Newsroll: Thursday ARTS edition

Why? Because I'm the performing and visual arts editor, that's why.

1. New museum in Denver. Opening soon, with an emphasis on the kiddies (who will, of course, grow up to become donors! Big donors! Let the private school kids in first!).

2. Oscar winners likely to be depressing. This is news?

3. Holy crap. Best. Sale. Ever.

4. Heads up, homophobic Singapore! Gandalf is after you. Hint: Change your ways. You know what happened to the Balrog, right?

5. Am I just weird? Also, if I read 300 books a year (say), how much does that mess with the average?

That reminds me, I went to see Stardust last night, and it was super. Don't miss it. Especially if you were a fan of Princess Bride.

The Unshelved strip today somehow seems apropos.
