Happiness Is a Summer Festival

So the Summer Festival next year at The Brick - June 5 to 28, 2009 - will be . . .

The Antidepressant Festival

The home page is HERE - with little info on it as yet, of course, but the Festival announcement video is up there, and worth seeing if you haven't.

The application page, with the guidelines for what we're looking for in shows for the Fest, can be found HERE.

Remember, Sunshine Equals Puppies.

An Alphabet of Favorites

There's a couple of movie memes going around that no one's tagged me on, but have got me thinking enough to have to do them anyway and post.

So, a couple months ago a meme started where you name your favorite movie for every letter of the alphabet. It's hard with some letters, because you either have to search hard and include also-rans in some places, and pick between five or six for others, but I came up with a pretty good 26 that I can get behind:

A: The Age of Innocence
B: Bad Timing
C: Citizen Kane
D: Duck Amuck
E: Eraserhead
F: The Falls
G: Glen or Glenda?
H: How I Won the War
I: INLAND EMPIRE
J: Jackie Brown
K: Kiss Me Deadly
L: The Last Picture Show
M: Magical Maestro
N: Nothing Lasts Forever
O: Once Upon a Time in the West
P: Point Blank
Q: Quatermass and the Pit
R: The Rules of the Game
S: The Seventh Victim
T: Two or Three Things I Know About Her
U: Urgh! A Music War
V: Videodrome
W: Wavelength
X: X: The Unheard Music
Y: Yojimbo
Z: A Zed & Two Noughts

Maybe I'll do the "Twenty Favorite Movie Actresses" one next . . .
