Sounds interesting... sounds like that "Raiders" kiddie remake by Prof. Pop-Cult	Apr 5th, 2008 06:12:51 PM
Are they still on track to turn that real-life story into a scripted drama (to be written by Daniel Clowes)? This may sound cynical, but I predict we'll be seeing a few more films like this, as Generation X keeps breeding and starts entering middle age.

I think you're on the right track, although I'd love to see more Alamo type theaters in Europe as well. There's no reason not to go international, if you're gonna franchise a great idea. I saw Son of Rambow in Austin after BNAT btw and it is awesome. Will Poulter, the kid who exposes the other one to First Blood reminded me of River Phoenix in Stand By Me. he's really good for a kid.

Ah yes, we Brits are renowned for our fortified and imposing palaces! Alamo franchise is a sweet idea, though. Also 'Son of Rambow' is awesome.

Saw this at Sundance @ Brooklyn Academy of Music and... by Chazmatazz	Apr 5th, 2008 09:37:03 PM
... despite having a horribly frantic train ride to Brooklyn and my usual prickly demeanor, this movie put a huge shit-eating grin on my face- truly a disarming and sincere piece of work. So glad that this is FINALLY going to get seen.

IKEA. Make furniture, not war.
This film is more than "interesting" or "charming" or "sweet" by Brendon	Apr 6th, 2008 04:58:58 AM
We have a bona fide classic here. A real Back to the Future sort of level of classic, with the same overall level of appeal, wit, smarts and filmmaking chops on display. Of course, anybody who knew Hammer and Tongs previous work would just know they have a whole heap of films this good rattling around in their heads waiting to get out. The film is on release in the UK right NOW so, if you're over here, I really can't recommend it enough.
Wes Anderson called by Jor-El23	Apr 6th, 2008 10:28:02 AM
He wants his quirkiness back. Even using the same music from Bottle Rocket.
I'd rather be in Austin! by thebearovingian	Apr 6th, 2008 11:42:21 AM
The city, that is.

Well, what's the deal? by TheGreatPumpkin	Apr 7th, 2008 05:42:51 PM
I e-mailed as soon as I saw the post Saturday, but not a peep from Brad so far :-/ Is it full up or what?
