Cinetrix and Cinespia (Or, What to do in Los Angeles Tomorrow Night)

by Karina Longworth May 27th 2005 // 11:01PM

It all started when Cinetrix wrote this great blog post, about how she's going to go see North by Northwest tomorrow night at Hollywood Forever - "the resting place of Hollywood's immortals". "What a great idea," I thought - an outdoor summer screening at the cemetary of the stars. Then I did some digging and discovered that Cinespia - "a film society created to bring together the community of film enthusiasts in Los Angeles" - puts these events on every Saturday night, all summer long. People bring blankets and chairs and picnics and beer, and DJs spin before and after the show. And next weekend, on June 4th, they're showing one of my all-time favorites, Twentieth Century, starring John Barrymore and Carole Lombard. Damn it. Tell me why I live in New York, again?

NOOOOOO, this was one thing that i hoped wouldnt get very popular. its packed enough as it is. shame on you cinematical, for providing so much wonderful info and corrupting my last haven of awesomeness.

PS. dont go, its way too awesome for the average movie-goer. and they have a rule that you have to at least have 5 SAG points to get in, not my words, theirs.

Thanks for the shout out. To be perfectly honest, I'll be present in the same way that George Kaplan is present in "North by Northwest," which is to say not really.
