The Name the Year of the Dog Contest
We're about to see the new Molly Shannon movie and we're very excited because a) its gonna be free and b) we miss Molly Shannon. We know nothing about this film except it was written by the dude who brought us School of Rock and The Good Girl. And judging from the web site, it looks like it's about dogs. Fine.
We'd like to share this excitement with you and the nice people from Year of the Dog have allowed us to give a pair of tickets away to a random LAist reader. All you have to do is name that dog up there in that picture and you might win.
Just put your real email address in the comment below when you name the pooch and on Thursday we will announce the winner. Deadline is Wednesday at 4:20pm. The winner can pick between a screening on 4/10 screening at the ArcLight, or a 4/12 screening at AMC Century City.
Year of the Dog opens in limited cities on 4/13.
