Feel free to thumb through and read what has gone before; leave Comments below about those stories or your own favorite CUBlog <\/strong>entries.<\/p>\n

Select C-U Blogfidential Stories, 2006-2011<\/strong>
\nPart 5 of 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFlix houses nixed in Normal<\/span>,\u201d 12\/13\/09<\/a> \u2013 Another instance where out-of-reach circumstance causes the hairs on our necks to bristle a bit, we can\u2019t help but feel for employees every time a movie theater goes down for the count, no matter how iconic or ignominious a space. We shout out to the owners of operational silver screens nationwide who are battling market forces to keep their front doors open.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Knife\u2019 #2: ALL WE HAD and more<\/span>,\u201d 9\/23\/09<\/a> \u2013 Bylines not bearing your editor\u2019s name are a rarity on CUBlog<\/strong>, yet we\u2019re humble enough to realize contributors\u2019 words can add great variety to our coverage when it\u2019s available. Therefore, we shout out to Michelle Elizabeth Kaffko<\/strong> for being the first to give it a serialized shot with her \u201cA Knife in a Gun Fight<\/strong>\u201d Chicago <\/strong>column. Encore, encore!<\/p>\n

\u201cView a Quantum of Awesomeness<\/span>,\u201d 12\/8\/2008<\/a> \u2013 The general public inherently understands how touching and personable the moving image can be; no subset understands this better than the media makers themselves. We shout out to hopelessly creative romantics like Chris Lukeman<\/strong> (at the link below) and Don Ferguson<\/strong> (right here<\/a>) for daring to show hearts upon sleeves for all to see!<\/p>\n

\u201cAPE screams WEREWOLF Oct. 13<\/span>,\u201d 10\/13\/08<\/a> \u2013 Brainsmart Productions<\/strong> has this strange aura that triggers an otherwise dormant sliver of your humble editor\u2019s personality, transforming his whole being into something inexplicably weird. Or, maybe this shift can be blamed on the PBR <\/strong>and Old Style<\/strong> he tends to drink when Jason Butler<\/strong> is in town. We shout out \u201cto all our friends!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cQ&A du C-U: Eleanore Stasheff<\/span>,\u201d 1\/17\/07<\/a> \u2013 We\u2019ll reiterate from Part 3<\/a> that we hold dear all our full-length interviews, although this one with C-U native \u201cMiss Yibble\u201d takes the cake for highest concentration of sugar, spice, slugs, snails, and sheer irreverence. We shout out to all champions of genre and the low-brow who make it worth their viewers\u2019 while to tag along simply to have fun.<\/p>\n
