ALAMO GUIDE
Here we go again.
As some of you may recall, for the May/June issue of The Alamo Guide, I put together a fairly drastic redesign. The familiar spreads where all the series were organized onto their own pages was gone in favor of some stark white boxes that led the reader through the programming chronologically. My thought was that by casually flipping through and looking at all the shows together, people may stumble onto something they otherwise would have missed, and maybe someone would discover a new favorite series that they otherwise wouldnt have been exposed to. That may have in fact happened for some of you, but based on the feedback we received after that issue hit the stands, that wasnt the case for most of you. Most of you, in fact, totally hated that method of organizing the information. Whoops! Sometimes I just dont know when to leave well enough alone. Fortunately I do know how to listen, and so I listened to all of that criticism, I reached out to some of you, and after sitting down with everyone in the creative office we were able to put together this even newer version. Im sure there will be at least a couple of people who are disappointed with this, because change is hard no matter what, but with any luck at all most of you will appreciate the clean lines we took from the new layout and the series organization we maintained from our classic design. Weve also included a full calendar of all of our signature programming (well, everything except the Summer Kids Camp, which we only left out because the titles repeat a lot and theyre playing every day). Fitting all of those titles onto the page required a pretty small font, but if you dont feel like using a magnifying glass you can always find that information on drafthouse.com. Speaking of the new drafthouse.com, we were listening to comments about that redesign as well. By the time youre reading this, the website will be redesigned to incorporate all of the daily showtimes right on the market page along with the latest blog posts and promo squares for upcoming events. If you want to dig deeper and check things out by the series, youll have that option, but all in all youll be able to get to the showtimes and movie pages with fewer clicks. And we all hate extra clicks. Of course, if youre mad about having those extra clicks taken away from you because that was your favorite form of exercise or something, you can always feel free to send us an email, leave a comment on a blog post, or hit me up directly via Twitter or Facebook. It may never be possible to please every single movie lover with one design, but we really do want to create a haven for movie fans of all types, so I hope youll continue sharing your thoughts on all manner of what we do, from design to programming to general food service.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2

Its the thick of the summer movie season, and this year is shaping up to be one of the most epic summers of all time. The HARRY POTTER franchise comes to its stunning conclusion, CAPTAIN AMERICA gets us ever closer to Marvels plan for World Domination with THE AVENGERS, and Jon Favreau is out to prove that hes more than just the man who brought IRON MAN to life with COWBOYS & ALIENS. Mix in some truly outrageous indie film explosions with BELLFLOWER, and you can be sure that Summer 2011 will be one for the record books.
HORRIBLE BOSSES Dir. Seth Gordon, Opens 7/8

For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers...permanently.
HARRY POTTER FEAST Dir. David Yates, LC 7/18, SL 7/19

Feasts inspired by each of the Harry Potter films have become an outright Alamo tradition. Executive Chef John Bullington has worked his culinary magic time and again, treating audiences to some of the tastiest English-themed spreads this side of the Great Hall. For this, the final installment of our beloved Harry Potter films, expect suitably great, powerfully delicious offerings.
THE ULTIMATE HARRY POTTER MOVIE MARATHON Dir. Various, VL, SL & LC 7/14
It literally feels like just last week we were getting all excited about the news that Hollywood was going to bring the Harry Potter books to the screen, marveling at the possibilities of seeing the world of HP come to life and scrutinizing the young, cute little faces of the kids who would play Ron, Hermoine and, of course, the Boy Who Lived. Its the end of an era, really. And while we cant wait to see the conclusion of THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, we did wander around in a funk for a little while wishing we actually had a time-turner so we could relive all of Harry and the gangs adventures on the big screen again. Then, we came up with the next best (nonmagical) solution: An epic, day-long marathon viewing of ALL the Harry Potter films leading up to the midnight premiere of DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2. And by day, we mean an ENTIRE DAY (and well into the night), from SORCERERS STONE all the way through HALLOWS: PART 2 -- thats over 20 hours of Potter watching! So come in your comfiest wizard robes or muggle clothes and prepare to camp out in the theater with us as we give Harry and company a proper heroic cinematic send-off!
NEW RELEASES
CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE Dirs. Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, Opens 7/29
In what will certainly be the funniest rom-com of the summer, Steve Carell plays Cal Weaver, a straight-laced guy in his forties. Cal is having trouble adjusting to the dating scene after his wife of 25 years (Julianne Moore) tells him that shes had an affair and now wants a divorce. Cal finds guidance from new friend Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling), the thirty-something, chiseled abd playboy.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER Dir. Joe Johnston, Opens 7/22
Seems like we weve been waiting on a Captain America movie for ages. Well, from what we can tell, its worth the wait. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER looks to be a double-barrel blast of freedom-fighting, superhero action! Heres the deal: back in WWII, shrimpy but plucky Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) keeps trying to enlist in the army and keeps getting rejected... that is until he volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns the 98-pound weakling into a ripple-y Super Soldier known as Captain America. With his new power and heroic identity, Rogers joins forces with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) to wage war on the evil HYDRA organization, led by the villainous Red Skull (Hugo Weaving). Sign us up for duty, capn!
COWBOYS AND ALIENS Dir. Jon Favreau, Opens 7/29

IRON MANs Jon Favreau takes the helm of another comic-inspired adventure, and this time hes bringing James Bond and Han Solo along for the ride. The idea of aliens attacking the Old West is too good for us to not play around with, so expect opening weekend to be a Big Deal at South Lamar, as well have some exterior visuals by Houndstooth you wont wanna miss AND an epic party at the Highball.
30 MINUTES OR LESS Dir. Ruben Fleischer, Opens 8/12

If you like your comedies dark, look no further than the new film from Fantastic Fest alum Ruben Fleischer (ZOMBIELAND). The sinister plot: two criminals kidnap a pizza boy, strap a bomb to his chest, and tell him he has a few hours to rob a bank or the bomb goes off. This is based on a true story. How it has been turned into a comedy, we do not know.
BELLFLOWER Dir. Evan Glodell, Opens 8/5

One of this years most talked about films from both Sundance and SXSW, BELLFLOWER is coming to screens on a limited release in August. The film follows two friends as they venture out into the world to begin their adult lives. Literally all their free time is spent building flame-throwers and weapons of mass destruction in hopes that a global apocalypse will occur and clear the runway for their imaginary gang, Mother Medusa.While waiting for the world to end, their call to excitement comes unexpectedly when one of them meets a charismatic young woman and falls hard in love. Quickly integrated into a new group of friends, they set off on a journey of betrayal, love, hate, infidelity and extreme violence more devastating and fiery than any of their apocalyptic fantasies.
ONE DAY Dir. Lone Scherfig, Opens 8/19

How does love change over time? This is the ambitious question of the new film ONE DAY, based on the best-selling novel by David Nicholls. The film visits a couple (played by Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess) on the same date every year for twenty years. Sometimes theyre together, sometimes theyre apart. A great romance told on an epic scale.
SPECIAL GUESTS
AN EVENING WITH CRISPIN GLOVER
There are a lot of things that make us feel incredibly lucky to be running a movie theater, but hands down one of the best perks of the job is having the chance to share our screens with special guests. Over the years weve hosted Hollywood A-listers and local independents along side everything in between, and this summer is no different. We hope youll join us at the theater for a chance to say hello to a wide range of cinematic dynamos.
CRISPIN GLOVER LIVE IN PERSON at the RITZ Presenting WHAT IS IT? (7/7) and IT IS FINE! EVERYTHING IS FINE (7/8)
It is a great honor to welcome the great actor, writer and director Crispin Hellion Glover back to the Alamo Drafthouse at the Ritz to show his films WHAT IS IT? and IT IS FINE! EVERYTHING IS FINE. These screenings are more than just viewings of the films. Crispin will start each evening with his Big Slide Show, which he narrates live. And after each screening Crispin will answer audience questions about his provocative and challenging work. Though Glover is widely recognized as one of Hollywoods most brazenly unique character actors, the films he creates are even more unusual. Swastikas, talking snails, blackface and Down Syndrome are just the tip of his artistic iceberg. Do not miss this!
LENNON AND GARANT DAY AT THE ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE SL 7/9

Join two of the most successful idiots in comedy today, Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, who have a hilarious new book out called Writing Movies for Fun and Profit. Theyre hitting the road to promote it. We are huge fans of RENO 911!, THE STATE, VIVA VARIETY, and many more of their projects so we were of course, eager to have them out. They will be joining us for a special day of shows at the Alamo South Lamar. Well start off with a special 90 minute sitdown with Lennon and Garant where well play clips from their many projects and talk to the fellows about the creative process involved and all the behind the scenes dirt we really want to hear. Arent you dying to hear the true story behind HERBIE: FULLY LOADED? We are! Then the scene shifts to the Highball for a booksigning and party with Renos finest. Finally, well return to the theater for The Lennon and Garant Super Secret Screening which will include some hand picked treats that few have seen as well as a Q&A from the boys.

