Its really not our place to tell anyone to do anything. We post suggestions of things you could do, but you certainly don’t have to do them. But this time we’re telling you: Go to the Texas Travesty Film Festival tomorrow at 9pm at the Texas Union Theater. In fact, get there early (8pm) for “4-20 treats” and a Karaoke competition. Chances are you will thank us, because you are guaranteed to laugh at this thing. Just show up at the Union Theater tomorrow and you’ll see what we mean.

We just spent an ungodly amount of time writing a post about the 8th annual Cine Las Americas Film Festival. It was informative, hilarious, serious, everything a post should be. Unfortunately an ill-timed browser crash wiped the unsaved post clean, deleting it’s ingenious content from our hard drive forever. So with much sadness we buckled down and began a new post (this post). A less tenacious blog would have given up altogether, but as much as we would like to take credit for this persistence we must admit that it actually is due to the sheer awesomeness of Cine Las Americas Film Festival. We would write thousands more posts on it too (although they would get progressively shorter) because we think you need to know about it.
Cine Las Americas Film Festival showcases some of the top-quality films made by Natives and Latinos across the American continent. Over seven years it has become one of the largest Latin American film festivals in the nation. Year eight is no exception; they’ve packed a shitload of great films into a five-day period. Opening night kicks off this Wednesday, April 20 at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum starting at 7pm. The films continue until the following Sunday. Keep in mind its still not too late to purchase an all-access pass for only $60.
You should also keep in mind that the free (and excellent) Cine Las Americas panels and screenings at the University of Texas (which started today) will continue tomorrow with three more great discussions, so its not too late for that either. Check below for more info. Now if we can only post this without it crashing…

I know April’s halfway over, but there’s still a shitload of stuff to check out at the Drafthouse (but what else is new). Here’s some highlights:

• Fearless Freaks, Starts 4/15 - Village
  If you missed this music documentary about the Flaming Lips during SXSW, now’s your chance to check it out. Highly recommended.
• The Sinus Show: Travoltathon, Starts 4/15 - Downtown
  The Sinus guys are back, this time they’ll be lampooning some choice clips from the distinguished filmography of one John Travolta.
• The Animation Show, Starts 4/15 - South Lamar
  Don Hertzfeldt returns with others in one of the best animated shorts programs around
• The Comedians of Comedy w/ Live Comedy, 4/19 - Downtown
  Another great documentary from SXSW, and by far the funniest. Plus check out some of Austin’s own comedians before the movie.
• The South Park Movie Sing-along, 4/20 - Downtown
  Need I say more?
• The Films of Kim Jong Il: Pulgasari, 4/25 - Downtown
  See some quality North Korean propaganda / Godzilla-esque action. Plus Kim Jong Il live in person (pending state dept. approval). $1 Night!
• The Beaver Trilogy, 4/27 - Downtown
  Some things are just two wierd to describe. Everyone should see this. Crispin Glover’s best performance.
• Enron: Smartest Guys in the Room, Starts 4/29 - South Lamar
  Yet another great SXSW doc. About the fall of Enron.

If you havn’t attended any screenings of the excellent Martin Scorsese film series at the beautiful (almost sexual) Paramount Theatre then it may upset you to learn that it is nearly over. It’s not too late to catch Raging Bull or Goodfellas though, with screenings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. And we know those are the only ones you wanted to see anyway.

If you thought the Scorsese retrospective was cool, you may be pumped about the Paramount’s upcoming Bergman retrospective in May; Ten of the director’s best films screened under the roof of one of the best places in the world to take in a movie. Seven of these films are brand new 35mm prints. You gotta love the Paramount. Check out their website for a schedule.
