Blaxploitation Rarities II - This Friday (March 30)
Hey Kids!
Just a reminder that Blaxpolitation Rarities II is happening this Friday, March 30th.
Doors open at 7pm, get there on time to get a good seat.
7:30pm - Black Shampoo [1976]: John Daniels (Candy Tangerine Man) plays Mr. Jonathan, a hairdresser as loved by the ladies as he is feared by the mob. When his new receptionist starts getting hassled by some mobsters, he takes matters into his own hands. With a chainsaw! Funny, fast & outrageous.
9:15pm - Savage! [1973]: Who cares what it's about, there's a big black dude named "Savage" with an all girl gang. And machine guns! Machine guns!
Admission: $5 - $10 (sliding scale)
And if you can't make it this month, here's what's in store for April & May:
April: Psych-Out!
BJ Lang Presents (The Manipulator): Mickey Rooney freaks out and kidnaps a woman so he can subject her to his "acting".
Can Hieronymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness: Writer-Director Anthony Newly also stars as Hieronymus Merkin, a Hollywood director having a massive midlife crisis who decides to make a film about his life and all the mistakes he's made. Self absorbed? You be the judge.
May: Shatner: The Early Years
Incubus [1965]: Satanic cult? Check. Shatner? Check. In Esperanto?! Check.
The Intruder [1962]: A young and sexy Shatner plays a charismatic racist in this Roger Corman pic.
Hope to see you there!

Evil Film School: Not This Friday!
Hey Kids,
So, because I am a goof, I did not realize that Blim had actually scheduled Evil Film School for Thursday November 30th, not the 24th as I had been advertising.
DO NOT GO TO BLIM THIS FRIDAY!!
Turkish Wizard of Oz will be happening on THURSDAY NOVEMBER 30th.
A big huge apology to anyone this might inconvenience.
Thank you,
~meeko

EFS After Party / Halloween Party!!
When: FRIDAY, Oct 27th
Where: Kat's place (18th & Columbia, address will be in the forum)
What: Halloween Party!
Aparently Kat's new place used to be quite notorious for their Halloween parties, so they've decided to resurect the tradition!
Times to follow, but it's a party so no one's gonna show up until after 9pm anyways. For those attending the Monster Mash, we'll all trundle our butts down after the movie.
Woo!

Fang in Cheek! Friday Aug 25th
Despite the attack of the nerds last month, I'm doing it again!
What: Fang in Cheek
Where: Blim (197 E. 17th @ Main)
When: Aug 25 (Fri)
Doors: 7pm
Admission: $5 - $10 Sliding Scale
7:30pm -- Sundown, The Vampire in Retreat [1991]: Count Dracula (David Carradine) thinks he's got it made after retiring to the Western town of Purgatory, a sort of Fort Lauderdale for vampires. They're all non violent and drink a blood substitute. Unfortunately, he didn't count on a bumbling descendant of Van Helsing (BRUCE CAMPBELL, yes, that Bruce Campbell) or a rogue band of vamps intent on returning to the old ways. Extremely goofy and silly, it's still a rather unique take on an old tale. And just think, Ash vs. Bill. That's gotta be worth something, right?
9:30pm -- Vampira (a.k.a. Old Dracula) [1974]: David Niven stars as the count, and Teresa Graves (a.k.a. TV's Christie Love) stars as his lady love Vampira after a faulty blood transfusion turns her black. No really. Tries to be sort of an English version of "Young Frankenstein", but doesn't quite live up. Worth a look if only for the unflappable Niven and of course a whole host of hotties including Graves and the lovely Jennie Linden.
As usual, beer & popcorn will be available

Summer Camp! -- July 28
Hey All,
Just a quick reminder that the next Evil Film School is happening next Friday (July 28th) @ Blim.
Doors: 8pm
Start: 8:15pm
First Film: Mooch Goes to Hollywood [1971] -- Very strange children's film co-written by Jim Backus about a lovable tramp named Mooch who comes to LaLaLand to become a star. Along the way she's helped by Zsa Zsa Gabor, Vincent Price and a whole host of Hollywood who's who (including a very creepy Mickey Rooney). Short & sweet (50 min running time), it's worth seeing if only for the scene where a 70+ Vincent Price runs along a beach with open arms towards the Benji-like Mooch.
Second Film: I Woke Up Early the Day I Died [1998] -- Dialogue free film based on a script by Ed Wood, starring Billy Zane & almost anyone else who was famous in the late 90's. Was a bit of a vanity project for Mr. Zane who allegedly sank his own money into the film, which has not really seen the light of day in America, save a few festival appearances shortly after it was made. The lack of dialogue and expressionistic acting lend it the feeling of a highly demented silent film and an awesome and omnipresent soundtrack ensure that the audience is always engaged. Note: Although there is no dialogue, this the occasional voice over or title card. Because the only source print is of German origin, these will be entirely in German with no subtitles.
Admission: $5 - $10
Popcorn & Beer (recommended) will be available from the bar.

Evil Film School: Good News/Bad News
Hi Kids,
So the good news is that there will be an Evil Film School tonight (June 30)!!
Doors: 7:30
Start: 8:00
Admission 10 - 5 sliding
Popcorn & beer will be available.
Now for the bad news: Turkish Wizard of Oz has not come in. Despite being ordered over a month ago, and several attempts to contact the supplier, it looks unlikely that I'll have it in time for tonight's screening. However, there is an alternate and it's almost as good:
Alyas Batman en Robin [1993] -- That's right, it's the Philipino Batman and Robin musical!! Charming and hilarious. In Filipino/Tagalog with a good smattering of nonsensical English.
There will still be a shorts program before the main event, so come early so you don't miss out.
See you there,
~meeko
