The vitals:
Thursday, March 6
7:00 ~ Doors
7:30 ~ BLONDE DEATH
Queer novelist James Robert Baker (also known as Robert Dillinger) shot Blonde Death for $2000 with the help of Los Angeles art collective EZTV. This landmark entry in queer cinema is a noted inspiration for filmmakers like Gregg Araki and Jon Moritsugu, and still retains a transgressive punk energy even 40 years after its release. Like Baker’s novels, the film is gleefully anarchic, stabbing holes at Ronald Reagan’s right-wing, heterosexual white America and the buttoned up repression of the American middle class. It’s also absurdly funny, and has maybe the most daring set piece to ever take place in Disney Land.
