Yeah, for some reason there's no domestic trailer yet. Though it's an English-language film....
I think my advice is perfectly reasonable: **IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY BIG MONEY** for premium access, a pass is a good alternative. That's all I'm sayin'. I don't think anybody's dumb enough to expec...
I speak from my one year of experience going to SXSW Film with a pass (the following year, I decided I wanted to see more movies, so I shelled out for a badge). That year, I only got shut out of one ...
Oh, Seth--brave defender of mediocre movies. Where to start? First: "[Matt] is an entertaining writer, but it's [his] myopic view of this movie that's keeping [his] words from the paper-printed pages...
If you missed out on the RSVP, there'll apparently be a standby line. And if you're not into that, there'll be a midnight show at the Alamo on Thursday. KKKKIIILLLLLL!!!!!...
Hey bluejar: I saw Diary of the Dead in September at the Toronto Film Festival. Don't get me wrong--it isn't awful. It's just not as good as it could have been were it not tied to the silly handheld ...
Not confirmed yet, but Swami Records is planning a showcase with: Night Marchers Dan Sartain Marked men CPC Gangbangs and others Night Marchers is the new John Reis (Drive Like Jehu/RFTC/Sultans/Ho...
Oh, totally, Seth. CGI isn't the devil or anything--most of the "deserted Manhattan" scenes were super well done. And for the most part, they didn't look CGI at all (with a few exceptions). I just th...
Oohh, good call Tim. I stand corrected. I've actually seen Kicking and Screaming, and I have no idea why I wrote "debut". Well, other than that I'm stupid. I haven't, however, seen any of Baumbach's ...
GWAR is always a wickedly fun live show. If you go to this, make sure to get there early and catch 3 Inches of Blood. They're righteous metal--spikes and all....
Halloween 4 really is the best in the series. I mean, how about that thumb through the eyeball?! I'm gonna go right from there to Kung Fu Halloween. Space permitting....
I've done SXSW film with both a pass and a badge. And while I'd totally recommend the badge, you can get into most films with a pass--you just have to get there early and wait in line (which is the tr...
There are quarterback named Major?! I totally need to start watching football....
You take quarterbacks seriously?...
Kenneth: at LEAST $20! Guest: Is too fair. IIISSS TOOOO!...
Totally true, guest. Nobody goes anywhere or buys anything during the day--that's why stores, restaurants and offices are all closed until after 6....
There is nothing cuter than ducklings in a teacup. Well, except maybe hedgehogs in a gravy boat....
Apparently the reason that 7-11 didn't make Duff Beer for their crazy Simpsons promotion is that Fox wanted it to be a kid-friendly thing. I imagine this is in the same spirit. Plus, you'd really jus...
You have to follow up "The list is long and distinguished" with, "so is my johnson"....
Agreed, guest #2. As a film lover, an AFS membership is the best $20 you can spend. ($20 is freaking CHEAP. That's much less than a night of drinking, for some Austinist staffers.) Membership gets yo...
