This weekend the movie's on Friday. The MPMS Movies in the Park series in on a two week break, returning August 28th with Up!. In the meantime, Radio CPR/CommunityPoweredRadio is hosting a benefit tonight at La Casa. You'll get to see Tim Burton's "Pee Wee's Big Adventure." A classic if there ever was one. You don't want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel. The $2.00 donation will go to Radio CPR. La Casa is located at 3166 Mount Pleasant Street NW. Movie starts at 8:00pm.

Video: Watching the HBO Cube
HBO, the cable movie channel, promoted itself by creating several free, two minute films to be shown in public. The films were shown on each wall of a 16x16 cube. When watched in sequence they came together to form a longer, nuanced story. Viewers had to walk around the cube several times to view different scenes the stories, which played continuously all night, not necessarily in order.
The experience was pretty neat. After each two minute clip you had to rotate around the cube to essentially see the exact same story played out from a different angle or point of view. After watching the same story through three or four viewpoints, you get to piece together what actually transpired, although there are still questions which remain. Perhaps that's supposed to drive you to the HBO website or to the channel itself. Pretty cool, even for an advertisement. If you don't want to or can't go to Adams Morgan to see this thing, you can watch online at HBO Imagine.
Here's video of people watching the cube: yes a video of people watching a video. Early Thursday night. The corner of 18th St and Columbia Rd NW.

Movie Cube in Adams Morgan
Last night I came upon a giant cube. It was perhaps 15 or more feet tall and just as wide. Right on the northeast corner of 18th and Columbia Rds, NW. There was a film showing on one side. Apparently a promotion for HBO. Inside various Adams Morgan bars, mini cubes to complete the promotion. It's called the Imagine Cube. Pretty neat. I don't have HBO though. I did like the Sopranos when it was on TV.
