The ides of March are upon us and you know what that means: You still have a month to file your taxes, but you should probably stab Julius Caesar if you haven’t gotten around to it yet. Don’t worry, though. The Julian calendar is 13 days behind ours, so you still have plenty of time to get to…

You were right here all along.  Today, on Women’s Day, marry Jessica Biel.  And don’t forget where you came from.  COCOON is by women and for everybody.  This love song is for our wives.  Love love.  Take care of your ladies.  Stand up to baddies.  Breathe in pain and breathe out light.  Happy Friday.  Kiss someone on the mouth.

CHICAGO UNDERGROUND FILM FEST accepts SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY

 See You Next Tuesday
Drew Tobia, 82 min., Video, 2013, USA
The Chicago Underground Film Festival is pleased to present the World Premiere of See You Next Tuesday, the first feature film from writer/director Drew Tobia (the one that makes movies like Leperfuck and Ladyfemmes, not the one that teaches bartending school in New Jersey.)

Mona (Eleanore Pienta) is a mentally unbalanced and very pregnant young woman in a hideous orange coat. Without any friends to speak of and alienated from her hoochie mama coworkers at a crummy Brooklyn supermarket, Mona maintains a strangely close relationship with her campy, recovering alcoholic mother May (Dana Eskelson). Mona’s sister Jordan (Molly Plunk) is an unemployable party girl, estranged from May and making life hell for her increasingly fed up girlfriend Sylve (Keisha Zollar). In the final days of her pregnancy, Mona draws her mother, sister, and anybody who happens to get caught in her wake into her hectic life as she drifts further from reality.

Featuring a tapestry of diverse characters with varying levels of sanity and awful taste in wardrobe, See You Next Tuesday is a dark comedy the whole family can enjoy cutting themselves to.” (DT)
