Thief of Bagdad (restored 1924 Douglas Fairbanks classic) at the Guild Cinema
Monday-Thursday, January 7-10, 4:00 & 7:00 pm each day
Directed by Raoul Walsh – 1924 – 155m.
Meticulously restored by the Cohen Film Collection!
A spectacular accomplishment in production design and special effects, Raoul Walsh’s The Thief of Bagdad is a bold Arabian adventure starring Douglas Fairbanks as a carefree pickpocket who turns his appealing brand of mischievous thievery toward the attainment of happiness… and an exotic Princess (Julanne Johnston). The only way he can win either is by retrieving the rarest treasures hidden within the mysterious Orient, a quest that grows more fantastic with every passing thrill, as the tenacious thief rises high above the city on a magic carpet, battles a fire-breathing dragon in caverns of flame and soars into the clouds on the back of a winged steed via innovative special effects.
“American Silent Cinema at its most flamboyant! A dizzy conglomeration of Manhattan chic, Art Deco, and rampant Chinoiserie guaranteed to amaze the eyes!” – Geoff Brown, Time Out (London)
“A magic carpet ride of effects and stunts! So imaginative and extraordinary!” – Kevin Brownlow
“No film of Fairbanks’s presented a greater spectacle than Thief of Bagdad, his magnum opus. Having dazzled audiences with his enormous sets for Robin Hood, he chose to outdo himself for his Arabian Nights movie. On the one hand, Thief is the movie you want to see as a kid, when its wonderful special effects can work their best magic. On the other hand, its magnificent design, its sophisticated sense of Arabian Nights fantasies, and its tongue-in-cheek star may be best appreciated by adults. In other words, it’s a film for all ages and for all decades.” – Jeanine Basinger.

Happy Mel Brooks New Year Double Feature at the Guild Cinema
Monday-Tuesday, December 31 & January 1, 3:00, 5:00, 7:00 & 9:00 pm.
All Seats $7.00, cash only.
Blazing Saddles – 3:00 & 7:00 pm
Young Frankenstein – 5:00 & 9:00 pm
Blazing Saddles directed by Mel Brooks – 1974 – 93m.
Mel Brooks scored his first commercial hit with this raucous Western spoof starring the late Cleavon Little as the newly hired (and conspicuously black) sheriff of Rock Ridge. Sheriff Bart teams up with deputy Jim (Gene Wilder) to foil the railroad-building scheme of the nefarious Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman). The simple plot gives way for a steady stream of gags, many of them unabashedly tasteless, that Brooks and his wacky cast pull off with side-splitting success. The humor is so juvenile and crude that you just have to surrender to it; highlights abound, from the lunkheaded Alex Karras as the ox-riding Mongo to Madeline Kahn’s uproarious send-up of Marlene Dietrich as saloon songstress Lili Von Shtupp. Adding to the comedic excess is the infamous campfire scene involving a bunch of hungry cowboys, heaping servings of baked beans and, well, you’ll have to see it!
Young Frankenstein directed by Mel Brooks – 1974 – 106m.
Spoofing classic horror in the way that Brooks’s previous film Blazing Saddles sent up classic Westerns, the movie is both a loving tribute and a raucous, irreverent parody of Universal’s classic horror films Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Filming in glorious black and white, Brooks re-created the Frankenstein laboratory using the same equipment from the original Frankenstein (courtesy of designer Kenneth Strickfaden), and this loving attention to physical and stylistic detail creates a solid foundation for nonstop comedy. The story, of course, involves Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) and his effort to resume experiments in re-animation pioneered by his late father. (He’s got some help, since dad left behind a book titled How I Did It.) Assisting him is the hapless hunchback Igor (Marty Feldman) and the buxom but none-too-bright maiden Inga (Teri Garr), and when Frankenstein succeeds in creating his monster (Peter Boyle), the stage is set for an outrageous revision of the Frankenstein legend. With comedy highlights too numerous to mention, Brooks guides his brilliant cast (also including Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars and Gene Hackman in a classic cameo role) through scene after scene of inspired hilarity. Indeed, Young Frankenstein is a charmed film, nothing less than a comedy classic, representing the finest work from everyone involved. Not one joke has lost its payoff, and none of the countless gags have lost their zany appeal.

