and it was only forty cents for a double feature on Sundays...

This is a cool little site for info on old movie theaters. I have been glued to it all morning, getting nostalgic about the dirtiest, cheapest places for a kid to spend an afternoon in the winter. Jpeg, consider this a Kwanzaa gift for you.

Dirty Dozen on Ice and More

While doing a search for that Dirty Dozen on Ice commercial from a few years ago, I came across this page full of clips. Mostly commercials, some you've probably seen, but there's also a couple of good short films: The Fat Kid and The Reel Truth. If you start with the first one, it will play through all of them one after another.

Simpsons in Pulp Fiction

Not exactly timely, but these official Simpsons sketches are still good for a laugh.

Musicians perform both improvised and scored accompaniment to tradtitional and modern approaches of filmmaking and projection. Our first show is July 27 @ the Hideout.

~Jeff Parker (Chicago Underground Quartet, Tortoise) performs his score to a film Tatsu Aoki.

~Fred Lomberg-Holm (Peter Brotzmann Tentet, Lofty Pillars, Terminal 4) Performs his score to "Mysterious Island of Dancing women" by John McGeehan.

Festivities start at 9:30. I think I'm also going to catch the My Reality:Contemporary Art and the Culture of Japanese Animation exhibit at the Chicago Cultural Center on Sunday. I hear they have a art-o-mat machine there now. Don't go 'round artless!
