The /Filmcast: After Dark is a recording of what happens right after The /Filmcast is over, when the kids have gone to bed and the guys feel free to speak whatever is on their minds. In other words, it’s the leftover and disorganized ramblings, mindfarts, and brain diarrhea from The /Filmcast, all in one convenient audio file. In this episode, Dave, Devindra, and Adam and reveal some of their favorite movie quotes, contemplate their own fanboy/girl-ism, point out Malcolm McDowell’s on-screen sexual deviancy, and discuss the shame of owning Michael Bay DVDs. Our colleague and friend Angie Han joins us to keep us on our toes.

I flew back from the junket-filled weekend in Los Angeles to attend a super special screening of Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood at the famous Castro Theater in San Francisco. There were no advance ticket sales, only cash at the door, with the proceeds going to charity. One fan waited in line from 7:30am to see the film, and when I arrived at 5:30pm for the 7:30pm screening, the line was down the street, and around the block, into a parking lot behind the theater.
This event wasn’t open to traditional press, so it was interesting to see all the die hard San Francisco movie press in line with [...]
