Viewing Notes

Brian Kelley’s pick for BTSNATX, the first movie to kick off our movie marathon at Austin Film Society.

As Brian was introducing the movie and naming some of the actors that appear I knew what it was having seen it already. This would be the only movie (besides mine) that I had seen before our event. I enjoyed it much more on this viewing (seeing it with a large crowd helped). I love all the cameo appearances and the general weirdness of the film. Good flick to start BTSNAT.
