Our dear departed Devin recently debuted a new dige- sonofabitch, that wasn’t even something I was trying to do!
Drafthouse Films, one of the first manifestations of the Alamo Drafthouse’s crazy plans to expand their much needed influence on our national cinema experience, showed immediate balls by tackling the controversial Four Lions as their first film. Now they’re joining up with Badass Digest (the other brand new manifestation of their plans) to tour the country and get the film in front of eyeballs.
Devin Faraci, former CHUD luminary, is the badass behind Badass Digest and will be joining the tour…
NATIONWIDE SCREENING AND Q&A TOUR
Austin, TX—Tuesday, October 26, 2010— Drafthouse Films is proud to bring famed UK satirist Chris Morris to the United States for a rare series of public Q&As following screenings of his hilarious terrorism comedy Four Lions. Morris will be visiting Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC, Boston and New York City, screening the Sundance and SXSW hit that critics are calling ‘funny,*’ ‘funny**’ and ‘funny.***’

Tagging along will be Devin Faraci, editor-in-chief of the Alamo Drafthouse’s new nerd lifestyle site, Badass Digest. Devin will be keeping a video diary from the road, sharing his adventures with readers of Badass Digest, as well as documenting the Q&As. ‘I’ve been a big fan of Chris Morris since his days on TV, with the incredible show Brass Eye,’ says Faraci. ‘So it’ll be exciting and more than a little intimidating to travel with him cross country.’
Please find the full list of Q&A screenings below. For RSVP instructions, please check the official website www.fourlionsfilm.com.
Here are the dates:
LOS ANGELES – Tuesday, October 26 at 8:00 PM / Cinefamily

You can check out the announcement at Badass Digest itself or the Facebook page for the film as well. Joshua reviewed the film positively not that long ago, and here’s a trailer link from Devin on CHUD, back well before he was ever involved with the film.
I know I’m excited to see Four Lions (bit bummed out, if unsurprised, that there’s no Atlanta stop), so I hope this leads to a nice wide opening for the film.

Well that certainly explains his non stop pimping of the Alamo on this site for years. I guess they came through with the kick back in spades.
This was what all of the noise was about? Ha ha ha ha ha.
The fact that this glorified internet blogger calls himself a fucking journalist is insulting.
big fucking do, glad that windbag is gone from this site.
You guys need to look hard at yourselves before pressing fingertip to keyboard key. Look inward, and then type dull, hateful bullshit. But at the very least, take stock first. Appreciated.
So that's what Faraci's doing! As an admirer of his writing and and Austin resident (and therefore Alamo Drafthouse devotee,) I'm very glad to hear about this.
Yeah … the conflict of interest that he fully embraced for his own benefit is a bit skeevy. But I like the Drafthouse and find Devin amusing, so I'll be reading.
I still can't believe people thought that clown faraci was going to be working with Roger Ebert. Devin made such a big deal that his new gig was so much better than chud. And now? He's just doing the same ol'shtick on another website. Pimping studio/Alamo BS while starfucking and getting free shit at set visits. Just another part of the blogger studio grind. And working with Ebert? Hahahahahaha!
I saw Devin last night on a doco about John Carpenter's original "Halloween" and he looked… tubby? Anywho, the fact that this merry tour couldn't bother to drag a foot somewhere in the middle of the continent makes me think "snobs!" Good day, sirs! I said GOOD DAY!
Badass? Devin? In the same sentence? Is everybody fucking high?
Shouldn't this be Four Lions and a Bear? Good to see that Devin's conflicts of interest will carry through to another site, pimping movies that his new sites promotes and pretending he's an objective "journalist". I can't believe anyone on CHUD supports that bullying, cowardly hypocrite after the dump he took on this site.
I bet Nick is going to be pissed when he sees Renn linked to Devin.
What no Chicago stop? What the hell?
Oh wow what a surprise a Devin bashing..blah blah fuck off
This whole thing is so screwed. I'm very interested in this new world the Alamo Drafthouse guys are moving into, but Devin is such an awful person and such a noxious presence that I can't bring myself to click over to their site. I'm idly curious on what the time lapse will be between the launch of this new venture and when the owners finally acknowledge to themselves that Devin has been poisoning everything they've worked so hard on. Like, have they been saying to themselves "all that stuff that he did to CHUD's readership will never happen to ours, because we're… uh, different in some magical way!"
I hope Tim League asks for a receipt when he sends a check. Devin needs Mac n' Cheese!
Maybe, when talking about Devin, you shouldn't use the word "check."
Fatty Magoo is still crying on twitter that Nick still hadn't sent the check. I bet he still crystal about his dad molesting him.
Those who can't let go of this Devin thing are a bunch of insecure, bitter two-faced tools. None of you (save Nick) really know the full story, so shut the fuck up. Nick wouldn't have allowed this or any of Devin's post-CHUD writings to be posted here if there was THAT much bad blood. You're falling into the Internet Flame War game, and it's so fucking pathetic.
Devin's a kickass writer with a hell of a lot of insight. He offers some great perspectives on various films and has championed some great titles that many of us would not have thought to check out otherwise. Until YOU can claim the same success and talent as him, you just look like a dumbass playing armchair commentator. Blow me.
Nick, likewise, is a great writer with a unique voice and tremendous sense of humor. Much respect to him, too.
There's room on the 'net for both sites, and both men. All of you ignorant bastards who keep flaming EITHER side in this just need to shut the fuck up or get cancer of the dick already. Goddamn, these comment sections are getting as bad as AICN. Thank the Flying Spagetti Monster the forums here still rock.. it's just sad that visitors to the site will see these retarded comments first and think we're as goofy as AICN Talkbackers and IMDB commenters. Shudder.
anjin, your asshole must have a thorough imprint of devin's cock.
Badass? I guess Marc Maron was right. We are in the era of the "Nerd Cock." First there was "Jock Cock", then "Rock Cock", and now it's who's got the biggest "Nerd Cock."
I am owed so much! My opinion is so important! This site is retarded but I'll read it everyday and comment too. Devin's so so stupid, so I'll guess I'll read absolutely everything he writes and then be an asshole if I disagree.
Seriously, some of you guys need Scientology auditing or something.
