Summer Film Guide 2007 Thin LineThis summer’s all about the sequels to sequels (unlike last summer, which was riddled with … sequels). Find out where all these part threes were filmed, including a couple in good ol’ New Mexico. That nasty "most e-mailed" list on papers' websites strengthens the media-as-business link, turning news reporting into a popularity contest. Their Turn Albuquerque's under-21 population give the Council a what-for in an attempt to salvage the budget for an all-ages, city-run venue in the old Ice House building. Spotlight Val Kilmer and local musicians pitch in on a Farmington native's meth documentary. The filmmaker’s also got some good advice for musicians looking for work in the blooming flick industry. FOTW: Space, Maybe? So much to do! So many flyers! Dig through this week's music section for four real beauties. Don't forget to submit yours before your show at alibi.com.
The hard science of divination mixes with stern alcoholic practicality: Experts tell you what kind of person you are, deep down inside, based on your beverage choices. Film News With Hollywood making its way to our corner of the desert Southwest, some unlikely local businesses are chowing down on hunks of that financial boon.   Raw posts and updates from our writers with info too timely or uncategorizable for print. What, we said something stupid? Chime in, buddy.Webgame Wednesday:The Great Gatsby This has been around for a while, but with Baz Luhrmann's 3D version of The Great Gatsby doing gangbusters at the box office, it seems like a fine time to revisit the (faux) NES version of The Great Gatsby. This straight-faced, side-scrolling brawler take on F. Scott Fitzgerald's seminal Jazz Age novel is fun, fitting and proof positive that Luhrmann isn't the only guy around screwing with the classics. Add a Comment The Daily Word in shady dentistry, bear bile and riding a Ferris wheel for way too long New Mexico's at the top of the list! Of worst droughts in the country! And pumping water out of the ground just isn't working like it used to. "El Dentista," an unlicensed dentist in Santa Fe who performed his "services" out of a van, left a trail of mouth infections and unnecessarily removed teeth in his wake. The New Mexico Department of Health is offering free counseling, blood testing and referrals to his victims. But remember, it could be worse. Developers in Oklahoma are resistant to the idea of including tornado shelters in their homes because it costs too much money. Sad trombone. Clinton Shepherd of Chicago just finished riding a Ferris wheel for two days straight. "I was thrilled and honored to be able to have all the love and support I did," Shepherd said. And it turns out that increasing demand for bear bile (used in a nonsense "home-remedy") is really bad for bears.
