Longhorn Football Season Is a Sitcom in the Making

Like coach Mack Brown, I spent the Longhorns’ bye week watching tape. My TiVo was chock-full of new sitcoms to evaluate. Let’s put them to the tape and see how the season, both football and funny, stacks up:

Game On Austin

In case you missed the banner likely hovering above this very blog post, the Chronicle and ScreenBurn at SXSW are hosting a gaming event (Thusday, Oct. 15) to bring developers and gamers together. The two main ingredients are beer (for those of age) and video games, but there are enough components to spice up the recipe. Did I mention it's free?

Fantastic Fest: 'Fireball'

Fantastic Fest: 'Kaifeck Murder'

Ah, the countryside, so serene and peaceful. Yeah, right, unless it's the remote Bavarian village of Kaifeck. Like Tom Waits sang, there's always some killing you gotta do around the farm.

Fantastic Fest: House

Part of the appeal of Japanese cinema to the occidental audience is that it is a little more likely to catch a viewer jaded by Western conventions off guard. And then there's House.
