When
four young orphans—Hikari, Ikuko, Ishi, and Takemura—first meet, their
parents’ bodies are being turned into dust, like fine Parmesan atop a
plate of spaghetti Bolognese, and yet none of them can shed a tear. They
are like zombies; devoid of all emotion. With no family, no future, no
dreams, and no way to move forward, the young teens decide that the
first level of this new existence involves salvaging a gaming console,
an old electric bass, and a charred wok from their former homes—just
enough to start a band…and then conquer the world. Tragedy, comedy,
music, social criticism, and teenage angst are all subsumed in this
eccentric cinematic tsunami.
Virtual Lecture Series: The Who’s Who of Japanese Deities
July 30 @ 7:00 pm -
7:30 pm
Did you know that the famous Laughing Buddha is actually not a buddha
at all or that the meditative buddha is only one type among a
multitude? Did you know that the Buddhist heavens are under constant
threat by hordes of demons and must therefore be defended by celestial
protectors?
This virtual lecture series will serve as an
introduction not only to the categories of Buddhist deity, but to the
iconography which will allow laypeople to identify specific figures. We
will consider the sacred hand gestures, the weapons and implements, even
the clothing, so that audience members can recognize some of the
deities portrayed in or around a Japanese temple.

MONTY PYTHON & THE HOLY GRAIL Netflix Watch Party

MONTY PYTHON & THE LIFE OF BRIAN Netflix Watch Party
Sat, August 1, 2020, 10:00 PM
This week, we're doing a double feature of two Monty Python feature
film classics: MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL and MONTY PYTHON AND THE
LIFE OF BRIAN.
First up is 1975's HOLY GRAIL, the first and in the
opinions of many the best of the Monty Python features (although all
three features are pretty great). The British sensation television
comedy sketch troupe had been on hiatus for a few years before joining
together to do this feature film riff on King Arthur, the Knights of the
Round Table, and sacred British mythology.
Essentially a satire on certain aspects of Christianity, BRIAN tells the
story of a lowly commoner named Brian born roughly at the same time as
Jesus. Their lives parallel each other in strange ways including
Brian's unwanted elevation to a kind of prophet among the people.
