One thing your humble editor is quite thankful for today, other than sharing a few refreshing days with family during the long Thanksgiving<\/strong> weekend, is that he proactively spent time before the holiday distributing the brand-new issue 7<\/strong> of C-U Confidential<\/strong> digest!<\/a> The primary reason, of course, is that he wants to get it in your<\/em> hands as soon as possible. If you have not yet enjoyed our most recent print collection of the stories behind the movies of Champaign, Urbana<\/strong>, and the cities beyond, do it now<\/em>. CUZine #7<\/strong> can be yours for the ultra-low price of FREE this Cyber Monday and many days after if you hurry to the following locations\u2026<\/p>\n

In Champaign, visit Aroma Caf\u00e9<\/strong>, the Art Theater Co-op, Caf\u00e9 Kopi<\/strong>, the Champaign County Convention & Visitors Bureau<\/strong>, the Champaign Public Library, Espresso Royale @ Neil & Kirby, Espresso Royale @ Sixth & Daniel, Exile on Main Street, Furniture Lounge, Ippatsu Salon, Jane Addams Bookshop<\/strong>, the downtown Jupiter\u2019s Pizza & Billiards<\/strong> and Merry Ann\u2019s Diner, Mike \u2018n Molly\u2019s, Pekara Bistro, Quality Beer, That\u2019s Rentertainment<\/strong>, and the WEFT 90.1 FM<\/strong> studios to grab the goods. In Urbana, seek out Caffe Paradiso, Cinema Gallery, Crane Alley, Espresso Royale @ Goodwin & Oregon, Flying Machine Coffee\/Pizza M, Heartland Gallery, Priceless Books<\/strong>, the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center<\/strong>, and the Urbana Free Library<\/strong> to nab the movie news fit to print. We will add 10 to 15 more drops this week in Campustown<\/strong> and at outlying C-U businesses, but that may<\/em> be it on the home front as we conserve copies for Danville, Bloomington<\/strong>, and Normal<\/strong> (save The Coffeehouse & Deli<\/strong>, which received a stack yesterday) as well as patrons of the New Art Film Festival<\/strong> and Roger Ebert\u2019s Film Festival<\/strong> in the spring!<\/p>\n

While you wander our post-Black Friday world, make sure to preview and purchase copies of The Art Theater: Playing Movies for 100 Years<\/strong><\/span> at the Art, Jane Addams, Cinema Gallery, the county archives at Urbana Free, and the Orpheum Children\u2019s Science Museum<\/strong> in downtown Champaign. Priced at a quite reasonable $25, this maiden literary voyage from<\/a> Champaign Urbana Theater History<\/strong> and authors Perry C. Morris, Joseph Muskin<\/strong>, and Audrey Wells<\/strong> is a great<\/em> gift for movie fans, history buffs, and supporters of the arts. Apart from designing the cover and interior, your editor also contributed \u2026 oh, but that<\/em> would be telling. Check out The Art Theater<\/span> for yourselves to see what exactly we mean!<\/p>\n

~ Jason Pankoke<\/p>\n

p.s.<\/em> Believe it or not, Ye Ed has already stumbled upon even more<\/em> local movie culture books in various stages of development. We\u2019ll spill the eventual specifics when we can!<\/p>\n

p.s.2<\/em> In the broader category of \u201cmovie culture merchandise,\u201d we happily remind you to support your local filmmakers early and often! This includes the back-to-back home video releases coming at us next week, first in the C-U and then Danville. Be sure to dig on the details when we deliver \u2018em!<\/p>\n
