Okay, as much as we love Beverly Hills Cop (and Family Guy), we've actually got a more important topic to cover here. The Austin Film Festival is continuing its popular Conversations in Film series this Sunday, August 5th, with a special session on Story and Structure: What to Think About Before You Write the Script. Leading this conversation is none other than Dan Petrie, Jr., who's worked on such top films as Turner and Hooch,......

Seth MacFarlane, the brains behind the greatest cartoon TV series since The Simpsons (Family Guy and its not-so-funny counterpart, American Dad), will be coming to UT campus next Friday, April 13th to give a lecture on lord knows what. The Emmy Award-winner is not only the creator, director and executive producer of the above, he's also the voice of many animated characters--lending his voice to partners in the genre, Robot Chicken, Crank Yankers and......

We’d never asperse someone just because he's rich and famous. Or just because he likes to go shirtless at all times and do push-ups on the beach in Malibu.

Tomorrow, it's supposed to be in the low 80s. We're ready for cold weather, but nothing pisses us off like girls wearing flip flops and a coat. Are you with us, or what? Tom DeLay in the Hot......

Our buddies at Sidebar (602 E. 7th St) need to stop being so damn awesome. They are masters at convincing us that we should spend our nights hanging out on their patio. First, they've got great prices. Second, they have a wonderful bar staff that pull off being hip/cool with smiles and charm instead of rudeness and apathy. Not to mention our well established desire to mouth pounce talk to a certain female bartender.......
