John Landis Tribute in Austin, Tx this weekend!!!

John Landis is one of the men most responsible for my sick sense of humor, for hours of laughter and he's going to be in Austin this weekend. Are you?

Beginning Tonight (Thursday April 29) on the University of Texas campus, in the Texas Union theater at 7PM will feature a double-bill of COMING TO AMERICA and AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.

Then on Friday, April 30th at 7PM at the TEXAS UNION theater a showing of THE BLUES BROTHERS will be exhibited!

Both of the above screenings will be without Landis in attendance I believe. However, the next two screenings... Well... He'll be there, amongst us and answering questions about... Well... Whatever you ask I guess. I do want to say that when I saw Landis during THE AUSTIN HEART OF FILM and WRITER'S FEST, I found him to be amazingly forthcoming and candid with his answers. He went into details about Belushi's behavior on set... (Something that must be heard in person) Troubles in making certain films, etc.

Saturday, May 1st starting at 8PM... Located at the TEXAS UNION theater will be a presentation of NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE with John Landis in attendence for an Award Presentation and a Q&A.

Then on Sunday, May 2nd beginning at 12PM at the DOBIE THEATER in Austin will be a special showing of the as of yet, unreleased SUSAN'S PLAN with Landis in attendance for Q&A...

To find out prices and further information about this event (which is being thrown by the University of Texas College Entertainment Organization and the San Antonio Film Festival... well call (512)892-8308 or (512) 440-9301

I will be attending every screening as I am a huge fan (as opposed to a thin one) of John Landis' career, which has been both hit and miss. But them's the cards, eh?

Well, hope to see you there!
