Hey folks, Harry here... I know I've already announced this screening, but Patton wanted to personally reach out and yank you in the general direction of this movie. SO... here he is...

“Patton Oswalt here. How are you? Oh God, that’s terrible.

Maybe this will cheer you up. Disney/Pixar and Paramount Vantage are letting me screen a pair of movies in Austin this coming Monday.

The first one, at 7pm, is RATATOUILLE. That’s the new Pixar movie. It’s directed by Brad Bird, who did TROLL 2, ANOTHER 9/12 WEEKS and that video for Whitesnake with the girl from BACHELOR PARTY. I play the lead role — a rat who wants to be a gourmet chef. This one’s going to get shown at the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown. It’s definitely all-ages, so bring the family. I am very proud and excited to be part of this movie — the third truly “great” film I’ve been involved with, after MAGNOLIA and DOWN PERISCOPE.

Plus, it’s a Pixar film directed by Brad Bird, which is like having a motorcycle that you can also eat and it tastes like Cheetos.

I’ll answer questions afterward, and it will be a lot of fun.

Then, at 10pm, you can meet me at the Alamo Drafthouse Lamar, where I’ll screen THE FOOT FIST WAY. I am in no way involved with this brilliant film. It was directed by Jody Hill, and written by Hill, Danny R. McBride and Ben Best. It stars McBride (along with Hill and Best) as a tae kwon do instructor whose life spins out of control. Adam McKay and Will Ferrell are releasing it next year, but they’re letting me show it now. I think Will thinks I’m Jack Black or something.

FOOT FIST WAY is the most recent great comedy I’ve seen. Like REPO MAN, RUSHMORE, DAZED AND CONFUSED, GROUNDHOG DAY and the British OFFICE, it’s confident, patient, non-needy, irresponsible and hilarious. Truly original and special. PLEASE do not bring the kids.

I’ve had some of my best movie-watching experiences seeing films in Austin. So this is very exciting for me, to get to show them at the two Alamo locations, and watch them with you guys. I hope you can make it out.”

Thanks, guys!

PATTON

On a more personal note... THE FOOT FIST WAY, to me, was way more funnier than NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. Cuz, THE FOOT FIST WAY has way more skillz!
