Black Death

After the extremely popular run of Game of Thrones, we thought we'd follow that with one more week of Sean Bean, in the recent film Black Death.

The Lamb will be dark on the 20th as I'm off to Comic Con, and in the mean time we'll begin plotting for our next series, which is scheduled to start on the 27th.

You Win or You Die - A Game of Thrones

Now that we've wrapped up the first season of Justified (another SLC favorite), it's time to schedule our next Wednesday night series.

We've chosen to screen Game of Thrones, the new HBO series based on the novels of George R.R. Martin. We look forward to seeing if it's as good as the reviews seem to indicate. 

Wednesdays at The Slaughtered Lamb Cinema starting June 8th.

Wednesday Nights are Justified

We wrapped up our successful run of Sports Night last week, and tonight started Justified. Based on characters created by Elmore Leonard and starring the great Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood, The Crazies), it looks like were in for a fun next several weeks.

As for what's next... time will tell...

The first Wednesday Series of 2011 - Sports Night!

The same selection committee that brought you Freaks & Geeks in 2010 has decided on our first pick for the New Year.

Sports Night is an Aaron Sorkin comedy ran for two seasons from 1998-2000, and starred Felicity Huffman (Despearate Housewives), Peter Krause (Six Feet Under), Josh Charles (The Good Wife), Sabrina Lloyd (Numb3rs) and the great Robert Guillaume (Benson).

If you're concerned that you couldn't possibly be interested because you're not a sports fan, fear not. This is a show about characters, and while yes, they live in and around the world of sports, knowledge or interest in such is not a requirement to enjoy this excellent series.

As the commercial-free episodes run a scant 20-odd minutes, we expect to be able to burn through a good chunk each night. We're anticipating a 6-8 week run for the series depending on the number watched nightly.

We hope to see you on Wednesdays!
