The Nugget Theatre in Telluride will show "The Hangover" and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" for the week of Friday, July 31- Thursday, August 6.
"The Hangover" is a Vegas bachelor party with a missing groom, a baby in a closet, etc. Rated R for the usual reasons. Go for entertainment, not the message.
My grandkids introduced me to Transformers years ago. But they had to manipulate the robots to change them into their various permutations. In "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" the transitions happen in real time. Expect to see a lot of twisted metal as robots war against robots. Your kids can explain it all to you. Rated PG for violence, sexual situations and language.
See the Nugget website for trailers and reviews. Showtimes are listed below.

Telluride's Ah Haa School for the Arts held its 17th Annual Art Auction Friday night, July 24. The natives turned out in force – and in costume – and the overall event was a colorful and smashing success. Ah Haa is still tallying...
Listen, Telluride: I understand dogs and cats, but frankly I find it tough to embrace this whole subject. Then again, I am a mere humanoid, not a cephalopod with a large head and tentacles, especially tentacles. And I am not Telluride's SquidShow Theatre company founder,...
On Friday, July 24, starting at 5 pm, Telluride's Ah Haa School for the Arts holds its 17th annual art auction. The fun-raiser is one of the biggest and best parties of the summer season. The theme, "Celebrate Art: Be the Artist You Want To Be," reminds us what the school is all about. "Ah Haa" is an interjection of success – but success can be defined in any number of ways.
Success to Alpine Bank, the title sponsor of the auction, is not just measured in terms of assets on hand. The institution, unique among banks, is all about sustainable growth and supporting non-profits such as Ah Haa that make a difference in the greater community. Success might be a sibling catching his brother or sister in a lie: "Ah Haa! gotcha." Success may be getting the punch line of a joke: "Ah Haa! I get it." Success may be seeing someone or something in an altogether different light.
Telluride's Ah Haa School for the Arts is community arts center and, from time to time, a place of celebrity. In years past, General Norman Schwarzkopf has shown up for the event, even contributed military paraphernalia and art work. Rumor has it the emcee of this year's event, tonight, July 24, 5 p.m., 300 South Townsend, is none other than Pop artist Andy Warhol, at one time the Michael Jackson of the art world. In the 1960s, it was Warhol who was running the company store when the art world began shedding its idealist trappings and started morphing into the Great American Art Industry. Overnight, Campbell's soup cans and Brillo became icons. Warhol is expected to be accompanied by an entourage.
Also on hand at this year's Ah Haa auction is actress and part-time local Susan Saint James, who created three major works of art in collaboration with painter/teacher Robert Weatherford. Joining her on the runway for the live auction, starting at 7 p.m., are the following artists/donors:
For Telluride local and board member, Ah Haa School for the Arts, Sally Simpson, it was simply a matter of connecting the dots.Born and raised in Lake Oswego, Oregon, Sally Simpson holds a BA in secondary art education and a masters degree in education from the University of Oregon. She taught art at the middle and high school level in the Oregon public school system for 12 years.
