Get your Mother something dammit!

"Mark your calendars, grab your popcorn and get ready to join us for four fantastic Festival-filled days, presented as unique experiences on TCM and HBO Max. This year's Festival will feature more than 100 films, brand new conversations with over 30 special guests, rarely seen gems from the TCM archives and special presentations."

One of our favorite film festivals had to go online and on cable this year, but there's still some amazing content for the movie buff. So many great classics to watch. Grab some popcorn and check out the full schedules above. Sigh, we hope one day there can be another Smell-O-Vision showing.


Highlight-
DOCTOR X 
Thursday, May 6 , 1:30 AM ET
TCM Channel

TCM premiere of recently restored version. The new two-color Technicolor master was restored by UCLA Film and Television Archive and The Film Foundation in association with Warner Bros. Entertainment.

New York City reporter Lee Taylor (Lee Tracy) is doing a piece on a series of grisly, cannibalistic murders that have all been committed under a full moon. Police soon begin to suspect that the murderer works at the lab of Dr. Jerry Xavier (Lionel Atwill), a mysterious Long Island researcher who is doing an investigation of his own. Antsy for an inside story, Taylor breaks into the lab, where he meets and falls in love with Dr. Xavier's daughter Joan (Fay Wray).

Game Haus Opens Back Up This Weekend
 
 
Monday, May 10, 2021 6:00 PM
Free online, Must RSVP
 
During a university’s pledge week, the carefree partying turns deadly serious when a star athlete is found impaled in his dorm. The murder ignites a spree of sinister social-media messages, sweeping the students and police into a race against time to uncover the truth behind the school’s dark secrets…and the horrifying meaning of a recurring symbol: a single exclamation mark.

Followed by a Q&A with John Berardo (Co-Writer, Director, Producer, SCA Alum), Brian Frager (Co-Writer, Producer, SCA Alum), Lindsay LaVanchy (Co-Writer, Actor), Jonathan Pope (Director of Photography, SCA Alum) and Kristina Lyons (Editor, SCA Alumna).



As LA isn't exactly still normal, we're suggest visiting Palm Springs nearby for the weekend or when you have some free time. We've been covering Desert X, the outdoor art exhibits that are only up until May, for a while now. We're showing a few more off. It's fun to get away from it all and find these different art exhibits scattered around Coachella.
 
Don't forget how the official Desert X shirt leads you to the Pacific Ocean.

Rick and Morty in the Eternal Nightmare Machine Is From Paul Robertson

Simply stunning animation of Rick and Morty as an old-school video game from pixel artist extraordinaire Paul Robertson. Long time fans of the site know how much we love this artist's work and it's great to see him make something so epic. You'll wish the game was real. And, if you just look it frame by frame, it's insane how much work was put into this, not to mention how many references from the show you could spot.

Rick and Morty come back this June.

Game Hype: E3 Online, My Famicase 2021, You've Got Game Show, Let's Look At Bunch of Trailers & More


E3's Online Game Event Set for June 12-15 With Nintendo, Microsoft, More Companies
E3 isn't happening in LA this year, but it will happen online.







My Famicase 2021 is now online, we'll probably post our favs later, but check them out online now. This is a video game cartridge art show from Japan with made up game titles.

iam8bit created a game show for the GDC, now Xbox has it and boy does it not look as fun. Still, entertaining though and probably the only game show on video games. Still, not sure why cryptocurrency is needed for charity...anyway give it a watch.

Hype: Laminate Your Vaccine Card, Bedrock Why?, Blue Sodas & More

 

Staples will laminate your vaccine card until the end of the month for free. Office Max/Depot will do it for free until July 25th as long as you present this coupon. Remember to do it after getting both shots.
 
 
 Who wanted this?

 

Well, if it's just voice acting it might be good, but other projects Banks does on her own like the Charlie's Angels reboot, don't seem to go so well.
