The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T

Did you know that Dr. Seuss wrote a screen play in the 50s? Well you do now! The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T was his only full leingth movie script to hit the silver screen. It stars Hans Conried (the voice of Captian Hook in Disney's Peter Pan) and Tommy Rettig (the original boy to TV's Lassie). Strange, dark, dripping with commentary on opression and world dominataion this is defanatly a movie for your movie bucket list, and Trylon microcinema is playing this gem all weekend!

The 5000 fingers of Dr. T, Jan 23rd-25th, show times vary, $8

The first Tape Freaks screening at the MOA will be postponed until February.

We are sad to announce unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances the first Tape Freaks presents event at the MOA this coming Thursday will be postponed and pushed back to officially start the 3rd Thursday of February. This explains our lack of posts going into the month. We wanted to roll this thing out the right way and haven't been able to due to the circumstances. Our apologies if you were planning on attending.

On the upside there will be an event that night if you do choose to attend that we promise will not disappoint. At this time we're not sure if we can say anything but If we can we will post the details.

UPDATE:  for tonight at the Mall of America. we just found out that there will not be a replacement screening.

So if you were going out tonight to the MOA for some movie weirdness. You will just have to settle for whatever is currently running.
Sorry.
We promise February will be weird and fun.

Thank you

We're hosting our own series at the Mall of America!

   
That's right, we've taken on a monthly series at Theatres at Mall of America. Each month we will bring you a weird, unique, and cheesy movie we think deserve a larger audience. This series is based on the days when scouring the shelves of your local video store, relying on the cover art and misleading descriptions on the backs, would get you movies that would blow you away, make you cringe or both. And when you found the best of the worst, you'd invite all your buddies over to gleefully watch them be blown away too. Well friends, we've been to the video store and we've got some things to show you! We've got movies you've forgotten about, never heard of, or only heard of, and all of them are worth watching in a room full of people.

 The movies will remain secret until the title hits the screen, but we'll be dropping hints on the Tape Freaks blog to give you an idea of what to expect. We'll be exploring movies, directors, actors, and actresses that somehow relate to the movie we've chosen. The movies will screen* every 3rd Thursday and we'll be doing giveaways before each screening.

 Hopefully we'll blow some minds, but we're most excited to watch some fun and strange movies with other like minded individuals on the big screen!

 See you there! -Tim and Colette

 (*We're sourcing the best versions we can, but sometimes we're going to be screeining actual VHS copies because that's all the further they were allowed to get in the home viewing world.)