SPECIAL GUESTS
KATI WITH AN I w/ Robert Greene Live Dir. Robert Greene, 2010, NR, 86 min RZ 8/14
This New York Times Critics Pick and recent nominee of the highly prestigious Gotham Award for Best Film Not Playing at a Theatre Near You is a miracle of documentary filmmaking. Greene, a documentarian whose style brings together the best of the Maysles Brothers and Frederick Wiseman, works with the sensitivity of a poet. He identifies the subtle tensions and inspirations that drive his subjects and he brings them to life with his camera. In KATI WITH AN I, Greene follows eighteen-year old Kati, a nave and headstrong girl with the heart of an artist, on the three days leading up to her high school graduation. Her life is changing, and she fights vigorously to hold onto any semblance of her past, and her youth, as it slips away. Throughout this often heart-breaking tale, Greene is somehow able to capture moments of hope and beauty; he takes a seemingly minor section of an unknown teenagers life and makes it feel devastatingly important. A truly beautiful film. (Daniel Metz)
FAKE IT SO REAL w/ Robert Greene live Dir. Robert Greene, 2011, NR, 94 min RZ 8/15, 8/16
Greenes follow-up to KATI WITH AN I has been playing the festival circuit the past few months and making serious waves. Here he displays the same attention to the casual moments in everyday life and crafts them into epic narratives of comedy, tragedy and triumph. In a stroke of brilliance, Greene may have found his quintessential subject in FAKE IT SO REAL, where he chronicles a troupe of amateur professional wrestlers in rural North Carolina. The performative qualities of the fighters and the stories of good vs. evil they enact in the ring feel almost classical in their structure. This level of professional wrestling is itself a bloated world of theatrics and bravado, and Greene is able to reproduce this spirit while also turning the less glamorous moments (training, building the ring, paying the rental fees, etc.) into fits of heroicism. The filmmaker follows this troupe for a week leading up to one of their matches, and it plays as a tight narrative that will resonate for anyone who has ever thrown themselves completely into something they love. With its depths of sadness and moments of heart-swelling hopefulness, this is like a documentary version of THE WRESTLER.
AFS presents DADDY LONGLEGS w/ Josh and Benny Safdie Live Dir. J. and B. Safdie, 2009, NR, 100 min, 35mm RZ 8/22
This Sundance film from 2009 by brothers/writers/directors Josh and Benny Safdie (THE PLEASURE OF BEING ROBBED) is an unflinching portrait of a well-meaning but destructive father who is enjoying and spoiling his two-week visitation time. Played by filmmaker Ronald Bronstein (whose underground masterpiece FROWNLAND is probably the greatest film you havent seen), this father is one of the most true and brutal characters in recent celluloid memory. Filmed on a lowbudget and in a Cassavetes camera style, DADDY LONGLEGS is a new kind of a film with a sense of urgency and realism reminiscent of the impulses of the French New Wave. The Safdie brothers are able to capture a dream-like portrait of New York, endlessly nostalgic and yet somehow also of our time. The writers/directors Josh and Benny Safdie will be with us to present the film. (Daniel Metz)
Outside In: SAFDIE BROTHERS SHORTS w/ Josh and Benny Safdie Live RZ 8/24
OUTSIDE IN is our newest screening series, showcasing underappreciated geniuses, cinematic wingnuts, anti-art visionaries and the secret heroes of the big (and small) screen! Since their startling feature debut with THE PLEASURE OF BEING ROBBED (SXSW 2008) and last years transcendent DADDY LONGLEGS, the Safdie Brothers have been on the must-watch list for any serious enthusiast for new cinema. Their new short film, JOHNS GONE, premiered at this years SXSW and it became quickly apparent that these brothers are doing something very, very right. After we sent them a gushing fan letter, we discovered they have an entire shorts program that just ran in Argentina and has never played in the US. Well be hosting the North American Premiere of this new program, which will include JOHNS GONE and a handful of other never-before-seen-in-America shorts. The Safdie Brothers films are sinister, gritty and tender, displaying the underside of urban landscapes that we all assume must have died out in the 1970s. To see a collection of their short films will be an occasion to cherish, even if youll have to shower immediately after. (Daniel Metz)

MUSIC MONDAY
SPONSORED IN PART BY END OF AN EAR RECORDS AND ROOM SERVICE VINTAGE EVERY MONDAY NIGHT AT THE RITZ FOR JUST FIVE BUCKS!
RUSH: BEYOND THE LIGHTED STAGE

End of an Ear Records and Room Service Vintage help us create and curate this weekly series of movies focused around the world of music. Join us every Monday night at the Ritz for documentaries, concert films, fantastic soundtracks, and movies about musicians. Austin may be the Live Music Capital of the World, but the Ritz is definitely the filmed music capital of the universe!
BLANK CITY Dir. Celine Danhier, 2010, NR, 94 min RZ 7/4 Also plays for regular admission on these dates RZ 7/6, 7/10 : LC 7/11-7/14
BLANK CITY is an artists history of New York in the late 70s and early 80s, when No Wave was the buzzword and low rent was the means of survival. In Downtown Manhattan, artists were living in abandoned, burnt down apartments and forming a community inspired by this dangerous wasteland. This documentary uses firsthand interviews and archival footage to tell the story of musicians like Patti Smith, Television, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, The Contortions, The Bush Tetras, and Sonic Youth and filmmakers of the Cinema of Transgression like Jim Jarmusch, Steve Buscemi, Richard Kern, Amos Poe, James Nares, Eric Mitchell, Susan Seidelman, Beth B, Scott B, Charlie Ahearn and Nick Zedd. Definitely a must see documentary for those interested in independent art.
RUSH: BEYOND THE LIGHTED STAGE Dir. Sam Dunn &Scot McFadyen, 2010, NR, 106 min RZ 7/11 & 7/18
Amazing as it may seem, Rush trails only The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith for the most consecutive gold or platinum albums by a rock band. The band has sold more than 40 million records worldwide and garnered untold legions of devoted and admiring fans. This critically acclaimed film explores the forty-year career and phenomenon behind what could be the worlds biggest cult band. Featuring never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with notables such as Jack Black, Billy Corgan, Trent Reznor, Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), Kirk Hammett (Metallica) and Gene Simmons, this film is sure to please RUSH die-hards and those who are just discovering the Canadian Prog-rock band that brought us Tom Sawyer and countless other gems.

MUSIC MONDAY
AUSTIN CITY LIMITS CLASSICS: WILLIE NELSON PILOT / WILCO RZ 7/25 : VL 8/1
Tickets are $5. All proceeds benefit HAAM, Health Alliance for Austin Musicians. There will be giveaways of ACL Fest passes at each show, so be there! Is there anyone on earth who doesnt love Willie Nelson? He is one of those Texans we can all look at and say, Yep, thats our guy. And he was the only fitting choice to kick off a little TV show that originated here to showcase the best of Texas and other roots music to the whole world through long-form live concerts. Willie and friends kill here, of course. Who would expect anything less? We will screen the full pilot episode of ACL as well as selected clips of other great performances from the show.
SOUL POWER Dir. Jeffery Levy-Hinte, 2008, PG-13, 93 min, 35mm RZ 8/1, 8/8
In 1974, the most celebrated American R&B acts of the time came together with the most renowned musical groups in Africa for a 12-hour, three-night long concert held in Kinshasa, Zaire. The dream-child of Hugh Masekela and Stewart Levine, this music festival became a reality when they convinced boxing promoter Don King to combine the event with The Rumble in the Jungle, the epic fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, previously chronicled in the Academy Award-winning documentary WHEN WE WERE KINGS. SOUL POWER is a verit documentary about this legendary music festival (dubbed Zaire 74), and it depicts the experiences and performances of such musical luminaries as James Brown, BB King, Bill Withers, Celia Cruz, among a host of others. At the peak of their talents and the height of their careers, these artists were inspired by this return to their African roots, as well as the enthusiasm of the Zairian audience, to give the performances of their lives.
REPO MAN Dir. Alex Cox, 1984, R, 92 min, 35mm RZ 8/15& 8/22
REPO MAN is considered to be The Ultimate Punk Film. But in fact, REPO MAN should be called The Ultimate 80s Film, with its shipwrecked characters living low beneath the shadows of the crummy Reagan era. Otto (Emilio Estevez) is a go-nowhere L.A. punk whose life takes a turn for the crazy when hes enlisted by a crew of selfdestructive, nihilistic repo men (including Sy Richardson and Harry Dean Stanton). Meanwhile, a mysterious cop-evaporating force threatens to change the laws of science as we know it. Featuring a hilarious script and a soundtrack from Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Iggy Pop and Fear, plus enough zoned out new wave maniacs to fill a mental ward. There is no movie experience like this one, and Cox is considered one of the reigning kings of cult film for a thousand reasons, all of which are on fearless display in this blue-collar masterpiece. Lets go do some crimes
KLRU and ACL Present: AUSTIN CITY LIMITS: TOM WAITS 1979 RZ 8/29 : VL 9/5
Tickets are $5. All proceeds benefit HAAM, Health Alliance for Austin Musicians. There will be giveaways of ACL Fest passes at each show, so be there! One of the most legendary Austin City Limits episodes of all time is the one that features Tom Waits, in a transitional period (isnt he always, though?), tearing through his early repertoire with all the coolness and barfly charm weve come to love him for. Except for the occasional repeat, this episode has only become available on mostly terrible bootlegs, but thanks to our friends at KLRU and Austin City Limits, we are bringing it back, newly remastered from the original source tapes. In addition to a complete screening of this essential performance of Tom Waits at his peak, we will also show a program of some other great performances from the ACL archives.

