Butt-Numb-A-Thon 4

[Tony Ryan]

Thinking of going this year

Would like to hear from people who have gone before and what they thought of it.

Thanks.

Also, anyone else planning on going this year?

[Smilin' Jack Ruby]

Like every year, I really want to go this year. It just always seems like something comes up last minute - like trying to see the 'Stros in L.A.

[Katanga]

I don't know if its cross-country worthy, man. Some fun films are on display.

Now the QT festivals are a diiferent animal altogether.

[Tony Ryan]

No QT fest for a few years, this'll have to do.

You gonna be there this year? Could have a little CHUD get together before or after and during event? Be fun....

[Katanga]

Yeah, man...I'd be down with that.

[Tony Ryan]

Cool.

Let's see what goes done when the time comes closer.

[Adam Price-qatsi]

Uhh, butt numb a thon?

I think I'm lost.

It's Harry Knowles's annual 24-hour movie marathon he does in Austin. Usually screens a couple of classics, some cult films, a rare, hard-to-find film or two, and often a world premiere of something. And since he's tight with some big names, there's usually some great guest visits.

[Adam Price-qatsi]

Bloo bloo bloo bloo blee.

[Momotaro]

bloopity bleep

[Michael Rabattino]

Christ, I don't know how people can sit down for 24 hours straight like that. I nearly killed myself trying to watch the 24 marathon on Labor Day.......

More power to you folks.....

At my school, I'm gonna organize a Wes Anderson-fest. Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums, back-to-back, projected on the big screen, with cool interludes in between movies in the theatre lobby complete with soundtrack music, themed decorations and themed snacks (including dalmation-mouse shaped cookies, fuck yeah!).

As Halloween nears we'll have a horror movie fest. Maybe later a Tarantino-a-thon. It oughta be cooooool.

[Momotaro]

Sweet. Can you get me on the list?

[Adam Price-qatsi]

Hehe, it'd be free, I'm sure.

It'd also be at my school, with students attending. In other words, I'm not putting ads in the paper, etc.

[Trillian]

I LOVE YOU! What school are you at? All our students are brainless Orange County lovers, no one would show up to a Wes Andersen fest. But I would enjoy it immensley. And I have a cookie-mouse recipe if you'd like it.

[Tony Ryan]

I've got to write a fucking 500 word essay!

Damn...

[Tony Ryan]

For anyone in the know is there an age restriction at BNAT?

Cause I'm 16 and I want to know if I can get in before I write the essay thing.

[Eyeball Kid]

If they're having it at the Alamo Drafthouse again, then you probably need to be 21 (they serve alcohol), or maybe 18. I'd dash off a quick e-mail to Harry or Moriarty for the scoop.

[Eyeball Kid]

Whoops. See the "Info" section of <a href="http://www.alamodrafthouse.com." target="_blank">www.alamodrafthouse.com.</a>

Admission:
General Admission to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is $6, $4.50 student/senior (60+)/AFS, Monday admission is only $1 , and midnight shows, excluding special events, are $5.

Unless they make an exception for BNAT, it looks like you're out of luck.

I can get my dad to go if it all works out.

So I'm still up for it.

Thanks for the info.
