Okay... since I evidently didn’t explain myself properly in last week’s post, we’ll review to begin.

Cine-Space is located in Hollywood, on the corner of Hollywood and Ivar, and although it bears some superficial resemblances to my beloved Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, it’s a very different vibe. Cine-Space is more of a restaurant/bar in terms of design, with one end of the restaurant dominated by a large movie screen. You don’t buy a ticket to a movie, per se. Instead, you just need to call 323.817.FILM or use the website to make a reservation, and then you just pay for your dinner or drinks. The movie is the bonus, and this week... it’s one heck of a bonus.

At 7:00 on Thursday (that’s this Thursday, April 12), Cine-Space will be kicking off with a Q&A between myself and Doug Jones, the man behind the Silver Surfer, Abe Sapien, and a fistful of characters in the movie we’ll be showing right after the Q&A, PAN’S LABYRINTH.

If you’ve been interested in coming to one of these before but you’ve been waiting for the right film, this is it. This is the week to come out and see what we’re doing with this venue. As always, the screening is co-sponsored by our friends at 97.1 Free FM’s Film Freak Show, The New York Film Academy, and Golden Apple Comics, and presented by the great folks over at Cine-Space who make it possible.

I hope I see you there.
