The first thing I did when I walked out of the theater after seeing THE SCHOOL OF ROCK (well, besides standing in line to use a urinal, but that’s a given) was look for the movie poster to find out what the movie was rated…

This past weekend was a virtual cornucopia for MCFTR goodness, with me attending a theatrical showing of THE BIG LEBOWSKI on Friday night and lots of fun at Dragon*Con on Saturday. Sunday night, however, I got to enjoy Drive InVasion at the Starlight Drive In in East Atlanta…
