If you know me, you know a movie a day keeps the doctor away. As I anxiously await the arrival of Primetime, I’m filling the gap with Coyote vs. Acme. Has anyone seen it yet? I’ve heard it’s actually great. So you’ll know where I’ll be at least one night this week. Meep meep.

The others? Maybe Astoria for Date Night at the Museum of the Moving Image. We’re giving away admission for two, drinks, a flipbook souvenir, and the option to stay for an evening screening. That’s a Friday I can definitely get behind. Enter to win.*
