Welcome to the 7 1/2 floor of the Mertin-Flemmer building! As you will now be spending your workday here, it is important that you learn a bit about the history of this famous floor…
Or you could learn a bit about that history—as well as ponder themes of identity, agency, fame, sexual jealously, magic portals leading into the brains of famous actors, and world-class puppetry—in a theater full of people! Yep, we’re screening Being John Malkovich at the Avalon Atmospheric Theater on Wednesday, September 16! Reserved-seating tickets to the 7 p.m. screening are $10. They’re on sale NOW.
Need we say more about this 1999 Spike Jonze-directed carnival ride written by Charlie Kaufman and starring John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Keener, and, well, John Malkovich? Only that it’s a turn-of-the-century masterpiece and that it should be an absolute hoot to see it again on the big screen. Need we say more about the screening itself? Only that it’s sponsored by our friends at Lakefront Brewery, Gruber Law Offices, and Skilos: A Family Pet Store! They’re the best!
Hey, Malkovich! Think fast!
