CINEMAPOCALYPSE

[thatguy]

I have a friend who lives in Austin, TX. They have an awesome theater called the Alamo Drafthouse. They do various movie fests including Fantastic Fest every fall: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fantasticfest.com/">http://www.fantasticfest.com/</a><!-- m -->

I've posted a few of his movie reviews here before. He just forwarded this link to me:

CINEMAPOCALYPSE 2009 - Invasion U.S.A.!!!
This April 16-25, Austin's original Alamo Drafthouse Cinema will take their popular classic exploitation movie series on the road - presenting EIGHT HUGE NIGHTS of white-hot exploitation thunder at some of the finest screening venues in the west!!! Alamo Weird Wednesday programmer Lars Nilsen and Terror Tuesday curator Zack Carlson will bring the rampaging Cinemapocalypse road trip to the Pacific Coast, and will be presenting rare and absolutely unseen treasures from the American Genre Film Archive's top secret subterranean 35mm archive, each film destined to peel the hair from your eyeballs, scorch the skin on your cortex and make you sterile for ninety weeks. From manic hicksploitation epics to bloodthirsty shoestring goreblasts, each movie is a railroad spike through the heart of limp modern cinema. Join us in shattering the wall between you and THE BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE!!!
