Alamo Drafthouse is dead, long live the Alamo Drafthouse

How fitting, the 666th post is about today being the original Alamo Drafthouse’s last evening. I fear not because there will be a replacement on Sixth Street in September (say that three times quickly) where the old Ritz Theater used to be and we will continue to see first-run movies at the Village, South Lamar and Lake Creek Festival.

I’ll blather on about this Austin gem another day since I’ve been pressed for time. But remember, with my movie reviews; if the flick is great and watching it in a theater enhances the experience, then it will always be Alamo Worthy.

Update Jun. 28, 2007: Someone named Neil posted on this. I would appreciate it if this person sent me an e-mail me so I know which exact Neil and Ben is mentioned since the only Neal I can think of has an ‘a’ in his name and he doesn’t know the Ben I tend to associate with.

    Steve,

    We were just having a discussion about Cagney’s ‘Bogart nose picking’ story in the office, and you seem to be the only person in the world that knows it. Other than Ben who started the conversation and, crucially, only remembers that there was a story, not the punchline. Any chance of passing it on?

    Thanks