Lovecraft’s classic tale of alien horror bursts onto the screen in the style of the classic horror films of the 1930s.

Are you ready for the end? Or perhaps a new beginning?
Either way, buckle up, because today marks the 2012 Mayan Apocalypse (December 21). This date corresponds to the end of the 13th b’ak’tun, or 144,000-day cycle, on the Maya Long Count calendar, marking a full cycle of creation, according to the ancient Maya.
This milestone has triggered both fear and excitement in some subcultures, particularly online. Some believers see the day as a true doomsday, when the Earth will be destroyed in a planetary collision or other major disaster. Others see it as a day marking a new dawn of peace and unity.
All of this excitement stems from two ancient texts found in Central America and dating back to the heydays of the Mayan Empire. One calendar inscription was found on a monument made around A.D. 669 in Tortuguero, Mexico, and refers to the coming of a god associated with cycle changes on the Dec. 21 date. (Of course, since December is an invention of western calendars, they didn’t use quite those terms.) Doom & Gloom: Top 10 Post-Apocalyptic Worlds
A second inscription, unearthed this year in Guatemala, refers to a struggling king who called himself the “13 k’atun lord,” an effort to tie himself to the 13th b’ak’tun of Dec. 21, 2012. This was likely a public relations move designed to shore up support after the king suffered a crippling defeat in battle a few years before.
In neither text were apocalyptic predictions made. But when westerners caught wind of the Mayan calendar, they mixed in their own end-of-the-world mythology, much of it stemming from Christianity, and created a new legend, according to University of Kansas Maya scholar John Hoopes.
So, celebrate today – it may be your last! Or wait until tomorrow (December 22) and Party Like It’s Not The End Of The World!
Come prepared to tell club members what you read in 2012 and would recommend to others. Choose 2-4 books, and practice keeping remarks short and to the point. You might also consider one or two books that people should avoid!

NOTE: ALSO PLAYING ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT AT 10:30PM!
A POV, found-footage horror film from the perspective of America’s top genre filmmakers. In V/H/S, a group of misfits are hired by an unknown third party to burglarize a desolate house in the countryside and acquire a rare tape. Upon searching the house, the guys are confronted with a dead body, a hub of old televisions and an endless supply of cryptic footage, each video stranger and more inexplicable than the last…
“GRADE A – TERRIFYING. One of the scariest movies in recent memory. Loaded with scares that play on a primal nightmare level. The final segment feels like the brakes are off and you’re flying off the mountain into the void. It is a film designed to shake you with abandon, and there is no doubt… I am shaken.” – Drew McWeeny, HitFix
“PREPARE TO BE SCARED. A great midnight movie experience.” – Ryland Aldrich, Twitch

Tennessee steampunk pioneer (and Wild Cards contributor) Cherie Priest will be celebrating the release of The Inexplicables (set in the same world as Boneshaker) with a talk and signing November 16!
In the new Priest novel, “Rector ‘Wreck ‘em’ Sherman was orphaned as a toddler in the Blight of 1863, but that was years ago. Wreck has grown up, and on his eighteenth birthday, he’ll be cast out out of the orphanage.And Wreck’s problems aren’t merely about finding a home. He’s been quietly breaking the cardinal rule of any good drug dealer and dipping into his own supply of the sap he sells. He’s also pretty sure he’s being haunted by the ghost of a kid he used to know—Zeke Wilkes, who almost certainly died six months ago. Zeke would have every reason to pester Wreck, since Wreck got him inside the walled city of Seattle in the first place, and that was probably what killed him. Maybe it’s only a guilty conscience, but Wreck can’t take it anymore, so he sneaks over the wall. The walled-off wasteland of Seattle is every bit as bad as he’d heard, chock-full of the hungry undead and utterly choked by the poisonous, inescapable yellow gas. And then there’s the monster. Rector’s pretty certain that whatever attacked him was not at all human.”
Come join Priest 7:00 pm Friday, November 16, at Bookworks, 4022 Rio Grande Boulevard NW (north of Griegos).
