At Austin's Fantastic Fest, beefs are settled first with words and THEN with fists… 2011's debates took place on Saturday, September, 24th, and were headlined by actor Elijah Wood versus his Lord of the Rings co-star Dominic Monaghan, and Fantastic Fest creative director Tim League versus Knuckle star (and undefeated Irish bare knuckle fighter) James Quinn McDonagh.
Fantastic Fest is the largest genre film festival in the U.S., specializing in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and just plain fantastic movies from all around the world. Fantastic Fest is held each year in various venues, but primarily at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema on South Lamar in Austin, Texas. The Alamo Drafthouse was named the best cinema in America by Entertainment Weekly and features food and drink served to your seat without any disruption of the movie experience.
