EGAD! MORE MOVIES!

Ahoy it's B.J. letting you all in on the mayhem (sitting in a dark room staring at the glowing box) going on in and around the Den of Sin for November and beyond.

This week (Tues. Nov. 4) we've programmed:

7pm (sharp for once): IT! The Terror From Beyond Space [1958] -- The original inspiration for the following film.

9:45pm @ Capitol 6 ALIEN: (sigh) The Director's Cut -- The classic on the big screen. We'll be making the trip by bus or cab if it proves more economic.

The following day (My day off! Wheee!) Meeko and I will be heading back to Capitol 6 for a 4:15 matinee of Matrix: Revolutions. Hopefully the many questions raised with the last will be answered (hopefully not answering too many) and I'm sure there'll be some nice gun-fu.

Next Week (Tues. Nov. 11) Robots & Toys!

7pm: Giant & Toys [1958] -- Japanese capitalism gone mad comedy and the dvd cover looked pretty cool.

9pm: War of the Robots [1978] -- Italian space epic made very shortly after Star Wars. "An embarrassing waste of film" says one anonymous IMDB poster. Bring your TA hat or booze.

Week after that (Tues. Nov. 18) A Tale Of Two Brides! Ronny Yu Double Bill!

7pm: The Bride With White Hair [1993] -- "A Classic Chinese Tale Of Swords And Sorcery Of Honor And Of Love" Yeah.

9pm: Bride of Chucky [1998] -- Chucky's Back and slashing through post-Kevin Williamson "horror" cliches reaching hilarious results. Umm yeah. I'm never becoming a copy writer.

Also this week we'll possibly be showing The Two Towers: Extended. All depends on agreements and whether I get paid on time.

The following week (Tues. Nov. 25) The Return of Canadian Horror Night!!!

7pm: Ginger Snaps [2000] -- Lycanthropy as puberty story. Well it's better than Peter Parker waking up in his own web fluid.

9pm: The Changeling [1980] -- Still considered quite scary today. George C. Scott moves into a haunted house after losing his family, zany antics ensue.

Finally Tues December 16 is the Lord Of The Rings marathon. That's Fellowship of the Ring: Extended, The Two Towers: Extended followed by Return of the King. I've already booked the day off and we'd love to have all you guys come with us. I'll bring the pee bucket. However there might be some organization to be done like which theatre (Capitol 6 or Metropolis)? Do we get tickets at the door same day or we use someone's credit card to get advance tickets, shit like that? Who's coming and who'll be first in line? And of course the mechanics of the pee bucket. Drop us a line Mariko's: filmgurl79@hotmail.com and B.J.'s beezlebozoclown@yahoo.com or guess we'll chat it up come Tuesday. Anywho it's late and I have more writing to do. Toodles.

p.s. Thanks to everyone who've come on our little Tuesday night shows. It's a highlight of our week and really wouldn't be as fun without you guys there. Thank you.
