Opening this weekend with a lack of fanfare is the flagship Burnt Orange Productions feature film, The Quiet. Seasoned film and television director Jamie Babbit (But I’m A Cheerleader, Gilmore Girls, Malcolm in the Middle, Nip/Tuck)directed the project as part of the Texas Film Institute’s program, which provides real-world training to University of Texas film students. The screenplay by writing team Abdi Nazemian and Micah Schraft was chosen by the Sundance Institute in 2003 for their infamous workshops in Park City. more ›

Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Our favorite posts for the week: D&D's dog has some problem with visiting local pet stores. BOR posts their endorsements for the local elections. Urban Grounds heads out a little too early to catch the immigration protests. Eeyore was a horse this year, and nonplussed has the picture to prove it. Metroblogging Austin professes their love for Jim Spencer. We're still upset at him for interrupting Lane's wedding on Gilmore... more ›

We were wondering which local channel would carry the CW programming, and Diane Holloway posts on her blog that KNVA (currently Austin's WB) will become the local CW affiliate on September 5. We had thought that both KBEJ (currently the UPN station) and KNVA might carry CW for Austin, but it... more ›

I caught up on my Mediums, but other than my growing crush on Joe DuBois (the super husband and daddy he is), there is nothing juicy to report. Lost wasn't on. Everwood isn't returning till March (and I'm a little peeved, thank you). Gilmore... more ›

If you would like to hear about how our country rocks and why spying on us Joe Schmoes is necessary, then at 8pm tonight, be sure to tune to the basic networks for El Presidente's State of the Union address. KVUE (ABC), KXAN (NBC), KEYE (CBS), KTBC (FOX) and even KLRU (PBS) will be showing Bush's speech (and offering commentary afterwards). **Editorial Note: While we would never encourage listening to W. pontifuhmuhkate about the... more ›

This is the first post from our new contributor, Elizabeth... Now that you've gone to all the free museums you can, surely you need something to do this evening. So here's where we remind you that the Emmys are on tonight (7pm, KEYE CBS42). We don't make as much of an effort to watch the Emmys as we do to watch the Oscars (and yes, even the Golden Globes). We still have opinions on... more ›
