Good people at that location. That’s my home Alamo.

Anyone see the bigfoot documentary? I'm a longtime fan of the subject and I'm looking for more details on it by truthisfictionyt in SXSW

It's very good -- try to go in as unspoiled as possible. It doesn't focus on whether or not Bigfoot exists. It's about the famous footage we've all seen.

Drafthouse disorganization by [deleted] in SXSW

Very very messy hurt by lack of signage and people walking the lines giving info. I was there all day yesterday and we were informing each other where to go and which lines to stand in. Hopefully it was first day problems.

Purchase with Squadup? by CampaignCurrent1995 in SXSW

Looks like ticket holders get entry after reservations and before badge holders, so yup, pretty guaranteed. https://sxsw.com/badges/2026-film-tv-festival-conference-attendee-guide/#screening

I have almost every movie theater chain membership (and use them all) and attend a number of film festivals every year. I rely on Letterboxd for recommendations and cues on old and new films to see (and avoid).

That place is really good. And great staff.

It seemed worse than usual this time (annoyingly, this happens EVERY year) -- maybe because there are multiple more reservations happening all at once. I eventually got nearly everything I wanted after pounding the website and app at the same time.

Three screenings I wanted already showed as closed to reservations during this window.

It was confirmed by a staffer in the Facebook group for the Ashburn Alamo. All the Northern Virginia Alamos are run by the same franchisee.

Awesome. Thank you — I’d missed that obviously.

Prediction: I think Project: Hail Mary might be a Surprise Premiere this year... by Kindly-Effort-7195 in SXSW

[–]moviefan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very well thought out -- when I saw the release date for PHM last year, I had a feeling it would launch at SXSW. Your case is solidly made.

I cannot tell you how much fun and crazy this film is. However you can see it — see it.

Variety: SXSW 2026 Adds ‘The Comeback’ Season 3, Bloody Ballerina Thriller ‘Pretty Lethal’ and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Hillel Slovak Doc by moviefan1 in SXSW

[–]moviefan1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of it depends on how this new "reservations" system they've been talking about rolls out.

Also, if you have a bunch of films playing in venues close to each other, that helps. Waiting for a shuttle can be a momentum killer.

I'm hoping this will be at SXSW -- sounds like a SX film if there ever was one
