Rodriguez's latest was both as good as I had hoped and as bad as I expected; which isn't to say I didn't like it. But the comics are works of art, and the film, as beautiful an imitation of that art as it is, is still just an imitation; there is a loss inherent to such slavish adherence. More on all that, though, when I write up a full review next week.
Here's how cool this film festival is: Lauren, our chaperone-abou-town, is doing my laundry for me.
I spoke to Nick a few hours ago. He's down at the Ozone Film Festival with Yen at the moment. Their first screening of Deadroom was this evening, and it was an odd sort of success; I'm sure Yen can provide more details on his blog when he returns. The second screening will be occurring tomorrow at 5:00 - precisely when the one at the Texas Film Festival begins. Which means, via the magic of cell phones, all four of us will be able to be present at the Q&As in both states. It's going to be confusing as hell, but we're going to try it anyway. And once that's over, the closing night party will commence...
Meanwhile, in Louisiana, the Ozone festival will be having a midnight screening of Fulci's astounding masterpiece The Beyond. I'm going to kill my co-directors if they don't go to see it.

Good luck with the bi-state screenings today, y'all!
Tell me if the bat shows up.
