From the opening frames of The Fourth Kind, it has that eerily real Blair Witch Project kind of feel. Milla Jovovich comes on the screen claiming the things you are about to see are based on real events, and contain real footage and audio from the story's protagonist, leaving it up to the viewer to decide what they believe.
Most of us who have read Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak remember its haunting loneliness, its unadulterated childlike imagination, and its underlying anger, verging on violence.Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are is not a children’s film, rather a film about the exquisite loneliness and angry defiance of childhood.The aching that each of us has felt for some direction, some sense of belonging to something, to someone, the deep need for an absent or distracted parent’s affection.
It's been floating around the gossip mill for a couple of weeks now as it slowly began making its presence known in that little corner on South Lamar that it calls home, but this Friday marks the official Grand Opening day of The Highball, Tim and Karrie's League's latest social/science experiment that will give Austinites yet another reason to be proud to call this city home.
You've heard the rumors. Bowling. Karaoke. Skeeball! Food. Booze. No, heaven isn't opening its gates to visitors, but The Highball, the new entertainment brainchild of Tim and Karrie League's is.
Just in time for Fantastic Fest, the space is ready for visitors, and this weekend the public is invited to come check it out before the official opening later in October. This special preview event has a purpose, though: it's to help get everyone trained and pumped up for the global Thrill the World celebration on October 25th, where all of humanity (alright, some of humanity) does the Thriller dance in unison. Doors open at 10pm, with dance lessons starting promptly at 10:30pm. The lesson will last for about 45 minutes, to give you a taste of what it's like to do this classic performance en masse, followed by an MJ-packed dance party featuring some of his best dance hits, a few mash-ups, and some songs by other artists that use samples from the King of Pop's music.
For just $5 you not only get to break in the new dancefloor and celebrate the late, great Michael Jackson, but you also great to brag for years to come that you were soooo into The Highball before everyone else was. A limited amount of tickets are available online at www.originalalamo.com. Please note that during this first week, the venue is strictly 21 and up.
