/Film LA: James Bond Retrospective In June, ‘Super Mario Bros.’ Midnight Screening And Reunion This Week
One huge upside to living in Southern California — aside from fantastic weather and plentiful opportunities to stuff your face with In-N-Out burgers– is the thriving film scene that naturally results from being the world capital of moviemaking. Whether you prefer your adventures led by suave British spies or pudgy Italian-American plumbers, the next few weeks have got something for you. Hit the jump for details on aSuper Mario Bros.screening and reunion this week and aJames Bondretrospective in June.
Former cast and crew are also expected to be in attendance, though the Super Mario Bros. Archive (who are hosting) has not named names at this point. The event is one of a series planned around the country; New York-based fans got their own last month and the Super Mario Bros. Archive plan to head to Wilmington, NC and Seattle, WA in June. Admission for the LA screening is $10.50 for general, and $8.50 for seniors and children. Head toSMBMovie.comorFacebookfor more info.
As much as I loved the sexy firstteaserforSkyfallreleased earlier this week, it had the unfortunate result of making the wait ‘til November 9 seem longer than ever. But Angelenos won’t have to wait quite so long to see 007 back on the big screen.
