Alamo Drafthouse in Austin hosting Indiana Jones Trilogy screening April 11
I just saw this on Aintitcoolnews.com and, having NEVER seen Indy on the big screen, I am seriously contemplating driving 2 hours to Austin just to see the trilogy in style.

They're serving a six-course meal to sate your sizable appetites during the screening.

Tickets are $96. It's an extra $25 for drinks, but I want to enjoy this experience sober.

Has anyone been to the Austin Alamo Drafthouse Cinema before? Is it worth that kind of dough? I don't want to get there and see it's some tiny screen that wasn't even worth my time, gas or money.

An all day Food & Film Event featuring rare 35mm screenings of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM & INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE back-to-back!

There are very few perfect triple installment series in the history of film. In fact, it's practically inarguable that the INDIANA JONES movies comprise the single most entertaining three-part saga in cinema. Thank goodness they never ruined this untouchable trilogy by producing another, lesser entry!

To celebrate the flawlessness of ALL THREE of the INDIANA JONES movies, we're pleased to present the most white-knuckle, whip-crackin', globe-spanning feast/festival event the Alamo has ever seen! Join us for an all-day triumph of ark-findin', heart-stealin', grail-gettin' and Nazi-meltin' along with a delicious meal from each country Indy rampages through on his way to the the climax of the THIRD and FINAL film! This once-in-a-lifetime experience will truly be an event to remember, to be enjoyed (and digested) by the most powerful fans of big screen adventure, all proud to live in a LaBeouf-free universe!!
(Zack)

The complete menu is HERE...and you'd better believe that there will be dishes from each continent Indy & co. set foot on, from South American favorites to Egyptian delicacies to the Holy Grail of desserts, all prepared by Alamo chefs John Bullington and Elijah Horgan!:

1 - Fresh Catch
Striped Bass roasted in a tangerine sauce over wild forest mushrooms on mixed jungle greens

2 - Mousaka
Lamb, dates, in ancient Egyptian spices on roast tomato

3 - Snake Curry
Slow cooked snake and plantain in madras curry served with black rice on banana leaf

4 - Eyeball Soup
Roast pearl onion soup

5 - Fuhrer’s Fave
Richardson Farm’s Pork cutlet breaded and fried with sauerkraut and spaetzle

6 - Monkey Brains!!!
Sweet coconut risotto, strawberry reduction, lychee nut, monkey skull

...And for all you thrill-seekers: don't be surprised if some beetles end up as a side dish!

The grail is not cooler than the Ark. I'll admit the sequence where he heals his father is just about the most powerful scene in any of the three movies, though.

But Crusade is basically Raiders lite. It's not a bad film by any means, but it's not perfection like Raiders. It's sloppy in parts.

It doesn't quite pull off the action it wants to, like Raiders does so perfectly. A good example of this is when Indy whips his father's ankle on the tank, and Sallah pulls him off. That whole sequence is sloppy. It's not convincing. It probably looked really awesome on storyboards but they didn't execute it quite right, especially when you see Colonel Vogel just sort of standing there holding Harrison Ford while he has the whip around his father's ankle, waiting for Sallah to grab him.

There's nothing sloppy in Raiders.

Raiders might be the most perfect action film ever.

Grail is cool, but like GoChiefs mentioned, its basically Raiders light.

Ive always liked Doom. I like that its darker, i like that its a prequel.....i like the action.....Even Willie and Short Round grew on me.

as long as they don't show that piece of crap that came out a few years ago, that would be pretty darn cool!

No, that would be Die Hard, and it's not even close.

Raiders is the best 30s/40s style adventure flick ever made. Tough to compare it to modern action films - although it's obviously "modern", it's just a different kind of animal.

I'm with zod on the 3rd one. I liked it a lot, albeit not as much as the first. The second one never worked for me at all.

If we're talking PURE action, the greatest action flick ever is...

Those are both great movies, but Die Hard has one of the greatest villains of all time in Hans Gruber. He makes the difference.

There's no research required. Rain Man had people nominate smells.
