Winter 2007 Movie Schedule
Here’s the movies we’re going to screen this Winter. The rule about always screening movies at least one of us has seen went completely out the window. Half of these were recommended by regular guests and will be fresh viewings for us. Come join us, it should be fun. Every Thursday, 9pm, free, BYO.
Jan 11: Assasination Tango – all Robert Duvall; with Argentinian food served by my housemates just back from Argentina
Jan 18: Dead Man – Jim Jarmusch directs, Johnny Depp stars, Neil Young scores; Western
Jan 25: Madisonfest: A Documentary – premier of Shawn Wernette’s documentary featuring one song by almost every single performer at last summer’s local music fest
Feb 1: Zardoz – ridiculous 1974 sci-fi drama featuring a young Sean Connery in heels
Feb 8: A Thousand Clowns – how can you argue with the tagline: “lift for the spirits, laughter for everyone”
Feb 15: Elevator to the Gallows – Louis Malle directs, Miles Davis scores
Feb 22: the Beaver Trilogy – no link; it’s best not knowing anything about this before you see it; an experience
Mar 1: The Falcon and the Snowman – young Hutton/Penn as real-life spies Boyce/Lee
Mar 8: Death and the Maiden – Polanski’s takek on Dorfman’s play about justice and revenge; riveting
Mar 15: the Idiots – Dogme #2; Lars Von Trier directs a social experiment of ‘idiots’
Please arrive on time and be respectful of our house and neighbors. Thanks.

What a GREAT idea! And double props for having the nards to show ZARDOZ (always wondered what it would look like on the relative big screen)! Will definitely be there for MADISONFEST and maybe for the others as well.

I stumbled on this site somehow and saw that you’ll be screening several awesome movies (like THE BEAVER TRILOGY, dear god!)… Are these screenings open to anyone? I’d definitely be interested in this and I know a close friend would be too…
I could bring a cake (if wanted)!

Erin- Our screenings are indeed open to anyone – and their friends. And you don’t even have to bring cake. We don’t always do food, that was special for the Argentinian-set movie last night because two of us just got back from Argentina. Anyway, hope to see you soon.

[...] And then there’s our house, which screens whatever the hell we feel like screening during 8-10-week programs each season, usually Thursdays 9pm. [...]
