Tonight through Saturday, August, 1: If you’ve ever wanted to pretend you were Christopher Walken, or contemplate good versus evil using only pantomime, or if you just like watching people attempt to be funny on the spot (and then laugh at them when they don’t succeed), go to the Improvapalooza at the Source theater this weekend — 85 shows and 16 hours of comedic genius (hopefully) for just $10 a day.

It’s here! Well, OMFG the second installment of Screen on the Green is coming up on Monday, July 27. The first one may have almost been rained out, but we CAN’T WAIT to see the next film, Dog Day Afternoon, on Monday. What’s it about? Is it any good? Who cares! [This is a very well-known Oscar-winning movie, ARIELLE. -- Ed.] This is about our RIGHT to watch old movies on the Mall that we would otherwise never ever even think about watching.

It Is Back: Screen on the Green is back! DCers were devastated when it was canceled.  There were riots in the streets, people were twittering like mad, there may have been hearings on Capitol Hill, and who knows what other displays of unnecessary emotion all due to the demise of an outdoor film festival, even though the entire economy IS ON THE BRINK OF COLLAPSE.  But all the bitching, complaining, and crying paid off, because IT’S BACK!

Done: Screen on the Green: Two wars, the housing bubble, pig AIDS, and waterboarding all seem to pale in comparison to DCers’ outrage over the end of Screen on the Green. There’s no other way to interpret this except that God hates all of us. MORE »
