The Tivoli Announces the ‘Reel Late’ Midnight Line-Up – JURASSIC PARK, THE ROOM, ZARDOZ
“YOU’RE TEARING ME APART, LISA!”
Another great lineup of midnight movies for the ‘Reel Late at The Tivoli’ for late July through early September. It’s a typically good variety of titles that will draw the late night movie buff crowd and a couple of retro surprises are to be found. The Midnight Movie experience has always catered to a college-age crowd and that’s the way it should be. When I was that age, in the early ’80s, midnight standards included A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971), THE GRADUATE (1967), NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968), KING OF HEARTS (1966), and HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971). Those last two haven’t shown in many years. KING OF HEARTS especially seems to have fallen off the cult movie radar , so imagine my surprise when I saw that the Tivoli had HAROLD AND MAUDE as part of their new line-up. That’ll be some old school midnight fun and I hope it gets a good crowd. ZARDOZ, a trippy/cheesy sci-fi mess from 1974 has Sean Connery running around in a red diaper and is also a brilliant, throwback choice.
Of course the big event of the summer will be July 31st and August 1st when there will be thousands of plastic spoons flying through the air and grown men in tuxedos will be throwing footballs three feet away from each other in the Tivoli’s lobby. It’s of course THE ROOM and the return of the one and only Tommy Wiseau, the film’s amazing triple-threat talent writer/director/star. When Tommy was last in town, three years ago, both shows sold out and Tommy brought a big box of THE ROOM T-Shirts, DVD’s, posters, ‘Johnny’ bobbleheads and more to sign for his legion of adoring fans. I’m sure this summer’s event will be just as fun. Tickets are $15 and are already on sale at the Tivoli’s box office or site.
HAROLD AND MAUDE isn’t the oldest film on the new midnight schedule. THE WIZARD OF OZ from 1939 will screen midnights August 14th and 15th and there will be a special noon show on Saturday the 15th.
Reel Late at the Tivoli takes place every Friday and Saturday night and We Are Movie Geeks own Tom Stockman (that’s me!) is there with custom trivia questions about the films and always has DVDs, posters, and other cool stuff to give away. I can’t wait to write ZARDOZ trivia! Ticket prices are $8 (except THE ROOM which is $15). We hope to see everyone late at night in the coming months.
The Tivoli is located at 6350 Delmar in The Loop. Visit Landmark’s The Tivoli’s website HERE
