THE ART OF BROWNSVILLE - COMMENTS

Remember my new found addiction to Cable TV? So I have also found that I am a sucker for TV movies. This morning I cried when Macauly Culkin died in "My Girl" and tonight I cried when Selena died in the Selena movie. Wow. I remember I went to go see Selena at Movies 10 and as a former, avid Tejano NON-fan, I remember trying to fight tears at the end. Now, I like Tejano okay, so I let myself bawl it out at the end of Selena, but I was suprised by crying for "My Girl". I didn't cry when I watched it like 10 years ago (eek!). I can even remember going to see it at the Northpark Plaza. I remember movies costed $1.50 back then! And then we would go on Tuesday nights to get in for 50 cents. Now I think that theatre is a church or something like that. No disrespect to the church, but I think it would be awesome if someone would revive that theatre and make into an indie theatre, like the Landmark Dobie Theatre in Austin. They could also show old Mexican films with Pedro Infante and Cantinflas! La India Maria too! God those films are the bomb!

So on the topic of film, I heard that CineSol will be held in McAllen this year and not at the Island. I heard the City of McAllen offered the film festival a considerable amount of money to hold the event there. I also hear that there will be a a lot of great entries this year. I will try to keep you all informed.

I am having trouble figuring this new template out so I have not managed to get the links up. I may have to look into different options or return to a simpler format. Who knows....anyone have any suggestions?
