Cemetery Note

Sci-fi classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) will be showing at the Hollywood Forever cemetery on May 27th. If you're in town that weekend, it might be a cool thing to check out.

** Correction: They are showing the 1978 remake, not the original. My bad.**

You will need to buy your own tickets in advance ($18 each) from the LA Conservancy's Last Remaining Seats. Screening is Wednesday, June 21st. It may sell out, so don't wait until the last minute. After the movie, we hope to continue our tradition of scintillating discussion, this time at The Prince in Koreatown, where one of the scenes of the movie was filmed.
