I kept telling Gary Kent about the Korean film "Parasite," and finally today I took him to see it at the Alamo Drafthouse-South Lamar, which I'd forgotten is now dedicated to the film's director, Bong Joon Ho. Gary agreed that "Parasite" is masterful storytelling.
(Oh, and don't forget Danger God, my doc about Gary's life and stunt career, is free to Amazon Prime members right now!)

George Rossitto was the manager of the Hollywood Shorties, a little person basketball team that was part athletics and part comedy. He was at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, for the premiere of the documentary Hollywood Shorties when he got photobombed outside the Alamo Drafthouse-Ritz.
This Alamo Draft house just recently opened up in South Austin. A great place for a movie, food and beer!

The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema was founded by Tim and Karrie League at 409 Colorado St, in an Austin, Texas warehouse-district building that was being used as a parking garage. The company began as a second-run movie theater, and distinguished itself by the food and drink service offered inside the theater, including cold beers. The seating is arranged with rows of cabaret style tables in front of each row of seats, with an aisle between each row to accommodate waiter service. Customers write their orders on slips of paper, which are picked up by black-clad waiters moving quietly between the rows. Soon after opening, the original downtown theater began offering occasional unique programming such as silent movies scored by local bands playing live accompaniment, food-themed films such as Like Water for Chocolate served with a dinner matching the meals shown on screen, and retrospectives of various directors and stars.[citation needed]
In 2001, the Leagues renovated a four-screen art-house theater at 2700 Anderson Lane in North Austin which had recently closed, and opened it as an Alamo Drafthouse which specialized in first-run movies. With this new Alamo Drafthouse Village, the downtown location ceased showing second-run movies and began to concentrate almost exclusively on unusual programming including classics, cult classics, independents, documentaries, special guest appearances, and audience participation shows.[citation needed]
In 2003, the Alamo Drafthouse, under the direction of new CEO Terrell Braly, moved even further north, to 13729 Research Blvd in far northwest Austin. The Alamo Drafthouse Lake Creek has seven screens, all dedicated to new movies. Almost simultaneously, the Alamo granted their first franchise, which opened in the West Oaks Mall in Houston, Texas

The Ritz, 6th Street, Austin, TX
Another image from last Saturday's photowalk on 6th street. The Ritz theater did an advanced screening of Robert Rodriguez's Predators movie during the SXSW Film Festival.
The Ritz has changed hands many times but recently a local movie theater chain called Alamo Drafthouse renovated and took over this building. The Alamo has several locations in town and what makes it unique is they serve a full lunch or dinner menu during the movie. The basically ripped out every other row of seats and replace them with long tables. You get to order and eat during your movie viewing experience. The food is pretty good too and not overpriced.
We ordered food and drinks and I know the story of Mayhem and my son likes black metal music and so we both knew this would be a brutal movie. I thought is was actually very good, but very, very graphic at parts. At one point my son had to leave the theater because he was feeling hot and faint. But I am always fascinated with the stories of musicians and their history. I did have some not so nice dreams last night though it was that disturbing.
The subject of my stuntman documentary DANGER GOD (it streams free now for Amazon Prime members) takes the wheel at the Overlook Hotel aka the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas. Gary Kent is chugging along at age 86.
I love the Alamo draft house. I love it not only because I can enjoy decent food and an adult beverage while I enjoy a great movie, but more so because of the whole "Alamo Experience". I can't really describe what that is, you just have to experience it. It's very 'Austin' like. Trust me.
This is yet another photograph taken during SXSW, although Sixth Street in Austin Texas doesn't look all that different on any weekend evening.
