Film I Love You, Man

March 20, 2009 - 12:09 pm

“…delivered a load of laughs onto the smiling faces of the audience attending the SXSW premiere…”

I Love You, Man is the latest film in the ever-growing “bromance” genre.  Paul Rudd plays Peter Klaven, a man head over heels in love.  But after proposing to his sweetheart, he realizes that he is sadly lacking in the male friend department.  So, in a rush to secure a best man for his wedding, he seeks out a dude to fill the coveted spot.  After a series of hilariously uncomfortable “man dates,” our hero meets Sydney Fife played by Jason Segel.  The two attempt a friendship built on a love of Rush, real estate and conversations about BJs. The whole affair is filled with enough single, double and triple-entendres for an adult film featuring an all-male cast.

Film Winnebago Man

“I don’t want anymore bullshit from anyone and that includes me!  No more!!!”  Angrier words may have never been spoken on internet video than these.  This collection of outtakes from an old industrial film features a frustrated old gentleman stumbling to just get through dialog that he himself wrote.  He’s clearly having the worst day in his life and his expletive-laden rants have become the stuff of internet video legend.  The video was originally passed among collectors on VHS tape decades ago, then made its way onto YouTube, the place where the pain and embarassment of others become hilariously entertaining.  The millions who watched it made Jeck Rebney a reluctant internet star.  But what is this man really like?  Why was he so angry?  And how did this entertaining video become so public?  Who is Jack Rebney and where is he today?

Film Filmmakers Sound Off On South By

March 15, 2009 - 4:11 pm


The annual trek to Austin, Texas in March for the SXSW Film Festival has been made by many notable filmmakers.  And once they take in the sights, sounds and culture permeating Sixth Street, they are hooked.  In fact, after losing their SXSW virginity, many make movies they plan to take to what is becoming the festival world’s most desirable destination.

Having covered SXSW and attended as a filmmaker a few years myself, I can attest to the fact that while other festivals are necessary for business, this one offers all the networking of those other festivals with more friendly fun than can be packed into days that seem to blur together.  A simple math equation might explain this best:
Great Films + Parties + Tex Mex + Texas Women + College Town + Local Brews – Pretentious Hollywood Attitude = The Best Fest in the West
