RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!
-A Vampire Movie Worth Looking Forward To?
-A Japanese Landmark Goes On A Rampage?!
-Media Blasters Set to Destroy The World With MEN IN SUITS! MEN IN SUITS!!
All that and an Akira Kurosawa Remake nobody asked for, in this week’s Friday ACE!
SHOW NOTES:
Mike here. I kind of want to move to Hawaii right about now.
It’s not to escape pop culture (though mind you, feel free to take advantage of that sale of Helen McCarthy’s The Art of Osamu Tezuka, it’s to flock towards it. They seem to be getting a crazy amount of exclusives over there, including concerts and random awesome film premieres. Its one thing to be stuck in one of the Uncool States while our neighbors get the really glitzy limited theater runs, but Hawaii’s caliber of stuff just makes my Inner Fan wallow in agony! So that does it, I’m moving to Hawaii! No wait, of course I’m not. Because I’m going to college. Ah-ha-ha. Le sigh.
Anyway, until the next, keep spreading the word about the show, drop me a line ([email protected]), and I’ll see you next ACE!
