But do they have an ice-maker?
We’ll have to see them — no, feel them — to believe them. That’d be the boffo new “motion-enhanced” theater seats, unveiling at the Galaxy Highland May 21, just in time for “Terminator Salvation.”
Galaxy is the first theater in Texas — and THIRD in the WORLD — to introduce the D-Box Technology Motion Systems seats, which are explained as “seats that move with the action taking place onscreen. Seats are coded, frame by frame, to each movie so moviegoers can have he ultimate movie-viewing experience.”
Nutty.
Your butt will rumble.
Wait, this just in from the pubs: The Galaxy is installing 22 of the fancy seats in one of the theaters’ auditoriums. Now, hang on to your armrest: The seats cost an extra $8 to sit in, which makes your ticket, like, $16 or something. I’m bringing a bean bag chair.

Phhhhhht!
I’ll pass on the rumble chair and keep going to the Drafthouse… a beer and a burger will improve “Terminator” much more than a little vibration under my ***.

I may just have to screen all of my films at the Galaxy now! And come into Austin for each screening. This is exciting news!