The Original ITS ALIVE Dir. Larry Cohen, 1974, 91 min, PG, 35mm RZ 7/5
The only thing more nauseating than a penis or a vagina is the product of their union. When I hear the cries of a newborn infant, I firmly believe that if translated the miserable creatures mewlings would be a plea for suicide. Because even a goddamn baby knows that babies are nature at its very worst. Case in point: the bouncing lil basteroid that just popped out of poor Mrs. Davis. After nine months of body-disfiguring pregnancy, the wee bundle erupts, murders half the hospital staff and disappears into the night. What follows is an incredible, flesh-ripping race through the alleys and sewers of Los Angeles in search of a cannibalistic hell-spud. The outrageously entertaining John Ryan plays the creatures father, desperate to locate his son so he can unload a shotgun into it. This anti-procreation masterpiece spawned two sequels, and re-re-re-re-reassured a generation of horror fans that castration is the only road to happiness. (Zack Carlson)
PRISON Dir. Renny Harlin, 1988, 102 min, R, 35mm RZ 7/12

NOT AVAILABLE ON DVD! First things first: THIS MOVIE IS INSANE. Viggo Mortensen (!) stars as freshfaced convict Burke, one of hundreds of inmates to be relocated to a maximum security prison haunted by a vengeful, omnipotent force that will stop at nothing short of total annihilation. To dismiss the entity as simply a ghost would be like referring to Eric Clapton as white. Like Clapton, the evil runs much, much deeper than that. This paranormal maniac is pure spectral violence unleashed, using every method possible to rend all life from the face of the earth. Witness countless creative fatalities as cops and cons alike are broiled, decapitated, lacerated, mutilated, fileted, electrocuted and sliced to ribbons by autonomous razorwire! Not recommended to anyone who respects either police or human beings. (Zack Carlson)
TERRORVISION Dir. Ted Nicolaou, 1986, 83 min, R, 35mm RZ 7/19

NOT AVAILABLE ON DVD! There are two types of people in this world: those who enjoy fun...and adults. TERRORVISION is 100% Adult Repellent, and ranks with heavy hitters like PEEWEES BIG ADVENTURE and THE MONSTER SQUAD as a solid monolith of pure, undistilled entertainment. When polyester swingers The Puttermans (Mary Woronov & Gerrit Graham) set up their swanky new satellite dish, they inadvertently beam in a carnivorous mutated spacebeast that can attack and devour through the TV. Luckily, Grandpa is a shell-shocked survivalist with a military-grade arsenal, and he and grandson Sherman are ready to blast the menace from the Putterman home. A criminally underseen goldmine of 80s schlock, this movie features more new wave hysteria, protoplasmic slime and hilarious dialogue than the next 20 years of video vomit would even hint at. Watch for funnybone-busting performances from Alejandro Rey as the dynamite Greek love machine Spiro and Jon Gries (King Vidiot from JOYSTICKS) as a guitarshredding metal maniac named O.D! TOO RUDE!!! (Zack Carlson)

TERROR TUESDAY
REVENGE FROM PLANET APE Dir. Amando do Ossorio, 1971, 86 min, PG, 35mm RZ 7/26
NOT AVAILABLE ON DVD, kinda!!! In 1971, Italio-horror penny-pincher De Ossorio completed TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD, his first in a series of films about an occult order of ancient knights who rise from the grave to destroy humanity. TOMBS hit all the Euro exploitation targets of suspense, unexplained phenomena and lesbianism, and contained scenes of violence that will still turn modern stomachs. But when the movie failed to find proper US distribution, its producers repackaged it with an English opening narration explaining that the reanimated mummified corpses were in fact a race of simian invaders from another planet who were blinded, defeated and buried centuries ago. This allowed the film to be wrongfully pitched to theaters as part of the then-unstoppable PLANET OF THE APES series. A brilliant marketing concept that no wait hold on a minute. It was completely retarded. (Zack Carlson)
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: THE DREAM WARRIORS Dir. Chuck Russell, 1987, 96 min, R, 35mm RZ 8/2
By the time his third film rolled around, Freddy was already the toast of Hollywood. Fancy cars, beautiful women, wild partiesthe works. But rather than rest on his horror-laurels, the celebrated slashmaster unleashed the masterpiece of his career. DREAM WARRIORS artistic and financial success catapulted high school homicide to the top of the sub-studio heap, creating a template for countless imitators and paving the way for decreasingly entertaining sequels and a recent, steaming brown remake. But none of those depressors can tarnish this powerblast of 80s mayhem, featuring the Bastard Son of a Thousand Maniacs taking on a bevy of mentally ill teenagers who nocturnally transform into wizards, marionettes and punk rock knifewielders. Genre superhuman John Saxon co-stars in the most action-packed rampager of the series. Sure, Terror Tuesday often celebrates the underdogs of the mortality circuit, but sometimes youve just gotta pay credit to the looming legends. Dear Freddy Krueger Before your shitty, pathetic decline, you inpired a nation of 12-year-old boys to idolize a horribly burned child-rapist. Tonight, we honor you once more. (Zack Carlson)
THE VISITOR Dir. Michael J. Paradise, 1979, 94 min, R, 35mm RZ 8/9

An inexplicably all-star cast steers a blackhearted blowout of interplanetary possession, telekinetic avian assault, exploding basketballs and ecclesiastical laserstorms. Young Katy Collins is gifted with cosmic powers and begins a downward spiral through the forces of heaven and hell that rains darkness and insanity all around her. With Lance Henriksen, a mutilated Glenn Ford, Shelley Winters, a 200-proof-drunk Sam Peckinpah and even John Huston as the Messenger of God. I dont know what writer/director Michael J. Paradise (actually Giulio Paradisi) was attempting, but no human mind could have deliberately created this. THE VISITOR is a visual buffet of shattered glass, vicious death and never-before-witnessed crackpot inanity that goes beyond all laws of filmmaking, resulting in something crazed, unfathomable and completely, beautifully unique. If you dont believe me, just ask Space Jesus. An extremely rare screening of this UNEDITED 35MM PRINT of the most berserk sci-fi/horror film of the 70s, in conjunction with Code Red Entertainment! (Zack Carlson)
DONT PANIC Dir. Ruben Galindo, Jr., 1988, 90 min, R, 35mm RZ 8/23
In the late 80s, Mexican movie studios assaulted the teen terror genre, blending traditional cultural legends of witchery and religious occultism with reliable pesomakers like the FRIDAY THE 13th franchise. The resulting output was a cross-eyed slasher buffet of shrieking youths, Latino superstition and semi-identifiable Miguel Meyers maniacs. But no sub-border horror-war scored like DONT PANIC, an Englishlanguage, Freddy-friendly murder epic that faithfully follows familiar formulas, yet somehow in its subtly disabled grace manages to run completely off the rails of human logic. Released on its home turf under the much wilder title DIMENSIONES OCCULTAS, this is a movie with an awe-inspiring ignorance of its own flaws, which ultimately only contributes to its power. Perhaps its the 20-oz. monobrow on the female lead. Or maybe its the fact that the 30-year-old teenage protagonist spends half the film running around wearing brontosaurus-pattern jammies. Or it could be one of 664 other reasons. Regardless, DONT PANIC is guaranteed to be your one-way passport to la muerte de su cerebro. (Zack Carlson)
The Original THE HITCHER Dir. Robert Harmon, 1986, 97 min, R, 35mm RZ 8/16
Before Rutger Hauer was a shotgun-wielding vagrantbefore Michael Bay was a remake-wielding dumbshitthere was THE HITCHER. A crucial component to slasher cinema history, this sand-choked high desert hellride remains unmatched. Largely to blame for its perfection is Hauer as John Ryder, a carefree drifter who delights in the extermination of everyone he encounters, including a pre-blackface C. Thomas Howell as the only man to meet Ryder and survive. What begins as an effective catand-mouse epic quickly escalates to a massively explosive, action-laden adventure pitting an innocent young man against evil incarnate. Lethal automotive stuntwork, deeply chilling atmosphere and Oscar-level performances make THE HITCHER one of the best movies youll ever see, horror or otherwise. The only known 35mm print of this film is stored in England but were bringing it all the way over for this very special one-time screening, so either you hate everything thats good or well see you at this show. (Zack Carlson)
THE EXTERMINATOR Dir. James Glickenhaus, 1980, 91 min, R, 35mm RZ 8/30

