Film Farm presents "DRIVE-OUT THEATER" (3/6)

1.21.08 - "SUPERHERO SKATING"

DRIVE-OUT THEATER (3/6) presents

BRUTALLO'S FAIRY TALE FAVORITES (switched-on grimm version, 2007) and
SPACEDISCO-ONE (Damon Packard, 2007).



FROM THE ASK Dr. HAL WEBSITE: But– what’s going on on Monday nights these days? Pilgrim, I’ll tell you. It’s an amazing event, KrOB’s Film Farm. It’s KrOB showing his movies and edits. It’s free popcorn. It’s KrOB’s patented eyenoise™ and all that goes with it. You get on the bus, you pay $10.00 but that’s to defray the cost of fuel, mainly. Because the bus will be in motion. Each time that old bus will trundle off to a delightful pre-picked secret destination, and en route, while the bus rumbles along with Chicken at the wheel, two projectors will simultaneously present KrOB’s show. Leave the driving to Chicken, the show to KrOB.



Thanks for the plug, Hal.

Say, did you know that northern california is like dennis miller and laughter when it comes to roller skating? ....especially on monday nights? not ONE roller rink has an "open skate" as far as i can throw myself. but, you know, everyone has a price....



On January 21st, for SUPERHERO SKATING, KrOB'S Film Farm invites all heroes and villians to skate it out on the boogie rink of destiny (Paradise Skate in Antioch)! what you do, is come in costume, preferably as a superhero or supervillian of your own design--

meet at Ritual Roasters in SF @ 6pm with $10. for the drive-out theater and another $10. for the rink

-- and get on Chicken John's Applause Bus for a night of features from the great BRUTALLO!

No, it's not like Gay Underwear Skating.... nuh-uh.. not at all.

So, anyway....

Our movies include the Fairy Tale Favorites (switched-on grimm edition), trailers for K. Gordon Murray Films and upcoming Film Farm Features,



brutallo's fairy tale favorites


Guided by Christine Metropoulos and Mr. Sloumberfugex of Brutallo.com, we go over the river and down through the dense woods of the fabled imagination of stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen. Our fantastic escapade is sonically paced by equally animated electronic musicians: Mad Hatter Hans Grusel falls down the rabbit’s hole with Alice in Wonderland, while the terrific (and sometimes terrifying) twosome Tarantism wreak havoc with Mother Goose’s Nursery Rhymes. With his eerie soundscapes, audio- and video-editing wizard Loachfillet wolfs down Little Red Riding Hood; KrOB lurks through the forest with Hansel and Gretel ;
Bran(…)Pos rhapsodizes to Rapunzel; and deft soundscapist HeadBoggle crowns King Midas.







On our return trip we'll show Damon Packard Stuff (incl. "Space Rockers"), lots and lots of KrOB EYENOISE, and our main feature, the incomparable "SpaceDisco-One" from Damon Packard.



Here's the Film Farm write-up for the encore SF presentation of SpaceDisco-One.

We got 2 hours of skating time in a rink all to ourselves! We'll have reality manipulation by our very own voiceless ambassadors on wheels, Telepathik Friend and i might even get to play the music if the fledgling owner guy by the dashboard light will let a sith lord in his dj booth... i got a few mind tricks up my skull... we'll see....



spacedisco-one

The lovely Spy will act as your groove-a-delic Stewardess, serving the drinks and making you comfortable. She'll have a new drink made special just for the trip and there'll be a multitude of munchies to rot your teeth and suspend your disbelief as we roll aboard the geek-freaking Odeon Applause Bus! Make yourself comfortable snuggled among delightful company. It’s timed so that there’s a double feature; the first picture plays on the way out, the main feature on the way back. HIghly Recommended!


Meet in front of Ritual Roasters Cafe, 1026 Valencia St. at 6:00 PM for boarding. We recommend that you bring a blanket or sleeping bag / pajamas or SUPERSUIT!

Tally ho!


See you there…

THE APPLAUSE BUS DRIVES TO PORT COSTA!




JANUARY 14th
6pm
(from Ritual Roasters -- 1026 valencia st. SF)
$10.






Our first outing was alot of fun. a trip to boulevard bowl in petaluma playing our shit on two screens on either side of the bus. Once everyone was nestled, Chicken John rolled through eastern San Francisco and took us north over the Golden Gate. Starting with EYENOISE, an edited version of KINGPIN, a 50's education short called "LET'S GO BOWLING", some BOB and things BOB-related (the answer to the film farm trivia question, by the way, was BOB), and, of course, ending with our feature feature...THE BIG LEBOWSKI! I played some eyenoise as usual and spy melted butter for popcorn and served sugary snacks and white russians! We had a munson, complete with comb-over and a dude, complete with robe and a quart of half-and-half! i bowled a 126 and we all had in-and-out burgers in rohnert park!

yea... it was pretty awesome.

Expect more of the same, only spookier this time around, as we snake around the bay with our movie features of beautiful blondes exceptionally lost.

now it's dark.

We'll have even more drinks and snacks and free popcorn for everyone. Spy will have a drink special for each week.... what will it be this time around? Well whatever it is, it'll be cheap. I think this whole deal is a steal. $10. gets you a cool double feature on a great comfy ride. its win/win! Meet, once again, with any snuggling accessories (favorite pillow, blanket, mind-altering drugs, etc.), at Ritual Roasters at 6pm and when the applause bus rides up... get on!

Save a little for the bar in Port Costa, though. we'll take a bit of a walking tour around the area and check out this stunning historic landmark.

I'd talk for awhile about how i feel about both CARNIVAL of SOULS and INLAND EMPIRE... but the closer a thing is to my heart, the harder it is to articulate it to any satisfactory justice. So, i won't talk about these movies as much as i wish i could... save to say that CARNIVAL of SOULS has always been special to me. Featuring a creepy atonal organ soundtrack i first heard on Babs Bendix' HI-FI LIVING (a girl's show) and a great performance by Candace Hilligoss. Laura Dern, though, fucking rocks in INLAND EMPIRE. She'll probably never get an award for what she did, but she should. yes, David Lynch's new one is definitley one of his best. He's making movies with digital video now and saying goodbye to the expense and time-consumption of film processing. Cheaper and easier, he's making the movies he wants to make... which are the ones i'd rather be watching. We'll park somewhere pretty to watch and/or listen to this incredible movie... the soundtrack, for INLAND EMPIRE, i think, is his silkiest and darkest one to date.
