I would be remiss if I did not mention my friend Don Lewis has a short film entered in the Austin Film Festival this weekend.
Actually, I've dropped the ball already by not mentioning it before it actually premiered last night. Sue me.
Don's film is called Stringers. Here's the synopsis from the AFF page:
Using refurbished police cars, scanners, video cameras, and high-tech gadgetry, independent video journalists will stop at nothing to be the first cameramen on the scene of fires, accidents, or violent crimes.
I've seen it, and it's pretty darn good. It's next screening is tomorrow (Sunday), 3 PM, at the Landmark(?) Dobie Theater as part of Shorts Program 9. Don will be attendance, and since I'm heading into Austin tonight to celebrate with him, be sure to yell your questions at him while eating a greasy pork sandwich. He loves that.
In more mundane news, I have some reviews up:
Flags of Our Fathers - **
Marie Antoinette - 1/2*
Oh shut your pie hole. You know I have to edit my own crap.
Anyway, fixed.
A line of your review made the Rotten Tomatoes page, where even the praise for this film is fairly damning. Can't believe she really put a pop soundtrack to a film like this!
Dude, where'd you go Saturday? And Sunday. Hope your liver survived and it was great to see you...thanks again for the review and for helping me drink beer. You're clearly out of practice though. I expect more from Mr. Haar.
Ooo! Powder clue Converse! I love those!
