This month, the films focus on race. QQUMC screens films in the sanctuary at 7pm.

Friday's film (which I can't believe I have to miss - of all the weeks to go see Molly!!)

Feb. 13: “Song of the South” (1946)

Joel Chandler Harris’ tales featuring Br’er Rabbit and his friends and all the happy slaves down on the plantation. Boycotted originally by the NAACP and the National Negro Congress. Walt Disney Studios has retired this one from the home video market.

 

Feb. 20: “Watermelon Man” (1970)

A racist white insurance man wakes up one morning to find himself turned into Godfrey Cambridge! This dark comedy was Melvin van Peebles’ directorial debut. Rated “R” for language.
 



And one that we just HAVE to go see - it will just be THAT AWFUL

Fat Tuesday Musical February 24
 

Our selection will be the winner of the Razzie Award for Worst Picture and Worst Screenplay of 1980, “Can’t Stop the Music” starring the Village People, Valerie Perrine, Bruce Jenner, and Steve Guttenberg. The film is full of cameo performances and the lack of acting talent of the Village People and Bruce Jenner. This movie didn’t kill disco, but it didn’t do it any good. So, start planning to dress up as a GI, construction worker, cowboy, Indian, leatherman, or cop, or just throw on your best bulletproof polyester outfit and plan to join us singing and dancing to “YMCA” and other disco hits.

I love Big Smith.  They're a bluegrass/folk/hillbilly music group based from the Ozarks.  I met them at the Documentary film festival a few years ago, and they make my heart very happy.  I just learned that they're playing the Revolution Room tonight at 9 pm in the River Market.  Tickets are $8, but I'll gladly pay for the tickets so I can have some company.  Anyone want to go with me?

Silent Sunday is a fundraiser for the Arkansas School for the Deaf - for technology purchases.
Central Arkansas Independent Restaurant Operators serve tasting portions of their famous food.
I've attended two years (not consecutively) and rank the event as fabulous.
Tickets are $18 in advance, $20 at the door.
Wear pants with an elastic waist.  Some people bring cafeteria trays to hold the tasting portions.  It's that good.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] heifer3  for alerting me of this year's event.
