Here’s the deal:

Come see the theatrical release of Commercial inflatable water slides for sale ALONG FOR THE RIDE, the new documentary about Hollywood maverick, Dennis Hopper, accompanied by: BLUE VELVET and TRUE ROMANCE, a pair of classics that feature some of Hopper’s most famous, and perhaps greatest, performances; Michael Almereyda’s short A HERO OF OUR TIME, a rarely screened gem in which Hopper starred during a break in the filming of Blue Velvet; Hopper’s punk masterpiece, OUT OF THE BLUE; and a program of shorts by his longtime friend, collaborator, and influence — artist and experimental filmmaker, BRUCE CONNER. If you don’t fall deeply in love with Hopper throughout this, it is because you were already hooked. Show up early and enjoy a Roxie-produced Hopper-clips show!

Get tix!

Get your tickets (and read more about this special event) here. (King of Comedy is that Scorsese movie you’ve never seen, Three Women is that Altman movie you’ve never seen, etc., etc.)

Ingrid Goes West btw was great. We saw a sneak preview last week and I say it’s an instant classic, definitely worthy of a month of special programming to celebrate its release. Read all about it and get tickets here.

At the Alamo‘s Terror Tuesday (every Tuesday night, late, cheap) of course! Get your tickets here.

Monday night only at the Alamo. Here’s the rest of the very intriguing blurb:

Thirty minutes of chains, bats, guns, blood, drugs, gangsters, rollergirls, and an original soundtrack from post-punk/industrial legend Patrick Miller of Minimal Man. The story of the making of RACKTOWN, USA has to be heard to be believed – and lucky enough, we’ll have the guys who made it on hand to reminsice about shooting in grindhouses, bribing cops, and other things we can’t even mention here! We said they bribed cops and there’s STILL stuff we can’t mention in writing! Don’t miss this!

Get tickets here.

And this Thursday night, the Tenderloin Museum is hosting a double feature at the Roxie (in the Mission) all about it:

On March 9th, 2017, Tenderloin Museum will host a double feature screening of Gay San Francisco (1965-1970, 30 mins) by Jonathan Raymond, and Meat Rack by Michael Thomas (1970, 70 mins) at the Roxie Theater. Gay San Francisco is a previously lost documentary, and Meat Rack is an underground film with a modern arthouse cult following. Both films depict the early queer movements in the Tenderloin, unveiling the district as the first gay neighborhood in San Francisco. Meat Rack director Michael Thomas in attendance!

A splendid holiday gift for the Missionite cinephile in your life. Available at the Roxie or via their website here.

(Made with help from the folks at PSA Press, makers of many other SF-themed enamel pins including a New Mission Theater marquee, some It’s-Its, the “Electric Skateboarding Is A Crime” pin, a very creepy Zodiac Killer, the classic Jimmy the Cornman, and a Doggie Diner head.)

(Also the “San Francisco Pin & Patch Pop-Up” is this Saturday afternoon at Mission Comics.)

No big red bus lane!

Local animator David Enos just finished this great short film about some young people having a party:

In addition to screening big blockbusters like Finding Dory and indie darlings like the Lobster, our new neighborhood movie theater the Alamo Drafthouse also gets wacky and wild every Tuesday and Wednesday night:

This week’s Terror Tuesday is Evil Dead at 9:30pm.

This week’s Weird Wednesday is Skatetown USA at 10pm.

Read our review of Skatetown USA from a few years back when we saw it at the Roxie.

1. LA DOLCE VITA! Saturday afternoon at the Alamo Drafthouse, as part of Negroni Week 2016!
2. PITCH PERFECT! Saturday night in Dolores Park, as part of this year’s Film Night in the Park programming!

Our pal Mike Keegan (the man who runs the formerly abandoned New Mission Theater down the way) stumbled upon an open door on his way to work today:

Construction crew said they were scoping out plaster removal, so I have zero idea what’s actually going on in there in the coming weeks/months/years, but the FOR SALE sign is off the marquee, as is that “coming soon: mission cinema school” banner.

And on the big (huge) main screen at the Alamo, in 35mm!! The screening is tonight at 10:10pm, one time only, and there are still some great seats left!

It’s a road movie, from the very early ’70s, and I think it’s best if you don’t know any more than that. Just go see it!
