Coming to the Coolidge!

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Fri & Sat, March 23 & 24, Midnite

bennyhillifier

2hr 15mins // directed by

avid Lynch // featuring:Sheryl Lee, Ray Wise, Heather Graham, Kiefer Sutherland

20th anniversary screening!

After the cancelation of the television series Twin Peaks, David Lynch (Lost Highway) returned to the big screen to tie up loose ends and tell the back story of Laura Palmer: the days leading up to her brutal murder and the beginning of the FBI investigation into a mysterious murderer that could be tied-in with the death of Palmer.

Return to the idyllic Pacific Northwest town of Twin Peaks before homecoming queen Laura Palmer's grizzly death tipped the community on its head. As with the best Lynch films, the seedy underbelly of an otherwise picture perfect town is revealed to be even more disturbing than anyone could have imagined.

Special Agent Chester Desmond (Chris Isaak) is investigating the murder of teen Teresa Banks when he mysteriously disappears. The following day long-lost Agent Philip Jeffries (David Bowie) appears to Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and shares with him a dream that he witnessed at the Black Lodge. Cooper is assigned to investigate the disappearance of Agent Desmond and try to piece together the Banks murder. He reaches a dead end, but is positive that the killer will strike again.

One year later in the town of Twin Peaks Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) is trying to keep up her chaste appearance at high school while engaging in recreational drugs and sex with nefarious men in out-of-the-way bars and gambling establishments, and running with "bad boy" James Hurley (James Marshall) behind her boyfriend's back. What is behind her dual personality? Nightmares of an unknown man and a room with red curtains haunt her. Could these be more than just dreams?

Almost universally panned upon release, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me has proven to be one of Lynch's best films and a crowning jewel in the cult of Twin Peaks.

Everything Is Terrible! presents DoggieWoggiez! PoochieWoochiez!
Saturday, March 24, Midnite

1hr 30mins // directed by:Everything Is Terrible! // featuring

ogs, dogs, and more dogs!

Those krazed VHS-hunting pupz from Everything Is Terrible! (everyone’s favorite found footage chop shoppe) are back with their third inner-eye-opening feature — containing a feat never before attempted in either human or canine history.

EIT! asks but a few simple questions: 1) “What if we made a movie composed ENTIRELY out of dog-related found footage?”; 2) ‘What if this magickal movie, made up of thousands of other dog movies, was also a remake of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1973 masterpiece The Holy Mountain?”; and, 3) “What if we went on the road performing an all-new “live in fur” show that picked up where Cirque Du Soleil and The Rock-A-Fire Explosion left off?”

Well, let’s stop asking dumb rhetorical questions because this never-ending spiral of World-Pup winning, sunglasses-wearing, murder-solving, skateboarding pooches is real! This is it! Are you dog enough to go fetch it? ARFFFFFF!

An Evening with Don Hertzfeldt featuring It's Such A Beautiful Day
Monday, April 2, 7PM

1hr 11mins // directed by

on Hertzfeldt

Cult animator and Academy Award nominee Don Hertzfeldt (Rejected, Billy's Balloon, the Meaning of Life) is coming to the Coolidge Corner Theatre for a rare one-night-only event! A selection of Don's classic animated shorts will return to the big screen, culminating in the exclusive Boston-area premiere of his newest film, It's such a beautiful day: the third and final chapter in a trilogy about a mysterious man named Bill.

Chapter One, Everything will be OK, won the Sundance Film Festival's Jury Award in Short Filmmaking and was named by many critics as one of the "best films of 2007".

Chapter Two, I am so proud of you, received twenty-seven awards and was described by the San Francisco International Film Festival as "[his] best yet... even the Hertzfeldt faithful may be too stunned to laugh."

Nearly two years in the making, the 23-minute It's such a beautiful day is Don's longest, and most ambitious piece to date: blending traditional animation, experimental optical effects, trick photography, and new digital hyrbids; printed out one frame at a time, the movie was captured entirely on an antique 35mm animation stand, one of the last remaining cameras of its kind left in America.

The entire animated trilogy, along with some additional classic Hertzfeldt shorts, will be screened together for the first time via new 35mm prints, immediately followed by a live on-stage Q&A session with Hertzfeldt, moderated by Adam Savje, Studio Manager for the Animation Department at MassArt.

