You probably know by now that perennial badass Robert De Niro donated his complete collection of film-related materials to the Harry Ransom Center in 2006, including annotated scripts and research materials from his character studies (that's right, De Niro is totally an anthropologist.) One of the main reasons De Niro chose the acclaimed University of Texas vault-of-goodness that is the Harry Ransom Center is because he knew that the materials would be available for students......

The Paramount Theatre continues its salute to Martin Scorsese tonight with a 7:30 showing of Raging Bull, a pastoral drama in which Robert DeNiro's country priest sells his Holstein cow to buy his ailing wife a bowl of wild strawberries. You can imagine the effect this has on the Holstein's husband, who ends up with neither wife nor strawberries. The Paramount, located on Congress between 7th and 8th, is one of Austinist's favorite places......
