Robert McKeown comment-49428 2011-04-21T04:31:10Z 2011-04-21T04:31:10Z For the record, Easter Sunday School at MOBS is "recommended for sinners 18 years of age and older." While everything being shown was material that children had to watch at one time, that doesn't mean that it actually IS appropriate for all ages...

It was kind of a thematic fit with what MOBS would be.

The music was compiled by MOBS, and was pre-1982 Japanese new wave and punk. All songs selected have never been released in the US. The slideshow before the film consisted of titles that have shown at Movies on a Big Screen over the years.

Straight from Sid Garcia-Herberger: "Someone vandalized a sprinkler head in the downstairs ladies room. No fire but lots and lots of water. The system had to be refilled before we could reopen."

That comment doesn't actually defame the business as much as speak to a movement that has the same name. If anything the comment is simply off-topic." Hm. Seemed to me that this was stated: "LRGP are racist socialists who support Al Qaeda over the United States...who they claim stole their lands." - where LRGP = La Raza Galeria Posada - the local art gallery, and in many other ways attempted to indicate that La Raza Galeria Posada was a racist group. And all because of an article that a series of El Santo films were being shown there. Editing comment to add: So I have to wonder how the TOU will be applied if this is not applicable to the "defaming a business" portion of it. Could you further explain the definition of "defaming a business" as far as the TOU goes? Thanks! ---end edit If you do plan on posting banned user's ids, that will quite possibly encourage use of anonymous user ids, rather than encouraging people to use their real names. Just a thought.

Someone *has* to add "don't pee in the mashed potatoes" to the SP terms of use! Robert McKeown 2010-06-25T21:57:55Z Robert McKeown comment-31501 2010-06-25T20:57:42Z 2010-06-25T20:57:42Z I'm truly curious about this - under the new TOS, would comments on the El Santo film series article, found here: http://www.sacramentopress.com/headline/16294/A_week_of_El_Santo_films_at_La_Raza_Galeria_Posada be in violation (ie, defaming a business)? I'd really like to know. Also, will SP be publicly posting each user id which is banned as was done here? "a 'don't pee in the mashed potatoes' rule" is the best part of all of these comments! Robert McKeown 2010-06-25T20:57:42Z Robert McKeown comment-16784 2009-10-30T03:46:26Z 2009-10-30T03:46:26Z El Santo movies are fun! I'm glad a batch of them are being shown here in Sacramento! Robert McKeown 2009-10-30T03:46:26Z Robert McKeown comment-15048 2009-10-07T05:08:51Z 2009-10-07T05:08:51Z And just for the record, Movies on a Big Screen is helping out with this as well! We'll be there running the movies and stuff. OK - pretty much, running the movies - so if things go awry, you know who to blame. So you probably oughtta go! PS: I and my wife run Movies on a Big Screen, Sacramento’s weekly screening series of documentaries, general independent film, classics and cult titles. The above is blatant self-promotion of MOBS, while still intending to be a strong endorsement of this day of screenings!

Overdrawn was shown as part of the Movies on a Big Screen series, and the website is at http://www.moviesonabigscreen.com One of the spots we screen at is The Guild. And yeah - I'm affiliated with MOBS... Robert McKeown 2009-09-22T04:09:48Z Robert McKeown comment-11627 2009-08-06T20:32:23Z 2009-08-06T20:32:23Z Nope. We're there on Fridays for only more week (after this weekend), but will still be there on Sundays. In fact... the Found Footage Festival will be coming back and will be at The Guild on Sunday, Oct 4 (more on that later though). We currently have no space for Fridays, though (after next week). If anyone has ideas, let us know! Robert McKeown 2009-08-06T20:32:23Z Robert McKeown comment-10517 2009-07-10T07:55:22Z 2009-07-10T07:55:22Z And to add further clarification - you can also purchase tickets at the door ($7) just for the screenings of "Fresh" at The Guild, which shows at 2:30 and 4:00 PM. Robert McKeown 2009-07-10T07:55:22Z Robert McKeown comment-10493 2009-07-09T19:26:48Z 2009-07-09T19:26:48Z A couple of clarifications. On Friday, Rock That Uke plays at 7 PM, Ukulele Loki's Gadabout Orchestra is at 8 PM and Rock That Uke shows again at 9:30 PM. So you can see the movie, then the band, or come to see the band and stay for the movie! Also, Ukulele Loki's Gadabout Orchestra will be on Insight on Friday between 10 and 11 AM.

Funny how suddenly losing a venue (effective end of May) will derail ya sometimes. But more about that soon...

Although REALLY occasionally they're a bit more (like May 1), but those are rare cases. See http://www.shiny-object.com/screenings/ Mona - if you're still checking in, see: http://www.nokilli.com/food/peep.html Robert McKeown 2009-04-17T06:22:17Z Robert McKeown comment-5399 2009-04-01T18:14:04Z 2009-04-01T18:14:04Z Argh. Thanks for the update!! Robert McKeown 2009-04-01T18:14:04Z Robert McKeown comment-5060 2009-03-25T02:48:50Z 2009-03-25T02:48:50Z Colleen: It does. It really does. Also, for everyone's info - I won't be blatantly plugging our screenings each and every week - only when it is of higher interest than normal or somehow Sacto-related. For instance, there's only one in April I'll be plugging here (I think) - although I might sneak them into my weekly "event picks" from time to time, although I'll try - but probably fail - to not do that. And in May... yeah - a really good one coming up with folks tied to The Colbert Report, Letterman and The Onion who will be here in Sac. Yep - I'll be plugging that one, too. But I won't do it *every* week. If you're (the reader) interested, just find our website, myspace, facebook, listings on yelp and a bunch of other spots, or check SNR's FilmTimes each week to see what we're showing. Or a bunch of other spots. Alrighty - I think that was heavy-handed enough - heh. And if someone can cut that bit from the disclaimer - it would be really cool. Don't want google (or any other search engine) bringing this up tied to SOCA. And I'm still hitting myself in the head for missing that.

I copy/pasted the disclaimer from the plug from last week (which they were involved with) and was in a rush, and - argh! Can someone cut that bit from the disclaimer? Thanks!
