It's just as well that there isn't too much going on in the city, as far as movies as concerned. With Pride 2017 already blocking off streets in downtown, you would probably have a hard time getting to the movies anyway! But for any adventurous types out there...
Both of the new titles on here, The Bad Batch and Scum, are not exclusive to this weekend, but I'm sure it would help them both out if they had successful opening weekends. Well, Scum is actually from the 70's so it could probably care less.
I'm not discouraged by this light weekend, because we have a lot to look forward to next week! The lineup includes a double feature of Logan Noir and Max Mad Black and White, Ringu, and the return of the Super Shangri-La Show!
Have a great weekend everyone!

SCUM tells the story of Carlin, a new reform school inmate with a reputation as a hard case. The authorities encourage gang leader Pongo to humble Carlin, but he beats Pongo down and takes over the mantle of Daddy. The guards institute a reign of terror and neglect, with Carlin emerging as an unlikely leader. One of the most important British features of the last 35 years, SCUM still packs a wallop.

This low-budget freak show/cult classic/cultural institution concerns the misadventures of Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) inside a strange mansion that they come across on a rainy night. After the wholesome pair profess their love through an opening song, their car breaks down in the woods, and they seek refuge in a towering castle nearby. Greeting them at the door is a ghoulish butler named Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien), who introduces them to a bacchanalian collection of partygoers dressed in outfits from some sort of interplanetary thrift shop. The host of this gathering is a transvestite clad in lingerie, Dr. Frank N. Furter (Tim Curry), a mad scientist who claims to be from another planet. With assistants Columbia (Nell Campbell) and Magenta (Patricia Quinn) looking on, Frank unveils his latest creation -- a figure wrapped in gauze and submerged in a tank full of liquid.
