• Austin Film Festival, part six: not always what you expect

  So I walked out of a film tonight. I don’t regularly walk out of movies; the Japanese election film at SxSW 2007 sent me out the door after I saw the same scene for the eleventy-seventh time, and then there’s the Russian roulette scene in “The Deer Hunter.” I can’t think of another time; there’s some enjoyment

  Filed under: Exhibition, ColumnsTeens are a pain in the butt at the movies. I'll be the first to admit this. As a theater manager, one of my non-described job requirements was babysitting. But this is a task that sounds easier than it is. For many kids that we would kick out of an auditorium, or have removed from the lobby or parking lot, we would

  It starts a week-long run at Alamo Ritz on Friday, and so I’m doubly thrilled. When I walked past the Ritz on Halloween, (more…)

  Highly Recommended: “Lars and the Real Girl”–great movie, seriously great movie “Romance & Cigarettes”–very real and very absurd–The combination makes both palatable. No, more that palatable: effective, enjoyable, emotional. “Yiddish Theater”–small documentary with charming

  Filed under: ExhibitionWhat sounds like the more highbrow date? Going to see the artsy film I'm Not There while sitting on a couch, eating a pizza and drinking a cold beer, or going to see the mainstream blockbuster National Treasure: Book of Secrets while sitting in a VIP section with reserved, "luxury seating," eating a "sophisticated entree"

  brought a new crowd into the Alamo, which you could tell by the people wondering if seating was assigned, if they had to order something, etc. Only two waiters and a very full house, so they were working super hard. “Charlie Wilson’s War” Fun! The costuming and makeup were amazing. I loved the dark line in Julia Robert’s

  still no queue at Alamo Village. I’m able to get a parking spot right at the head of where my show’s queue will begin, and I see others in cars waiting to see if anyone will get the line started.

  “Cloverfield” at Alamo Village. I knew I would have seen it if The Child had still been here, knew that I would have enjoyed seeing it with him, and so decided that I was entitled to enjoy it by myself, too. So I bought a ticket on-line, went home to prepare for queuing up outside for the midnight show, and headed for the theater.

  Filed under: Tech Stuff, Exhibition, Movie Marketing, ColumnsOnce in awhile I come across little stories that are relevant to this column that don't necessarily call for so many words of commentary. But it's a shame to skip over them, so occasionally, I'd like to break The Exhibitionist up a bit and write about a few of them at once. The first
