Fans of Austinite Ben Steinbauer's Winnebago Man will recognize hosts (and founders) of the traveling Found Footage Festival Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher as the guys behind the California FFF screening of Jack Rebney's infamous Winnebago commercial outtakes (a viral sensation that earned the onetime actor the title of "The World's Angriest Man") – a screening that turned out to be a redemptive, even triumphant evening for Rebney, who was in attendance. Of course, most of the footage screened at FFF isn't gonna make anybody feel warm and fuzzy – not unless you get sentimental over cable access and Eighties workout videos – but there is some very funny stuff to be seen. Prueher says there's a local angle to this year's lineup, too – a clip from Austin public access TV show Citizens Live, "a call-in show from the 1990s in which the husband and wife hosts are bombarded by a series of prank calls." The show takes place Sunday night (5/10) at 7:30pm at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar. Buy tickets here.

Call them what you will – browser games, flash games, time sucks, marriage destroyers – the popularity of simple games for nongamers is a huge market. In an attempt to save you time searching for a way to waste your time, I've started a weekly series of web-based games that, god willing, won't get you fired from your job.

First off, Cursor*10. Created by Yoshio Ishii – who made a name for himself with the beautiful and repeatedly surprising Hoshi Saga (write me if you can figure out how to finish stage 21, I'm stumped) – Cursor*10 blends stark simplicity with true innovation.

Cursor*10 offers few instructions but claims that you will "Cooperate by oneself?!" (the interrobang is his, not mine). What starts as a simple race up stairs halts when you come to a spot where another player is necessary to proceed. Frantically looking for another option, your cursor's painfully short life span ticks away. Upon dying, cursor 2 springs to life, accompanied by the ghost of cursor 1 doing everything you did on your last turn the same way. The trick is not necessarily to survive but to die in the most advantageous way to ensure that the next cursor in line can ascend more staircases. By the end things get a bit frantic as 10 cursors are flying around all trying to help lucky number 10 get to the top. The controls couldn't be simpler, and the "game over" model of play couldn't be more upended.

Ishii created a second session of Cursor*10 for the people who can't stop playing with themselves.

Enjoy.

Film distribution titan Harvey Weinstein spoke via satellite with John Pierson's Master Class at UT-Austin on Monday. Asked for comment about Quentin Tarantino's new war movie Inglourious Basterds, which will premiere in Cannes in a couple of weeks, Weinstein quipped: "There are gonna be a lot of happy Jews out there." Brad Pitt stars in the film as the leader of an American unit of Nazi killers. The film opens nationally on August 21.

The sour economy forced local PBS affiliate KLRU to lay off twelve staff members on May 5, as well as make several programming changes. The most visible change includes suspending overnight hours, signing off from 1am to 6am. The Emmy Award-winning Docubloggers, which was profiled in the Chronicle last August, will go on (a permanent-sounding) hiatus, while iNCONTEXT will become a series of occasional specials focusing on the local arts community. Programs unaffected by the cost-cutting measures include Texas Monthly Talks and Central Texas Gardener.

Matt Tyrnauer, Vanity Fair special correspondent and director of the documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor, will be at the Arbor Theatre on Wednesday (5/5) and Thursday (5/6) to conduct Q&A sessions at the 4:50 and 7:15 shows. (See the Chron's review here.) Tyrnauer followed the legendary fashion designer around with a camera for 3 years; we're betting he's got some scoop that didn't make the final cut. Speaking of scoop (rimshot!), check out this video of Valentino's five pampered pugs. 'Cause there's nothing like watching a pug get his teeth brushed to the sound of a Fellini-esque score to really jumpstart your afternoon.

Skins is the best (and hippest) British teen drama you've never seen. And if you have had the good fortune of catching it on BBC America or on DVD you most certainly concur. Skins ended its first season with one of the lead characters getting hit by a bus, which is an effect the show tries to impose on viewers through the implementation of more outlandish plot twists each week. Each episode focuses on one of the many characters of the ensemble cast, expertly weaving their stories together to create a promiscuous world of teenage drinking and drugging wherein these kids (only a step up on the morality ladder from the youth of Larry Clark's Kids) deal with some adult issues. Sexual confusion, pregnancy, disabling health issues, sex with teachers, drug addiction, abandonment, what to wear, etc. – just the typical slate of problems most kids face these days. American viewers will recognize the outstanding and hilarious Dev Patel from his breakthrough performance in Slumdog Millionaire; he is just one of the many impressive actors featured in Skins. If you like your teen dramas edgy, decadent, and fun, head to your nearest indie DVD retailer or your Netflix queue: Season two premiered on a three-disc DVD (BBC Warner, $39.98) on April 14.

As you probably read in yesterday's Chronicle, Gov. Rick Perry dropped by Troublemaker Studios last week to sign House Bill 873, the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program reform bill. Legeland managed to catch up with bill author Rep. Dawnna Dukes, D-Austin, Texas Film Commission boss Bob Hudgins, and the space-faring Lord British himself, Richard Garriott after the signing to explain exactly why Texas needs a fully-functioning incentive program.

Cine las Americas, Austin's annual exploration of Latin cinema, wrapped officially with last night's screening of the Spain/Mexico coproduction Arráncame la Vida and news today of the jury and audience award winners. Full list after the jump.

The other day, we got an email from the Austin Planetarium, and our first reaction was, Wait, what? Austin has a planetarium? That's awesome. Well, not quite: It started as an exploratory committee and has since matured into a nonprofit that's doing its darndest to get a planetarium to Austin. ('Cause seriously? That would be awesome.) You can show your support for the plan – and hang with other Trekkie fans – by buying a ticket to the Austin Planetarium sponsored Star Trek premiere party and IMAX screening next Friday (May 8) from 6 to 9pm at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum. (The film screens at 9:30pm.) Party highlights include: a performance by the Austin Wind Symphony featuring "Music From the Final Frontier"; a Trek costume contest; a performance by Start Trekkin (Austin improv group); and a raffle for a chance to win a Zero-G flight from Space Adventures with Richard Garriott.
