The Simpsons Take The Bowl Sounds Boring
Why not just get any of the voice actors to tell us about the event? Because, Matt Groening, Jim Brooks, David Silverman, Al Jean and Matt Selmanlack lack any showmanship anymore after growing fat and lazy in this video about The Simpson at the Hollywood Bowl.

Murder LA 000056
 |
| Diane Whipple |
If you were conscious of such things back in 2001, you may recall Diane Whipple, the lacrosse coach who was attacked and killed by dogs right outside the door of her own apartment, her keys still in the lock.
The Presa Canario dogs, Bane and Hera, belonged to Knoller and Noel. Well, that's who was looking after them, anyway. The "kids", as Marjorie referred to them in letters, actually belonged to Paul Schneider, an inmate serving a life sentence whom the couple met while doing legal work.

| Schneider |
Shortly before the dog attack Knoller and Noel legally adopted Schneider as their son. Their 38-year-old son.
Shortly after the dog attack they insisted the dogs had never shown aggression towards humans but many neighbors contradicted this.
 |
| Knoller and Noel |
Both dogs were put down. Robert Noel, who was not present during the attack, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. His wife was additionally found guilty of second-degree murder. The legal system has gone back and forth since on the murder conviction but after several appeals the California Supreme Court let it stand. She is still in prison.
Robert Noel has become a baker since being disbarred.

SpectreFest 2014 New Horror Happens
SpectreVision partners Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah and Josh C. Waller. are bringing the event back after enjoying it as much as the fans. Every event TTDILA attended last year they were in the audience.
SpectreFest
Sept 4-Oct 31
The Cinefamily
611 N Fairfax Avenue
Tickets start at $12; varies by event
What a delight to see grown women beat each other to death for a fiendish skinny weirdo and his fat wife. I was just watching Raze, which premiered at the festival last year. It, like many of the other films became cult hits after slowly being released by Magnet and IFC over the last year.
Now we have a whole new special screenings series with special guests to give us nightmares over the coming weeks leading to Halloween.
Starting off the strange and the scary is The Guest, having a free screening. If you missed it at Nextfest and the other free screening at USC, you yet again have another chance to catch it. A film from those who brought you "You're Next". Follow as a man claims to be dead soldier's friend and becomes a strange house guest.
Schedules permitting, Adam Wingard & Simon Barrett in person.
One of TTDILA's favorite directors, NachoVigolando, is having a Nacho Party! (feat. L.A. premiere of "Open Windows", plus "Confetti of the Mind: Nacho Vigolando Shorts")
Elijah Wood starring in it probably has no bearing on why it's in the festival. In the film, Wood plays Nick, an obsessed fan who wins a date with his obsession Jill Goddard played by Sasha Grey. Jill refuses, the heartbroken Nick gets something else from Jill's campaign manager, the ability to view her at all times via computer.
Can't wait for the weird shots we get out of it and the sense of humor you get in a thriller from Nacho Vigolando.
No word if Nachos will be served, but whatever, his films are always in good taste.
Other highlights include a screening of Nightbreed Dir. cut with Clive Barker attending and the 30th Anniversary screening of Gremlins with Joe Dante. Both of which I'm fairly certain already happened in LA earlier this year and last year. Barker will have a special Show and Tell section, showing ogg his creepy collectibles. He'll also be leaving his sketchbooks to view designs for his early creepy creations.
Show & Tell w/ Clive Barker & "Nightbreed": Director's Cut
Gremlins (30th Anniversary!)
Dead Snow 1 and 2 will have director Tommy Wirkola in person showing off how Nazi zombies can fight Communist zombies.
Kevin Smith's "Tusk" will be playing for one night with him in attendance. Based on a story that Kevin came up with during a podcast about an ad for someone willing to havefree room and board as long as they dressed like a Walrus.
Musical acts are strong with Chrome Canyon playing live to "Metropolis" again. Earlier in September, you have Polish experimental wizard Jacaszek playing live to "The Golem".
Check SpectreFest for updates on all the upcoming events. We merely lanced the boil on the growth of all that's going on.

