See you this Saturday in Barus Holley 190 at 7PM, where we'll show off some of the new library acquisitions and discuss what to show this semester. #x7121 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:41:04 EST http://dampfkraft.com/bas/index.cgi?c=_marathon This weekend we'll be having our end-of-semester marathon. Since it appears people are busy with exams, this will be much shorter than usual - we'll only be showing two movies, though they're classics well worth seeing again or for the first time. Nausicaa is perhaps Miyazaki's most epic film; its premise is environmental at its core, and thus the fate of the world hangs in the balance as ambition puts the future of humanity at risk, ancient weapons are awakened, and a few brave souls struggle to maintain balance in a dying world. Highly recommended. One of Miyazaki's earliest efforts, The Castle of Cagliostro is the best-known Lupin III movie for good reason. Playboy thief Lupin is on the trail of superlative counterfeiters in a tiny country when he finds a damsel in distress and things play out from there. We'll be showing the high-definition version of this film. I'll start Nausicaa at 9:30 with sushi from Haruki Express; it runs two hours, after which The Castle of Cagliostro runs one hour and forty minutes. This is our last screening of the semester; even if you're drenched with finals, take a break, have some sushi, and enjoy yourself! See you in Barus Holley 190 this Saturday. #x7121; Fri, 11 Dec 2009 15:42:04 EST http://dampfkraft.com/bas/index.cgi?c=_diebuster Diebuster this Saturday, usual time and place. Technically related to Gunbuster, but more recent - it's halfway between FLCL and Gurren Lagann, and not just chronologically. See you there! Marathon is a week from Saturday. #x7121; Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:20:15 EST http://dampfkraft.com/bas/index.cgi?c=_thanksgiving The last post had one mistake - we will not be showing Diebuster this coming weekend, as it is Thanksgiving, and there will be no showing. Enjoy some turkey! #x7121; Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:37:13 EST http://dampfkraft.com/bas/index.cgi?c=_gunbuster While neither Bakemonogatari nor Eden of the East could fairly be said to have concluded, there's no more of them for us to show; for this weekend's screening we'll be showing classic Gainax mecha anime Gunbuster, followed next week by Diebuster. Each of these is about three hours in total, so longer than our usual showing; we'll have slightly longer intermissions with episodes of Hetalia (each less than four minutes). See you in BH 190 at 7PM! #x7121; Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:33:53 EST
