The website is named after the 20th century American painter who was notorious for walking on top of and around canvases placed on the floor, dribbling and splattering paint so as to create a fanatical array of colors.

see 'Watchmen' for cheap
See 'Watchmen' for super cheap this Sunday at Hollywood Theaters. The showing is at 1:21:5 p.m. for just $3.
I wish some movies had return policies and I could get a quickie lobotomy and my money back if I was dissatisfied with my experience. Average movie ticket prices so far this year are $7.20, according to www.boxofficemojo.com. That makes those dollar-a-day movies at Redboxes look pretty nice.
This weekend, see a three-day-old movie for just $3. Watchmen comes out Friday, and Student Union Activities has rented out Hollywood Theaters, 3433 Iowa Street, on Sunday for a special viewing at 12:15 p.m.
You can buy the tickets at the SUA box office, level 4 of the Kansas Union, or the day of the show at the theater. It's $3 for students with a KUID, and $6 for everyone else.
Here's a synopsis courtesy www.imdb.com: "A group of heroes, forced into retirement a decade before, are called together once again to investigate the murder of one of their own. What they discover an age-old conspiracy to change the balance of power in a world not different from our own."
The movie is directed by Zach Snyder, who helmed 300 and the recent Dawn of the Dead remake, so I don't think an extensive knowledge of the comic book will be required. I do expect, though, some amazing visuals and action. At about 160 minutes, though, I hope my attention will not wane.
And even if the movie turns out to be a geek fest, $3 for a new movie won't be worth asking for a refund.
