OPENING NIGHT OF SOHO CINEMA, WORST MOVIE EVER and more...
Hi ,
Welcome to our 14th action-packed newsletter. Next week is our big Super 8 Cinema opening in Los Angeles. We're so excited about this and hope you'll join us!
So without further ado, let's get on with the show…
SOHO CINEMA CLUB - 08.16.24 Grand Opening!
Just one week to go. Next Friday, 16th Aug. 7.15pm 1089 N. OXFORD AVE., L.A., CA 90029. Celebrate the Grand Opening of our new bi-weekly Cinema, the SOHO CINEMA CLUB in the heart of Hollywood. All film, all Super 8mm, all old-school cinema-going fun!
Join us for our HORROR-THON of SUPER 8 Madness. A full show of Horror themed shorts and digest features from the 1970s incl. a 16 minute DAWN OF THE DEAD, PSYCHO and the rare R-rated cut of the Charles Manson film HELTER SKELTER. With special guests (doing an impromptu commentary!), and much more! Rare bizarre shorts (incl. the hysterical BAMBIE MEETS GODZILLA ...
...and Tim Burton's amazing short VINCENT), behind the scenes HAMMER HORROR featurette, insane 1970s commercials, oddball promos, retro-cinema openings and much more! All projected in glorious Super 8 film!
In the old days cinemas were also home to 'live' entertainment before and in between the classic films. At THE SOHO movie theater we're proud to present the live horror-themed mentalist, the INTERMISSION MAGICIAN! Be prepared to be stunned and amazed by his (we hope) awe-inspiring psychic powers from beyond! YIKES!!!!
Raffles, prizes, old-school usherettes, merch, special guests, neon-art, the best dressed cinema manager in town and the 'magic' of film projection!
This is 40 seat theatre. We've already sold half our allotted tickets, so it's advisable to purchase in advance.
1089 N. OXFORD AVE., L.A., CA 90029.

WORST MOVIE EVER MADE PODCAST
Check out our latest SOHO CINEMA CLUB podcast. Our team of cinephiles Miles Flanagan, Nick Chomicki and Jared Carlson sit through what may be the worst movie ever made, SLAPSTICK OF ANOTHER KIND. Or at least one of them. Starring an amazing ensemble of A-List comedy stars - Jerry Lewis, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Orson Welles and Jim Backus (to name but a few) - and based on the comic political novel "Slapstick" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., the question is "How could this movie possibly fail to be funny?"
Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert hated the film. Siskel proposed that film encyclopedias "ought to have an entry called Bad Movie and the illustration ought to be a still photo from Slapstick of Another Kind... The best thing that could ever happen to this film is that it never be shown anywhere." OUCH!!!
Our intrepid team watch the film so you don't have to. See what they have to say, find out more about the making of the film and discover whether or not this is truly cinematic garbage. And why. Enjoy!
NEXT MEETUP - 09.05.24
The next INDIE FILMMAKERS MEETUP will be Thursday Sept. 5th. at the BIGFOOT LODGE in Atwater Village. More details in our next newsletter. See you all then.
