Let’s all do our part to beat this thing so we can go back to the complete movie going experience! We continue our Million Dollar Matinees with Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket as we near the finish line on our Kubrick Kaleidoscope series. Kubrick spent 5+ years developing then shooting this stunningly brutal yet very idiosynchratic take on the Vietnam war. The movie, like many mid-late period Kubrick pictures, is divided into roughly two halfs. The first half of the movie follows young draftees and enlisted men through the boot camp experience prior to being shipped out to Vietnam. The experience is so relenting and unforgiving that one private in particular, nicknamed Private Pyle (Vincent D'Onfrio in a stunning performance), isn't able to mentally cope with the bullying and slowly loses his mind. The others are then shipped out to Vietnam and the second half of the movie follows Private Joker (Matthew Modine) as he tries to retain his humanity and perspective. It's hard amidst the absurdity of the top military brass, the day to day wholesale killing, and finally a stunning final sequence during the Tet Offensive in which Private Joker's platoon is targeted by an unseen assassin and get picked off one by one. Like all Kubrick movies, there is a particularly stunning subtext here about the inherent dual nature of man. On one hand, mankind DOES strive to become something more than just another predatory animal. On the other hand, mankind is possibly the worst predator and killer on the planet. Come join us to watch this stunning late period Kubrick movie on 35mm in a movie palace. Best always, Craig Hammill 35mm Secret Movie Club Founder.Programmer FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR IN-DOOR THEATER SCREENINGS REFUNDS: We can offer refunds up to 24 hours before showtime. Please request a refund through Eventbrite and we will process ASAP. After that, no refunds. Sorry. However if something last minute comes up and you can’t make the screening, for whatever reason, just write us at: [email protected] and we’ll offer you complimentary tickets to a future screening. WHY ARE THE TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN NORMAL? In order for us to re-open, maintain health protocols (which includes operating at only 50% capacity), and screen movies on 35MM, we need to temporarily raise our ticket prices. We apologize. However, if you could look at this as partially helping Secret Movie Club re-open indoor theaters and 35MM film screening, we would be eternally grateful. As we can increase capacity, we will IMMEDIATELY LOWER ticket prices. If you could look at this as all of us being in this together, we WILL remember your kindness. HELPFUL MILLION DOLLAR THEATER MOVIE PALACE PARKING TIPS: We recommend you go to ADD ONS and pre-order an all day $6 Grand Central Parking Lot Pass. The Grand Central Parking Lot is at the corner of 3rd Street and Hill Street just 1 block from the Million Dollar Theater entrance on 3rd & Broadway. HOW WILL OUR STAFF MAKE SURE THE THEATER IS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE: We will have staff in the theater (on both the ground and balcony levels) at all times who make sure everyone is wearing masks and obeying protocols. We will have signage at entrance, markings at concessions, restrooms, etc so folks keep 6 ft distance at all times. Anyone not observing safe protocols will kindly be asked to leave. On top of this, we’ll be making announcements at the head of each screening to make sure everyone understands the rules & regs! HOW CAN WE STAY ON TOP OF NEWLY ANNOUNCED 35MM SCREENINGS, EVENTS, ETC?
