C-U Blogfidential

It was inevitable. We had to start putting all this popular and arcane knowledge to good use somehow. Therefore, we’ve begun fitting a few of those pieces into place on our new Plot Points du C-U page!

CNN has announced the broadcast premiere of the Roger Ebert documentary LIFE ITSELF will be on Sunday, January 4, 2015.

From the “Images of the Week” Dept.: No need anymore to rely solely on iPods and ear buds to hear the best of local indie rock and rap, kids! The new UI-7 show CU HEADPHONES has you covered with Elsinore and everyone else.

In the first of several consecutive posts wherein your humble editor pulls a Mr. Peabody and goes back in time to facilitate education, he introduces college-era friend Scott Jenkins and the Syfy special CARVERS airing March 4, 2014, on which Jenkins served as producer!

The Count von Count would have a field day here on C-U Blogfidential today… ONE thoughtful teen comedy! ONE psychological drama! ONE small-town collage! And two, TWO food documentaries! That equals FIVE local movies premiering in TEN days’ time! Ah ha ha!

WILL Channel 12, the PBS affiliate based at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is reviving a previous collaborative project with the production of the special program WE ARE MONTICELLO. If you are a resident of Monticello, you can be involved!

So, apparently we have time for pitching retro culture and pretty girls via Bachelor Pad Magazine and bitching about whatever irks on the Damian Duffy Hates Everything podcast, but not draft new material for C-U Blogfidential. Well, except for this. We’re confused. You?

From the “Images of the Week” Dept.: WILL-TV 12 will air a compilation of clips featuring the late Roger Ebert, EBERT REMEMBERED, later tonight, Thursday, April 18, 2013, at 8 p.m. Also, take a look at Shatterglass Studios videos about Ebertfest and the Virginia Theatre!

From the “Images of the Week” Dept.: The fourth annual New Art Film Festival serves as the primary subject matter for the new episode of ART NOW! which first aired on Urbana Public Television this past Monday, March 11, 2013. Experience it right here or find out when it next appears on UPTV!

We want YOU to provide the cinematic BOO in the C-U tonight! Read on to find out how right here on C-U Ghoulfidential!
