WEDNESDAY, MAY 9TH
SF IN SF FILM NIGHT!
BATTLE ROYALE
(1990; NR, but not recommended for children under 16; Japanese, with English subtitles, 114mins.)
BATTLE ROYALE is one of the most challenging and controversial films ever made... and is The Hunger Games, Lost, and Survivor mixed together, ramped up to a fever pitch. An instant classic in Japan upon release in 1990, it's the story of how, in the future, as a way of keeping their youth in line, the Japanese government yearly captures a random class of ninth-grade students, drops them on an island, and it's survival of the fittest...helps if you know how to use a cross-bow or semi-automatic rifle. Given three days to off your classmates and survive...how would you do? Battle Royale is based on the shockwave novel by Koushun Takami - we'll be raffling off a copy at the movie night!
As they say "BATTLE ROYALE....Because the Hunger Games are for sissies!"
6:00PM - doors and cash bar open
7:00PM - event starts - Raffle for cool schwag, and as always, FREE POPCORN!
