CRITICAL MASS WEEKEND OMNIBUS: Kick-Ass weekend

Courtesy of Lionsgate Hit Girl, from Kick-Ass, doing as the title tells her to. Friday: Get down with somebody else's bad self with a double dose of dance: The venerable Philadanco's celebrates a whopping 40 years, while the Bad Boys of Dance (who Emily Currier reviewed earlier today) go heavy on the pop soundtrack and pull from a litany of dance styles. Or go freaky deek with Philly filmmaker Danny Perez and the boys from Animal Collective as they present their short film Oddsac at International House. Saturday: Legendary punks the Feelies bring their decidedly buttoned up look to World Cafe's stage (and hopefully play "The Boy with the Perpetual Nervousness"). On Record Store Day, no less. But if you eschew music nerdom for chiseled bods, check out Mr. Gay Philadelphia, who will choose the prettiest twink or burliest bear from the bunch. Too bad Chelsea Handler's busy. Mama Omnibus bets she'd love it. Sunday: Feed your head with a whole host of readings and book signings at this year's Free Library Fest. Then destroy whatever brain cells you have left with the sheer mind-raping beauty of Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass. Seriously, screw Clash of the Titans. Blockbuster season starts now.
