Russ Meyer Triple feature!

Some of my film programmer friends have been asking how on earth we got those Russ Meyer prints (um... I called RM Films... they were nice). From what I can tell, most of the films haven't played rep houses in L.A. for seven or eight years--so when it worked out that I could show as many as I wanted, I found myself just wishing we had the timeslots to show more, more, more! That's why this Friday, we're kicking off our Meyer fest by cramming three of 'em into one overstuffed night: The Bosom Buddies Triple Feature!

Besides, what better way to celebrate the friendship between Roger Ebert and Russ Meyer, than a night of cinematic excess. These were men of appetites. When Meyer first took Ebert to dinner at Musso & Frank's, Ebert tried to order fish-he was gonna lose some weight while taking a break from journalism. Meyer forbid it: "when you're working for me you're gonna eat well, because you have to have your energy." Then he ordered Ebert lamb chops and a baked potato. I'm sure that was just the beginning.

So for those of you who think THREE Russ Meyer movies in one night is too much--man up! Or woman up! But not just UP!, even though Kitten Natividad is gonna be there in person. I want to see you guys there the whole night, stumbling out drunk with a triple D on all those great movies.

One last thing. The "Members Only" screening, originally scheduled for this Monday, is being pushed back a bit, because I'm waiting for a particularly awesome print to show. This is a film that has not been screened in decades, and unless something significant shifts in the world, won't be screened for decades to come...except here. If you want me to tell you what it is, you'll have to learn the secret handshake, or maybe just ask personally.

Your programmer,

Hadrian
