Bridgetown Comedy Festival – Saturday
Man oh man, my funny muscles are sore and my head is throbbing from last night’s antics at the Bridgetown Comedy Fest. It was a blur really, but I will try to recap. I hit the evening off at the Eagles Lodge where I caught a funny set from Nikki Glaser, who attempted to reconcile […]

Meowrrrrrrrrr
I’m still flying high from last night’s screening of ‘Gator Bait, which was just as good as I expected. Combine this with some anticipation of the Bridgetown Comedy Fest and some vestiges of Cat Friday, and I have the perfect foundation for this grindhouse trailer (which was also shown at Wednesday’s Trailer War)… The Uncanny: […]

They Made Her a Savage!
Last night’s Cinemapocalypse Trailer War at the Hollywood Theatre was a blast! Did you go? It was like being pummeled over the head with three decades’ worth of grindhouse sleaze, bad stunts, and hysterical jive talkin’… in other words, the best two hours I’ve had all month.

No One’s Here Today
There are only three of us at work today in the editorial department and we’re all drunk already (that’s a lie, we’re desperately holding off ’til 3 pm). Alison made Marjorie and me some delicious cake, so I will repay the kindness by blogging about a kitten who will kick your ass for a slice. […]

All Those SXSW Kids Can Suck It!
The aforementioned sucking can occur ’cause we just got great news from Austin’s off-color movie mavens, Lars Nilsen and Zack Carlson, who regularly present grindhouse films at the famous Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Come April, they’re taking their show on the road! This path of B-movie destruction will be littered with the nubile bodies of screaming […]
