ANIME SACRAMENTO NEWSLETTER, JUNE-JULY '04
Welcome to the June-July 2004 Anime Sacramento Newsletter. Meetings of Anime Sacramento are bi-monthly, usually on the 2nd Saturday of the odd-numbered months, at the private residence of Laurine White, Sacramento, California. Email the editor, LVBwhite@concourse.net for info and directions. I enjoy trading non-commercial Japanese-language anime (such as tv episodes), and do limited freebie-dupes of same. E-mail me about trading tapes and some stuff I have for sale. (Please put Subject line something like Attention Laurine, or it might get accidentally deleted with all the !@#$%&* spam.) Anime Sacramento showings are non-smoking, non-alcoholic and non-hentai (if kids are here). The house has plenty on-street parking in front. It's 5 minutes walk from a supermarket and from the Bus 1 route, 10-minute drive from A-1 Comics and diverse cuisine restaurants. There's no set program schedule; it's a social event. If you have allergies, this house has a cat.
Next meeting, will be Saturday, July 10, from 1pm to 10pm. Nikaku has provided free Neon Genesis posters for giveaway at the meeting! Thank you kind folks who brought quality munchies in May: Matt and Terisa for the Arizona tea (very popular) and the veggie and sushi platters; thank you, Dan, for the Japanese snacks, Ben for the cheesecake snacks, Terry for the chocolate cake and Anniversary balloon, Larry for the juice, and Amy for the cokes. Plenty of sodas are on hand for July, also some cheesecake and chips. Thank you again, Matt, for the giant robot shows and Bob Wilkins tribute programming in May. For July we'll be showing The Cat Returns, more episodes of Peace Maker Kurogane, Full Metal Alchemist, Monkey King (all thanks to Greco), Megas XLR Battle of the Planets parody episode, recent anime CDs. How about a Stephen Chow movie? Also, I have some 3rd season REBOOT DVDs. Dinner break is 7-8pm (or whenever). Any anime requests? Bring your favorite new anime DVDs. And the air conditioning will be working!
Megas XLR plays on Cartoon Network Saturday nights. Great giant robot parody!

Of Northern California interest: Summer movies 2004 coming to Sacramento (in the Sacramento Bee Ticket) include THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL (documentary set in Mongolia, opens July 2), Takeshi Kitano's ZATOICHI (opens July 7), HERO (opens August 20), GODZILLA (release date ?), and SHAOLIN SOCCER (release date ?). INFERNAL AFFAIRS (the HK version) gets a limited American release on September 10. (MiramAxe keeps postponing its releases.)
CineArts is the art house theater arm of the Century Cinema business. (Warning, I'm venting here) Not content with just building Century theaters all over Sacramento to show the big budget movies, these bozos want to open an art theater too, even with a website for its cinearts chain. Add www and cinearts and .com. I won't put the link here; the concept pushes my mad button. On the website, the downtown Sacramento CineArts is practically a done deal. Sacramento has two art houses already, in the only two movie palaces left in town. (Don't get me started on the Alhambra, from movie palace to Safeway parking lot!) These art houses have perfectly good cafes next to them (Tower Café, Crest Café), where I've enjoyed excellent meals. Century would put its new CineArts (with a café inside) right across the street from the Crest Theater & Café. This theater would be subsidized by millions of dollars from the pockets of the Sacramento City taxpayers, with no say from them, just by fiat from the City Council, which cares nothing about independent theaters or local movie palaces. I want to see Zatoichi or Shaolin Soccer at the Tower or at the Crest (http://www.thecrest.com), not have the 800-pound gorilla snatch the more profitable art films from the independent theaters. (And I hate those deteriorating seats at the Century Folsom!)
Comcast Cable (http://www.comcast.com) sneakily added eleven foreign language channels to the lineup between #241 - 255, with the Filipino Channel, 2 Chinese-language stations, TV Asia and another Indian station (bollywood movies), TV-Japan (taiga drama, Shinsengumi tv series), a Vietnamese station (running Swordsman II tv series), and more.

According to the Sacramento Bee: he solicited investors for a company that supposedly developed a (non-existent) facial recognition system; he accepted money for orders for a collectors DVD set of My So-Called Life episodes that were never sent to buyers; he owes $thousands to SMUD on the electric bill for the K Street Comics & Comix. The two remaining Comics & Comix stores are now closed. (Comics & Comix was my favorite comics store from the mid-1970s until it moved into the downtown mall.)
