THIS is welcome news. And if the Saegner holds true to what its marquee currently says (“Re-opening 2011″), we could have two hell of nice venues for cinema–or at least Richard Pryor stand-up shows–back in business in the near future. If Court 13 ever commandeers these spaces for any big event, hear us now: we [...]
Josh Ente held Court over our full-blown foray into Hotlanta, where he’s riding dirty on 85 + stretching our tentacles into the non-profit arts world.

To help his students make sense of this, a professor [...]
Hello blog devotees, and sorry for the month plus silence. The Court is as scattered as our opinions on the new Herzog movie about Aurochs. France, Texas, New York, and of course New Orleans – just to name a few of our recent global locales. One year ago today, we were making a crazy movie [...]
