"In 1988, master horror/suspense filmmaker John Carpenter (The Thing, Escape from New York and, most importantly, Halloween) made an action thriller about aliens surreptitiously taking over the Earth by planting subliminal messages everywhere and turning humans into mindless consumers. Thirty years later, the impact of that film, They Live, is still being felt."

Yes, the ever enduring game series continues its 30th anniversary celebration with a concert in LA. And with it a title still not getting any changes from Square Enix North America. Because, that's far too long a name for a concert. It does have a long list of music and famed musician Nobuo Uematsu in attendance. So sit back and listen to a concert orchestra play classic tune with HD visual from the games.

So what's Gintama? Gintama is a live action Japanese film based on a long running gag manga and anime of the same name. It follows the title character, the white-haired samurai Gintoki Sakata and his two teenage friends, the super strong red-haired Kagura and a pair of glasses...I mean Shinpachi Shimura. They work together at Gin's Odd Jobs, doing exactly what their job is titled. All taking place in feudal Japan that's been influenced by technology from aliens.

the hilarious ‘90s animated series starring the wacky Warner Brothers
(and the Warner Sister, Dot) is back in live form, as voice actors Rob
Paulsen, Tress MacNeille, and Jess Harnell reunite with original
songwriter Randy Rogel for an unforgettable evening. The group will
perform songs from the beloved show, in addition to several numbers that
didn’t make the cut the first time around. A delightful show for all
ages!"
