One more surprise screening!!! the best yet?

So it's just one man's opinion (mine), but the secret surprise screening that we are adding today may very well be the best of the fest. This is a film that I saw earlier this year and it blew me away in every possible way. After the screening, I emailed the production company within 15 minutes of the closing credits using the most flowery persuasive words in my admittedly limited vocabulary. I begged for this film, I offered up promises that a sane man would never do.

After rampant misuse in the late 90s and the early years of 21st century, the Alamo programming office made a pact to never use the the descriptive phrase "Holy Grail" in reference to a film hunt ever again. I alas have no choice. I'm breaking the emergency glass and hucking out the only phrase that make sense. This film was my "Holy Grail" of the 2007 Fantastic Fest.

When I got the email this morning that in the 11th hour, the studio's will had broken and they submitted to my sobbing pleas, I was the happiest boy in the world. I am going to get to share this amazing film with a group of friends during my favorite week of the year, Fantastic Fest.

I can't tell you much about it. It's not a horror movie. It's a comedy. It's wonderful, it's strange and it blew my mind. In my opinion, miss this and miss Fantastic Fest. That's all I'm saying. I'll see you on Sunday at midnight... I recommend toting an extra pair of pants, I anticipate a mass loss of bowel control.
