QT Presents: Hostel
Oct 29th
The teaser trailer for ‘Hostel’ has been released. This is another one of the ‘Quentin Tarantino presents…’ type movies that he didn’t have anything to do with, but liked enough to lend his name in the hopes of getting the film more attention that it otherwise would have.
Also: Official Hostel site.

Dark Horizons is reporting that Jarratt has already signed for ‘Grind House’ and may have a role in Inglorious Bastards as well.
Poker Tourney
Oct 21st
Wish me luck boys, I’m playing in the Online Poker Blogger Championship Sunday.
UPDATE: There were 1400+ players and I ended up finishing around 150th. I didn’t see the exact number because I was a bit steamed after going all in with KK and being up against AA. Oh well.
