Go See Movies Other Than The Overrated Dark Knight...Altamont Now Screening This Wednesday 8/20 @ The EARL

...ok, before I get flamed here by a bunch of fanboys, I will say that The Dark Knight was a decent movie, just really really overrated...but that's not what this post is about.

The Atlanta Underground Film Festival is happening this week and there are a few movies that look interesting enough to check out. One of the most promising entries is a film called Altamont Now. It's playing at 10:30 pm this Wednesday night @ The EARL.

Since I have a hard time describing shit, I'll let the director, Joshua von Brown, speak for me...

"ALTAMONT NOW is a darkly comedic slice of the Indie Rock Apocalypse, a biting satire of how "alternative" youth culture borrows its rebellion from the past. Like a combo of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and "Wild in the Streets," it's the story of a mysteriously square journalist who happens upon a cult of indie rock revolutionaries living inside an abandoned nuclear missile silo with little idea of what they are "revolutionizing" against.

You Bet Your Sweet Ass It Does! The Kid Stays In The Picture, Part 1

Lately I've been obsessed with the audiobook version of Robert Evans' The Kid Stays In The Picture. For those of you that are unfamiliar with Evans' work, he was the studio head of Paramount Pictures during the company's glory years. Evans helped the studio produce The Godfather, Harold & Maude, Chinatown, Love Story, The Odd Couple, Rosemary's Baby, Marathon Man, The Getaway...I'm probably forgetting a few big ones too. In addition to his brilliant work in film, he did an amazing job of doing cocaine off of models and actresses. Robert Evans, I salute you!

Each week, or when I feel like it, I'll post one of the six discs of the audiobook.

Here's part one, enjoy...PM me for the password if you're a lameass that forgot it already.
