Students at Central Michigan University can study a wide assortment of apocalyptic scenarios – including a zombie uprising – in a new class about the hypothetical end of the world, titled From Revelation to "The Walking Dead." According to the online description, the course – which examines the apocalypse in literature, art, entertainment, religion and philosophy – was introduced by Philosophy & Religion teacher Kelly Murphy (pictured below), a self-professed fan of AMC's The Walking Dead. The curriculum will include clips from that series as well as from movies like Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later, and students will discuss “hypothetical ethical and theological problems that people could encounter in a post-apocalyptic world.” “The prevalence of apocalyptic stories in various media gives us a window into what people are worrying about, what they hope for and how they imagine they would react in the face of a cataclysmic event," says Murphy in the course summary.

Las Vegas residents will no longer have to wait until Pride or Cine Kink, or even for Hollywood to see a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender-themed flick.
Hailed as the world’s largest gay nightclub, Krave Massive will gain a new addition this spring, a Lgbt movie theater, reports Las Vegas City Life. Named after its sponsor and studio, Guest House Theatres at Krave Massive (which is located in downtown Las Vegas) will feature new and repertory gay titles Wednesdays through Saturdays, along with occasional screenings featuring filmmakers and cast members.
“This is an exciting opportunity not only for Las Vegas moviegoers to see a wide variety of Lgbt films on the big screen, but also for filmmakers to secure a theatrical screening for their work and reach a new audience outside of the traditional film festival circuit,” Guest House Films co-founder Rob Williams is quoted by Queerty as saying.
