DEAD ALIVE: Touted as "The Goriest Fright Film of All Time," Dead Alive (aka Braindead) will be playing tonight at Central Cinema. And yes, they will be featuring Peter Jackson's director's cut with the full lawnmower scene. The plot sounds fantastic--a woman is bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey, dies, and comes back to life to kill and eat DOGS, among other living creatures. It doesn't get much more awesome than that.

THEATER: The Brown Derby Series, which debilitated audiences last year with their staged production of Trapped in the Closet, is back, this time they're doing Total Recall. With Seattlest favorite Dusty Warren!

Last night, Seattlest was witness to a monumental pop culture event: Ian Bell's Brown Derby Series' interpretation of R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet (Chapters 1-12).

Luckily this week offers two prime opportunities to, as the kids might say, "act a fool."

America wasn't always the greatest county in mid-North America. In fact,there was even a time when some parts of this nation didn't allow dancing. Imagine that: you had the right to carry a concealed weapon into an Olive Garden, but you couldn't shake-shake-shake, shake your bootie.
