LA RIP VHS BBQ



When those Chicago freaks had the nerve to say that their hot dog of a town was the unofficial home of EIT! I say bullshit. So what if it's where we all started the gang? So what if literally every other member is living there right now? Don't they know that LA is home to Ghoul 'Fro-Yo' Skool? Los Angeles is also the birthplace of VHS, and the grill. You love both of those things you say? Well then you're in fucking luck. This Monday at the world's most dangerous movie house THE CINEFAMILY (aka The Silent Movie Theatre) will be presenting THE 5 MINUTES GAME! I'll let them explain what that is...

Summer's around the corner, and you know how the Cinefamily loves to usher in the new season: by busting out the patio grill, and playing The Five Minutes Game. What's all this about a game, you ask? We're firm believers in the concept of "every movie is interesting for at least its first five minutes": those fascinating moments when you're still entering the new world a film presents you, and trying to figure out what the hell's going on in it. What we're gonna do is choose fifteen movies you've likely never seen before (with most, if not all of them unavailable on DVD), line 'em up, and show you only the first five minutes of each (not counting their opening credits.) After that, you, the audience, gets to vote on which film out of the fifteen we all then watch in its entirety. So, bring something to cook on our grill, and let's get started!

SUMMER FUN!

Hey Chicago!

Come join us this Tuesday, June 1 at 9pm for some FREE summertime fun at the Hungry Brain! We'll be playing seasonal EIT shorts and a feature-length turd of YOUR choice, and Davey K. and Friends! are returning for more hot puppet action!

This show will be a benefit for the amazing Odd Obsession Video, the unofficial Chicago headquarters of EIT (and official Chicago Jerry drop-off point)! Come by the store and check out our new EIT PIKKS AND HITS shelf, where you can satisfy your morbid curiosity with full length source tapes from some classic EIT videos!

Hope all y'all are hard at work on your videos for TUFF ENUFF 4 EIT next week, because we'll be getting our crystal energy cleansed by dolphins! Things have been tough around the office lately, and our chakras could use a good realignment, so don't let us down Internet!



SUBMISSIONS DUE SUNDAY, MAY 30 AT 12AM CST!

THE GREAT HAIRDINI

Much like the master of mystery himself, this product should get punched in the stomach and die from Peritonitis.

A LIL' SOMETHING FOR GRANDMA ON HUMP DAY

I tried to make a 2.5-minute version of the movie Rappin' but I failed miserably.

So here's something adorably inappropriate for you.



I still believe the 2.5 minute version can be done... I just can't cut out all that sweet, sweet rappin'.

THIS MAN NEEDS YOUR JURASSIC PARKS!

Unless you've been in rehab for the past 4 months, you probably already know we have made it our mission to track down every VHS copy of Jerry Maguire in existence.

Recently, we were contacted by someone with a similar obsession and we were so moved by his story that would like to share it with you.



Kurt has collected 229 copies of Jurassic Park, including:
- 3 copies which are in the original shrink wrap with Jello Jigglers mail-in rebates
- 6 widescreen / letterbox editions
- 1 double-tape special edition
- 1 special Canadian import
- 1 Japanese version bought in Japan

Sadly, there will never be enough copies of Jurassic Park on VHS to slake this man's thirst. If you have a copy of Jurassic Park to donate, please contact Kurt at kurtasbestos.com. Together, we can make a difference.
