K-ON! Screening at Midnight

K-ON! fans in Osaka will have a unique opportunity on December 3.  The Apollo Cinemas 8 will be showing midnight screenings of the upcoming K-ON! film.  The theater is warning individuals that drive to watch the screen will have to find alternate parking, because the parking lot that the Apollo Cinemas 8 is located closes for the night at midnight and reopens at 7:00 a.m. the that morning.  Have fun at the screening.

AMV of the Week

Let’s throw one to the TV crowd.  This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber cooltrainertom.  The music for this AMV was from Lo-Ball, Paule Perrette’s band, “Can’t get me Down” and is edited to scenes of her from NCIS. The song is catchy, her smile is infectious and the editing of the scenes captures the upbeat theme of the song and the Abby character.  If you want to see the video on YouTube search under the tag “Ncis Abby – Can’t get me down” or check it out below. Nice job cooltrainertom.
