Masks and Goggles: Dr. Horrible’s Halloween Charity Screening

Posted by System Administrator | Nov 9, 2008 | Movies & TV, Our Events, Reviews |

Halloween Night in West Hollywood now has a new address – the Regency Fairfax Theater at the charity screening of Joss Whedon’s cyber hit Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. As early as 7:30 PM people, dressed in their Halloween best goggles-and-labcoat, were lined up outside the theater on a balmy Halloween night, ready for the big-screen debut not only of Dr. Horrible but also The Guild, another internet-only show. The prints for both Dr. Horrible and The Guide were produced by Whedonopolis’ own DVD author, Josh Rubinstein, as exclusive movie-sized open-caption prints along with karaoke-style lyrics so that those who have not committed the libretto to memory could still sing right along.

SDCC 2008: Once More With Feeling Screening

Posted by Shan Ray | Jul 28, 2008 | Events, Our Events, San Diego Comic-Con |

The screening of Once More With Feeling happened only after the powers that be at Comic Con negotiated with 20thCentury Fox, after a year of legal obstacles to permit this popular episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer to be splashed across the four big screens in Ballroom 20. And Whedonopolis was tapped to present this event, providing prizes and giveaways in the form of buttons and finger puppets and "parking tickets" to go with the singing and dancing anticipated by Buffy fans well heeled in the lyrics and the waving of lit cellphones.

Posted by System Administrator | Apr 25, 2007 | Movies & TV, Our Events, Reviews |

April 20th, 2007, the day we had all been waiting for, had finally arrived. After all the planning, discussions, lack of sleep, and so on, the day of our big damned screening was finally here, and we were all very excited. I know that, personally, I was also very nervous. How would it go? Would it be smooth? Would people have fun? The next several hours would answer all of these questions.

Sci-Fi Friday Reloaded: The Buffy 10th Anniversary Charity Screening

Posted by Shan Ray | Apr 25, 2007 | Movies & TV, Our Events, Reviews |

Well before the party started, the line forming outside looked for all the world like an Important Special Screening, which, of course, it was. The 300 tickets for the charity screening of Buffy’s musical episode ‘Once More with Feeling’ and Angel’s puppet "Smile Time" took less than three weeks to sell out, once they became available online. In addition to the cost of tickets, "goodie bags" were sold with such treasures as bubble-blowers, glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth, Sunnydale Parking Violations (specially designed by Alikhat), light sticks and "Grr-Argh" finger puppets, that are vital to audience participation in the show. Drawing tickets gave people a shot at owning their own Puppet Angel doll from Sideshow Collectibles or a complete set of Spike: Asylum comics from IDW Comics. Also, items unique to the evening, buttons and bookmarks, were given to those filing in, loudly handed out by Suzanne as "two pieces of crap! Have you got your two pieces of crap?" Never were two pieces of crap more highly prized.
