Still More Austin Film Blogging and Photos

In case you're not getting enough Austin film blogging here at Slackerwood, I thought I'd share some of my favorite recent photos and blog entries from other websites, all related to local movie stuff in one way or another.
- Slackerwood contributor Chris Holland took some excellent photos during opening night at the Alamo Ritz. I'm having severe camera envy right now -- my delightfully small camera is incapable of taking good photos in movie theaters. The photo with the confetti is amazing.
- Sarah (aka "sarah pants," "Sarah who's dating Henri," and "Sarah who's on a poster in my office for reasons too complicated to explain here") has blogged about Alamo's Blazing Saddles BBQ Tour. She also has a Flickr set from the event, as well as photos from Alamo's opening night -- I get the impression from these sets that she is fond of mac and cheese.
- One more Flickr set from the Alamo Ritz opening? Please? This one's from Wiley Wiggins and features action photos of the fighting gorillas. (A brief aside: I feel like I'm always linking to photos of one Alamo event or another. I would love to feature photos from other local theaters, but apart from the occasional Paramount premiere, I can't find any online. If I'm missing something, please comment with a link.)
- IndieWIRE contributor Agnes Varnum has just moved to Austin to work as the Communications Director at Austin Film Society. If you haven't read her blog, doc it out, now's the time. (I'm not just saying this because I met her last week.)
- Gov. Rick Perry's recommendation for your next movie: Bella, which he reviewed on Austin Movie Blog. The film is still playing in theaters around Austin, including the Arbor. The Governor says it will "warm your heart and brighten your life," what else do you need from a film?
- The Alamo Drafthouse blog has footage of Fantastic Feud, the late-night game show from Fantastic Fest hosted by my Cinematical colleague Scott Weinberg. I wouldn't have made it past the first round.
- Speaking of Alamo (again), Tim League offers some advice about where to park when attending films at Alamo Ritz. He would also like you to see Enchanted this weekend and claims he may dress as a princess on opening night. I think if he promised definitely to do so in the theater, he'd pack the house.