Movie Hype: Everything Is Terrible Festival 5, Young Frankenstein 40th Anniversary and more
Movie Hype is a section of TTDILA that conquers the film industry. Letting you plan ahead for future special screenings in LA. We find the strangest, the most-outdated, post-modern, heart-breaking and funny films for you. We scour the net for strange new films for you to pick up, look at and go, "What we're they on and where can I get some!"
Before getting into the returning mess that we love to see unfold, Everything Is Terrible Festival 5, we'll go over some special screenings in LA and some sad news for the freedom of film in China, no not Transformers 4 cross-promotion.
A classic of comedy is having a special screening thanks to the Academy, Mel Brook's Young Frankenstein. It may be one of your only chances to see Mel Brooks alive and making the funny. Mel Brook's will be there, yes sir or ma'am or whatever we have now. It's five bucks.
Young Frankenstein 40th Anniversary
Tuesday, September 9 at 7:30 pm
Samuel Goldwyn Theater
8949 Wilshire Boulevard
Beverly Hills, CA 90211
$5
This special screening doesn't just hold Mel Brooks, its got Cloris Leachman;Frau Blücher, Teri Garr;Inga and producer Michael Gruskoff. They will most likely joke non-stop on stage.
This comedy is probably one of the funniest films ever made, though it may have done better in October for the special screening, who doesn't want to see Frankenstein dance, damn you, dance during Halloween! Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman alongside Peter Boyle as The Monster tear up Transylvania in this farce making fun of the constantly redone Hollywood monster franchise. Everyone of the actors captures your attention from their hilarious scenes, their personality to their characters own screw-ups and foibles.
Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein is summoned back to his ancestor's work and revives a new monster. Every scene is a send-up, every moment a modern day meme. Shot in black-in-white and using the original sets from Frankenstein the film captures the style of the Georgian while exuding Mel Brooks outlandish comedy style.
Here's a quote from the LA Times with an interview on how the film came to be
"I was in the middle of shooting the last few weeks of Blazing Saddles somewhere in the Antelope Valley, and Gene Wilder and I were having a cup of coffee and he said, I have this idea that there could be another Frankenstein. I said not another — we've had the son of, the cousin of, the brother-in-law, we don't need another Frankenstein. His idea was very simple: What if the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein wanted nothing to do with the family whatsoever. He was ashamed of those wackos. I said, "That's funny."
On a sadder note, we have Levitated Mass opening next weekend.
Levitated Mass
Starts September 5
Nuarte Theater
Remember the $10 million spent on putting a giant boulder at LACMA? Levitated Mass is a documentary of how the boulder got there. If you're white and love watching documentaries on Netflix then I suggest you wait until it's on Netflix.
Director Doug Pray, and I pray he is an eccentric weirdo to hear, will be at two showings Fri & Sat, September 5 & 6 at the Nuarte.
The film follows the boulders journey and the eccentric artist Michael Heizer, the man behind the boulder, sadly not crushing him. Hey, why not have that as his final piece, have the boulder crush him! Pray tells us the tale that we saw on local news as the boulder made it's way through LA, finally resting at LACMA, not being very interesting or inspiring.
We have a tiny hope the film makes fun of the whole thing.
If it doesn't, we truly hope you don't take anyone not particularity interested in art as it will only push them further away. You're frankly a monster to make anyone go to this who thinks it's something more fun.
The Beijing Independent Film Festival, though far from LA is a way to connect with other lovers of film across the world. That's why it's appalling that the Chinese government stopped the festival from happening yet again this year. Strange rules and childish actions by the government have stopped it in the past. In 2012, power was cut to the screening venue. This year men were just blocking the entrance for the venue with a note saying the festival was no longer allowed by the Xiaopu Village Committee.
Films weren't approved by government censors, which due have strict policies.
Where it attempted to be held was no large venue. China is undergoing a huge transformation of entertainment with brand new theaters popping up for it's huge population. These theaters will only play what the government allows.

On that terrible going on in China, let's go over Everything Is Terrible Festival 5. It starts this week at the Cinefamily. Changed to the Everything is Festival, in some sort of lame attempt not to hurt the feelings of the films and people involved the festival, it will always be the Everything Is Terrible Festival.
Everything Is Terrible Festival 5
Aug 28-Sept 1
The Cinefamily
611 N Fairfax Avenue
$12
In the years past we've seen a women on stage eat a burger from McDonald's and spit it out, then it was passed around to the audience. That was Thu Tran of Food Party, and the eccentric and strange moments should continue on this year. Semi-celebrity types and comedians behind the scenes from big name comedy projects have special events. They'll be showing some of the worst films ever made to your delight to laugh at all over memorial weekend.
There's so much to highlight from just going to be gross to might bore you to death.
No live streaming, like last year, for shame Cinefamily. It let TTDILA fall asleep and have the weirdest dreams.
One of the starting films, Samurai Cop, is so beloved for it's badness that fans wrote to the Red Letter Media team to tell them it's star, Joe Marshall, was still alive. Considered the crown jewel of bad 90's movies, Samurai Cop is a tale of two partners tackling the Yakuza with bad jokes and puns slicing you throughout the film. Those jokes may not be funny, but the acting and everything else in the film is.
You could possibly piss yourself while seeing it with a big audience. The film takes on elements of 80's genre classics such as buddy cop, Yakuza, martial arts and action all rolled into one.
The film is attempting for a sequel decades later over on Kickstarter. Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance looks to be the perfect SyFy channel action movie with out any sci-fi elements.
This special showing will have a cast reunion.
Thurs, 8/28, 10:30pm: Samurai Cop (star Matt Hannon in person)
Getting over to what these movies inspired we have Cinefamily’s Most Outrageous Video Games 2 and man was it boring last year. Technical problems aside, those hosting had minimal personality, if you called what they did hosting.
Showing off the worst in gaming is done numerous times online, why no online entity of game smack-downs was asked to show off is bothersome to think about. What they'll show this year and let the audience play is anyone's guess.
This year it's presented with Glitch City LA, indie game making dudes based in Culver City.

Kyle Mooney & Nathan Fielder’s YouTube Treasures with Schrab & Harmon’s Found Crap + The Search For Weng Weng (L.A. premiere!) let you look at what comedians laugh at.
Mooney and Fielder both known for getting stuff to go viral and winning the award for most awkward to be around will be showing off what they've found on YouTube. They'll also be guest judge for the Found Footage Battle Royale. Rob Schrab and Dan Harmon have been making funny shows and hosting Channel 101 for years. They'll be showcasing a film with internet fame about the shortest man shooting a gun on screen.

Prison Pit might gross you out enough to become an Adult Swim show. I'm sure Johnny Ryan has tried pitching the adventures of a horrible mutated monster man creature trying to survive a prison world inhabited by other horrible mutated monster men. If you though bad hentai could be gross, you've never seen Ryan working it with his cartoony style and simple language of "f-word" and "c-word" being used in his comics. Ultraviolence is on the menu!Sat 8/30, 2:45pm: Prison Pit: Book One panel/screening (Johnny Ryan, Blake Anderson and more in person)
My Lunch With Kobayashi features the L.A. premiere of Hungry, a film about that guy who can eat a lot of hot dogs. They stole his title and won't let him participate in the hot dog eating championship anymore, because he wouldn't sign a contract with the food eating league. It may sound like a comedy film, but it isn't, it's a documentary on Takeru Kobayashi and two other prominent competitive eaters. Just writing that was hard to do.
