UPDATE: NOW WITH MORE REASONS TO GO!
Well, the "special guest" I had wondered about has been revealed: JOHN CARPENTER HIMSELF. He will be there on the 13th and 14th (there is a basketball game on the 15th, so no chance in hell he'll be there). Even better (in a reverse sort of way), Saturday night's screenings of Escape from NY/LA will have a director Q&A in between, moderated by none other than... ME!
I'm not joking. I'm gonna moderate... for John... Carpenter. Creator of the greatest film of all time.
So come on down and watch the films, and don't forget to read whatever Saturday's review is, because it will probably be the last as I am sure to die of a heart attack immediately following the Q&A.

My good friend Garo just sent this my way... all at the Aero theater in Santa Monica:
Friday, June 13
7:30 PM THE THING & THE FOG
Saturday, June 14
7:30 PM ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK & ESCAPE FROM L.A.
Sunday, June 15
7:30 PM HALLOWEEN & CHRISTINE
Wednesday, June 18
7:30 PM BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA & ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13
HOLY FUCKING SHIT. No word on special guests, but I am guessing that if they are showing his best stuff all in a row (no They Live or Prince of Darkness tho?), there's gotta be a reason...
