our "Ladies

the
Eighties" extravaganza

Whoopi
Goldberg's
raunchiest
(and
funniest)
film
of
her
career. Hot
off
her
awards
for
THE
COLOR
PURPLE
(1985),
Whoopi
perfectly
executes her
filthy
wit
while
Penny
Marshall
(in
her
directorial
debut)
keeps this
R-rated
comic-romp
pumping!
Improper,
outrageous
and
down-right
hilarious,
come
celebrate
one of
the
80s
most
important
comedians.

Aidan
Quinn & Anne
Carlisle
 Roberta
(Rosanna
Arquette)
is a
disenchanted
housewife
who
becomes
obsessed
with
a stranger's
personal
ad in
the
newspaper.
As she
fantasizes
about
who
the
mystery
woman
is,
this
imaginative
New
Wave
comedy
packs
a surprising
post-punk
punch,
showcasing
a ton
of NYC
underground
icons
from
John
Lurie
to Richard
Hell.
Seidelman's
follow
up to
her
seminal
punk
debut
feature
THE
SMITHEREENS
(1982),
helped
make
Madonna
a genuine
star
while
creating
a quintessential
kick-ass,
female
empowered
couple,
years
before
THELMA & LOUISE
(1991).
This
movie
has
true
cinematic
magic
and
you
don't
want
to miss
it in
the
country's
most
magical
movie
theatre.
Preceded
by trailers
for
upcoming
M4M
events.

 Watching
obscure
cinema
is one
of the
main reasons
for living
and this
truly underground
No-Wave,
neon-gem
is at the
top of
the list.
This slice
of NYC's
early 80s
follows
an Alien
(played
by the
eccentric
Anne Carlisle)
as she
fights
from getting
swallowed
up in the
mediocrity
of the
human race.
The soundtrack
which utilized
the expensive
Synclavier
synthesizer
(used by
Michael
Jackson
circa Thriller)
is seriously
one of
the most
memorable
yet minimalist
soundtracks
ever programmed,
while the
visionary
hyper-stylized
sets and
costumes
are the
stuff that
only acid-induced
dreams
are made
of. As
if that
weren't
enough,
both the
Costume/Production
Designer
and the
Cinematographer
will be
here IN
PERSON
with the
only existing
35mm print
to host
this special
event.
Spare yourself
the lifelong,
daily agony
of knowing
you missed
this; BUY
YOUR TIX
NOW (available
at www.ticketweb.com
or at the
Castro
Box Office).
35mm, 112min.
Plus,
tons
of
trivia
and
giveaways!
Miss this
night… and
cry!
