A man, his pug, and ATLFF encourage you to see "Cinema Six"
ATLFF 2013 selection Cinema Six (a raunchy comedy about what happens when you work for too long at a movie theater) is now available on iTunes and other home video sites. Co-writer/director Mark Potts sends this video reminiscence of his time at the Atlanta Film Festival and what we're pretty sure is a description of a detour he took to the Clermont Lounge.
See Staff Favorites at Creative Loafing Best of Atlanta Party

Internet reacts to Ben Affleck as Batman
Winston Carter, Brand Rackley & Mark Potts from Cinema Six (ATLFF 2013) help us make sense of the "Ben Affleck as Batman" news.
Finally, an excuse to write about cake.
Ordinarily we don't post pictures of cake -- this isn't a food blog or CakeWrecks. But since Rob Paulsen and Maurice LaMarche (the voices of animated mice Pinky and the Brain, respectively) are coming to the Plaza Theatre in ten days, we now have an excuse to post a picture of this awesome birthday cake.
Rock Out With Your Inner Science Nerd Kid and They Might Be Giants
It's Friday afternoon, and that means it's time to shut down Outlook and surf web videos until five o'clock arrives. Might we suggest 2011 Mountainfilm in Telluride selection "I Am A Paleontologist?" It has every thing your inner science nerd needs - They Might Be Giants in animated form, dinosaurs, and taxonomy.
A Very Important Message From The Stars Of "The Spectacular Now"
The Spectacular Now was the Closing Night film at the Atlanta Film Festival this past March. The stars of that film, Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley, are very concerned about the life choices you make.
