Last Call for Free-B! We’re sad that the end of summer is here.

Grab your blankets this weekend, August 27 and 28, and don’t miss the final films of the best summer film series in the galaxy. This Friday and Saturday, 9pm, at Beacon Hill Park.

SteamBoy

On Friday, from director Katsuhiro Otomo (of AKIRA fame,) the steampunk-themed anime film from 2004, STEAMBOY, in which a boy inventor finds himself caught in the middle of a deadly conflict over a revolutionary advance in steam power.

Short Circuit

And on Saturday, it’s the 80′s Sci-Fi comedy favourite SHORT CIRCUIT. Join experimental robot Johnny 5, as he is electrocuted, suddenly becomes intelligent, and escapes from the lab.

Quote-Along The Big Lebowski September 17th

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude.  I’m sure you all do the usual for recreation: bowl, drive around, the occasional acid flashback, but that all changes on September 17th. I’m sure you’ve heard already, but here is another reminder to make sure you don’t accidentally double-book yourself. September 17th is the launching of the greatest film event of the Fall – the Quote-Along Classic Series, and we’re starting with the most quotable film of the last 20 years: The Big Lebowski.

We’ve got Solomon Seigel mixing up the Dude’s beverage of choice, the “Caucasian,” of course, plus there’s a costume contest, so get out that purple jumpsuit you’ve been waiting for an excuse to wear – it’s the perfect time.
