Video: Bobcat Goldthwait Tells Audience Turn Off Their Mother@#$ing Cellphones!
We have all been there -- in movie theater -- totally engrossed in a film when some schmuck pulls out his/her cellphone and that tiny rectangular object's bluish illumination dominates your focus and your eyes automatically darts over to this new light source and you miss a key plot point or a cool line of dialogue. No matter how many countless warnings Midnight Madness programmer Colin Geddes has issued from the stage, no matter how many cute little bumpers prior to a film starting to turn off cellphones the inevitable ALWAYS happens and some douche pulls out their cellphone. With social graces in public spaces getting totally out of hand, Colin enlisted a Midnight Madness alumni director Bobcat Goldthwait to give a little demonstration on how to turn off a phone.

This Is Not Your Classical Bunraku
Attention fans of high culture and refined entertainments--tonight's screening of Bunraku is not a presentation of Japan's refined traditional puppet theatre.
A theatre that has given the world many fine stories presented on film such as The 47 Ronin (Genroku Chushingura)
and Double Suicide (Shinju: Ten no Amijima)

as well as influenced Jim Henson.

No, tonight, there will be no puppet-y asskicking, though that is wonderful to behold. What this Bunraku will give us is people--Gackt and Josh Hartnett--beating the hell out of each other in a lovely environment.

But, seriously, how awesome is this...
Bunraku screening times:
Saturday, Sept. 11. 11:59pm Ryerson
Tuesday, Sept. 14. 10:15pm Scotiabank Theatre 2
Friday, Sept. 17. 5:00pm Scotiabank Theatre 2
