Not So Silent Films

All the cook kids are saying it, The Silent Film Theater is quickly becoming one of the coolest places in LA to check out.
After the shooting from a couple years ago, the theater was bought, renovated and now shows more than just silent films, but caters to the cult, experimental, and avant-garde as well. Monthy series' from Toho monster classics to Cults--these ones are actually about famous cults--makes the place unique and awesome.
Loveseats line the first two rows, and the rest of the theater chars have a pillow on every seat. They even serve up gourmet cupcakes ($4).

I feel like shamelessly promoting the Friday matinée series this month of Jan Svenkmayer. Czech puppeteer and New Wave film maker, Jan's shit will blow your mind. His version of Alice in Wonderland entitled Alice will trip you out kids.
check it out!


(try watching the film with the American Beauty Soundtrack in the background)
and although earlier this week I caught the films of the dude who created blue screen technology and cant compose a film to save his life ( i was pretty tempted to walk out), it was still greatly amusing.

but imagine this movie with no volume and with a 9 piece psychedelic folk band. (i recommend going to about minute 5 of the clip)


check it out...
