Weekanerd NYC: David Lynch, Dodgeball, Comic Bloggers, and LOST

Monday, March 10

• Eraserhead w/ J. Hoberman
  
• 4:30, 6:50, 9:30 @ BAM Rose Cinema, 30 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn

Film critic J. Hoberman is celebrating his 30th year at the Village Voice, so BAM is showcasing a number of films he memorably reviewed, or just plain liked a lot. Hoberman will introduce this screening of Eraserhead, who called it a "piece of post-nuclear guignol" in his original 1977 review.

Comic bloggers, Lost, and gym class flashbacks after the jump...

Tuesday, March 11

• Heidi MacDonald (PW Beat), Brian Heater (The Daily Cross-Hatch), Kiel Phegley (Wizard Universe), and John DiBello (Bully Says)
  
• 8pm @ The P.I.T., 154 W. 29th Street, Manhattan
  

Comic bloggers on parade! If you have any questions about where the comic industry is headed (or the comic blogging industry), this is the place to get your voice heard. Tickets are, as always, a mere $5.

Wednesday, March 12

• Drop-In Dodgeball
  
• 7pm @ Some Gym in Manhattan (you need to RSVP for the address)
  

Dodgeball may generally be associated with positive memories for geekanerds, but you're all grown up now and surely decades of playing first person shooters have sharpened up your hand eye co-ordination. Registration is $15, which guarantees you at least two games. Winners get two pitches and free Pizza at the Boss Tweed after party. Losers get to feel bad about themselves. The website says it's co-ed, friendly, and 22 and over.

Thursday, March 13

• Get Lost!
  
• 6:30 @ Professor Thom's, 219 2nd Avenue, Manhattan
  

Free jello shots whenever someone says "oceanic 6" or punches Ben. I don't even like Lost, and I know that's awesome. I passed by this place last week, they've got the show on a bunch of huge screens and the volume is cranked, if you're concerned about missing some valuable info in a public setting.

David Lynch Slams the iPhone

Kudos to the snarky bastard who made this clip of crotchety filmmaker David Lynch into an iPhone commercial spoof. Having no desire to watch a movie on a teeny tiny screen, I'm inclined to agree with the man. I at least respect his passion.

Weekanerd NYC: Medal of Honor Tournie, Meet Veronica Mars, Mulholland Drive

Friday, November 16th

• Medal of Honor Heroes 2 Launch
  
• 6pm@ Nintendo World, 10 Rockefeller Plaza, Manhattan

There's a tournament at 7pm and these freakin' events always fill up incredibly fast, so if you think you've got the goods I'd call the store (646-459-0800) and ask what you've got to do to get a spot. Then again, the only advertised prize is the Wii Zapper, so maybe don't get too excited.

Saturday, November 17th

• Mulholland Drive
  
• 12:10am @ IFC Center, 323 Sixth Ave, Manhattan

That scene in the parking lot with the monster man is so scary.

Sunday, November 18th

• The Big Apple Con
  
• 10am @ Penn Plaza Pavilion, 401 Seventh Avenue at 33rd St., Manhattan

This "Comic Book, Art, Toy & Sci-Fi Expo" is actually the entire weekend. Plenty of good stuff is happening on Saturday, including a Peter David comics panel at 1:30pm and your chance to get something signed by Hayden Panettiere at 5:30. BUT, Sunday is the only day to meet Kristen Bell (2:30). When I hear "meet", I'm thinking like, coffee? Dinner and a movie? $18 in advance, $20 at the door.
