Another first in the country movie premiere with a major actor presence at the Alamo Ritz, and is there anything about it in the Austin American Statesman? No. I guess Michael Barnes doesn’t like movies or maybe the Alamo Ritz.

just saw inglourious basterds and loved it. agree with you that waltz and laurent were excellent. they should both be in more american movies so that we won’t have to read too many subtitles (i know, i’m lazy). and that’s really interesting about tarantino wanting to flesh out the other story lines…i was thinking the same thing. apparently, “nation’s pride” is an actual full length movie and is going to be on the dvd.

The percentage of time (both waking and sleeping) I spend thinking about Chuck Bass is embarrassing. You can tell Henri that Aaron is long gone and totally forgotten. Unfortunately,though, Vanessa has not yet died in an espresso machine disaster.

I know it was all in the spirit of fun but I agree with the uncomfortableness with Nazi flags. Not that you don’t, Posh!

I don’t know, I think Tarantino annoyed me so much with Kill Bill that I’m not giving this movie a fair shake. It could also be my history-nerdness.

Love the frizz forecaster! My coworker also alerted me to a similar feature on the Statesman’s site: http://www.statesman.com/weather/content/weather/index.html

Scroll down towards the bottom and you’ll see a little “Frizz Factor” box.

Also, totally jealous of the Julie & Julia feast. I *really* want to see that movie!

the nazi flags really enhanced that part of the movie… i don’t want to give anything away but… just trust me. ordinarily i’m OBVS not a fan of nazi flags (uh DUH) but it just really… made me feel like i was there. which was a v. scary thing.

erin, you’re right, there was always chuck. le sigh.

I would be pretty uncomfortable sitting in a theater with nazi flags hung up.

In other news, “tasty business” today on the internet: http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/08/peach-cupcakes-with-brown-sugar-frosting/

giant cupcakes are a blight upon our culture. the joy of a cupcake is its petite stature, and the fact that you don’t have to share it with anyone.

that meal sounds amaaaaazing. does the drafthouse need a sous chef? or a taster? i’m a good taster.

finally, I can’t believe so many of you have stopped watching GG. Oh, sure, it sucked major ass. BUT THERE WAS ALWAYS CHUCK.

I was wondering how many films you made it through. I looked back after one of the movies and didn’t see you where you had been. The 2nd film Quentin chose was MUCH better than the first. Sorry you didn’t get to see it.

I’d ask where the Alamo got the Nazi flags, or whether an intern was forced to sew them, but I think I’m just as happy not having an answer to that question.
