The crazy thing is, not only does this qualify hands-down as the longest CS<\/strong> installment, but we know of at least two additional<\/em> on-campus screenings scheduled for this weekend\u00a0that we simply don’t have time to verify and write up. Crikey! Is there actually such a thing in these parts as too much cinema<\/em>? Find out next week when we tell you what’s “Coming Soon” to a theater near C-U!<\/p>\n
