Baby Cart to Hades at Film Hall

This sounds ridiculous:

To make up for last week's slow moving Incident at Blood Pass, which included surprisingly few incidences of blood, we've got a sure-fire deathfest for you this week:

LONE WOLF AND CUB III: BABY CART TO HADES!

In case you missed DRAGON's screenings of the first two films, here's a recap:

Heads roll, maniacs laugh, children commit murder, bloody handkerchiefs drift in the wind, and exposed chests get sliced wide open. It's a perfect way to prepare for GZA's performance next week, since his album Liquid Swords opens with a clip from this series. Don't miss 89 minutes of bloodshed and mayhem!

Date: Tuesday 4/29
Time: 9 pm
Place: Film Hall

Film Hall screening of KARATE BEARFIGHTER

DRAGON presents a screening of KARATE BEARFIGHTER. Check it out:

Sonny Chiba (The Streetfighter, Kill Bill) is karate's ultimate badass. His films are tougher, stupider and funnier than anything else in Japanese cinema, and this movie will be no exception.

When Chiba wins Japan's National Karate Tournament with his new and outrageous style, a league of reactionary karate preservationists try to force him back in line.

When: 9 pm tonight
Where: Film Hall.

Martial Arts Blaxploitation at Film Hall

Tuesday night movie at Film Hall:

So far this year the Defensive arts Recognition And Glamorization Organization for Non-practicers has depended entirely on Asia. For the first time, DRAGON presents a fully American feature:

THE LAST DRAGON

Netflix describes it as a combination of "martial arts, funk, blaxploitation, disco and former Prince girl Vanity". Our hero, "Bruce" Leroy, claims his title as "the shogun of Harlem". Surely not something to be missed!

Time: Tonight! Tuesday at 9 pm
Location: Film Hall (Nics 6 Basement)

Lone ronin and maniacal white-haired fiends!

DRAGON will be sponsoring a movie showing Tuesday night:

It's violent! It's racy! It's thematically challenging! A lone ronin walks the white path between fire and water: a path that leads to revenge.

DRAGON in conjunction with Film Hall presents Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx.

An installment of one of the most brutal, unforgiving samurai series of all times. A disgraced former executioner uses his sword and innocent child to seek vengeance from an evil gang led by a maniacal white-haired fiend! In this episode, our hero must defend himself from a deadly female ninja as he hunts the sinners who ruined his life!

Date: Tuesday, Feb. 12
Time: 9:00 PM
Location: Film Hall (basement of Nic 6)

Goodbye Dragon and Condor, hello WesFiles

Our personal Dragon and Condor accounts are being phased out and merged into WesFiles, which will use a web-based interface. It will handle both personal storage space and personal webpages.

WesFiles gives us:

• Web-based (and a few other methods, it seems) access to the files
• Easy sharing
• A 1GB quota! (this is compared to the 100MB Dragon and 20MB Condor quotas that were in effect previously)
• Remote access without setting up a VPN (you should be able to connect from home painlessly)

The data on your personal Dragon/Condor accounts should be moved automatically. Stuff from shared course folders, etc. will not.

More info is available at the WesFiles Blog. Everything is up and working now (although files haven't been transfered yet). I'm logged in now and so far everything looks good.
