Fat and Skinny Check Out Cinema by the Bay

Here in SF, it feels as if there is some sort of film festival every weekend. This weekend, however, San Francisco Film Society makes it a little more personal by presenting Cinema by the Bay, a celebration of Bay Area film makers. There are shorts, documentaries, and features, both fiction and non. (Some even have subtitles!) Our friends over at Bay Area Bourgeois have asked us to to take a little time out of our busy, schlocky movie-watching schedule and check out some of the program. We actually got a press kit and our first dvd advance screeners. It’s almost like real live journalism.

View the complete schedule here and purchase tickets here.

Matt's review of the Opening night feature is already up, go check it out.

Cheers, Jason

10, 11, wait for it...12! It's up!

12 is up! We cover some summer blockbusters, Inception and The Other Guys. And get into it about Visioneers and the "Torture Porn" genre. Matt get's real emotional, and makes up words like "satisfication". As usual, I fail to finish sentences or complete thoughts. Also, you might want to crack a beer and take a drink every time we say "torture porn".

If the volume is too low, let me know and I'll try to upload a louder one. However, that was my intention in the first place, so I don't know what to tell you.

To those of you with something to say, we need content for the blog. Feel free to send anything movie related you write to us at fatandskinnygo@gmail.com. We want your 2 cents!

Episode 9, no bad considering the bender...

...we stay mostly on subject, with wild tangents thrown in. Plus, we got hella movies in. How? I don't know.

Recorded on a Monday(Like a Solomon Grundy) ...we both seemed to have a bender weekend. Jason had a birthday weekend(it was his sweet 16), so he got wasted....and me, I just like benders.
And that includes movies benders.
So Episode 9...hair of the dog.
That might explain why we forgot to do our obligatory new episode blog post.
Well, here it is now.

Some shit we get into includes... Gone With the Pope, Pontypool, The Escapist, Stepfather, 2012, and Times Square. ...Yeesh.

I'm totally mental the whole time...and forget everything. (Except that ID4 was a bad movie, and you are a bad person if you like it)
I forgot to tell you:
the plot to Gone With the Pope (watch the trailer on our Facebook)
the specific shots in The Stepfather remake that are actually really good
that Congo was a the second feature at the Drive-In...and it's really a much better story.
Time Square is like Ghost World...and you fuckers loved Ghost World.

Among other things.

Jason?
Apparently, after a bender he becomes a super movie computer.
I.M.D.B....DAMN!
He is a pure pleasure of information to listen to.

I can't wait to get to Episode 10.
I wanna talk about my favorite movies when I was 10. But, that is fer another time.

Stay limber
or go timber.
