Yesterday we posted the 2012 Screen on the Green schedule, but instead of inspiring you all to get up and dance it elicited a chorus of “meh.”

As mentioned in the comments, there are quite a few other outdoor movie series in the area this summer (like in summers past) that may be more likely to inspire you to head outside despite the humidity and bugs and catch a film under the stars.

Some of these series began back in May, others in June, so this post is a bit belated, but there are still many films to come.