Yeah, yeah. I know. Its a vigilante movie. No vampires, no sasquatches, no alien fiends. But I hereby declare that THE EXTERMINATOR is filthier...grittier...more brilliantly base and degrading that any horror feature you can name. From the films very first minute, this 50-fisted suicide bomb of street justice is celluloid rabies. The plot: a Vietnam vet is pushed over the edge by the atrocities of war and urban American living and decides to take matters into his own hands. What follows is a solid barrage of highly concentrated freelance law enforcement, as the most amoral cancers of the New York underworld find retribution tearing through their every organ. Shotguns, blowtorches, sedans and man-sized industrial meat grinders are just a few of the tools used by one-man army Robert Ginty to rid America of its pimps, pushers and pedophiles. If crime-fighting is really this explosively satisfying, Im gonna go find an underage smoker and beat him to death with a table leg. (Zack Carlson)

AVENGING DISCO GODFATHER Dir. J. Robert Wagoner, 1979, 93 min, R, 35mm RZ 7/6
Put your weight on it! This is the legendary hardcore anti-PCP movie from Dolemite himself. The late Rudy Ray Moore created a stage persona straight out of the gaudy flash of the Chitlin Circuit entertainers of his youth and combined it with the folk poetry of the black south. It served him well as a stage comic and when he took it to the screen in the film DOLEMITE he became an underground hero. After the admittedly rough first movie with its hilariously poor kung fu sequences, his subsequent films had slightly better production values. They also got really weird. In AVENGING DISCO GODFATHER, Moore plays an ex-cop disco impresario who changes out of his gold lame jumpsuit to get revenge on the drug dealers who ruined his nephew Buckys mind with PCP. Theres less overt comedy and more of what appears to be an attempt at gritty realism. Thankfully, its unbelievably hysterical. The scenes of PCP hallucinations and the tour of the PCP ward at the local hospital send this movie into the stratosphere of strangeness. Bring your own angel dust! (Lars Nilsen)
RIOT ON SUNSET STRIP Dir. Arthur Dreifus, 1967, 87 min, NR, 35mm RZ 7/13
The most shocking film of our generation! Meet the teenyboppers with their too-tight capris... And the pot-partygoers - out for a new thrill - a new kick! Hilariously misguided and fun expose of the youth problem. This is definitely a bad movie but as bad movies go its sublime. Gorgeous Mimsy Farmer (THE ROAD TO SALINA), a walking tornado of virginal innocence and sex appeal if there ever was one, plays the estranged daughter of police captain Aldo Ray. When she falls in with the wrong crowd of hot-rodding, pot smoking kids, theres going to be trouble on the Sunset Strip. This movie is ludicrously old fashioned (producer Sam Katzman had been in the business since 1914) but its also strangely vital and exciting. A lot of the credit goes to Mimsy, whose LSD freakout dance sequence is a highlight of human history. If there was a drug that could make life exactly like this movie I would smoke it every day. Featuring The Chocolate Watchband, The Standells and The Enemies. Plus King Of Fuzz Davie Allan brings his guitar to the party. Miss this and youre just stupid! (Lars Nilsen)
PINBALL SUMMER Dir. George Mihalka, 1980, 88 min, R, 35mm RZ 7/20

You know this type of movie. In the early to mid 80s they were all over the paycable networks - teen comedies that featured no actual teenagers and very little that would be recognized as comedy outside a kindergarten or head trauma ward. A few of these T&A comedies were better than expected and a some were even worse. PINBALL SUMMER may actually be the worst of this sad lot. It makes HOLLYWOOD HIGH look like BRINGING UP BABY. But even a three-legged dog has its own eccentric charm. Like the earlier WW favorite SUPERVAN it attempts to capitalize on a marginal fad, in this case the short-lived pinball craze that swept the world for about three months in 1979. Its all there: the nerds, the threatening biker gang, the two cool dudes who just want to have fun and of course the gumsmacking girls who rip their tops off for no reason at all. (Lars Nilsen)

WEIRD WEDNESDAY
MR. SCARFACE Dir. Fernando Di Leo, 1976, 85 min, R, 35mm RZ 7/27
Casual brutality alternates with vulgar comedy in one of the most entertaining Italian crime movies ever made, as should be expected from Fernando Di Leo, the grand master of the form. Jack Palance plays a bad, bad man who runs a neighborhood crime syndicate in Rome. But when a series of small outrages escalates to an all-out war he proves no match for a couple of slacker kids (Harry Baer and Al Cliver) with a dune buggy and an over-the-hill consigliere (the great Vittorio Caprioli) who still remembers the old days and the old ways. While not a comedy as such, this film contains more laugh out loud scenes than all but the very best comedies. But it also delivers shocking, intense violence and a pungent ambience redolent of sleazy pool halls and greasy hair tonic. I cant recommend this movie highly enough. This is pulp art at its very best. (Lars Nilsen)
THE FRIGHTENED WOMAN Dir. Piero Schivazappa 1969, 108 min, R, 35mm RZ 8/10
Its movies like this that make me want to pack up my belongings, grow a little bitty mustache, put on a white linen suit and move to Europe. I can pretty much guarantee that youll never see an S&M soap opera like this rolling out of Hollywood anytime between now and the first extreme snowboarding championship in Hell. Bodacious Dagmar Lassander stars as an ingenue learning the ropes (literally) from satanic Phillipe Leroy, whose whole crib is like Six Flags for perverts. The door into and out of the sex gym is in the shape of a giant vulva between two giant sculpted legs! Now that our whole country seems to be slipping into some kind of Puritan Dark Age, those of us with sex drives need to pick up the slack for the rest of America. Wont you join us in our crusade? (Lars Nilsen)
TRUCK TURNER Dir. Jonathan Kaplan, 1974, 91 min, R, 35mm RZ 8/3

If theres a better blaxploitation movie than TRUCK TURNER we havent found it and weve looked! Isaac Hayes turns on the charm as a legendary bounty hunter with a short temper. When he takes down a psychopathic pimp named Gator, he inadvertantly creates a power vacuum in the Los Angeles prostitution scene. Then Gators bottom woman Nichelle (Lt. Uhura) Nichols (who should have gotten the Oscar, seriously) offers Gators orphaned whores to any mack who can take down Truck Turner. Soon theres an open war in the streets between the wisecracking, beer-guzzling Turner and a coalition of over the top pimps, the most dangerous being Yaphet Kottos intense Harvard Blue. Every line of dialogue in this movie is suitable for framing. With over 75,000 instances of the N-word, and the most creative use of profanity in movie history. To top it off, theres an Isaac Hayes score and Scatman Crothers as an elderly, but still active, pimp. It just cant get better than this. It cant! (Lars Nilsen)
THE OUTFIT Dir. John Flynn, 1973, 103 min, R, 35mm RZ 8/17
One of the greatest crime films ever made, THE OUTFIT has lingered in a sort of semi-obscure twilight for far too long. Like John Flynns other great movie ROLLING THUNDER, THE OUTFIT is built on great performances. Robert Duvall shows why hes an actors actor as he plays a man avenging his brothers death at the hands of the mob. He teams up with his former partner Joe Don Baker to rob the mob at their card games and collection points until he collects an amount of money he deems sufficient for his loss, or until they pay him off. It may sound like a simple enough plot, and it is, but Duvalls character study of a tough con detached from his moorings and doing what he has to do is masterful. Hes like a walking suit of armor with no man inside it. The supporting cast includes many noir stalwarts such as Robert Ryan, Elisha Cook, Marie Windsor, and in fact most of the cast of Stanley Kubricks THE KILLING. The great cinematic madman Timothy Carey is memorable as a low-level mob enforcer who gets dealt with by Duvall in a very personal way. (Lars Nilsen)
JULIE DARLING Dir. Paul Nicolas, 1981, 35MM, 100 Min, R, 35mm RZ 8/24
Shell blow you - then shell blow you away! Ive never had kids and I never will. Ive watched enough movies to know theyre bad news. Even if they arent possessed by the devil, they still learn to hate you and all you stand for - even as they eat all your food and wreck your sex life! If I ever waver in my determination to remain childfree, Ill just thread this movie up and feel my testes retract. An otherwise unknown actress named Isabelle Mejias gives a performance to remember as a daughter with a serious daddy hang up. Theres not a huge volume of physical violence in the film but the spriritual violence wrought by the cunning and manipulative teenager is hellishly intense. Starring Anthony Franciosa as the lucky dad and Teutonic Amazon Sybil Danning as the girls unfortunate new step-mom. Its only appropriate to warn you that the wrong-meter goes into the red here several times, which is just where we like it! (Lars Nilsen)
CHOOSE YOUR OWN WEIRD WEDNESDAY Dir. ?, 35mm RZ 8/31

