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

I got the Bad Guts...reeeeeeeeaaaal hard.

...or funny guts. Or diarrhea. Or whatever you wanna call it. Whatever it was...it was explosive.
I think it really affected my judgement. There really may be monster poop in Monster Squad. But, ya know....I really can't remember. Hell, I can't remember alot of things.
I do remember that Milla Jovovich is hot. So, I guess I'm doing alright.
Speaking of hot. Episode 13 of San Antonio's favorite weird movie podcast (Fat and Skinny Go To the Movies) comes out swinging, and drops it like it hot.
We talk about the concept of 'Grindhouse'. And the possibility, of a new sub-sub-genre. Not well by any means, we went to art school. We're only so smart....or I'm only so smart. Jason is his usual lighthouse; shining the light of reason to my fog of confusion.
Listen to him lay it down about director Neil Marshall...he sounds like a totally real movie reviewer dude. It's kinda awesome.

We also get surprising current as we talk about Piranha 3-D and Machete. Ya know, for such a weak summer, it real did end with a bang. Seriously, sometimes Hollywood...you are reading my mind.

...and for the rest of it we recap the fine film franchise which is proudly know as 'Friday the 13th'.
...I mean, 13th episode...it's 'natch.

And I'm sure there is some other stuff of interest. As we really are only the Greetest....but, I forget. (see above)

ps... "after the fact, no-prizes" to "the boyz"... AND, to all the peeps I saw Piranha 3-D with. You know who you are...you are the beautiful people.
