NEW YORK – Thailand is among four countries and two territories which have won preliminary approval to have Internet addresses written entirely in their native scripts as early as July.

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: Ben Stiller from Between Two Ferns
I don't know why I love Zach Galifianakis so much but I think he's one hell of a funny guy.

I don't have the showtimes yet but I'll try to swing by on Thursday when it opens to get when it's showing and maybe we can grab a bite before or adjust the time as necessary. As far as a meeting place . . . right out in front of the main theatre
