Sometimes you can’t win….

So I went to see Shirobako the Movie on Tuesday. While in the theater I heard it raining pretty hard for a short while. It had stopped by the movie got out, so I didn't think anything of it. When I got home, though, the power was out. And it stayed out for much…

Monster of the Day #3240

  OK, let's try the giant cat thing again. I don't *think* this is a repeat. Is it? I don't know anymore. Anyway, yeah, that would suck.

Lots of Fathom Events this month….

With the studios doing all they can to hasten the deaths of theaters (they'll be sorry later), we are at least just starting to see more non-traditional programming step up. Fathom Events is offering a lot of stuff this month, all appearing for a day or two at local theaters. Check out their website…

Monster of the Day #3235

My first thought was "what a goofy cover," but my second thought on reflection was "Yikes!!"  Also, nobody likes to have their Safety Dance interrupted. The Olympics add new events all the time (hence the adorable 13 year old who won a Gold Medal in Skateboarding). Some of the proposed ones for Olympics 2438…
