QT FEST #7: Tickets On Sale April 4th!!! One of the nights, beneath the stars!!!
Hey folks, Harry here with a joyous announcement of the greatest variety. The Seventh Sporadic Edition of the Quentin Tarantino Film Festival (affectionately called QT 7) will be unleashed upon us sooner than we could have possibly hoped for. It has only been 6 months since the last - and another is upon us. Quentin's in town to shoot his parts of GRINDHOUSE with Robert Rodriguez. Before he whips out the camera and the bloody good times on set - he's going to celebrate what he considers the best of the previous 6 QT fests. Personally, I'm praying for LEGEND OF THE WOLF WOMAN, GIRL FROM STARSHIP VENUS, TWISTED NERVE, ALL THE FERNANDO DI LEO FILMS IN A ROW, MARCH OR DIE and a ton of others. In addition to the classics of the QT FEST'S past, he will be peppering this pageantry with a bevy of new (to the fest series) flicks! Fuck dropping a house on a witch, this is the sort of thing I love to see dropped on our heads! PLUS - the first OUTDOOR QT FEST event. Once, many moons ago, Quentin was supposed to host a Jack Hill double bill with SPIDER BABY and SWITCHBLADE SISTERS, Tarantino got deadly sick at LAX and couldn't make it, and I had to substitute that intro... It'd be cool beans if he brought back Sid Haig and Jack Hill... Or - God Damn It! For that outdoor night... Quentin!!! FUCKING GIVE US A PAM GRIER NIGHT and bring PAM!!! I'm all a-twitterpated over the notion that this will soon be in my life. Here's the press release which we got first! So read and plan accordingly. The outdoor show, I've heard that it has a capacity of around and over 2000 people, so if you never have gotten to experience QT fest - on that night, a ton or two of you good folks can participate in the largest event in QT FEST history! Hopefully - the Austin Film Society will be ready for the glut they'll be getting when passes go on sale on the 4th. Last year, it got kinda crazy. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!

TICKETS TO THE APRIL 25 OUTDOOR SHOW

Quentin Tarantino returns to the Alamo this spring for QT 7 - a look back at the best films he's programmed over the last six festivals plus some new surprises from his exploitation vault, all in one amazing film-geek smorgasbord! Crime films, trash films, westerns, kung-fu epics, splatter films, mondo films, drug films, lederhosen films - he's shown it all, and there's no champion of cinema's seedy, unsung underbelly quite like Quentin. His programming and detailed, enthusiastic introductions have become a film school in and of themselves.
Festival passes are EXTREMELY limited, if you want to attend, be ready on April 4. The Festival pass includes admission to all 7 days of the fest, including the outdoor double feature screening on April 25. Details on the ticketing process will be updated soon at www.austinfilm.org.
If you aren't one of the lucky few to get festival passes, there will be a much larger number of tickets available to the April 25 outdoor double feature show, being held at the Glenn (behind the Backyard) using the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema's Rolling Roadshow rig. Tickets for this night are $20 and will go on sale online at noon Central Time on www.rollingroadshow.com.
Standby tickets for each night of QT Fest will also be available at the door. Last year, we were able to accommodate 95% of the standby customers.
Film titles, themes for the evenings and late-breaking news about QT fest will all be announced at www.originalalamo.com. Keep checking back for more details.
Proceeds from QT Fest benefit the Austin Film Society.

He is in GRINDHOUSE right?
-
Now you know that could be cool too.
-
this is one of them times.
-
and he's already doing a clip show...
j/k..sounds cool... i'm sure i wouldn't be able to attempt to hitch-hike all the way down there again...i still haven't found my virtue since the last attempt... -
...and that was by pure luck. I am oh-so frightened that my luck will turn this time. I CAN'T miss this. May the God's of Geekdom look favorably upon my endevours. Amen.

What happened to Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair? It's been forever since we've heard anything about this movie. I expected to see it last year. And that's now come and gone.
-
Remember everyone, you have to pretend you like him...
-
Shit, that's my birthday! I'd love to fly down for this, but I think I can only afford one trip to Austin a year.
-
are we just pretending the ShoWest Superman Returns footage isn't there?
-
Tickets will sell fast and I'll be out of town :-{
-
I second that - i have seen the longer, better Japanese release of Volume 1 and i want the whole damned thing. Where the hell is the Kill Bill SE that i so desire? are we talking Jackie Brown SE wait time here? i want to feel the power of the bit...
-
People roudn here are pretty bad at noticing stuff like that. Same thing happened with the Avatar script. For the short-sighted: notice how one of the S's in the first line is underlined?
-
Wow, Shitty camera-phone footage of the stuff that has already been seen... I thought it was going to be the footage that Quint described in his post...DAMN IT!!
As for QT fest... I just think that I'm just going to move to Austin already... Fuck it... save alot of money on plane tickets... -
He's got a long way to go if he's working with that fucking hack Rodriguez, and wasting time staging a re-run fest ain't the way to start turning things around. This is more sad proof that Tarantino's priorities aren't where they should be.

...when people say "Gee, where is (fill in the Weinstein-controlled film), it was supposed to come out forever ago?" It's rotting on the shelf next to SPL and TOM YOUNG GOONG and INFERNAL AFFAIRS II & III and CHINESE ODYSSEY and God only knows what else. At what point does it stop being surprising when movies disappear into the Weinstein Company as if it was a black hole from which nothing can escape? Nothing new here, we'll see THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR when the company's about to go tits up and they're desperate for some cash flow from DVD sales. DOOGAL and DERAILED don't pay the rent.

Didn't even bother opening the dayplanner, desperate to see a matching block of empty days. Won't even bother thinking up a sales pitch for the wife to justify abandoning her for a Texas redhead and his movie madness. L4-L5 vertebrae probably couldn't take that many hours in a theater seat anyway without an epidural. So then... it's official... Never gonna revel in a QTFest. Never gonna soak up a Butt-Numb-a-Thon. Never gonna break free of the stranglehold of The Man. Never gonna rub shoulders with the greatest bunch of brilliant, bitchy cinephiles in the history of the Internet. I'm done for, fellas -- it's too late for me... Save yourselves!!

it took 9 posts for some little kid to complain about QT being a hack... i was thinking 3 or 4 tops
-
Hah ha! Made you look!
-
