Friday Jun 11 2010 GIVEAWAY | Tickets to Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work @ The IFC Center

Friday, June 11, 2010 at 1:58PM The Apiary is giving away 2 pairs of passes to the IFC Center in New York to see Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, a film that everyone is calling "good" and other nice adjectives. The documentary opens today in select cities and rolls out to more indie theaters next week. Take a look:

> A probing, hilarious and revealing portrait, this Sundance hit follows legendary comedian and pop icon Joan Rivers as she fights tooth and manicured nail to keep her American dream alive. At 76, Joan is still the hardest-working woman in show business, a consummate pro and tireless performer. She’s done it all, and as the film follows her over a year, from downtown standup clubs and Midwest casino gigs to Celebrity Apprentice and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, it’s clear she’s not done yet.

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work

HOW TO BE A WINNER

1) Put "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work Tickets" in the subject line of an email addressed to theapiary@gmail.com.

2) Send that email before SUNDAY @ MIDNIGHT (6/13)

3) If you win, tell your friends via your blog or FB status update that The Apiary made you a winner -- it's that easy!

Two winners will be selected at random to receive a pair of passes--you'll be notified on Monday if you're one of them. Passes are good for any screening of the film next week at the IFC Center in New York. You must live in NY to enter.

The Comedians magazine calls Myq Kaplan "a comedy machine, in the best possible way. The way that some machines vend soda or prevent other machines from killing future revolutionaries... that's how Myq Kaplan does comedy: relentlessly, methodically, unblinkingly." Myq recently made his television debut on The Tonight Show and won The Emerging Comic Award at this year's ECNY Awards. His half-hour Comedy Central Presents special airs TONIGHT at 11:30 PM.

According to his bio, "Myq enjoys words, social justice, Netflix, and comic books. Also non-comic books, ping-pong, and being great with women. And grammar and run-on sentence fragments. And of course, being hilarious to his demographic, which is anyone who might know the word demographic."

> From the time of the long ago past arrives "Krod Mandoon and The Flaming Sword of Fire," COMEDY CENTRAL's epic live-action series chronicling the adventures of Krod Mandoon (Sean Maguire) and his hopelessly futile band of warriors as they take on the evil Chancellor Dongalor (Matt Lucas). "Krod Mandoon and The Flaming Sword of Fire" special BBC edition DVD is extended and uncensored and arrived in stores nationwide on Tuesday, March 23 and is also available at http://shop.comedycentral.com.

Krod is a character-driven workplace comedy set in an ancient realm. The series follows reluctant hero, Krod Mandoon , a thin-skinned and underconfident freedom fighter, who is the last great hope in the struggle against the evil ruler, Chancellor Dongalor. To help fight the good fight, Krod has assembled a band of loyal, but remarkably ineffective freedom fighters: Aneka, the beautiful Pagan warrioress whose weapon of choice is sex; Zezelryck, the young warlock whose greatest magical gift is spinning B.S.; Loquasto, Krod 's oafish half human/half swine servant; and Bruce, who's fierce and proud. Together, they must overcome a myriad of evil obstacles in their quest to save the world, including name-calling, hired assassins and a bisexual Cyclops (or biclops).

Friday, February 19, 2010 at 4:02PM

SPLINTERHEADS is now available on DVD! Go towww.splinterheads.com -- Once you're there, you can click the BUY IT NOW BUTTON to totally buy it for the low price of $19.99. (Or I guess you can try to win it here.) Anyways, Splinterheadsis a comedy directed by Brant Sersen (Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story), starring Thomas Middleditch, Rachael Taylor, Christopher McDonald, Jason Mantzoukas, Lennon Parham and Dean Winters.

> SPLINTERHEADS introduces Thomas Middleditch as Justin Frost, a twenty-something slacker who has decided that his "thing" is that he has no "thing" at all. When a small-time carnival rolls into town, he meets Galaxy (Rachael Taylor), a gorgeous con artist who has more “things” going for her than anyone he has ever met. Galaxy takes Justin on a geocaching adventure, a GPS based activity that is part hike and part treasure hunt, and he quickly falls for her. Complicating matters are his mom’s (Lea Thompson) floundering relationship with a lovesick local cop (Christopher McDonald) and Galaxy’s insanely jealous boyfriend Reggie (Dean Winters). In order to win her over he’s going to need to step up his game, and maybe even figure out what his "thing" really is.
