Don’t panic. The two-hour premiere of the relaunched Dallas hasn’t started yet. Right now on TNT … let’s see … we’ve got an old episode of Law & Order that we’ve probably all slept through five times. … Yep, I’ve dreamed about Jesse L. Martin telling someone to “sit yo…
The clothes. The backstabbing. The most insidious family tree ever planted in an oil field. It’s “Dallas,” and it’s back. Wednesday night we’ll see if the three-decade morality struggle between J.R. and Bobby grows richer when legacy gifted to their heirs as our favorite Texas-centric melodrama picks back up in…
For the rest of the world, the body is a temple. Here in Texas it’s a dive bar where booze lives, so to celebrate the return of Dallas, we’ve put together a little libation inspiration. The show airs tonight at 8 p.m. on TNT, and whether you choose to watch…
First of all, we’re not crazy about tossing around the term “bitch” – at least not outside the context of safe words and “yes ma’ams” – but some asshat writer popularized the phrase in order to capitalize on one of Dallas’ most overwrought stereotypes, and it has unfortunately just kind…
Welcome back, Ewings. Where y’all been? Only in television limbo, it turns out, because everything that ever was on TV eventually is reborn. (Out of desperation, apparently. What else explains the soon-to-return Munsters?) Dallas is back as a “new” series tonight at 8 p.m., with a two-hour premiere on cable’s…
The Dallas Museum of Art announced yesterday that it received a $500,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, to support the advancement of the museum’s Conservation Department, which until recently was just one lonely man in a tiny room. The Eugene McDermott Director of the DMA, Maxwell Anderson, noticed…
A couple weeks ago, we reported on a panel discussion at CentralTrak, “1.2 Million Stories: State of the Emerging Arts,” conceived by Green Bandana Group founder, Darryl Ratcliff, and featuring such prominent young voices as Kevin Rubén Jacobs, Danielle Georgiou, Jerod Davies and Bryan Embry. Lasting more than 90 minutes,…
Summer is the season for light comedy at the theater and Boeing-Boeing, the farce now running at Addison’s WaterTower Theatre, will have your giggle muscles going boing-boing for two solid hours of funny. It’s a 1960s play, resuscitated successfully on Broadway three years ago, about one playboy (played here by…
This week, the first-ever Oak Cliff Film Festival kicks off in and around the Bishop Arts District. According to Texas Theatre/OCFF co-founder Barak Epstein, the fest is intended to be “a new hyper-local film festival that would all take place in one bikeable area.” So bikeable, in fact, that Saturday…
I’ll have to break somebody’s legs up in payroll before I make another trip over to Dolly Python, because that place has everything I want, but nothing I (particularly) need. *Not a real threat, payroll; I’m a writer, not a fighter.* Whenever I step through those doors, my staying on…
WFAA reported yesterday that “explosive t-storm development” was possible in North Texas. Not sure what an explosive thunderstorm was, but it sure as heckfire didn’t sound good. Plus, Delkus was telling us to strap in. Anyway, storms weakened late last night. Before that, however, Denton was treated to a Tesla-esque…
You think your friends are tough as nails? Unless they spent yesterday pounding hot dogs around the Scorpion’s Motorcycle Club stripper pole, they cannot one-up a Dallas Derby Devil. In effort to promote their upcoming bouts (The next of which is next Saturday, the 23rd at the Nytex Sports Centre…
You’re not a lone pervert: I initially read Fleshlight, too, when I saw that the progressive collective, Dead White Zombies, was up to another one of their “experimental theatre performance installation[s]” called Flesh World. As it turns out, that misinterpretation wasn’t so far off, as there was in fact a…
This amazing spoof of modern dating programs was created by Ben Stiller and set loose on the internets last week. While it most directly mocks “The Bachelor” (which is casting in Dallas this Wednesday), it isn’t much crazier than the rest of the crap we’re watching. Have you ever seen…
You know how in Portland, if you want to spruce something up you put a bird on it? Well in Dallas, a gas mask will suffice. 500X’s unjuried open show opened Saturday night with enough art to make your head spin. Some of it was insanely good. Some was, well,…
As I settled into my seat at the Winspear on Saturday night, I found myself in conversation with a young woman next to me. She mentioned that her parents had bought a block of tickets but couldn’t find anyone to use them. Strange, I said: Cosby’s a legend. Then again,…
1. Mad Men I can’t get the image out of my mind. You know what I’m talking about. A certain partner, hanging lifeless on a certain door of a certain office. … Oh, you know what? Screw you if you’re sensitive to spoilers. Get caught up like the rest of…
It’s not the first prestigious invitation that Dallas Black Dance Theatre has received, simply the most recent. The oldest, continuously operated professional dance company in Dallas, DBDT has built an extensive résumé of elite performances, representing the city everywhere from Washington state to New York to Austria. Since its founding…
Do you ever ask yourself what major motion pictures have been produced in your own backyard? Well, so did we and it was pretty surprising what we dug our of this concrete pretzel called Dallas/Fort Worth. Here’s a list of 10 prominent D/FW filmed flicks (in alphabetic order)! A few…
Dita Von Teese cannot be confined to one avenue of employment, while she’s known primarily for bringing back — and glamming up — the arena of burlesque as a whole, she’s also a fetish model, author, actress, creator of a German make-up line, and for the last several years, the…
This photo, taken by Reddit user Ben Brockert, is simply the best one we’ve come across. Damn, that Venus sure is sexy…
