The view on movies
A few things to keep you busy while we wait for the movie version of “Barbara vs. Star.”
— Austin Outsider unveils the Asphalt Planet Web site.
— Austinist is giving away tickets to the “Quality of Life” screening tonight.
— A look ahead to “Wassup Rockers,” set to open in Austin on July 21, and “Who Killed the Electric Car?,” slated for July 28.
— Wired time-travels to the future, when all commercial theaters are closed and we’re nostalgic to re-create the moviegoing experience of yore: “This module provides one of the most vital aspects of the early 21st-century movie experience: the thrilling chirps and trills of ringing cellular phones. We’ve programmed the generator with over three hundred authentic antique cell-phone alert signals, or ‘ringtones,’ including ‘Laffy Taffy,’ ‘My Humps’ and ‘Please Let Me Touch Your Secondary Sexual Characteristics.’ “
