Movies at Central Market

Here is the giant (actually about ten times bigger than it looks here) inflatable movie screen of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Rolling Roadshow before they showed Monty Python and the Holy Grail on Wednesday evening. The Rolling Roadshow is a very cool thing, and this year it has been out and about outside Austin as well as in. There is still time to see The Shining in the hotel where it was filmed in California next Friday, Raising Arizona in Arizona on Monday, and after that The Poseiden Adventure on a ship (hopefully not inverted) and (my favourite, I am jealous) Escape From Alcatraz, on August 26th, on Alcatraz itself. How cool is that? But we also enjoyed the knights who say "ni" and the other knights who have no horses only coconut shells and the French knights who pronounce the k and so on, on Wednesday.

The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema also have a campaign to save their downtown location, which is a very worthy cause you can support here.  ¶ posted by alice at 3:09 PM
