Linsanity Movie in Austin for SXSW (i'm guessing the LOF population is Austin is nil, but the Rocket fan population will be interested) http://www.austinchronicle.com/blog...es-closing-night-film-additional-programming/ More features have dropped into the lineup, too, including world premieres of Alicia Dwyer's comedic doc Xmas Without China and Matt Anderson's Fall and Winter "psycho-spiritual survival guide for the 21st century" and a Festival Favorites slate expanded to include Jeremy Lin doc portrait Linsanity and Sundance breakout The Spectacular Now, costarring ATX homeboy Kyle Chandler. (Did we seriously just type "homeboy"?? Sorry, Coach.)
http://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_FS14284 Linsanity Sunday, March 10 7:45PM - 9:13PM In February 2012, the New York Knicks, mired in a disappointing season and out of desperation, looked to the end of their bench and found Jeremy Lin, an undrafted free agent from Harvard. On the verge of seeing his lifelong NBA dream vanish, Lin – at, or near what was believed to be his last chance as an NBA professional, underwent a now-legendary run, obliterating stereotypes along the way, and in the process birthed a global phenomenon known as "Linsanity." Basketball -- and the world – was never the same. Grey_star

Hey, they went over the 2,000 backer mark! That means that all of us reward receiving backers get the signed thingamabob, right? Cool.
So has anyone on this board seen the movie? Or will I be the only one since I'm going to get movie pass for sxsw?
You must post a review of the doc and let us know your opinion of it. What date will you be watching it?

Repost...I think this the correct thread for these.... Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/movies/article...#ixzz2NAkYSXIT From Skyhoop....
Isn't Ben Lyons the official Knicks off-court video reporter? I remember he was the first one shouting "Welcome to the Knicks" to gloomy Lin entering the Golden State Warriors arena the day when Lin was just released but picked up by the Knicks to play his first game against his former hometown team. Surprised Ben Lyons is still following Lin and came all the way to attends Lin's film screening. But considering he was the first one to welcome Lin when Lin was nobody on the Knicks and then witnessed Lin's magical journey at MSG, maybe it shouldn't be a surprise.
