Bee Girls Thank You

This is what it's all about, folks. Seeing all y'all in the seats at the screening of INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS was enough to give us fits. What that film lacked in footage it made up for in depth, charm and social commentary (thanks Ethan for the tip).

Anyway, I personally -- the humble webmaster -- must thank each and every one of you attendees for coming out. Yeah the weather was nice and you could've been getting your drink on somewhere else but you came out and let us know you're there. That makes me want to put on another movie, by gum. -- Peace.

INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS -- March 19th

Just finished the new Cinemania poster today. Come out to the Angelika Film Center Dallas MARCH 19th -- 8pm for a special 35mm screening of the sleaze classic INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS (1973). Hey, Roger Ebert calls it a "guilty pleasure" and I'm willing to listen to any man who wrote the script for BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.

Tickets $10 at the door. Get there a little early for a set by DJ Wild in the Streets. She'll be slinging some rare classics for your amusement and edification. Ciao.
