Austin Escorts In The News!

Dear Austin: You have way too much dirt build-up on your shoulders, you’ve allowed your problems to accumulate until they’re just short of 100, and despite repeated admonitions, you’ve been slacking on your pimping. Fortunately, Jay-Z is coming to lecture you on all of the above, finally answering rumors that he’d embark on an extensive fall tour—details about which he’s been extremely guarded, as Hova is in some sort of paranoid stage where he suspects everyone of being a potential spy: Witness his recent vow to hand-deliver copies of The Blueprint 3 to his own record company. But this morning all speculation ended when it was announced that Mr. Carter would drop through Austin on Saturday, Nov. 22 at the Frank Erwin Center, an arena that, like Jay, also packs heat like an oven door (although by then it should have relented slightly). Tickets go on sale Sept. 12 at 10 a.m., and there’s no reasonable doubt that this won’t sell out.

Milwaukee police say arrested man’s DNA links him to slayings of 9 women since 1986
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Milwaukee man authorities say is linked by DNA to the slayings of nine women since 1986 was captured by police after an alert officer spotted his car at a motel, authorities said.
Walter E. Ellis, 49, has been charged in the deaths of two of the nine victims, and more charges are expected this week, prosecutors said Monday.
Police said a DNA sample from Ellis’ toothbrush matched samples from the bodies of nine women aged 16 to 41 who were killed between 1986 and 2007. Investigators believe eight of the women were prostitutes and one was a runaway.

One of the big problems with the film is Joel’s wife, played by Kristin Wiig. Wiig does well, gets a couple laughs, and actually shows some potential to play real, three-dimensional roles in the future, something she hasn’t really done in any films yet. However, her character does something that is so totally out of touch with everything we know about her that not only do we lose sympathy for her and her husband, we wonder why in the world the movie would have gone in this direction. *slight spoilers to follow, stop now if you’re not interested in learning* Joel hires a male prostitute (Dustin Mulligan) to try to seduce his wife so that he won’t feel guilty if he has an affair… and it works, despite the fact that the male prostitute is a one-note unintelligent buffoon. Judge even sets the film up so that Joel thinks she has cheated, but we are reassured by the way the scenes be …

In Extract, we come upon Joel (the always reliable Jason Bateman) at a time in his life when things aren’t so good.  His job is causing him a lot of stress and his marriage isn’t as romantic as it once was.  One night while lamenting about these things to his best friend Dean (Ben Affleck as we’ve never seen him before), they hatch a plan that involves male prostitution and an extra marital affair.  When neither of those work, Dean suggests weed, which predictably ends with little to no success.  It must be said that the scene where Joel smokes up with Dean and his roommate is one of the funnier scenes in the movie.  Meanwhile, Joel and his extract company could be sued into oblivion by a disgruntled employee and an ambulance chasing lawyer (Gene Simmons playing a sleazeball; what a stretch, right?)

Judge simply leans too far toward the absurd this time. There probably is a sex-starved extract plant owner like Joel (Jason Bateman) out there, but neither you nor I know him. Same for the gigolo (Dustin Milligan) hired to seduce Joels wife. The appeal of Judges previous work comes from the familiarity of the situations and characters, and believability is what Extract lacks. One ridiculous development would have seemed realistic, but when industrial accidents, prostitution and con artists combine, colloquial charm is traded in for more conventional, randomized laughs. The logic seems to be that if enough darts are thrown at someones funny bone, one will stick; that clashes with the way problems hit an everyday life. Granted, there are the truly terrible days where calamities pile up, but problems usually come one at a time, taking up all a persons attention. Extract should have similarly focused on one problem, as Office Space did. That film was basically an elongated sitcom episode, a style that suits Judges writing and would have suited the running time of Extract, which clocks in at 91 minutes.

debuted in 2007. Last spring was the biggest SXSWi yet and if looks as though 2010 will be even bigger. 
Each fall the panels for the spring conference are chosen via an online “Panel Picker” poll. The voting ends today, so if you want to have any input you might want to head over there, NOW! Just browsing some of the proposals on the Panel Picker can be fun. It seems the strategy for a lot of organizers is to make a provocative panel title that will hopefully get votes. There is the sexy: “Librarian Glasses or Stripper Heels” the ridiculous “BAM! An Entire Statewide University System Goes Virtual”  the enigmatic “Sex, Puppies and Golden Microphones”  the boozy “Booze Blogging: Liquid Conversation”  and the nerdy: “Accessibility In Microsoft Silverlight” … ok, well … they’re all pretty nerdy.

Again, there are some laugh out loud moments, most involving Affleck’s Dean. He really landed all the best lines in this movie somehow, or perhaps he’s so used to being so many slacker/stoner characters in Kevin Smith movies that he really just felt in his comfort zone here. He delivered. And so did Milligan, surprisingly, as the dimwitted prostitute, but his act gets old very quickly. Wiig, who I adore on Saturday Night Live, has remarkably little of interest to do until the very end of the film. And while Kunis’s Cindy gets off to a fun start, stealing from guitar salesmen Nick Thune and Hal Sparks, the resolution is kind of a letdown. Gene Simmons’ lawyer isn’t remotely funny, he mostly exists to fit the word “balls” into the film about a thousand times. J.K. Simmons on the other hand, does the best with his limited role, as usual. Bateman plays the straight man, much like his Arrested Development character Michael Bluth, the crazine …

… To digress briefly: Imagine if, in the name of industrial health and safety, every Hollywood comedy was required by law to post a sign reading, “__ days without a shot-to-the-groin joke.” It would embarrass screenwriters into being more creative with their attempts at humour, and could easily stop 60% of all Steve Martin family comedies and the upcoming John Travolta/Robin Williams picture Old Dogs at the pitch-meeting stage. I know, but a critic can dream.)
Joel seems content to sit back and hope for the best on the testicular lawsuit front, but he’s more active in his pursuit of Kunis’s character – who we know, from the opening scene, is not to be trusted. Joel’s barkeep friend (a slumming Ben Affleck, wearing Kevin Smith’s beard and James Franco’s Pineapple Express wig) has a plan. Joel will hire a male prostitute to seduce his wife. If she takes the bait, he can sleep with Kunis guilt-free; if not, he’s got proof of her fidelity. It’s a win-win, or at least what second-rate bartenders and sleep-deprived screenwriters describe as a win-win.

Joelâs best friend Dean (Ben Affleck from âœState of Playâ donning a hippie wig) tries to help Joel out of his doldrums, but all the advice he gives him is bad. The worst suggestion was to test his wifeâs faithfulness by hiring a male gigolo (Dustin Milligan from TVâs âœ90210â) to attempt to seduce her.
Judge, best known as the brains behind animated comedies like âœBevis and Buttheadâ and âœKing of the Hillâ, has a wry sense of humor and understands the foibles of the middle class.
Itâs too bad, however, that he hasnât figured out how to construct a strong narrative in feature length.
Still, his script is often quite funny and an excellent cast gives the movie a big boost.
Bateman is excellent as the put upon factory owner who is suffering from a mid-life crisis. While the incidents in the plot donât always ring true, Bateman effectively grounds his character in reality.
Plus, Wiig offers some keenly timed deadpan laughs and Milligan is very funny as the dunderheaded male prostitute.
