Patton Oswalt pimps ‘Foot Fist Way’ at Alamo South
I will be heading over to the Alamo South Lamar tonight at 10 to check out ‘Foot Fist Way,’ presented by Oswalt. Patton is in town as part of the Ratatouille Comedy Tour and it actually presenting that film at the Original Alamo at 7 p.m. But, as I am not one for animated anthropomorphic cinema, I will be checking out the underground ‘Foot Fist Way.’ Although Oswalt had absolutely no hand in the production, he is apparently a huge champion of the indie film. The folks at the Alamo paraphrased Oswalt’s sentiments (for the young and impressionable out there) this way on their Web site:
“Another film to look out for is ‘The Foot Fist Way.’ … I watched this yesterday morning and nearly laughed myself into a kidney stone. I’m not sure how that works, but the film’s (freakin’) funny. Danny R. McBride, Ben Best and Jody Hill have crafted a low-budget, Southern flavored ‘The Office,’ if Ricky Gervais’ character taught tae kwon do — badly. I don’t want to spoil the surprises, the cringe-inducing moments of hilarity, and spot-on dialogue… .”
Sounds like something the kids at the ‘Ratatouille’ screening will probably need to avoid. Just another send-off at the Alamo from one of their favorite guests, and a testament to the importance of the theater on Austin’s cultural landscape.
