PLAYING THIS WEEK<\/strong>

MILESTONES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Birthday to<\/strong> \u2026 Tuesday, June 28:<\/em> Gladys Kephart<\/strong> (actress, ZACK AND THE MOUNTAIN MAN, Pens to Lens 2014) \u2026 Thursday, June 30:<\/em> Andrea Aarons<\/strong> (future cover model, C-U Confidential<\/span>) \u2026 celebrate!<\/p>\n

Passings<\/strong> \u2026 Thursday, June 16:<\/em> Trevor Alan Taylor, 34<\/strong> (employee, Boardman\u2019s Art Theatre\/crew member, WELCOME TO TOLONO, ACT YOUR AGE) \u2026 you will be missed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

20 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 June 14-27, 1996:<\/em> After celebrating a grand opening in March and establishing a business model of serving alcohol and pizza with second-run Hollywood<\/strong> fare, the operators of the Brew & View at the Thunderbird<\/strong> team with The Octopus<\/strong><\/span> alternative weekly to develop signature events. Their inaugural show, \u201cThe 1st Annual Octopus<\/span> Sci Fi Film Festival<\/strong>,\u201d presents several science fiction classics and favorites across a two-week summer stretch at Urbana\u2019s Thunderbird Theater<\/strong>, touted in its previous first-run era as having the largest movie screen in Champaign-Urbana<\/strong>. Selected by Octopus<\/span> publisher Paul Young<\/strong> with assistance from his staff, including future New Art Film Festival<\/strong> program director Jason Pankoke<\/strong>, the marathon pairs episodes from the 1940 serial incarnation of pulp hero \u201cThe Shadow<\/strong>\u201d with a choice roster: 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, ALIEN, BLADE RUNNER, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL<\/strong> (1951), DR. STRANGELOVE, INVADERS FROM MARS<\/strong> (1953), THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, THE ROAD WARRIOR, THE TERMINATOR<\/strong>, and THE WAR OF THE WORLDS<\/strong> (1953). All films are projected from 35 and 16 mm prints rented through various agencies from all over the United States<\/strong>. Similar shows of a more esoteric bent would follow the well-received \u201cSci Fi\u201d experience over the next year, ceasing in mid-1997 after the Brew & View\u2019s closure.<\/p>\n

FLICKER OF THE WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the spirit of our Confidential Almanac<\/strong> entry above, we shine the \u201cFOW<\/strong>\u201d seal into the night skies above the Art Theater Co-op<\/strong> to mark the not-very-secret location of \u201cBig Screen Noir<\/strong>,\u201d a new retrospect series beginning on Fri., 7\/1<\/strong>. Six vintage and contemporary hallmarks in the genre will provide audiences a sampling of the storytelling form over a two month period: THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI<\/strong> (starting 7\/1<\/strong>) with Rita Hayworth<\/strong> and Orson Welles<\/strong>, the latter directing; THE KILLING<\/strong> (1956; starting 7\/8<\/strong>) with Sterling Hayden<\/strong> and directed by Stanley Kubrick<\/strong>; CAPE FEAR<\/strong> (1962; starting 7\/28<\/strong>) with Robert Mitchum<\/strong> and directed by J. Lee Thompson<\/strong>; KISS ME DEADLY<\/strong> (1955; starting 8\/5<\/strong>) starring Ralph Meeker<\/strong> and directed by Robert Aldrich<\/strong>; DOG DAY AFTERNOON<\/strong> (starting 8\/26<\/strong>) with Al Pacino<\/strong> and directed by Sidney Lumet<\/strong>; and THE BIG LEBOWSKI<\/strong> (starting 9\/2<\/strong>) with Jeff Bridges<\/strong> and directed by Joel Coen<\/strong>. The Art is offering a $36 festival pass exclusively through their Web site<\/span> that will save you $2 per film ticket as well as award the bearer a free small popcorn at each show. If you have ever picked up our C-U Confidential<\/strong><\/span> digest, you know<\/em> we are fans of this milieu and pretty much fated to recommend it!<\/p>\n
