Zappa, Nudists, and The King

This week's News from Slackerwood at Cinematical is now live. I'm still deciding whether to go to the Preston Sturges double-feature at The Paramount -- Hail the Conquering Hero isn't on DVD yet in this country, so I at least should see that one. Besides, I haven't yet been to a summer movie at the Paramount this year. The Sturges double-feature isn't one of their usual tried-and-true crowd pleasers, so I feel like maybe I should support the films if I want to see more programming along those lines.

I neglected to mention some of the free movies showing during the day this week as part of "kids club" series at various theaters: Lakeline is showing March of the Penguins (which doesn't strike me as a children's movie, at all) Tuesday-Thursday at 10 am; Westgate is showing Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit, also Tuesday-Thursday at 10 am.
