“It’s a good thing you drifted by this brothel.” – Chief Wiggum
Back in 2012, one of this coolest things this blog ever did was score free tickets for commenter Hank Pumpkins to see Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play in Washington DC. You can read his review here.
Well, it turns out the play (by Anne Washburn) is getting made into a movie (by Boots Riley). I found this out clicking on Boots’s IMDb just now before going to see I Love Boosters this later this afternoon. No cast or timeline according to this, but I never saw the play so this announcement is music to my ears.
You can probably guess what the first of my promised movie posts is going to be about. For those who remember my failed Ann Arbor Review of Books site, I’m bringing my favorite thing from there over to here: Box Score Cinema. Basically, it’s a one page movie review that’s hopefully as fun to read as it is to write. Don’t know if that’ll be tonight or tomorrow, I’m trying to set things up to make these easy to post in way they certainly weren’t during AARB days.
And for all my bitching about WordPress, this (I assume) rewritten classic editor plugin is so much faster than the old one. There is still a nice blog architecture underneath all the Squarespace bloat.
