Weekend Face Off
Thursday
Thursday
Kansas w/ The Lincoln Symphony Orchestra
Pershing Center
8pm
vs.
Man's Last Great Invention, Thunder Power!, & I, Colossus
Box Awesome
9pm
Verdict: Kansas's promotional photo is tempting and according to my calculations they feature ∞% more eye patch than the Box Awesome bands. In addition, there are untold number of eye patches in the orchestra. Plus, who knows how great "Point of Know Return" would sound with an orchestra. According to my calculations it would be ∞% greater.
Ultimately, the Box Awesome show wins. What it lacks in eye patches, it more than makes up for with heart and grit.
Friday
Cloverfield
a theater near you
9pm or so
vs.
Eagle*Seagull, Coyote Bones, Baby Walrus, & Fourth of July
Box Awesome
9pm
Verdict: I have no idea what Cloverfield is about despite having seen approximately 100 promos for it while streaming episodes of 30 Rock last night. Apparently there's a monster? His name is possibly Cloverfield? A little bit of Internet research leads me to believe this monster is bigger than most other movie monsters. Also, someone in the trailer keeps saying People are going to want to know what happened. Um, kid, I think when the rest of the country goes to visit Manhattan and we see a lot of giant monster prints and torsos we'll probably figure most of it out.
You know what else is bigger than most other monsters? Eagle*Seagull. Box Awesome wins again.
Saturday
Claire Becker, Lily Brown, & Steve Langan at the Clean Part Reading SeriesSheldon Memorial Art Gallery
7pm
vs.
Lifetime Movie Network
7pm
Verdict: St. Elmo's Fire does have a lot going for itself: beautiful actors and actresses, some really talented people, and Emilio Estevez.
But look at how the The Clean Part dominates. Fantastic poetry? Check. Pie giveaways? Check. Ally Sheedy? No. Commercial-free? Check.
Three out of four isn't bad. The winner is...attending The Clean Part while renting St. Elmo's Fire on the way home if you've loaned out your DVD copy.

I just hearing and reading all of these vague positive reviews for the Cloverfield movie, and I too have no idea what it's about. I assumed that the English countryside would be featured or it was a biopic of a Virginia tobacco deacon, given the title.
So you're telling me it's about a monster in New York named Cloverfield? That's a pretty non-threatening name if that's the case. Godzilla, King Kong, Frankenstein, and now...Cloverfield.
Yeah, that's what I thought too.
After further research I've been lead to believe that Cloverfield is in fact not the name of the monster. In fact, the word apparently never gets mentioned in the movie.
I guess they got the title because it's the street the production office was on (or something like that) and never thought of anything else to call it. Because, you know, that's why that move 101 Peter Hardeman Burnett Way was such a huge hit until they ruined it by calling the sequel The Empire Strikes Back.
