Congratulations to the Alamo Drafthouse!

The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has been named the #1 movie theater in the country by Entertainment Weekly in their "10 Theaters Doing It Right" feature story (in this week's issue). EW dubs the venue "movie-geek heaven" and "one of America's most fanatically unique moviegoing experiences." Damn straight! Congrats to Alamo impresarios Tim & Karrie League on a job well done, and much deserved recognition.

As previously announced, I currently have the pleasure and privilege of teaming up with the Alamo for Fantastic Fest - our new sci-fi/fantasy/horror international genre film festival - which kicks off in less than two months. (We should be announcing our first batch of programming by month's end. It's gonna be good!) But prior to that, I'm looking forward to attending the 6th Quentin Tarantino Film Festival Sep. 9-17, followed immediately by the Firefly marathon on Sun., Sep. 18. But prior to all those events, I'm kicking myself (hard!) that I missed out on snagging tickets to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy Hobbit Feast, and wish like hell that I could tag along for the incredible Rolling Roadshow Tour, which promises to be nothing short of historic.
