Alright, here’s another trailer.

When the alamo announced a Be Kind Rewind inspired film contest, who else thought they should Swede Koyaanisqatsi? If you are moved to vote for it, you can sign up here. To watch the original Godfrey Reggio clip, click here.

A few weeks back Patton Oswalt came to the Alamo to talk about this little film he did with Pixar. He also brought with him one of his favorite new films. Here’s Mr. O. introducing Austin TX to The Foot Fist Way. After the screening of Jody Hill’s opus, he did a Q&A?

Big news, people: AICN and the Alamo have arranged a special screening of Ratatouille hosted by Patton Oswalt this coming Monday. If you’ve read this blog in the past, you know I’ve been kissing Patton’s funny ass for years. Last night, at Hostel II, Tim announced that the second film on the bill Monday will be one of Mr. Oswalt’s new favorites, The Foot Fist Way. Screw the family fun stuff…Jody Hill, Danny McBride, and company have been making wonderful films ever since back in the day. You’ll hear about how awesome it is after the fact … and then feel like poop. Be there, people! I’m not asking nicely. I’m telling you…BE THERE! Support young talented filmmakers! Especially the ones that inspired me back in film school. Don’t believe me, check out some scenes here.

But before I can even get excited about seeing Fist/Foot, Jamaa Fanaka will be in town, live and in person, to present two of his classics: Welcome Home Brother Charles, and PENITENTIARY! Lars puts it best: “Director Jamaa Fanaka specializes in the smuggler’s approach to socially relevant film-making. He’ll sneak some serious shit past you like a jailhouse shiv while you’re looking the other way. ” Once again, I’m not asking you nicely to be there. I wish the Alamo turned 10 every month.

Check back soon to see Eli Roth getting his ass spanked with a cookie sheet. It really is something else and it needs to be shared with the world.

Grindhouse was pretty good. Look. It does feel a bit like the RadioActiveMan episode of the Simpsons, but it did make me laugh. Don’t! Don’t! Don’t! Thanksgiving.

March has been full of goodness. SXSW favorites The Budos Band can be seen here. As Well as Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings. Please forgive the titles, this is a rough draft. Hope you like it.

Check out the latest dramatic offering from 301 Films/Limited Ed./Etsi Films, Not if I See You First. It’s a romantic story of a woman obsessed to the point of stalking a man who is oblivious to her intentions towards him. I hope you all will enjoy it.

David Lynch came to Austin and brought his new movie with him. INLAND EMPIRE screened at the Paramount tonight. Seeing it at the Paramount was great, but seeing it from the nose-bleed section of the upper balcony made it even better. I didn’t want the movie to end. Others felt differently. To the 301 readers in Iran, yo, peep the limited release of INLAND EMPIRE in Tehran at the Farhang Theatre. Today, January 25th! You won’t be sorry.

Watch David Lynch talk about bliss and higher consciousness here!

Listen to David Lynch talk about INLAND EMPIRE here!

Since 301 didn’t turn over enough ducats in profit during the last quarter of ‘06, we’re doing all our Sundance reporting from Austin Texas. Yee-Ha! If you thought we were all pretty sad we couldn’t go last year and support the Fist Foot Way, we’re extra sad this year that we can’t see Snow Angels.

Snow Angels is the new film by Dave Green. I can’t say David Gordon Green’s name without mentioning both George Washington and All The Real Girls. I also can’t mention his name without thinking of Big sitting in a bathtub of ground chuck. He has also directed some cool Truth ads.

I know next to nothing about Snow Angels, but I’m really happy Dave has a new movie coming out. Can’t wait to see me some Tim Orr photography on the Alamo’s perfect silver screen. I can feel the colors pimp slapping me now. David Wingo on the soundtrack. Yeah! I hope it screens during SXSW.

And that’s the 301 Sundance report from Austin, Texas.
