Wednesday, June 27 - 7:30 PM An In-Person Tribute to one of the most acclaimed actors of the noir era, Farley Granger, who’ll be making a very rare Los Angeles appearance and signing his autobiography Include Me Out: My Life from Goldwyn to Broadway. STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, 1951, Warner Bros., 101 min. Dir. Alfred Hitchcock. A chance encounter on a train triggers an unstoppable race toward double-murder. Hitchcock’s classic thriller is a finely-tuned engine of suspense, taking barely a breath as it steams through a spine-tingling story of fate, coincidence, guilt and psychopathy -- favorite themes of noir writer Patricia Highsmith, whose novel is adapted by the legendary Raymond Chandler. Robert Walker performs in perhaps his most memorable role as the charming, rich, mama’s boy psychopath. Farley Granger is excellent as the tennis champion tormented by his shrewish, estranged wife and trapped in a bizarre murder exchange scheme with Walker. With Ruth Roman. Discussion following with actor Farley Granger. Join us for a booksigning of Include Me Out: My Life from Goldwyn to Broadway at Every Picture Tells A Story (1311-C Montana Ave) at 6 PM with Farley Granger. General Admission to the screening $10/$8 Students and Seniors

In this sequel to his original bestseller, "Save the Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You’ll Ever Need," Blake Snyder returns in a fast-paced follow-up that proves why his approach to screenwriting delivers more insider information than any other guide on the market. Snyder is one of Hollywood's veteran screenwriters and acknowledged experts on storytelling. For a twenty-year period, Snyder’s track record and million dollar sales were legendary in Hollywood. Snyder’s last book broke new ground in 2005 in overall sales and continues to be a best seller -- and now Snyder has established himself firmly as an international expert with standing room only seminars and lectures in Europe on the art of Hollywood storytelling for the screen. Snyder provides guidance, encouragement and inspiration to the confused, wary, overwhelmed and frozen screenwriter – beginner or experienced-- who wants to create not just a good script but a marketable one. Because Blake Snyder has written dozens of scripts including two million dollar sales (one to Spielberg) and has sold material to Universal, Disney, and 20th Century Fox, he is considered the screenwriter’s best friend who offers up ironclad road maps in which to immediately begin writing. Snyder is determined to set a collective new dialogue about the realities of professional screenwriting; this is exactly what his sincere and heartfelt books set out to do and accomplish. Snyder once again takes his place as one of the most successful, visionary, accessible, pragmatic screenwriters who writes about the craft of our time.

It started out innocently enough as a monthly multi-band music venue, but may have opened the doors to a sinfull party vortex. Named after Thirty Round Clip’s drummer, Boom, aka Rick Steel, the bashes were created to provide a regular venue for local musicians and fans alike to enjoy a night of music and fun. What has transpired is a combination of Spinal Tap meets Reaper. Boom Bash One, mild enough, was met with Santa Monica’s finest called out on a sound ordinance violation. Boom Bash Two was a rock opera bacchanal complete with band members rumbling in the parking lot, drunks grabbing the microphone from bands performing on stage, and a pagan love-fest in the bar that as publicist for the Boom Bash, Cloven Goddess reports was so wild “I almost came home with a new wife and girlfriend! My husband was greatly amused.” Music and shenanigans seems to be the agenda of these events and Boom Bash Three is promising to be even more decadent than the last. The party starts Friday, June 6th at 14 Below. Doors open 8 p.m. In the bar TK will be spinning all your favorites from rock to hip hop, featuring MC Fletch, DJ Sol, DJ Funky Monkey, & DJ Monkieteri. On stage the night opens with Bay Area band Bullets and Halos, Santa Monica’s Thirty Round Clip, Beer Bong featuring Sheena Metal, and closing with Kill The Sound. If your hooves are cloven, it will be night to remember. Boom Bash 3 $3 Beer $10 Admission 14 Below 1438 14th Street.
