MFHQ & YOU:<\/strong>
\n Khan You Feel It, Kiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkk?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a rather discombobulated week here in MICRO-FILM Country<\/strong>, tempered somewhat by surprise job prospects materializing for your humble editor and enjoyable evenings spent at Urbana<\/strong>\u2019s Station Theater<\/strong> to see Way-Off Broadway<\/strong><\/span>, the newest stage production created by local filmmaker Mike Trippiedi<\/strong>, and Champaign<\/strong>\u2019s Art Theater<\/strong> to watch STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN<\/strong> in glorious 35mm. That said, we\u2019re once again serving up a lean slice of the Biz<\/strong> since we\u2019re tardy in posting the news and views you expect from us. Plenty will be discussed on C-U Blogfidential<\/strong> in the coming weeks, including our decision to flat-out postpone the publication of C-U Confidential \u201999<\/strong>, so check in often to gobble up the goods!<\/p>\n

LINKS OF THE WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pantagraph<\/strong><\/span> provides our external reading this time out, starting with an article posted on Tuesday<\/a> about the high school board of small town Eureka<\/strong> suspending first-year teacher Rhett Felix<\/strong> for showing segments of THE DAILY SHOW<\/strong> during a class. One day later, the newspaper gifted us with this piece<\/a> about a new public service announcement (PSA) produced for the State Farm Insurance Company<\/strong>, headquartered in Bloomington<\/strong>, which features William Shatner<\/strong> musing over the dangers of mishandling turkey fryers during Thanksgiving<\/strong>; make sure to watch the PSA itself<\/a>, which douses Shatner with some of the craziest CGI flames you\u2019ll ever see!<\/p>\n
