The recent wave of 3D movies all use the new green and magenta Trioscopic 3D glasses. Recently, someone failed to return our glasses from Journey to the Center of the Earth, and the library checking it in failed to notice. Replacements have to be ordered in bundles of 50.
The good news in this is--we now have enough 3D glasses to have a 3D movie night!
We will be showing a 3D short with the upcoming Monsters and Aliens movie night, but an entire movie would be cooler still.
What do you think? Journey to the Center of the Earth? Coraline? My Bloody Valentine? Some other 3D film I don't know about yet? Let me know what you want to see!

Anime Halloween: License to Cosplay
I've been hoping to make our next Anime Afternoon some time in October, and this year Halloween is on a Saturday, so--Anime Halloween!
As an added incentive, anyone dressing up as an anime character (or, heck--anything else cool) will get a special bonus! Not sure yet what that will be, considering we already have door prizes and free food, but I'm thinking, and will be glad to consider suggestions.
We will have a really special door prize this session, as well--a Hellsing Ultimate messenger bag, provided by Rightstuf.com. It's so nice I almost decided to keep it myself!
More announcements later.

Summer movies
Videos fly off the shelves in Summer, but most major new video releases are in Spring and Fall, which makes this a slow season for movie buying.
One popular new addition that Wallace and Gromit fans may enjoy are three DVDs of Shaun the Sheep.
We have also added two new anime series, Black Blood Brothers--a vampire tale--and the highly-rated Kanon, th3e story of a boy with amnesia who returns to his childhood home to regain his memories.
A complete set of the four Fast and the Furious movies has also been added to our shelves.

The Outdoor Movie!
Everyone looks forward to our outdoor movies, I know. This year, we will only be having one. We will be showing the last Harry Potter movie to be released on DVD! And there will be a drawing for free movie passes, and a drawing to be the very first person allowed to check out Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from our library, when it is released to video.
So, get your lawn chairs, blankets and mosquito spray ready for August 24th, when the Library Movie braves the Great Outdoors! (Note: if it rains, we will change to the 25th.)

What's new in the movies!
Recently we've added the first two seasons of MonsterQuest to the shelves. This is the History Channel's series where they go out looking for cryptozological creatures such as Bigfoot, Chupacabras, and more. You may be particularly interested in the episode American Werewolf, which takes place in Southern Wisconsin and features the Bray Road Beast. (Never heard of it? Check out our book on the critter!) Wisconsin is also mentioned in the chapter on gigantic and dangerous freshwater fish.
We have also added the Underworld trilogy. Need more vampires and werewolves between Twilight films? Look for Underworld on our shelves (as soon as I've finished watching it!)
Sounds a bit Gothy for midsummer, doesn't it? I've recently discovered the work of Goth singer/artist Aurelio Voltaire, and am listening to his CDs nonstop. His graphic novel, The Book of Deady, about an ugly teddy bear possessed by an evil alien, is on our shelves now in the Young Adult section. Coming soon is his previous work, Oh My Goth! and Deady Sings!, a CD sampler containing some of Voltaire's most morbidly funny songs. (I don't buy the music for Seymour, but if there is enough interest, I will see to it that more Voltaire gets on our shelves.) Check out his website for streaming music and even an online Deady video game! http://www.voltaire.net
Also new in the graphic novel sections, we have acquired almost all of the manga series Eyeshield 21, an action/comedy Shonen Jump series about school football players.
Back to Gothyness, Elizabeth is going to have some passes to Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince you can win! More details when I have them!

Summer's here!
School is coming to a close, and the movie schedule is being jostled around other events--but we will still be showing films! Expect a couple of game nights on Friday as well!
The Anime Afternoon was a great success, with more attendance than any previous time. A fun time was had by all, and nobody died of the Japanese curry cooked by me. Since then, we've added the disrespected but still amusing anime, Trouble Chocolate, to the library shelves. Featuring the greatest love story between a Frankenstein and a vampire ever told. (Heh!)
No news yet on any outdoor movies, but we generally have a few around August, when it gets dark early enough and is not yet too cold. I will keep you posted!
