<br>Greetings, friends!<br><br>Have you read all the local movie news fit to post?<br><br><a href="http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=2214">http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=2214</a><br><br>In this edition of C-U Blogfidential’s all-purpose column, “C-U Biz-en-scène,” we bitch about unkempt work spaces, we moan about neighbor apathy towards local film, and we tell you what movies are now renting/playing near you!<br>
<br><a href="http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=2205">http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=2205</a><br><br>Nearly 50 years after H.G. Lewis first proved it, success comes to those indie horror flicks that know how to “bleed in Peoria” when the third annual Drunken Zombie Film Festival tosses cookies on the carpets of The Peoria Theater on Friday, November 5, and Saturday, November 6, 2010.<br>
<br><a href="http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=2195">http://www.micro-film-magazine.com/cublog/?p=2195</a><br><br>From the “Images of the Week” Dept.: Get a load of our favorite LEADING LADIES by watching the trailer! Also, take a look behind the scenes of the Rialto Theater sequence via never-before-seen photos, which arguably are still kind of hard to see…<br>
<br>~~~~~<br><br>We'd still like to solicit your feedback on the CUBiz column. Do you like them? Are they informative and interesting? If you aren't reading CUBiz, then maybe now is the time to take a look and see what you're missing! For instance, mmmmm, that whole "apathy towards local film" part, which in this excerpt has to do with attending local screenings:<br>
<br>"After the late show presentation of local comedy REVOLTING at the Art Theater two weeks ago, your humble editor hung out with several principals involved with making the movie. One cast member divulged that a friend had promised to attend but bailed for unknown reasons, other than remarking that she could 'see it later on DVD.' It’s convenient and lazy thinking, more than likely based on the notion that a movie will provide exactly the same experience whether projected on a big screen or channeled through a small screen ... Do friends of theater folks skip out on a run, promising to watch the token camcorder rehearsal tape later just because they have an 'in'? Do fans of musicians become last-minute flakes, pledging in absentia to listen to sound-board recordings or studio albums as a consolation even though stage performance is a completely different animal? In general, we don’t think so on either count, so what makes the public showing of a movie – especially a locally-made one that will not get that much public exposure until formally distributed, which may take one or more years to arrange – that expendable?"<br>
<br>By the same token, we wonder aloud once again what our purpose is here with these e-mails, CUBiz, and C-U Blogfidential is as a whole, other than to satisfy our own whims and fill what we believe to be a gap in creative arts coverage here in Champaign, Urbana, and the cities beyond. We won't know otherwise unless you visit CUBlog and give feedback about it as a personal e-mail or a posted Comment:<br>
