It's the perfect opportunity both for longtime fans to celebrate their idols and for new recruits to be welcomed into the bosom of Python. To the jump!

   

Good morning, class. Unfortunately your regular Bostonist couldn’t make it to the IFC Media Project’s town hall at MIT yesterday, so you’ll have to make do with a substitute teacher. One word out of any of you and it’s straight to the principal’s office!

The South By Southwest Festival in Austin has three components: Music, Film, and Interactive. And probably nobody navigates their way between these three worlds as well as Henry Rollins. Best known for his musical career (Black Flag, Rollins Band), Rollins has parlayed that into a career as a "jackass of all tirades" - actor, author, corporate speaker, unflinching social critic. He gave a freewheeling, honest talk at a one-on-one interview session with Esquire journalist Andy Langer.

This weekend The Baxter drops into theaters in Boston. It's one of those "now in select cities" things, and we're up. Bostonist has seen the trailers all over the place and we're actually looking forward to this movie. A comedy for anyone who's ever been dumped? check. It's from the folks at IFC and The Onion to boot. It stars Michael Showalter (Stella) and co-stars Paul Rudd (The 40-Year Old Virgin) and Michael Ian Black (Stella, Ed). Catch interviews of Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black on Chicagoist and Gothamist. And if you are curious if you might be a Baxter just take the quiz
