Courtney’s Movie Reviews: Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

(1962)

Directed by John Ford

No matter how much high school stage performance is going on here, I could watch Lee Marvin, John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart for another six to eight hours easy.

Couple of Books

From what I’ve read so far, there’s nothing here quite as clever or alluring as the title.

The Geeks Guide to World Domination

A lot of trivium of varying kinds. Can’t even remember one.

This, on the other hand, is very clever and insightful, but with a not as clever as it wants to be title.

Wishful Drinking

It’s a rant that is half anecdotes from growing up to become a pez dispenser and half bits of wisdom for dealing with what she thinks are her unique problems. They’re actually very normal problem but often with famous names attached to the anecdotes. Quick read. Great for travel.

Show Added: June 4, MPP Party @ The Playboy Mansion

Hey, this is pretty cool: we’re going to be playing at the fourth annual Marijuana Policy Project party at the Playboy Mansion on June 4th.

Go ahead and read that sentence again.

This is an annual deal with these cats who do so much to help change the ridiculous policies our government has regarding marijuana, and we’re totally stoked to have been asked to take part in this year’s shindig. This year’s party is hosted by actress Fairuza Balk, and will also feature DJs from Honeypot, and our friend David J from Bauhaus/Love and Rockets. Also, there will probably be girls there, because, you know, it’s the Playboy Mansion.

Now tickets for this party are pretty spendy, but if you’ve got the dough, they are available [HERE] . If you can’t make it to the Mansion, join us the following night in Pomona at The Glass House for an old-fashioned all-ages Dandy Warhol whoop-ti-doo. Tickets are still available for Pomona [HERE] .

Hope to see you there.

DATE	VENUE	CITY	TICKETS
June 4, 2009	MPP Party @ The Playboy Mansion	Los Angeles, CA	YES
June 5, 2009	The Glass House	Pomona, CA	YES

Apples to Apples

Well I have now played Apples to Apples, and it actually is really great. And this comes from a bona fide 1950′s tape-on-the-corners, boxed wood tiles, beveled edge, Scrabble-Man, four-way with a Lazy Susan. This game and rent-a-movie will get an entire night to happen for several people. (If you get the movie right.)
