two trylon showings tonight

First, a presentation from Sound Unseen:

Viva Las Vegas


The Trylon

Wed Jan 05 7:30 
(1964, George Sidney, BD, 85m) Of the 33 feature films that Elvis Presley made, few loom larger in the cultural memory than this hip-shaking ode to sin city. Elvis is Lucky Jackson, a young man who has racing on the brain, until a tantalizing young swim instructor (Ann Margaret) enters the mix--and raises the stakes. 
Then later in the evening, a presentation from the Gizmonic Institute:

MST3k #822: Overdrawn at the Memory Bank


The Trylon

Wed Jan 05 10:00 
This CPT production tells the tragic story of a lowly clerk who seeks refuge from his futurist hellscape in forbidden classic cinema. Against long odds, Raul Julia escapes this film with his career battered but faintly alive. The same can not be said of any remaining cast or crew. This screening, originally scheduled for the Turf Club, will have a suggested donation of $5 to cover the Trylon's overhead. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Great term- "lack of funds."
