Tonight through Sunday, May 16: South Korean films are known for being ridiculously violent, but South Koreans have feelings too and are capable of making comedies, dramas and even love stories. You can see how versatile South Korean films are by going to the Freer Gallery’s Korean Film Fest DC. [Freer Gallery]
Saturday, April 3: Well, if you haven’t already seen the Cherry Blossoms, turns out that they peaked on Wednesday. Oh well, so sad. But now you have no reason not to spend Saturday indoors at the Freer Gallery with Japan’s greatest gift to the world: anime. The Eighth Annual National Cherry Blossom Festival Anime Marathon [...]
Tuesday, March 30: It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that the Heritage Foundation has created a lecture series in honor of the terrible bigot Jesse Helms, and it really shouldn’t come as surprise to anyone that the inaugural lecture is all about how Obama is … ruining America.
Saturday, March 27: We enter the dark and scary time that is Cherry Blossom season with the annual Kite Festival on the Mall this Saturday from 10AM – 4PM. Go brush up your kite-flying skills and see if you can reenact the opening scene from The Kite Runner. You don’t need to find a small [...]
Wednesday, March 24: What’s so wrong with treating interns like sweatshop workers? Their nimble, small fingers are made for hours of unpaid stapling and filing. The Economic Policy Institute is upset that only wealthy kids are given this glorious opportunity and are hosting event in order to make sure that all God’s children can have [...]
Tonight, Friday, March 19: If God is dead and Obama is sticking around this weekend to make sure of it, there’s really never been a better time to indulge in hedonistic activities: Go out, get extremely drunk, curse the heavens and dance all night long to the DJ duo Make The Girl Dance as part [...]
Tuesday, March 16: Our President and savior Barack Obama may actually be an incarnation of the long dead and often celebrated Jesus of Christian mythology, but the Brookings Institution is nonetheless convinced that religion was left out of the 2008 election. They ask if God will make a comeback in the 2010 elections and, if [...]
Tonight, Friday, March 12 through Monday, April 19: Improv is great. Fighting is great. And when you combine the two in a Fighting Improv Smack Down where 44 teams duke it out for improv glory, the product, well, is a great, hilarious evening of (violence-free) comedy. [Source Theater]
Wednesday, March 10: Yes, someone watched you as you walked to work today. In fact, someone watches you every day, everywhere you go, because this is America, where 9/11 happened, so we’ll never forget what you’re wearing, where you’re going and who you’re talking to. This, as the Cato Institute explains, is the mentality consuming [...]
Friday, March 5 through Sunday, March 14: “The Face” is a play about angry, vulgar people who do and say very bad things to each other, for fun. It will make you wonder where all the happiness has gone, but it will also make you laugh, hysterically, like no one is watching. Tickets are $30. [...]
Very important teevee alert: The Oscars are on this weekend. Hooray! It’s Hollywood’s yearly opportunity to decide which theme — the gays, poor black illiterate children, torture, Jews kicking ass, or homeless kids saved by nice white ladies – needs their undivided attention and will provide an acceptance speech that will make conservatives squirm/feel unappreciated/take [...]
Tuesday, March 2: Who loves war? Why the Heritage Foundation, that’s who! And according to them, declaring war can be simple and fun: If a country thinks evil things about the US, why, they’ve declared war, and we must immediately fight them to the death (and maybe somewhere in there figure out how to win, [...]
Oscars: As captivating as the health care summit was, booze, crime, sex and the mafia all make for much better entertainment. This is why you should head to the National Geographic this weekend to see the Best Foreign Film Academy Award nominees, to E Street Cinema to see the 2010 Academy Award-Nominated Live-Action Shorts, and [...]
Tuesday, February 23: That Obama, he’s not trying to protect America from terrorism, why would he do that? Democrats don’t believe in safety, nor do they worship torture rock-star John Yoo, and this is very problematic. They want everyone to die a horrible death from a terrorist attack, because this is how Socialism works. Such [...]
Saturday, February 20: Remember that time when Obama was just so special and was gonna flex his Change-muscle and fix America? Get back to that time — when he was better than Jeebus, Sarah Palin was taking walks to Russia, and we had several shreds of faith in government — by seeing the film Marching [...]
