Quick Snaps (and Video): Will Ferrell in Austin

Will Ferrell

Last week, Austin Film Society held a sneak preview of the movie Everything Must Go with a special guest: the film's star, Will Ferrell. You may remember he was here a couple of years ago for a screening of Semi-Pro in which everyone emulated the movie's keen fashion sense. This time, no terrycloth sweatbands were present.

Slackerwood wasn't there, but AFS and Roadside Attractions have graciously shared the above photo as well as some video from the event, which we've embedded after the jump. If you've got photos of your own, feel free to share a link in the comments. And if you missed the preview too, Everything Must Go opens tomorrow here in Austin. We'll have a review for you in the morning.

In the first video clip, Alamo Drafthouse staffer Henri Mazza interviews Will Ferrell about the character he portrays in the movie.

Next, Ferrell introduces the movie and may or may not be propositioning AFS Director of Marketing Agnes Varnum (my, my).

And finally, from the Q&A moderated by Janet Pierson, Ferrell slips into character as George W. Bush, and proceeds to tell the audience about How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
