TIM BURTON AND PAUL REUBENS ON SET OF “PEE WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE.”
Next week it’s back to school but there’s still time for one more summer Big Adventure with everyone’s favorite lovable, grown-up man child, Pee-Wee Herman (that’s his name, don’t wear it out)!! In PEE-WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE, our titular hero refuses to sell his bike – even for all the money in the world. Not for a hundred million, trillion, billion dollars! While shopping for new bicycle accessories and to Pee Wee’s shock, his prized possession is stolen! Did Dottie conspire against him? Maybe Large Marge stashed it in her big rig? Was it jealous Andy vowing for revenge? Or did Francis Buxton hide it in his bathtub under a battleship? Find out this weekend when we screen Tim Burton‘s first feature film in 35mm!
For all you duds out there who were soured from missing LEMON on opening night of the Oak Cliff Film Fest, we’re making that proverbial lemonade and bringing it back!
In Michelangelo Antonioni’s first English-language film, BLOW-UP, you are an eyewitness to what’s happening in a world where the beautiful and the bizarre take on new forms and hold new fascinations. Originally released in 1966, BLOW-UP is presented in a new 2K digital restoration by Warner Bros.
Childhood Nostalgia Alert! Celebrating 70 years of Highlights Magazine, 44 PAGES documents the creation of the world’s most popular children’s publication. Bring the kids!
And tonight, we’re all meows with the DALLAS VIDEOFEST CATFEST! See cat videos from all over the world, curated by Dallas VideoFest! Proceeds go toward helping a local shelter.
