Considering that it is going to be generally miserable outside tonight, we suggest that you stay indoors and take advantage of your Time Warner Cable box by Video-on-Demanding Lovers of Hate, the Sundance and SXSW 2010 darling by local filmmaker Bryan Poyser. This evening is your final chance to have this film at your fingertips in your very own living room and we don't want you to miss out on seeing a film the New York Times called "viciously amusing." If you need a primer, you can read the interview we did with Poyser here and you can check VOD availability in your area here. Lovers of Hate will be stopping by the Alamo Drafthouse again sometime in June, but you probably won't have the added luxury of sporting just underwear to any of those screenings (actually, we're not sure if the Alamo has a dress code, but just in case, we suggest you get your underwear-only-Lovers-of-Hate-viewing out of the way now). more ›
