A stellar week for fans of cult movies! First off, tonight marks the kick-off for the Neo-Futurists' annual "film fest" series It Came From the Neo-Futurarium, where bad movie scripts are re-enacted live on stage. (The kick-off film: the giant killer rabbit opus Night of the Lepus.) And this weekend, Facets Cinematheque kicks off another Facets Night School series of midnight screenings with the outtasite Black Dynamite. Can you dig it?
