Free CMT Food Truck

Tomorrow from 11a-4p, Country Music Television will be giving out free KFC to promote the premiere of "Top Secret Recipe." The truck will be parked on 44th St. between 6th Avenue and Broadway. 


Free Night NYC, Part 2

The free theatre giveaways continue! Now you can enter to win tickets to Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway productions from 10.17-10.31. You can pick up to five performances, but you have to fill out your lottery entry by 10.7. This is also happening in a couple other regions, so check this out if you're not in New York.

Free Korean Movie

The Korean Culture Society is hosting a free screening of the thriller Moss in celebration of Halloween. Presumably there will be subtitles. 10.31, 6:30p, at Tribeca Cinemas (54 Varick Street). First come, first served. Sounds like a good option for celebrating Halloween the day of, while still having to acknowledge that it's on a Monday night this year.

"Kang Woo-Suk has made more blockbusters than any other Korean director (PUBLIC ENEMY, SILMIDO, HANBANDO) and this movie, stuffed with stars, was yet another massive critical and commercial hit for him. A disgraced cop travels to the remote village where his estranged father has just died of “natural causes” and rapidly uncovers a conspiracy that reaches back decades and encompasses hundreds of people. An epic thriller, this unrelenting flick grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go."


It has a 70% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but no reviews, so.

Caw-cah cha!

So, this happened today:


Will Arnett led everyone in a chicken-off at the Arrested Development reunion panel (part of the New Yorker festival). And, the internet wet itself with the news, but in case you haven't heard: there's going to be a new season leading into the movie (slated for 2013...this is turning into the 2nd Avenue subway). 


UPDATE: Jezebel has more on the reunion--head over for a bunch of clips and fun facts in one place.

This might be the best photo ever. Notice Jeffrey Tambor in the back.

Jonny Q

Animator Roger D. Evans has created a perfect stop-motion replica of the Jonny Quest opening. I have vague memories of occasionally watching this as a kid, but I didn't realize that it only had one season. A lot of those shows from my childhood lasted for way less time than I thought (this explains why I've seen every episode of Saved by the Bell multiple times). Check it:


Evans had to make all of the action figures, because they never made any Jonny Quest toys? I find that hard to believe.

Hey girl, I've got some free movies for you.

1) At the Village Voice you can enter to win tickets to an advance screening of The Ides of March on 10.6 at 7p. Enter here.


2) Fangoria is screening The Dead for free on 10.16 at 10p (Cinema Village 22 E. 12th St.). RSVP to fangoriascreening@gmail.com, and put 'THE DEAD' as the subject.

The Creators Project 2011

The New York Creators Project is officially happening 10.15-10.16 in DUMBO. My Free Concert has really been hyping it up, and while I didn't attend last year, it sounds epic.

A bunch of art installations and films are on the bill, along with a lot of live music (e.g., Florence + the Machine, Atlas Sound, Four Tet, etc.). There may be free food and booze. This also includes Karen O.'s theatre/music project at St. Ann's Warehouse (a great space that may not be around next season). Except for that one, all the events are free. YOU MUST RSVP. Do it now. Keep in mind, you can only RSVP for one of the two days, but it looks like most of the music will be happening on the 15th. 

The Creator's Project website has more information; they'll be updating with schedules soon (and might be giving away Stop the Virgens tickets).
