PARANOIA Screening Moved to July 30th

Thanks to some emergency issues we're dealing with, our 35mm screening of UMBERTO LENZI's PARANOIA (ORGASMO) has been postponed. We were originally scheduled to screen the film June 25th at the Angelika but we're moving the date to July which will allow us to ramp up the hype. Don't forget to tell your friends, this CINEMANIA screening will be $5!!! There is really no reason not to come out and see this rare print -- NOT ON DVD.

We don't have the July date set in stone yet but it'll probably be toward the end of the month. Stay tuned!

UPDATE

The show has been scheduled for July 30th at the Angelika Mockingbird Station, Dallas, TX. Tickets $5 at the door. Classic Italian sleazoid-thriller. Don't miss it.

SHOGUN ASSASSIN and New Tickets Prices COMING SOON!!!

Come out to the Angelika Film Center on Mockingbird in Dallas this Thursday for a 35mm screening of SHOGUN ASSASSIN (1980). Tickets are $10. The show kicks off at 8pm with a selection of vintage, exploitation trailers.

Our screening of PARANOIA on June 25th will introduce a new pricing structure for Dallas Cinemania. We are going to offer two-for-one tickets...oh hell, maybe we'll just make them $5...anyway, we feel your pain and want to give you a break -- a great price for a great film. Get off the street and into the Angelika Thursday, June 25th for Umberto Lenzi's PARANOIA (1969), aka ORGASMO, starring Carroll Baker and Lou Castel. Tickets are $5!!!

ONE-EYED JACKS Handout

Due to a clerical error (read: I f'ed up), we didn't get a chance to hand out our usual pamplets with the tickets last night at the screening of ONE-EYED JACKS. Well, instead of just wasting the opportunity, I thought the least I could do was post a downloadable PDF of it for you to peruse.

Special thanks to Rick Worland for his excellent intro to the film. I got a lot of good feedback from that.

We also had the most technical problems ever experienced at a DC screening last night...so thanks to everybody for sticking around and enjoying the film.

See you May 21st at SHOGUN ASSASSIN!

This Thurs. ONE-EYED JACKS (1961)

Just a reminder about this week's screening, Marlon Brando's directorial debut (and the only film the actor helmed) 1961's ONE-EYED JACKS. We've sourced an IB Tech 35mm print of this baby and we promise it's gonna be special.

When we first started making the short list for films we wanted to show on the big screen, OEJ was at the top. I personally couldn't believe our luck when we landed this one. It's suffered in the public domain due to it's sketchy legal status. Most of the $1.99 DVDs you can find of this are sourced from a decade plus old Paramount laserdisc and they're rather underwhelming to say the least. We've got some indications that a new HD version might be making the rounds soon -- no promises -- but this will probably be the very last time you'll get to see it on the big screen. Come out to the Angelika Film Center and witness history -- Thurs, April 23rd. DJ Mr. Rid kicks things off around 7:30pm. Tickets are $10 at the door.

DJ Mr. Rid

Our special ONE-EYED JACKS feature will be extra special with the addition of DJ extraordinaire DEEJAY MR. RID. Yeah, some of you guys might know him as a member of Lithium Xmas...certain hipsters will even note his appearance in Ron Howard's COTTON CANDY...but if you're smart -- like us -- you'll know him as the dude with the badass record collection. He's even got a 7" of the Theme from ONE-EYED JACKS...and he says he's gonna play it!!! Get to the Angelika a little early on April 23rd...I'd say around 7:20pm...to experience DEEJAY MR. RID's soundz in the flesh before the film. We also got SMU prof. Rick Worland to come out and school ya about OEJ. This is gonna be big, y'all. This is the last time you'll see this on the big screen so come one, come all out to the Angelika Thurs, April 23rd.

Bee Girls Thank You

This is what it's all about, folks. Seeing all y'all in the seats at the screening of INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS was enough to give us fits. What that film lacked in footage it made up for in depth, charm and social commentary (thanks Ethan for the tip).

Anyway, I personally -- the humble webmaster -- must thank each and every one of you attendees for coming out. Yeah the weather was nice and you could've been getting your drink on somewhere else but you came out and let us know you're there. That makes me want to put on another movie, by gum. -- Peace.
