A week or so ago, Imagos Films was invited to participate in an interesting project. For five years now Chicago has been home to an event called the Sci-Fi Spectacular; a 12-18hr science fiction film marathon at an art-house in the city. The first five were at the amazing Music Box Theatre. This year it’s moving to the Portage. You know, just to shake things up.

Anyway, for the last five years a tradition has been established wherein sci-fi trailers are played between every film. Some are amazing (Alien, 2001, Planet of the Apes), some are not (I’m looking at you, Zardoz), but all are super fun.

He’s going to the slammer for 120 days and will owe the city one million items I’d buy that for.

Good luck, Kwame. Big ups. Thug life.

In other news, the new mayor has been chosen:

It is said that there will be an addition to the police force. More to come…
