The ULTIMATE Jaws experience

Presented by the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and Deep Blue Scuba (1975, d. Steven Spielberg, PG, 124 min) Jaws was the first movie I saw that did damage to my psyche. My mother was at the opera, my dad took me to see Jaws. I was 6 years old. Every family beach outing for the next 5 years left me inwardly petrified of the razor sharp teeth of the great white shark. We here at the Rolling Roadshow wondered, if a movie alone can deliver that level of emotional wallop, what would happen if you were watching Jaws on a 40' floating screen in the middle of the night with your feet dangling in a vast expanse of deep, dark water? The time for this question to remain hypothetical has ended. Welcome to the ULTIMATE JAWS EXPERIENCE. To commemorate the striking of a brand new 35mm print of the original Jaws, the Rolling Roadshow is taking the traveling rig to an undisclosed secret location, where audience members will float on an inner tube and experience the most intense movie experience of the summer. Now we're not necessarily going to stock the lake with man-eaters and chum the surrounding water, but let's just say, the horror on the screen is not all you'll have to watch out for. Due to the dangerous nature of this event, we will not allow ANY drinking of alcoholic beverages before the screening. To calm your nerves afterwards, however, your ticket includes some liquid sedative to help you sleep. Check back here for more details and ticket information, and we will be emailing tickets holders with full details. Showings (click on the title above to buy tickets)
