Movie Night, 1/23/14

Brittany and I have plans this Thursday, so we will be hosting movie night at our house the following week, on January 23.  I am sorry for the late notice. (Actually, this is Brittany typing, pretending to be Austin, because he is still at work and I keep bugging him about posting for the past few days and he has been too busy and can't remember.) He is still deciding on what movie to play.

I apologize for my husband. ; )

He will post details about next week's movie night very soon so please check back.

January 9, 2014 // Hands on a Hard Body // Caroline

Flash back to 1995. Girls were watching Clueless in their pink and green plaid Burberry jammies while gossiping with friends about latest “crushes” and boys were watching Batman Forever while calling every neighbor to ask if their “refrigerator was running.”


It was a great year. We were all awkward. But not as awkward as grown-ass men and women in Longview, Texas who put themselves up for the physical AND mental task of putting their hands on a hard, waxed body (pickup truck, get your minds out of the gutter) for as long as they possibly could in order to win said truck. You know they must have gotten tired. Their knees must have locked up. What if they had to scratch their…

As they say in East Texas, “This is when the big dogs hunt. If you can’t hunt with the big dogs, get up on the porch with the pups.”

Please join me at 7:00pm this Thursday (January 9) as we watch Hands on a Hard Body, a documentary about the struggles and triumphs of the 72-hour-long contest.

House Garry.
Pizza provided.

Thoughts?

Hey guys, Updated the blog with what I think is the new showing order but let me know if it's wrong! I've got work travel this Monday - Wednesday night and things might still be a little crazy Thursday. I think B&A will also still be out of town, and Ben will be in Miami for work... so what do you guys think about postponing movie night until after the holidays settle down? Maybe the week after Christmas? Let me know what you think!

Dancer, Texas - Pop. 81

This week, we'll be viewing Dancer, Texas - Pop. 81! I'm not going to give much away.  Let's just say that it's high school graduation weekend in Dancer, Texas and the population could soon plummet to 76.   It could be the first movie night selection that is rated PG.  I don't think there are any frosted tips in this movie, there's no sex with swimming reptiles, and you won't leave wondering how the director avoided getting arrested, but it's humorous and though provoking and it reminds me of the little place I lived most summers when I was growing up (Lenorah, Texas - Pop. 46).

When: 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, December 11, 2013
Where: 1617 Fannin, Apt 2903
Who:  Trill Movie Night People
Why: Why not?

Pizza will be provided. Bring beer.

November 21, 2013 // The Holy Mountain // Bjorn

Hello all, this week I will be hosting at Springer's place and I will be showing Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain. It was made in 1973 and defies description. Each scene looks completely different from the scene that preceded it, and not unlike Santa Sangre, relies heavily on symbolism and shock value.
Join me at 7:30 at Casa de Springer for pizza, beer, and disturbing and sacreligious imagery!

November 14, 2013 // 12 Years A Slave // Rory

On Thursday, November 13, 2013 Rory showed the sobering "12 Years A Slave" based on the memoir by Solomon Northup

November 7th, 2013 // Paris is Burning // Ben

This Thursday, we'll be taking a look at one of the following three extremely specific subcultures; care to guess?

• Communist Bolivian hipsters from the 1920s 
• Gay minority drag queens from New York City in the 1980s
• Expatriate Phillipino drug runners in Canada in the 1800s

If you guessed gay minority drag queens from New York City in the 1980s you win our prize! which is pizza! which is the same as our consolation prize!

So please join me this Thursday at 7:00 p.m. at House Garry for pizza, beer, and learning the origins of "working it"

Fabulously Yours,
