The box office opens approx. 30 minutes before the first film and then re-opens shortly before the second film for those who wish to only see the second film.

************************************************************ Edgar Wright says:
A night of rock & roll comedy to kick things off. I have long wanted to immerse myself in Frank Tashlin's movies and what better way than to see this 50s Scope cult classic on the big screen. Coupled with GET CRAZY, a film by Allan Arkush who himself is a a huge Tashlin devotee and indeed THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT is one of his favorite films of all time (he may join on the night, scheduled permitting). Arkush's film is not available on DVD, so I am thrilled to be seeing this for the first time at the New Bev.
If you're geeky enough to go for the full triple, the rock and roll comedy theme extends to my own SCOTT PILGRIM in its monthly midnight slot (separate admission). Arkush himself says, "All three of those movies together could do some serious damage to impressionable minds."
