How was everybody's 4th of July? If you're reading this, it means your eyes were safe from stray fireworks, so it must have been a great weekend! Last week was a short one here at Ruby Hornet, considering the holiday weekend, but we have everything compiled here in case you missed anything! Some highlights from the week include the Supreme Court's bullshit ruling on "religious freedom" for Hobby Lobby, the Fun Fun Fun Fest 9 Comedy lineup announcement, Lollapalooza's "Lolla Cash" initiative, reviews of Particle Fever and Earth to Echo, the first glimpse of Superman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and lost photos from World War II's The Battle of the Bulge.
The Weekly Swarm: 6/23 - 6/29
How was everybody's final full week of June? We covered a wide range of topics this week, including Chicago's successful bid for George Lucas's Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, a recap of the first No Color event at Insit Studios, the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trailer, reviews for both Transformers: Age of Extinction and Happy Christmas, pointers on how to prepare writing your first screenplay, Pacific Rim 2's confirmation, a fun photo project for real-life emojis, and much more.

Finally, Saturday marked the first official day of summer. However, Chicagoans know that the weather we've been experiencing has been anything but. If the forecast holds up, this last week of June will feel much more like late spring than early summer. I hope you all have your rain boots ready. Luckily, we have the World Cup to look forward to. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of soccer/futbol in the slightest, but I've found myself swept up in all the hype that surrounds the U.S. team this year. After last night's last-minute tie, it's like the team was preparing to heighten the drama going forward. Granted, I don't think the U.S. has enough to go all the way, but they can at least make things exciting over the next week.
Anyways, you can check out all of the content Ruby Hornet put out last week below, including our contest for a free Blu-ray copy of The Lego Movie, news on the looming sale of firearms in Chicago, YouTube's asinine policy on independent music videos, word on Harrison Ford's injury on the set of Star Wars Episode VII, Rian Johnson's hiring as the writer/director of Star Wars Episode VIII, Alex Katz' interview and review for Coherence, an amazing photo set from Brazil outside of the World Cup craziness, and Angela Mejia's photos and Mackenzie O'Brien's recap from The Orwells' show last week.
The Weekly Swarm: 6/9 - 6/15
