Great!

Beware that this cinema is a world legend. Maybe even more famous than
the chinese theatre in Hollywood.
Home of the legendary SXSW movie festival where e.g. the mumblecore
movement was born - Greta Gerwig now being a big star,
where every wednesday legendary bad movie nights are held (e.g. with
Tsui Hark, one of the best HongKong directors who happen to study in
Austin),
with legendary self-made trailers of very bad 70ies movies before
every screening, that's why this theatre is packed at least 30 minutes
before, not to miss these trailers, with personal introduction of the
movie selector (who happens to be either a famous actor, director or
famous critic), and so on.
The owner Harry Knowles does "Ain't It Cool News" http://www.aintitcool.com/
Not to miss when you are in Austin.

The downsides:
- You eat in the theatre so it smells of garlic and food.
- Do not sit in the first row. You'll see nothing.
