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 for further details. I skipped stuff like their opera offerings.

Tuesday Aug 10th Shiro Bako The Movie (Anime film)

Wed the 11th The Great Muppet Caper

Sun Aug 15th and Wed the 18th Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Tues Aug 17th Rifftrax Live: Hobgoblins

Thurs Aug 19th & Sun the 22nd Star Trek IV The Voyage Home

Tues Aug 24th Coraline

Sunday Aug 29th Stripes (also Tuesday Sep 2nd)

Sun Aug 29th Lupin III: The First (Anime film; English dub)

Tues Aug 31st Lupin III: The First (Subtitled Japanese version)

  • My biggest issue is that the shows are almost always on pre-work nights. I’ve got Hobgoblins tickets, and might even go, but considering my hours, it’s a bitch on my sleep time.