YOU MUST CHOOSE! Since its inception, the Weird Wednesday Choose Your Own Adventure Night has been a virtual guarantor of cinematic strangeness far beyond even our own Wildest Dreams. Heres how it works: we pull three movies from the vaults, Ill fill you in a bit on the details, then you, the audience, will choose the movie by applauding. As always, we have some awesome movies set aside for just such an occasion. Choose Your Own Weird Wednesday is one of the great, though irregularly scheduled, traditions of this series. Some of the best, wrongest and just plain awkward moments in my life (Anybody remember the chugging magenta meat of COUNTRY HOOKER?) have been at Choose Your Own Weird Wednesday nights. This year make your voice heard! And dont come sniffing around looking for hints about which movies will be in the mix cause Ill just make some shit up. (Lars Nilsen)

THE ACTION PACK
STARSHIP TROOPERS
Normally, the Alamo frowns on people who talk or text or disrupt the uninterrupted viewing experience in any way, but when The Action Pack takes over the room to celebrate a pop culture classic those rules no longer apply. The Action Pack screens favorite films and infuses them with subtitled quotes so everyone can cry out their favorite lines in unison, props so we can shoot cap guns at the screen along with our favorite action stars, and preshow antics and games that turn the theater into a party before the event has even begun.
TEAM AMERICA QUOTE-ALONG Dir. Trey Parker, 2004, NC-17, 98 min RZ 7/4 : VL 7/6 : LC 7/13
America! Fuck yeah! The world is a different place than it was seven years ago when this comic puppetry masterpiece first hit the screen, but Bin Ladens death is just an extra reason to join us as we quote-and-sing-along with the bravest marionnettes ever. (Henri Mazza)
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE SING-ALONG Dir. The Action Pack, 120 min, DVD RZ 6/30, 7/7, 7/14 : LC 7/7 : VL 7/20
Whatever, Bieber. When I hear Justin I will forever assume that the speaker is referring to the greatest entertainer alive - Justin Timberlake. Yeah, he picks some strange roles for movies, but when he leaves the acting at home and gets on stage to sing and dance? He definitely brings Sexy back. (Henri Mazza)
COMMANDO Dir. Mark L. Lester, 1985, 35mm & Blu-ray RZ 7/14, 7/21, 7/28
If theres a mission that no man could survive... then John Matrix is the man for the job. The retired elite commando is enjoying his time off with his daughter in the mountains of northern KahLeeFornia when he catches wind that someone is killing off all of his former squad mates. When a supposedly dead, former elite, dishonorably discharged commando partner, Bennett, kidnaps Matrixs daughter in an attempt to blackmail him into one last job--to overthrow a democracy and reinstate a Marxist dictator--John Matrixs response is shooting Bennetts henchman and chasing him down. Somewhere... somehow... someones going to pay. What soon follows is a barrage of non stop gun fights, fisticuffs, and explosions. Well be emptying our bag of Action Pack tricks for these screenings, complete with live explosions in the theater, subtitles so we can all quote-along with the best lines, cap guns and other props to shoot-along with Arnold, and you can be DAMN sure well let off some steam at the end of the flick. (Greg MacLennan)

THE ACTION PACK
TALLADEGA NIGHTS QUOTE-ALONG Dirs. D. M. Jones & M. Angel, 1975, 85 min, R, Blu-ray RZ 8/4, 8/11 : VL 8/10 : LC 8/11, 8/17
Shake and bake! Its NASCAR season! And that means the newborn baby Jesus wants us all to revel in the ballad of Ricky Bobby. As always with Will Ferrell, we can guarantee a TON of subtitled quotes on screen, because hes just a big hairy American winning machine, you know? (Henri Mazza)
ULTIMATE ROCK SING-ALONG Dir. The Action Pack, 2011, 120 min, DVD VL 7/13 : LC 7/21 : RZ 7/21, 7/28
Weve ordered a huge amount of lighters and inflatable guitars to hand out for this show, and youre gonna need all of em to rock out with this mix of Journey, Queen, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, AC/DC and sooo much more. You will be rocked like a hurricane and well all get wild, wild, wild until the final countdown. (Henri Mazza)
POP PRINCESS SING-ALONG Dir. The Action Pack, 2011, 120 min, DVD RZ 8/4, 8/11, 8/18, 8/25 : LC 8/4, 8/25 : VL 8/17, 8/31
The first time we built a Pop Princess party it was all about Britney, Christina and some Spice Girls. Nowadays were also bringing in all sorts of Gaga, some Beyonce, Rihanna, and all of their friends. Putting the party together is going to be easy. Geting into our outfits to host the show? Not so easy. (Henri Mazza)
STARSHIP TROOPERS Dir. Paul Verhoeven, 1997, 129 MIN, R, 35MM LC 8/3 : RZ 8/18, 8/25 : VL 8/24
I cant quite believe it, but according to our records the ONLY time the Alamo Drafthouse has ever screened STARSHIP TROOPERS was for a two-night engagement four years ago when they were smart enough to book it for a couple of midnights at Lake Creek. But that means its still NEVER been on screen in downtown Austin, and thats utterly ridiculous. Fortunately, the Action Pack is on it. Paul Verhoeven, every mans favorite director for packing more boobs into SHOWGIRLS than we thought humanly possible, teams up with screenwriter Ed Neumeier, who hed previously collaborated with for ROBOCOP, and their take on Robert A. Heinleins novel became an instant cult classic. And even though Casper Van Dien does his very best to ruin the film, a post-Doogie, pre-Harold & Kumar Neil Patrick Harris owns as a psychic who can kill space bugs with mind bombs. We wont have mind bombs in the theater (other than alcohol), but youll have plenty of opportunities to shoot-along and more. (Henri Mazza)
CYBER SEDUCTION: HIS SECRET LIFE in HeckleVision! Dir. Tom McLoughlin, 2005, 87 min, DVD LC 8/24 : VL 8/31
On its surface, HeckleVision is simply another way we can all interact with the screen by having any and all texts we send in appear on the screen along with the movie. But that technology with this Lifetime movie about a mother struggling with her sons addiction to Internet porn will be Horrible Movie Heaven. (Henri Mazza)
THE BIG LEBOWSKI QUOTE-ALONG Dir. Joel and Ethan Coen, 1998, R, 117 min, Blu-ray SL Every Monday night
Join us every Monday night for our celebration of all things Lebowski. Well have a giant-sized bowling game on stage before the film, and a bunch of props to help make the best moments of the film come to life. After the film, join us at the Highball for real bowling and White Russian specials!
GREASE SING-ALONG Dir. Randall Kleiser, 1978, 110 min, PG-13 VL 7/6, 8/10 : LC 7/28, 8/18
Last summer, Paramount produced a subtitled re-release of Grease that took Sing-Along subtitles to a whole new level. This summer, The Action Pack is bringing it back in all its electrifying glory! So hop in your Greased Lightning and drive on down to the Alamo because we were born to hand jive, baby!

MASTER PANCAKE
NEW MOON
The boys of Master Pancake Theater have won awards for being the funniest comics in Austin for years now, and if you STILL havent found your way out to one of their hilarious evenings of movie mocking entertainment then Im not sure we can be friends anymore. John Erler, Joe Parsons, and a rotating cast of comics pick out bad movies and golden calfs alike and then skewer them all with pointed commentary, unparalleled wit, and, of course, fart jokes.
Master Pancake mocks NEW MOON Dir. Chris Weitz, 2009 LC 7/8-7/9 : RZ 7/15-16, 7/22-23, 7/29-30
We couldnt leave well enough alone. This July, by popular demand, Master Pancake sink their teeth into the TWILIGHT sequel thats even more ridiculous than the original, TWILIGHT: NEW MOON (2009). If you thought our mock of the first Twilight was fun, wait til you see us lay into this crazy-ass movie: TNM has moodier Edwards, buffer Jacobs, more Bella lip-biting action, a spontaneous trip to Italy, and a creepy floating Robert Pattinson visage that haunts Bellas every move. For the curious whove never actually had the guts to watch it, this is the excuse youve been waiting for. For those who have already seen NEW MOON, you know that it deserves the Pancake treatment big time. So whether youre on Team Edward, Team Jacob or Team I Dont Give a F*** About This Movie, youll love Master Pancakes comedic take on this modern-day vampire classic. (John Erler)
STAR TREK MOCK VI: UHURA vs TROI RZ 7/26

Tonight, in the sixth iteration of their popular Star Trek debates/TV parties, Master Pancake will be boldly mocking the greatest sci-fi television series of all time: STAR TREK. And because we cant agree on which is the best iteration of the show (JOHN is a fan of original STAR TREK; JOE loves NEXT GENERATION) well be showing and mocking one episode of each. Past formats have included Kirk vs Picard, Spock vs Data and Old Klingons vs New Klingons. This time around well be pitting Lt. Uhura against Deanna Troi to see who is the least-uselesss scantily-clad communications facilitator on the bridge. The hysterical SCOTT CHESTER will be on hand to arbitrate. The only losers will be fans of the lame-ass VOYAGER, DEEP SPACE NINE, and ENTERPRISE, not to mention BABYLON FIVE and STARGATE.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN PANCAKE SL 8/14

