Tonight! Thursday February 17th at 8PM come out to Legion Bar for Big Fat Scary Thursdays. Every third Thursday of the month prepare for scares and laughs as Ben and Henry (and Ed) host/mock a horror movie. This weeks choice… Friday The 13th The Final Chapter. Not my favorite of the series but probably great for cannon fodder.
But wait there’s more… Not only do you get a feature length film with live commentary by some of the funniest guys in town, you also get to see the latest installment in the Fatal Attractions series. “Whats that?” you ask. Well none other than a 30 minute onslaught of trailers, commercials and just plain weird stuff put together by none other but yours truly, Daily Planet Blogger Matt D. So make sure you get there early or you’ll miss it.
Ok, one more time…

Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.

Lloyd Kaufman. To some he’s a film god, the David to Hollywood’s Goliath providing sharp, urbane horror and comedy to a public tired of the white-washed crumbs of the mainstream cinema. To others he’s a crass schlockmyseter, a sad, self aggrandizing turd polisher who couldn’t even reach the levels of Corman or Myers as an auteur but who’s publicity eclipses them both. […]
