ALTMAN AILS. I was all set to tout Robert Altman's appearance at The Pioneer, which was scheduled for tonight, but it seems that the director ain't gonna show due to a flu bug. I hope he gets well soon!

So tonight's a good time to see Altman's latest, A Prairie Home Companion.

As for other movie highlights at the Pioneer: Psychopathia Sexualis continues its run while Carrie--a favorite here--wreaks her havoc (right) at 11:00 pm on Saturday, June 24. BAT has previously noticed the similarity between Paris Hilton and Brandon Davis and a couple in Carrie.
