Alamo Downtown Blog-a-Thon.

Austin's Alamo Drafthouse Downtown, the original "on Colorado St will be closing its doors after a final triple-feature on June 27. The movie theater will be moving to Sixth Street in the newly renovated Ritz Theater. While we're looking forward to the new digs, we want to remember and celebrate the old Alamo Drafthouse that we've been visiting for the past 10 years."

And so, Jette Kernion and Blake Ethridge are hosting today's Alamo Downtown Blog-a-Thon.

On a related note, Ain't It Cool News founder Harry Knowles reports on last night's Half-Ass-a-Thon, the last event of many he's hosted at the Alamo, and passes along more reviews from "The Legman." As Harry notes, the hit of the overnight festival was Stardust, "the real surprise. People just aren't really aware of it, but throughout the film there was applause, not of just visual effects moments, but applause to the greatness of dialogue, sequences and for just getting caught up into the film."
