NEW YORK - HEAVY METAL IN BAGHDAD IN THEATERS

Holy shit, at the end of this week Heavy Metal in Baghdad becomes an actual movie. Like the kind you go to see at a theater after getting stoned at the edge of the parking lot and is also playing a bunch of crap like Iron Man and Ghost. OK, not quite that much of a movie, but movie enough for us. Movie enough to make us proud. Friday, the feature-length version of Vice/VBS's five-year-long investigation into the lives of Iraq's best metal band begins a limited theatrical release in New York and LA. Click here for the details, and for all of you who live somewhere bogus like Austin or Seattle, for once you're in luck. Tomorrow night and this weekend we are hosting screenings in each of these cultureless cesspools. You're welcome.
