Anticipating the Little Rock Film Fest



UPDATE: Tickets for the "Fast Times" screening are available here exclusively. Craig Renaud tells me they're selling briskly. So get em while they're hot.

I'm about to go to a "Purchase Your Pass Party" for the Little Rock Film Festival, where there will be discounted beer and networking. I guess they had that idea before they came up with this one: On Tuesday, they'll be a preview of the festival at Riverdale 10, highlighted by a screening of one of the greatest cinematic achievements ever, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," followed by a Q&A with Judge Reinhold that Times contributor Derek Jenkins will moderate. 7:30 p.m. With an after-party at Crush.

So, if you reach back as far as Legend of Boggy Creek, why not some other Joy Hauck classics? Where's Wishbone Cutter? And while we're re-visiting moments in the past, why not screen Pass The Ammo? I'm sure Randy Hankins (aka Craig O'neill) won't mind revisiting his most famous line. C'mon guys, let's have some fun. On a more serious cinematic note: can ya'll not get Shotgun Stories in there? It is righteously accurate, and not to be missed.

"Fast Times at Ridgemont High" has an article on AV Club.com today. Good article. Good movie.

The old Safeway store at the corner of 12th and Cedar Streets doesn't look like much these days - a peeling blue hulk of a building, marooned between the Willie Hinton Community Resource Center and the church on the next corner. /more/

Tracy Ingle - who was shot five times by a North Little Rock SWAT team during a no-knock drug raid back in January - was slapped with a gag order during his first court appearance since a story about his case was published in the Arkansas Times on March 24. /more/

As Judge Wendell Griffen says, courage is not a vice (though critics seem to fault him for having it) but a virtue. /more/
