Earlier this week, I devised a plan for a film festival that you can participate in from the comfort of your own couch. I asked for recommendations and received a number via Twitter. Over the past day I put together a schedule for those who would like to participate.

I’ll be on Twitter (@The_Dean) adding commentary and seeing what you have to say (use #DUFF to join the conversation). Join for some or all of the films.
Here is the list of films and their start times:

My lust for interactive pixel-crafted stories began at an early age. Sunday mornings – before church of course – were spent preventing alien ships from touching down, no matter how fast they moved as their fleet was destroyed. My Commodore 128 taught me about text-based games and to always carry some form of light when entering a dark area.

My first year of college I spent more time sacking the quarterback in Super Tecmo Bowl than attending class.
I love live music. Whether it be heading into a dark bar or catching it outside on a beautiful summer day, a good concert can’t be beat. What’s better than a free concert featuring national acts? Not much that I can think of, unless they provide free drinks as well. While the second part might only be a dream, here are two opportunities locally to enjoy free music.
Tomorrow the film “Whip it” opens in theaters across the state and country. This indy film has received quite a buzz over the past couple weeks. Not so much because it is directorial debut of Drew Barrymore. Also not due to my favorite actress Ellen Page being the star of the film.
After a week of speculation, General Motors filed for Bankruptcy this morning. The American automaker was $172.8 billion in debt with roughly $82 billion in assets.
