The biggest cult movie of the past decade, THE ROOM is returning to The Plaza Theatre on August 29th for a night of interactive hillarity.
"While there are plenty of bad movies, there are no movies that are bad in all the ways The Room is bad. It suspends all normal rules of drama. Conflicts are introduced and then disappear instantly. Characters experience rapid mood swings, and everyone speaks in a weird brand of English filled with bizarre idioms. ("Keep your stupid comments in your pocket!") The sex scenes are scarier than the scary scenes." If you're unfamiliar with The Room, read more about it here: http://www.vulture.com/2013/06/the-room-10th-anniversary-history.html
If you've never been to a screening of The Room, familiarize yourself with some of the common callouts and participation cues here: http://www.avclub.com/article/a-viewers-guide-to-the-room-25721
And don't forget to bring spoons.
The night's preshow tunes will come courtesy of THE CABLE KNITS: "Infectious and exuberant in-the-red pop rock blasts that would work equally well as a soundtrack to a day on the beach or a full-on drinking binge. This local duo produces a mighty fine mess without hiding expertly crafted songwriting." - Sled Island
FIRST SHOW IN CALGARY IN OVER A YEAR. ONLY SHOW FOR AWHILE. DON'T BE A BUM AND MISS THIS.
As always this will be a special licensed event with beer for sale in the lobby which you can bring with you into the theatre! And because it was such a hit last time we will be serving SCOTCHKA for those brave enough to try it.
To wrap it all together, our pals in The Kinkonauts will be hosting for night. These cats are hilarious and will be giving away some rad prizes for ya'll as well. Costumes and audience participation encouraged!
$10 for members/$15 for non members
$9 Early bird tickets for both members and non-members if you get them before August 16th!
This event is always busy, and almost always sells out so we recommend you buy your tickets online in advance. Don't worry though we will be selling some at the door on the night of on a first come first serve basis.
Free memberships will be available in the theatre.
The Cable Knits will be playing at 10:00 and the movie will start at 10:30
The Fifth Reel is the new film series/club put on by a few of The Plaza staff, its purpose is to provide the movie lovers of Calgary with a unique and memorable theater going experience. By starting this member group it allows us to put on bigger events and qualify for special licensing as well as showing some unrated flicks in the future. Also as a member of The Fifth Reel you get discounts at places like @Another Another Dimension Comics, The Oak Tree Tavern, Broken City and improv shows by The Kinkonauts!
