Pre-weekend Weekend Lunch Invite 80. Helen's Agree, Letting Off A Little Steam Once In A While Can Be A Good Thing
Remember that Moxy Früvous is playing at
Milestones
(170 East Ave.)
on August 30 and 31 for all ages shows, then on September 1 for
an 18-and-over show. Tickets are $17.50 and according to
Chris Andrews at
WBER
there are 400 tickets available for each show.
Someone ... well, let's just say a Little Fairy ...
has been asking about the DVD sale at
Rowe Photographic
(1737 Mt. Hope Ave.)
Well I asked again and it looks like it'll be at least the first Saturday
in August if not later becuse there's still some discs on permanent rental.
Oh, and my technology destruction rampage continues. Well, actually I'm just the
epicenter of a Luddite rampage. So far here's the tally:
- my camera memory card stopped working in the camera
- Adam got in an accident with his truck and blew out a tire, only to have the spare blow an hour later
- the fuse in the car alarm started having connection problems
- my modem died, apparently also taking out the serial port
- Kodak Elmgrove had a freak power outage for several hours
- a commercial truck blew out its differential five cars in front of me
- Sondra's cell phone ... umm ... stopped working
- I can't get the web page to upload because the servers are down

- Driver's Wanted -
The movie that helped WBER
get its new transmitter returns to
The Little
(240 East Ave.)
tonight. It's a comedic fake documentary/narrative about pizza delivery
and is pretty good despite being a little rough around the edges.
- The In Crowd -
Ah, the usual story. Girl meets boy. Girl likes boy. Girl
joins clique of wealthy college students to get to boy. Clique
reveals dark secrets. You know the rest.
- Loser -
A
college student (Jason Biggs), branded a loser by his
roommates and booted from the dorm for getting caught having
sex with a pie, falls in love with a young woman (Mena Suvari)
who has eyes for their professor (Greg Kinnear).
Just the typical story, except it was written and directed by
Amy Heckerling, who directed
Fast Times at Ridgemont High,
Johnny Dangerously,
European Vacation,
and wrote and directed
Clueless
- Pokemon 2000
(a.k.a.
Poketto monsutaa: Maboroshi no Pokemon X: Lugia bakudan
or
Pocket Monsters X: The Explosive Birth of Lugia) -
Some 120,000 flashes of light delight the senses.
- What Lies Beneath -
The wife of a college genetics professor in Vermont
starts seeing ghostly visions of a possibly dead woman who might or might not have
had an affair with her husband, and now she's possessing her body.
Sort of
All of Me (1984)

Dinner as always at
California Rollin'
at
Village Gate Square
(274 N. Goodman St.)
Milestones
(170 East Ave.)
is having their One Chord Elite Night
with
Astronomical Unit,
The Blackouts,
Average Otis,
and/or
Burning Snella.
Apparently there's some disagreement there. I'm pretty sure Astronomical Unit and
The Blackouts will be there, but WBER seems to think Burning Snella will be there and
Freetime says it's Average Otis.
But prior to those, see
Bringing Up Baby
at the
Dryden Theater
at
George Eastman House
(900 East Ave.)
I have to agree with the Peter Bogdanovich mini-review in the Eastman
House movie list -- this is one of the funniest movies I've seen, and
with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn to boot, you just can't miss.
Meanwhile at
Shorts
(35 N. Main St., Fairport)
is Anita's friend's band
Ten Typing Monkeys.
Karaoke with Sugar Bear at
Boston Brew Company
(251 Exchange Blvd.)

Tonight at the even-more-dreaded
Penny Arcade
(4785 Lake Ave.)
is
Falling 12 Stories,
White Cotton Panties,
and
Velocity Mirror.
Instead of re-runs tonight, see
Heavy Metal
at the
Dryden Theater
at
George Eastman House
(900 East Ave.)
It's a six-segment animated movie featuring the music of
Devo, Black Sabbath, Cheap Trick, Stevie Nicks, and
Donald Fagan.
