Before James Cameron created those big, blue, pterodactyl-riding, cat-people in Avatar, he was responsible for bringing skeletal, killer robots to the big screen. Using the age old artistic mantra of "more is more", Cameron has dazzled us with sequels to classic genre films such as Ridley Scott's Alien (where he pluralized the hell out of those vicious bugs in his Aliens) and the Roger Corman produced PIRANHA (where, in his sequel Piranha 2: The Spawning, confronted with creatures who already traveled in a large group, Cameron responded by adding WINGS to FISH!) The man is a truly a master of what comes next in science fiction. What better way to spend a midnite weekend than by watching him tell the second part to his own classic, The Terminator!? This explosive, mini-gun toting, liquid-metal stabbing, action packed classic is not to be missed on the big screen!

dir. James Cameron, w/ Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, 2h17m

Arguably the best film about a cyborg police officer ever made, Paul Verhoeven's gory, science fiction masterpiece ROBOCOP blasted Hollywood action flicks into the 21st Century! When the mind blowing ultra violence of "Old Detroit" becomes too much for it's police force to bear, local evil corporation OCP steps in to create the ultimate crime fighting machine! When the newly transferred officer Murphy is murdered by the dad from That 70's Show, sniveling executives piece him back together using cold steel, cutting edge technology and what's left of his organic tissue; creating the Mirandizing fury of ROBOCOP!

dir. Paul Verhoeven, w/ Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Kurtwood Smith, 1h42m

$8.00/ $6.00 Students.

Exclusive Door Prizes to be Raffled Off Before the Show including signed silkscreened posters, a t-shirt and a super special secret prize! Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more information.

The Mountain Goats in solo and duo performance at Pomona College. In this film by Rian Johnson (Brick, The Brothers Bloom), John Darnielle performs The Life of the World to Come on piano and guitar. Shot in the same building where, as an eight-year-old piano student and new transplant to Claremont, he performed Bach minuets for the state examiner, The Life of the World to Come takes the songs from the album and restores them to their raw original states: skin, blood, and bone.

PEEEEE WEEEEEEEEE!!!!

There is only one truth in this life: PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE is the FUNNIEST MOVIE EVER MADE. If anyone tells you different, they're just trying to start trouble.

Watch the most entertaining man who has ever roamed the earth embark on a cross-country quest to reclaim his kidnapped best friend: a bicycle. Along the way, ol' P.W. will encounter tough-as-nails bikers, giant dinosaurs, wild animals, ninjas, chubby billionaires, escaped convicts, buckin' broncos, tone-deaf hobos, unwanted romance, fibbing gypsies, clumsy Godzillas, basement-less Alamos, vengeful boyfriends and even an undead trucker! Fun didn't exist until Pee-Wee invented it, and now the most funrocious, funtacular, fungorious funsplosion in the history of FUN will finally get its due as the most funeriffic Quote-Along ever! And you know we won't be able to start this show until we've done our very own Tequila dance competition...

We'd like to talk about how ladies in the 1980s were very different than the ladies of today, but we're not sure if those stereotypes are true anymore. Have you ever walked inside an American Apparel? Obviously everyone there takes their fashion cues from the video for Blondie's RAPTURE. So we guess the ladies of today (and hipster guys, really) aren't that different from the ladies of the 80s after all, but that's just more reason to pay our respects to the legends that started it all. Thank you, Cyndi Lauper, for showing us that it would be okay to show our TRUE COLORS. Thank you, Madonna, for telling us what it feels like to be touched for the very first time. Thank you Pat Benatar, for standing heartache to heartache with us. And Olivia Newton-John, we never would have known how to get physical without your guidance. This show is for all of you.

The Naked Girls will be reading from the books of Lewis Carroll and from works inspired by Alice’s adventures at a salon we’re calling “Down the Rabbit Hole”.

Naked Girls Reading is a group of beautiful ladies who love to read…naked. That’s really it. There’s not a whole lot more to it. Should there be? I mean, sure, we also like to do it in front all of you voyeurs via photos, videos and very special live events, but you don’t have to look for something larger here – something pretentious or even seedy. Once you experience it, you’ll stop asking so many questions and just let the concept take you.

There’s something beautiful, something altogether more intimate, about a woman reading pretty much anything in her, well, altogether. It’s just that simple. So why are we still talking about it? Because people can’t seem to accept its simplicity.

Naked Girls. Reading. or Girls Reading. Naked.

However you need to explain it to yourself is fine. And while you do, we’ll be over here…reading.

Naked.
