Here’s most of the cast of “Otis,” which had a midnight screening Friday at the Alamo Ritz. Pollak and Douglas told us they couldn’t BELIEVE how crazy Sixth Street was when they poured out around 2 a.m. Drunk people everywhere, they said, and general bedlam.

Steve James and Peter Gilbert, co-directors of ‘At the Death House Door’ And now, this second, we’re off to talk to Rosario Dawson, star of “Explicit Ills.” More on that later …