Don Hertzfeldt's animated films have been featured in over a thousand film festivals and venues around the world and have collectively received over 150 international awards. Some notable honors include a Short Film Palm D'or nomination at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival (Billy's Balloon), a 2001 Oscar nomination for Best Animated Short (Rejected), the Sundance Film Festival's Jury Award in Short Filmmaking (Everything will be OK), and Best Picture and Best Screenplay from the Fargo Film Festival (I am so proud of you). In 2010, Don received the San Francisco International Film Festival's "Persistence of Vision" Lifetime Achievement Award at the age of 33.

Mark your calendars. Call your mothers. Boston's miscreants of metallic mayhem Sexcrement along with Chainsaw Kiss Productions present an evening of impulse, indulge, & heavy rock 'n' roll in the Coolidge Corner Theatre! Hosted by scream queen Linnea Quigley, the event will include live performances, burlesque dancing and other assorted mayhem.

To top it all off Sexcrement's Trucker Bombed music video will make its grand premiere, directed by Victor Bonacore and with Ms. Quigley in the starring role. Also premiering is Johnnie Lee Jordan's new music video Robotripping Though the Gates of Hell! And a twisted animated short from ScreamerClauz! The night will be capped with very special and super rare big screen showing of the Linnea classic, Savage Streets on 35mm!

About Savage Streets

During a night out cruising around Hollywood Boulevard, tough-talking high schooler Brenda (Linda Blair) and her gang of sassy girlfriends, The Satins, cross paths with a bunch of local low life thugs calling themselves The Scars. When their advances on the girls are spurned in no uncertain terms and their prized convertible ends up dumped full of garbage, The Scars suffer a severe blow to their combined ego that demands a response.

Their barbaric retaliation takes the form of a violent sexual assault on Brenda’s deaf-mute little sister, Heather (Linnea Quigley), that leaves the young girl fighting for her life. Determined to avenge her sister, Brenda tools up with an unlikely assortment of deadly weapons and takes to the streets in search of those responsible and for whom she is unwilling to show any mercy.

About Sexcrement

The group is currently putting the finishing touches on their second full serving of disgusting debauchery fittingly titled Sloppy Seconds.

4hr 07mins // directed by:Quentin Tarantino // featuring:Uma Thurman, David Carradine

"Do you find me sadistic?"

Quentin Tarantino's deadly Bride (Uma Thurman) slashes her way to vengeance in this two- part film that pays homage to genres ranging from Japanese Pinky Violence to classic Chinese kung-fu with a little bite of Fulci undead thrown in for good measure.

When the Bride awakes from her coma and finds that the child she was carrying was among the victims of a wedding day massacre ordered by her former master, Bill (David Carradine), she composes her "Death List Five", and begins to cross off the names that took away all she held dear. Armed with a blade crafted by the legendary Hatori Hanzo (Sonny Chiba), she begins to sever the limbs of all those that stand between her and her intended prey.

Co-presented by the Boston LGBT Film Festival.

The Room
Friday, April 20
Saturday, April 21
Midnite

1hr 30mins // directed by:Tommy Wiseau // featuring:Tommy Wiseau

Special screenings of The Room with Tommy Wiseau and co-star Greg Sestero in person, April 20 & 21. The Love Is Blind Tour 2012. Purchase your tickets now before they sell out and it's too late.

Midnite crowds have flocked to attend this show due to its "so amazingly bad it's [spooning] great" charms. In recent years, some of Hollywood's most talented have counted themselves being in the cult of The Room. Paul Rudd, David Cross and Jonah Hill catch the film whenever they can.

The Room's director, producer and leading man is the mysterious Tommy Wiseau. In the film, Tommy portrays "Johnny", a man who becomes involved in a love triangle when the woman he loves begins sleeping with another man. Johnny is also the mentor of a drug dealing man child, a dog aficionado and possesses an alarmingly unnerving giggle.

Kept as an L.A. secret for half of a decade, The Room has now found its way to the east coast and we here at the Coolidge are proud to present it in all its baffling glory.

and more to come!