Once again, its time for CHOOSE YOUR OWN PANCAKE where you, the viewer, get to pick a movie for Master Pancake to mock, and then we make it up right there on the spot, including the skit! Heres how it works: just bring the DVD of your choice, well narrow it down to our top favorites, then the audience will vote on which of those they want to see. Be prepared to give a short speech in defense of your movie. The audience has final say. Previous winners include: White Comanche, Logans Run, Left Behind, Face/Off, A View to a Kill, and Waterworld! What will be the pick this time around? Whatever it is, its up to you! CYOP is always a fun night, with lots of audience participation and the thrill of seeing a movie mock invented right before your eyes.
Master Pancake mocks THE BREAKFAST CLUB Dir. John Hughes, 1985 RZ 8/19-20 & 8/26-27
This August, as the world goes back to school, Master Pancake heads to the classroom to throw spitballs at THE BREAKFAST CLUB (1985). Starring puffy-lipped princess Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez and most of the rest of the Brat Pack as a quintet of misfits stuck in detention one fateful afternoon. As always, the Master Pancakers will artfully ridicule the 80s fashion, sentimentality, and general preposterousness of the film, but nevertheless, many will still leave convinced that if we just talk to each other we can overcome all social barriers and that a Jock can fall in love with a Cure fan. Come out this August and laugh derisively on the outside while your spirit is uplifted on the inside as Master Pancake rips up THE BREAKFAST CLUB. (John Erler)

REPERTORY REVIVAL
BLUE VELVET
Repertory Revival is the heart of everything we strive for at the Alamo. On these pages youll find a collection of signature series, each of them dedicated to bringing back different types of films and presenting them on screen with the best possible presentation. From Girlie Night to Zzang!!!, there is definitely something for every movie lover, and if thats not you then why are you wasting your time reading a list of programming at a movie theater?
Girlie Night TROOP BEVERLY HILLS Dir. Jeff Kanew, 1989, PG, 100 min, 35mm LC 7/6 : RZ 7/12, 7/19
Seriously, I really hope the President of Girl Scouts comes to the Girlie Night screening of TROOP BEVERLY HILLS and takes detailed notes so that future generations of girls can learn the important life skills imparted by Mrs. Nefler, including How to Do the Freddie, The Right Way to Wear Khaki and Avoid Stylists Named Renaldo. Plus, is there any better way to sell cookies than by donning a Tina Turner wig and singing Cookie Time? I DONT THINK SO. This months Girlie Night will most definitely be a celebration of khaki riches and cookie dreams. I absolutely cannot wait to watch this movie with a roomful of people who hate those effing Red Feathers as much as I do. I also challenge everyone to wear khaki (although I do hope at least one person shows up wrapped in animal print a la Vicki Sprantz) and make sure to prepare your best Rosa accent so we can yell, all together, Patches? We dont need no stinking patches!(Sarah Pitre)
THE ULTIMATE DELIVERANCE CANOE TRIP Dir. John Boorman, 1972, R, 35mm Rolling Roadshow 7/9
Its the return of one of our all-time favorite roadshows. LIVE the DELIVERANCE adventure! Ok, we should clarify: You actually only live the best parts of the Deliverance adventure... which means enjoying a lazy day of paddling on the Guadalupe, drinking beer, stopping along the river banks as the sun starts to set, drinking more beer, and then watching the ultimate hillbilly canoeing movie under the stars! Oh yeah, and just before the film well be serving up a dinner of whole slow-roasted, spit-fired pig with all the fixins! So, break out your bows and your banjos and prepare for a squeal-filled day of awesome! Space is limited, so get your tickets early. Meet up and screening will take place at the Guadalupe Canoe Livery on Highway 281 North, conveniently situated between Austin and San Antonio.

ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED W/ MANY BIRTHDAYS Dir. Lotte Reiniger, 1926, 65 min, 35mm RZ 7/24
Few films can lay claim to a visual aesthetic as wholly unique and pure as this one. Made in 1926, it is the oldest surviving animated film, but its as timeless as tomorrow. Artist Lotte Reiniger painstakingly created a world in silhouette, inspired by Balinese shadow puppetry, using cardboard cutouts, animated with great skill and care. Its like being carried away by a beautiful dream as we follow Prince Achmed, mounted atop a magical flying horse, who overcomes trial after trial to defeat an evil sorcerer and win the hand of a princess. Few subsequent films have been able to achieve a fraction of PRINCE ACHMEDs wonder even with a budget of many millions more. The score will be provided by Many Birthdays, who, in their words, encompass dance, punk, cinema, noise, beats, words, color and texture using drums, echos, distortion and paint. Their shows are a mixture of voices, instruments, projected video, English and Japanese, chaos and construction. Join us for an evening of music, light and magic.

Big Screen Classics: FULL METAL JACKET Dir. Stanley Kubrick, 1987, R, 116 min, 35mm VL 7/27
Stanly Kubrick takes on Vietnam with results that are intriguingly humorous and ingenuously brutal. This isnt your average war movie. This movie is insane, insane in only a captivating way that Kubrick could pull off. There can be no doubt in your mind having seen this film that as clich as it can sound: war is hell; an absurd, tedious, bloody, wet-your-pants hell. The performances here deserve to be revisited on the big screen. From LAW AND ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENTs Vincent DOnofrio to real-life drill instructor R. Lee Ermey, the performances are perfectly matched with the directing both are mesmerizing. Experience this subversive and powerful American triumph July at the Alamo! (John Gross)

Kids Club: THE PUPPETOON MOVIE Dir. Arnold Leibovit, 1987, 90 min, G, 35mm SL 7/30
Before computers showed up, animators had a real tough job. Filmmakers worked day and night with theirwhat were those things called?...HANDS and SKILLS to create unique visions and enduring characters. They used pen and ink, paint, clay and whatever else they could get a hold of. One enterprising fella named George Pal took it even further and invented a whole new method of animating, named puppetoons. Pals colorful, immortal shorts featured intricately carved and beautifully painted figures and backdrops, and included beloved characters like Tubby the Tuba and a ton youve never seen before. Join your host Gumby (!!!) on a rarely-seen tour of the incredible work of this overlooked legend! NOTE: Though this collection was released in 1987 with a G rating, a very small section of the material is from the 40s and reflects some of the stereotypes of the era. But dont worry, your kids are smarter than you think. They can handle it!
Cinema Club: BELL BOOK & CANDLE w/ Marc Savlov Dir. Richard Quine, 1958, NR, 106 min, 35mm RZ 7/31
In 1958, Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak starred as romantic leads together in two movies. One was Alfred Hitchocks VERTIGO. The other was the unjustly overshadowed, utterly brilliant comedy about urban witchcraft, BELL BOOK AND CANDLE. Novak, always the striking beauty, plays a Manhattan-dwelling enchantress; her muggle crush is none other than the unhinge-able Jimmy Stewart. They are ably supported by the witch/warlock team of Jack Lemmon and Elsa Lanchester (BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN) and Ernie Kovacs as one of the cinemas greatest drunks. The chemistry Stewart and Novak developed in VERTIGO, perhaps the most poignant in screen history, seems to be awkwardly draped over the two stars in this film, and the juxtaposition of Hitchcockian-dynamics in a light comedy makes for one of the most bizarre experiences of the 1950s. The Cinema Club presents this with the help of Austin Chronicle film critic Marc Savlov, who calls this his favorite film of all time. (Daniel Metz)
Asian Invasion: THE HEROIC TRIO Dir. Johnny To, 1993, 88 min, R, 35mm, $5 RZ 7/31
It took Hong Kong to make the 90s cool. Every second of this film is saturated with the distilled essence of the Lollapalooza decade. Director Johnny To and action choreographer Ching Siu Tung go all out to make the biggest, silliest, most bombastic action movie that the minimal budget would permit and they succeed. Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung and Anita Mui play a trio of futuristic superwomen who trace a baby kidnapping ring back to an Evil Dark Lord (Yee Kwan Yan) and his ruthless henchman (the great Anthony Wong). The action sequences are huge, cheap and completely over the top. Every law of physics is disregarded in this comic book come to life. Highly recommended! (Lars Nilsen)
Sommelier Cinema: THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH Dir. Billy Wilder, 1955, NR, 105 min, 35mm RZ 8/3 w/Eric Pelegrin
Its hot. Texas in August hot. And while we sit out on patios this season, theres often a struggle to figure out which wines to reach for. Are we constricted simply to young whites, nestled in a bucket of ice? Wine seller Eric Pelegrin (from Travis Heights Beverage World) is here to show us that there is a world of wines out there to enjoy in the oppressive heat of a Texas summer. Well be serving the perfect summer white, sure, but also some ros and even a red that will change your attitude toward what a summertime glass of wine can be. And as you sip well also enjoy a quintessential summer movie, the Marilyn Monroe sex-comedy THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH. Tom Ewell stars as a New York City executive whose wife and child are away for the summer. In the heat of the city, living in his empty apartment, he meets a new neighbor: the impossibly gorgeous Monroe. If Manhattan in August isnt hot enough, Monroe adds another layer of steam-heat to Ewells life. Sommelier Cinema is sponsored by Antonellis Cheese Shop, who provides cheese pairings to each event.

