can we keep this... between us? I'd hate to lose my teaching job...

this week actually starts the long term Boy&Horse movie festival, and with the help of the alamo drafthouse and tinseltown I’m going to see about two dozen movies over the next couple of month, most of which I couldn’t watch in the theaters on their first run. either by age or just out of rarity I’ve missed a lot of movies in their native element.

the first such movie, which I saw last night, was Weird Science. here’s a movie, part of the shermer legacy, that I had never seen in wide screen, I’d not even held a copy of the dvd and the only vhs version was a bootleg taped off hbo more than a decade ago. so as beginnings go this was a good one. not that I really need to, but I will have a review of Weird Science posted by monday on my movie site. and this time, I mean it…

the rest, so far, are as follows:

School of the Holy Beast, midnight on 04/16/2005
Best of Bollywood: Don, 6pm on 04/16/2005
Secret of NIMH, 7pm on 04/18/2005

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, midnight 04/23/2005
The Films of Kim Jung Il: Pulgasari, 7pm on 04/25/2005
Cloak and Dagger, noon on 04/30/2005
The Forbidden Zone, quarter to ten on 04/30/2005
Princess Bride, 7pm on 05/08/2005

Steamboy, quarter to ten on 05/10/2005

Metropolis with live music, 7pm on 05/27/2005
For Your Height Only, quarter to ten on 05/29/2005

some crazy, some essential, and some just for the hell of it

tell me. and remember, this is for posterity, so... be honest. how do you feel?

so when I was scoping out the drafthouse site checking show prices I stumbled on a little link to an online quiz.
