Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here. "Holy crap! I didn't even know he was done casting it yet!" No, no. We are, of course, speaking of the original. Which is about to get the Nerd Boner 3-Disc Edition treatment (cannot wait to pick one up), hence the scheduling at the always great, genuinely grindhouse New Beverly Cinema. Here’s what shows up in the inbox through official channels after an unofficial nudge had been sent in:
SEVERIN FILMS PRESENTS SCREENING OF BRAND NEW PRINT OF 'INGLORIOUS BASTARDS' PLUS 'BATTLE SQUADRAN' Q & A WITH LEGENDARY DIRECTOR ENZO G. CASTELLARI BETWEEN FILMS AND, SCHEDULES PERMITTING, STARS BO SVENSON AND FRED WILLIAMSON ON THE OCCASION OF ENZO'S 70th BIRTHDAY & TO CELEBRATE THE RELEASE OF SEVERIN'S 3 DISC EXPLOSIVE EDITION OF 'INGLORIOUS BASTARDS' At The New Beverly Cinema, 7.30 p.m on Wednesday July 30th and an encore of both films on Thursday July 31st. 7165 West Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90036 one block west of La Brea (323) 938-4038
Okay, first of all... YES, I WILL BE THERE.
Second of all, everyone who was giggling at QT's misspelling of the title page of his new script, check out the way Enzo's title is spelled on that second film there. Hmmmmm...
I haven’t seen the film. I love the fact that it’s a double-feature of someone whose work I haven’t seen, someone who’s going to be there, because some of the screenings like that I’ve gone to in Austin or here in LA in the past have turned out to be some of the best evenings of my filmgoing life. I remember the first double-feature of Fernando Di Leo films I saw, and the sudden recognition of this filmmaker’s voice that I had been totally unaware of. I know many people whose opinion of cult cinema I trust... and, yeah, QT would be one of those people I trust, considering the films he’s turned me onto at his fests... who really dig this movie, and if Bo Svenson and Fred Williamson are going to be there...
Look, either that excites you already, or this just isn’t going to be an evening for you. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one sell out, and since Quint and Kraken are here in LA after their suicide run to San Diego, I’m hoping all of us will be there to check this one out. Sounds like a great evening, whether you see it on Wednesday or Thursday, with the Q&A or without.
Hope to see you guys out there.