Zzang!!!: The ROBOCOP Reverse Marathon! Dir. Various, 1987 1993, 323 min, R, 35mm RZ 8/7
THE CRAZIEST ZZANG EVENT IN HISTORY!!! In 1987, action and sci-fi collided in a nuclear blast, scarring the mean streets of New Detroit for eternity. Suddenly, every pusher, rapist, scumbag and nuke-head was up against their worst nightmare: Bionic Justice. Semi-murdered officer Murphy was scientifically resurrected, armed with impenetrable armor and an unquenchable thirst for public service. The 1987 release of ROBOCOP shook the foundations of Hollywood, forever reshaping our expectations of full-powered, conscience-free, bullet-riddled big screen excitement. Two violencepacked sequels followed but weve decided to save the best for last! Yep, were going to kick off this triple-fisted backwards celluloid rampage with the universally maligned ROBOCOP 3, where our hero jet-packs through the sky while battling a superninja! Then on to the hated-and-underrated ROBOCOP 2, where Murphy takes on multiple crazed megabots and a drug-spazzed crime empire! Then the grand finale: the unstoppable, unbeatable, unbelievable, un-remake-able ultimate action onslaught of ROBOCOP!! Id buy that for a dollar! ZZANG!!!
Big Screen Classics: BLUE VELVET 25th Anniversary Dir. David Lynch, 1986, R, 120 min, 35mm RZ 8/8, 8/9, 8/14
Frank Booth, the coolest person ever to grace a movie screen, had a lot of things going for him. He was a criminal. He was played by legendary madman Dennis Hopper. He really knew how to make love (heres a tip: it involves gas masks and violent dry-humping). And he didnt drink Heineken; the only thing that touched his lips (aside from poorly applied lipstick) was PABST BLUE RIBBON. In honor of the 25th anniversary of BLUE VELVET, were bringing back one of our favorite film and drink pairings, where we show the classic David Lynch film and let the PBR flow freely. The film is one of the greatest bizarre, seedy-under-the-surface stories ever told, directed masterfully by Lynch at his absolute peak. Starring Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, and Laura Dern.
SLACKER Dir. Richard Linklater, 1991, R, 97 min, 35mm RZ 8/10, 8/17

By now, youve probably heard about this huge SLACKER 2011 project weve concocted with our friends at Austin Film Society. If not, heres the idea in a nutshell: weve commissioned twenty-four of Austins best filmmakers to remake scenes from the iconic film, and were combining it all together to create a remake that shows the changing face of Austin and celebrates its diverse filmmaking community. The finished film premieres on August 31st at the Paramount, and all proceeds go towards the Texas Filmmakers Production Fund. In anticipation of that, were showing the original film for anyone interested in revisiting that before they catch the remake. At both of the screenings, well be premiering new remade scenes, and the filmmakers will be live to present their work. Part of the proceeds for this event will go toward the Texas Film Production Fund. Watch for the remake on our screens in September!
Girlie Night: SHES ALL THAT Dir. Robert Iscove, 1999, PG-13, 95 min LC 8/10 : VL 8/17 : RZ 8/23, 8/30
SHES ALL THAT is not something you would classify as visionary cinema. The plot, ugly duckling turns beautiful swan, has been used a billion times before, as has the storyline of guy pursues girl in order to win a bet and - surprise! he falls in love with her. I dont love this movie because its original. I love it because it takes all of my favorite teen movie cliches and flaunts the shizz out of them. SHES ALL THAT reads like a laundry list of why teen film is my favorite genre. Its got a girl whos ugly because she wears glasses, a spontaneous choreographed dance at the prom, a wise-cracking kid brother, a miraculous makeover, a beach volleyball montage, a tender father-daughter moment and a sappy pop song to tie it all together (Sixpence None the Richers Kiss Me). As if that wasnt enough, its also full of late 90s teen royalty like Freddie Prinze Jr, Rachel Leigh Cook, Matthew Lillard, Gabrielle Union, Clea DuVall and even Usher as the school DJ (thats right, the school has a DJ). Its the ultimate guilty pleasure movie, and well celebrate it, minus the guilt, at Girlie Night with themed cocktails and plenty of 90s nostalgia. Falafel hats are encouraged!
Cinema Club: SHADOW OF A DOUBT w/ Tom Schatz Dir. Alfred Hitchcock, 1943, 108 min, 35mm RZ 8/21
At times Hitchcock referred to SHADOW OF A DOUBT as his favorite of his own films. If you only know the Hitchcock of PSYCHO, THE BIRDS, REAR WINDOW, etc. you may be surprised by the lightness of touch Hitch displays in SHADOW OF A DOUBT. Its the story of a girls fascination with her sainted Uncle Charlie, and the gradual realization that he may not be what he appears when he pays the family a visit. The All-American small-town setting is well sketched (credit that expert on small town America, screenwriter Thornton Wilder) and the performances by leads Joseph Cotten and Teresa Wright are transcendent. The two are able to convey an almost telepathic understanding of one another, and the conflict of the film plays itself out in their eyes, in tiny turns of phrase, and in gesture. Hitchcock and his cast pull off some of the most refined work ever done in any film here, and it all adds up to one of the most satisfying movies of Hollywoods golden era. We will be joined by author and Texas film professor Dr. Thomas Schatz to provide background and insight into one of Hollywoods brightest hours. (Lars Nilsen)

V.H.S. Video Hate Squad!: NASTY HERO Dir. Nick Barwood, 1990, 79 min, PG-13, VHS!!! RZ 8/21
ATTENTION ALL HATERS AND/OR DECAPITATORS! On August 21, a feast of wildassedness will be visited upon us when the Ritz VCR projectile vomits forth the bounty of holy manna known as NASTY HERO! Similar to the ancient astronauts who retreated to their stars after blessing us with the pyramids, little is known about the people responsible for this masterpiece. They could be otherworldlyor they could be cokedup assholes. Chock full of villains out of 90210, a parade of outrageously hideous cars, and aneurysm-inducing pop, this is pretty much what it would have been like if Nagel had made an action movie! It shakes the hell out of you like a babysitter with no credentials! Scott Feraco stars as Chase, a man sent to prison for a crime that he didnt commit. But now hes back, and more importantly hes NASTY!!! Also stars the consummate Mike Starr and Robert Sedgwick. If you have yet to see this masterpiece, were offering you the opportunity to atone! So DO IT or DIIIIIIIE! (Max)
Free Kids Club: 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA Dir. Richard Fleischer, 1954, 127 min, G, 35mm SL 8/27
Walt Disney Studios very first live action spectacular is also widely regarded as one of the most beloved Technicolor masterpieces, ranking beside THE WIZARD OF OZ in the pantheon of great family films. One of the most thunderous epics to ever thrill a kid, and an inspiration to budding imaginations across seven decades!
IT w/ Live Piano Accompaniment by Reese Gray Dir. Clarence G. Badger, 1927, NR, 72 min, 35mm RZ 8/28
It is that quality possessed by some which draws all others with its magnetic force. With It you win all men if you are a woman and all women if you are a man. Thus begins this magnificent sex farce about that indefinable quality that separates the lovers from the losers. IT features mega-starlet Clara Bow (yes, the Clara Bow from that football team rumor) as a shopgirl who has It all over her. Its a classic silent comedy brought to life by the undeniable charisma of Bow, who was known as the quintessential flapper and the leading sex symbol of the late 1920s. Playing along with the film is accomplished stride pianist Reese Gray. Gray is a member of The White Ghost Shivers and the East Side Dandies, and his technique harkens back to the New York style of the 20s and 30s. This screening is co-presented by Vintage Vivant, a monthly jazz-age dance party at the Swan Dive; theyll be throwing their Vamps and Tramps party immediately after the film. (Daniel Metz)
Asian Invasion: SHAOLIN INVINCIBLES Dir. Cheng Hou, 1981, 90 min, NR, 35mm, $5 RZ 8/28
This ridiculous old school kung fu jam features some of the craziest fight scenes ever. Anybody want to see some kung fu gorillas? How about evil wizards with two-foot-long protruding tongues? Judy Lee (QUEEN BOXER) and Doris Chen play two young women who learn Shaolin kung fu to avenge their families and overthrow a corrupt king. The plot is nothing to write home about, but the movie is fast paced and unintentionally funny. The voice actors who provided the dubbing may have been drunk and the whole movie feels slightly delirious, like the studio was pumped full of nitrous oxide. From the director of KUNG FU HALLOWEEN. Dumb! Fun! Thanks to Quentin Tarantino for the rare 35mm print. (Lars Nilsen)

WORLD FAMOUS RICKY POWELL SLIDESHOW RZ 7/20

Not only was Ricky Powell on the scene with his camera during the rise of hip hop in the 80s, he was part of that same scene as the unofficial house photographer at Def Jam and as the fourth Beastie Boy. Though his photographs are now accepted and respected by the art world, hes still living the wild style. And now hes touring with a slideshow of some of his best photographs and uncensored stories about the movers and shakers of hip hop and popular culture in general. Heres a snippet of the Billboard review of his All Tomorrows Parties appearance: For two-and-a half hours, Powell -- a fixture of New York rap and art scene -- downed tequila shots while he gave a first-hand account of hip-hops 80s rise, dished about the celebs on his d*ck (Cindy Crawford, Chris Rock), and told outrageous stories about the freaky bitches he met during his weed-dealing days. Powell grew more open (as he put it) as the event went on, and only ceased his tirade when the mic was forcibly removed from his hand. Sounds fun. Seatbelts will not be provided.
HORROR REMIX: BOAT SHOW LC 7/27

Horror Remix Presents BOAT SHOW 2 hours of deadly waters! It is officially Summer and were all looking to beat the heat. Most people will take to an ocean or lake.

