On a cold, rainy Friday at Warren Wilson College, Asheville City Council members sat down for their annual retreat. By the time it was over, seven hours later, Council had sworn to “hold the line” on property taxes, looked into an uncertain budget picture and spent most of the time modifying their strategic plan. They also talked about … boats.
In this week’s Elitist Bastards Go To The Movies podcast, Mountain Xpress film critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther talk about current releases The Roommate and Sanctum, as well as giving a preview of The Oscar Nominated Short Films 2011. They also discuss the early Robert Rodriguez schlock-horror flick From Dusk Till Dawn (this week’s Thursday Horror Picture Show) and the classic Charlie Chaplin film City Lights (next week’s Asheville Film Society screening). And just to keep themselves limber, they also chat about upcoming releases The Illusionist, The Eagle, Just Go with It and Gnomeo & Juliet before working themselves into an infuriated froth over the mere existence of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.
