McCain sex scandal or improper journalism? You decide. Here is some raw video of the satellite shoot-down from yesterday. Hillary mentions Kirk Watson's gaffe in this campaign video. Man gets 8 years in jail for not 1, not 9, but 19 DUI's. Another hacker has made iTunes more accessible. Michael Moore wants to bring Castro to the Oscars. The center of the universe tonight will be the UT Rec Sports Center.......

There will always be chatter about Austin's changing landscape, much as there will always be supporters for both developers and the environment. We want the privilege of taking a dip in a glistening spring-fed pool, but we also want to have a robust economy that allows us to continue working and living in this city. Some would argue that the two desires aren't mutually exclusive, but we all know that it's a sticky subject.......

Zombie is the watchword this time around. Not only is Rob Zombie unmasking his take on 1978’s slasher classic Halloween this weekend, the Alamo Drafthouse has also managed to round up a herd of zombie sheep from New Zealand for your viewing (really resisting the urge to say ewe-ing) pleasure. If you could care less about the grisly fate Rob Zombie doles out to lustful babysitters and the thought of zombie sheep does nothing......

Kind of a slow week for new releases here in Austin. You can either bro out and get amped on some new Die Hard, or submit to the CGI summer blockbuster force that is Ratatouille. Oh, and Michael Moore wanted to talk to you about some things. Live Free or Die Hard: John McClane is back! Now shorn bald (and resembling a very stern penis), he must jump off careening jets and donkey-punch the......

Whether you like Michael Moore or think he's an anti-American nutjob, the guy's coming out with a new movie. Sicko is a study of America's (failing) health care system. Moore talks to victims (like a man who had to choose which of his two severed fingers to reattach, because he couldn't afford both) and perpetrators (oft-repentant health insurance agents) of the U.S. health care system, then trots (okay, maybe plods) around the globe in search......

Okay, we thought New Mexico guv Bill Richardson had already announced his campaign for Presidency, but guess not. In GOP news, Giuliani isn't polling well in Iowa; Mitt Romney is beating him and McCain in the polls up there. Al Qaeda militants are taking on the military at a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon. 71 people have been killed so far. European developers are not amused with soon-to-be-former World Bank Prez Wolfowitz. Former US......

The surprising thing about the new documentary Jesus Camp, opening tomorrow in Austin, is how, well, un-Michael Moore it is. Sure, there are a couple of scenes in Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing's look at an evangelical kids' ministry that are already providing yet more fodder for leftist religion-haters, including this one of children praying to a large cardboard cutout of President Bush. But, on the whole, you will be amazed at the filmmakers' preternatural......

Even though we are way way past school age, we still get a little melancholy at the close of summer. Fortunately, our friends across the -ist network know that the shenanigans don't need to end just because the big yellow buses are back on the roads. So, grab your sunscreen and your favorite hangover cure, as we take a tour of end of summer fun from -ist cities all over the damn place. SFist Tourist......

We begin this week's recap with a few small corrections to the last one, which have been requested by umpteenzillion readers. First off, the person who appears in episode 2 in the big directors chair is John Pierson, not Paul Stekler. Stekler appears later on in the episode, and is the guy who is going to actually be helping the housemates film their documentary. Pierson is the guy who had to defend his relationship......
