll skip Spidey 3 after all.
Drunken Loudmouths by gothfae	May 14th, 2007 10:33:07 AM
In all my time in Austin, I've chosen to see all my movies in two places. The odd at the Original Downtown, and the new at The Alamo Village. Not once in all that time have I been subjected to a "drunken loudmouth". If someone is loud and obnoxious, the staff _will_ throw their ass out. This is about the movie going experience, for movie goers, and I'm glad I can live in a place where I have more choices than "Cinemark" and "Regal".
The Alam Drafthouse deserves to close! by Cinemajerk	May 14th, 2007 11:08:19 PM
I never understand when places as supposedly "revered" as the Drafthouse close...and all these celebs bemoan its passing. I live here in NYC, and have lived thru it recently with the closing of CBGBs and The Bottom Line. If you friggin LOVE it that much...BUY THE DAMN thing. I mean come on. QT alone could probably buy the Drafthouse. I guess they don't love it THAT much. So stop whining and let it go. Boo Hoo!