AUTEURS SANS FRONTIRES: DIRECTORS WITHOUT BORDERS

Directors who leave the comfort of their own homeland to make films run risks of failure. But they can also uncover stories, themes, and characters that surprise and entertain us. This series will look at eight masterful films which were made by directors working in countries other than their native one, with one exception, a documentary about Henri-George Clouzots failure to make INFERNO, as the borders he crossed were those leading to madness and failure. We will see a film about a French woman living in Cameroon, a mid-1950s crime film made by an American exiled to France, a French film set in Russia with a Serbian director as protagonist, a beautiful Brazilian classic film made by a French director, a thought-provoking Spanish film made in Bolivia, a mysterious film of identity by world-class Polish director Kieslowski, and an intriguing exploration of identity and relationships in Tuscany in a film by Iranian director Kiarostami. It is probably no accident that many of these films have some kind of French connection, since that is the country most welcoming to international directors with fascinating stories to put on the screen. Also, two of the films were directed by women, which is fortunately less rare these days. All films are in 35mm with one exception in Blu-Ray. Chale Nafus
EVEN THE RAIN (Tambin la Lluvia) Dir. Icar Bollan, Spain/France/Mexico/Bolivia 2011, 103 min, 35mm : SL 7/5
An international film crew begins recreating some of the early episodes of the Spanish conquests in the New World. Since there are no surviving Tainos whom Columbus first encountered in the Caribbean, then Quechua-speaking people of Cochabamba, Bolivia will have to suffice. But in the middle of the filming a real-life drama is unfolding as the people of Cochabamba struggle to regain their water rights from an international corporation. Daniel, the young man playing Hatuey, leader of an early rebellion against the conquistadores, also leads the community in the struggle for water. The film brilliantly interweaves parallels from the 16th and 21st centuries, showing how the exploitation continues once for gold, now for water.
HENRI-GEORGES CLOUZOTS INFERNO Dirs. Serge Bromberg and Ruxandra Medrea, France, 2009 (1964), 94 min, 35mm : SL 7/12
Henri-Georges Clouzot was one of the major French auteurs of the pre-New Wave generation. With DIABOLIQUES and THE WAGES OF FEAR, he took psychological drama into areas likewise mined by Hitchcock. INFERNO was to be his most experimental film a plunge into the psychology of a man driven mad by obsessive jealousy. But with a tight deadline caused by a lake about to be drained, Clouzot was driven to having a heart attack and having to abandon the project. Fifty years later film preservationist Serge Bromberg fortuitously discovered footage of nearly 13 hours of tests and principal scenes. With recreations, interviews, and archival film Bromberg has created a fascinating document of an unfinished masterpiece.
AFS Doc Tour :THE FIRST MOVIE Dir. Mark Cousins, UK, 2009, 35mm : RZ 7/13
An Irish filmmaker helps the children of a Kurdish village make movies about their own lives.
THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VERONIQUE (La double vie de Veronique) Dir. Krzysztof Kieslowski, France/Poland, 1991 98 min, Blu-Ray : SL 7/19
Two women, two lives, two dreams, all mysteriously linked. Veronika in Poland and Veronique in Paris are somehow linked same birth date, same musical talent, same heart problems, same dreams. They never meet (except for one brief puzzling glimpse). One life ends, the other continues but always with a mysterious feeling of some indistinct connection with another being. Polish filmmaker Kieslowski made a beautiful film with the amazing Irene Jacob playing dual roles, but he purposely left clear meanings outside the frame, so that we could just enjoy the beauty and the mystery of life and identity.
CERTIFIED COPY (Copie conforme) Dir. Abbas Kiarostami, France/Italy/Belgium, 2010, 106 min, 35mm : SL 7/26
Iranian filmmaker-in-exile, Abbas Kiarostami, has created a haunting film about a French woman living in Tuscany with her young son. After meeting a British author at his lecture, she spends the day with him in the village of Lucignano looking at art and copies of masterpieces, drinking wine, walking, and eventually shifting into the roles of husband and wife. The transition is so deftly accomplished that we are left wondering if they are truly a couple married for 15 years or strangers, certified copies, of such a couple. This is not the power shift of Bergmans PERSONA, but is an amazing film about identity and relations.

With a recording career spanning over two decades, Dale is basically a statehell, national treasure, rocking roadhouses and dance halls with his signature brand of honky tonk and country swing. This guy is the real deal, and once youve seen him, youll be back every week. And well have some $3 local beer waiting for you.
THE ACTION PACKS DANCE THROUGH THE DECADES Fridays at 10:30pm, Free
Every Friday night we steal The Action Pack and their huge collection of music videos away from the Sing-Alongs over at the Alamo Drafthouse so they can host a dance party of epic proportions in our very own ballroom. Theyll start each night with a little 70s disco, move up through the best of the 80s, and keep on going until 2am, when theyre playing the best music videos from the past 20 seconds. Get your drink on, and get ready to get sweaty with the Action Pack.

PARTY IN THE U.S. GAY July 3, 10pm, Free

Independence Day isnt just about fireworks and barbecue. Its also about appreciating our freedom, and we invite you to celebrate one of the most important rights we have as Americans: the right to dance your ass off! Well be playing some of the fiercest and most dancealicious music videos to get your patriotic feet moving, and our fabulous drag queen hostesses will make sure you work it! This Independence Day, pledge your allegiance to the dance floor.
THE ACTION PACKS 90s SCHOOL DANCE July 9, 10:30pm, Free

Everybody dance now! The Action Pack is setting the dial back to the glory days of the 1990s and leaving it there all night long with a mix of music videos, karaoke contests, junior high games, and prizes for the most 90s outfit at the dance. Some come decked out in slap bracelets, grungey flannel, brightly colored track suits with mismatched shapes on them, or just dig through your closet and try to find something authentic you can still fit into. And Regulators? Mount up!
The Superset presents DANCE BATTLE AT HOGWARTS July 15 & 16

Even though part of me refuses to believe that HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 marks the end of the Harry Potter films (because seriously, how will life go on?), weve decided to celebrate the film release with not one but two parties! Join us for a shindig of wizardly proportions and help us defeat Lord Voldemort through the power of trivia and dance! Dress up as your favorite character and journey with us to Hogwarts one more time. Muggles welcome!
NEW DAY SOUL PARTY July 23, 9pm, Free

The New Day showcases talent from the heaviest collectors in the soul & funk community nationwide while giving you an opportunity to bust a move on the dance floor. Come prepared to feel the groove as local DJs and special guests spin rare and classic soul on vintage vinyl. The New Day provides something special for people looking to hear lesser known soul music (and have a good time doing it).
The Superset presents the COWBOYS & ALIENS PARTY July 30, 10:30pm, Free
Here at the Highball, well take any excuse we can get to throw a costume party. And the release of COWBOYS AND ALIENS gives us not one but two great themes to play with! The SuperSet will transform our ballroom into a world straight out of science fiction and fill it with dazzling sights and slammin beats. Whether youre riding in from the Old West or landing from another planet, youll be blown away by a party that is truly out of this world.
FORMULA 1/10 July 31, 2pm, Free

Why should kids have all the fun? Weve decided to host our own adult version of the pinewood derby to give you the chance to experience the thrill and excitement of racing your very own (tiny) car. Buy a package to compete or simply come to enjoy the spectacle of grownass adults freaking out over small toy vehicles.
THE ACTION PACKS ALADDIN SING-ALONG Fridays in August, 9pm, $10

Typically the Action Pack hosts their Sing-Along events over at the Alamo, which makes sense since theres a full movie screen and surround sound system to take advantage of. But for ALADDIN theyre exclusively hosting events in a whole new world - the Highball ballroom! Rub your lamp, hop on your magic carpet, and join them for a new series thats guaranteed to be the stuff of legend.
KARAOKE APOCALYPSE August 6, 10pm, Free

Splice three parts musical chops and two parts we dont give a f*ck with an unabashed affection for catchy songs in all their cheesy, head-banging, sing-along glory, then turn the whole mess up to 11. Thats Karaoke Apocalypse with The Dead Motley Sex Maidens. With an ever growing catalog of punk, rock, and hair metal classics from the 70s and 80s, the Sex Maidens transform civilians into rock stars in three magic minutes.
