Squandering a billion dollars is easier than you think. The federal government spends more than that each month trying to keep people from using certain plant products to feel good. It’s just 0.02 of a percent of the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan so far. Mark Cuban could bet it all on a single hand of blackjack, bust and still be a billionaire. But when Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim borrow that much to make an awesome movie and don’t do such a great job, their investor is furious, so they try to revive a failing mall to recoup it. We won’t spoil the surprise by telling you if they succeed or rename it Southwest Center Mall, so catch one of the last two screenings of Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie at 7 or 9:15 p.m. Thursday at the Texas Theatre, 231 W. Jefferson Blvd. Tickets are $9 and available at the box office, by calling 214-948-1546 or at texastheatre.com.
