7 - 7:25 Outlaw Star 5 (BD, Funi)
7:25 - 7:50 Sampler:
Restaurant to Another World (CR)
7:50 - 8:40 Little Witch Academia TV 21-22 (fs)
8:40 - 9 intermission
9 - 11 Feature: Shin Godzilla (BD)
Notes: We were running a bit behind schedule, so we held off on the sampler to make sure our feature didn't run too long. Alan had just received his Shin Godzilla Blu-ray earlier in the week (coincidentally, the original suit actor for Godzilla, Haruo Nakajima, had passed away on Monday), so we put this long-awaited film on the schedule and Gene made sure to let Steve Turney know so he could show up. Hideaki Anno's commentary on Japanese political leadership (or lack thereof) in the face of disaster wasn't exactly Steve's speed, so he took off.
Oh, but Geoff made it! His old truck was giving out, so he came down to LA so he could trade it in and buy a new one (from Enterprise - they rent cars for 3 months, then turn around and sell them), and he had a chance to make the rounds in Little Tokyo, the club, etc.
