If You See Only One Midnight Movie This Year
If you’re in town this weekend you’re in for such a treat. There hasn’t been this much excitement about a movie since Bruce Campbell was in town for My Name Is Bruce. E Street Cinema (555 11th Street NW) is showing the greatest zombie movie ever, Shaun of the Dead, at Midnight on Friday & Saturday night (10/23 & 10/24). If you’ve never seen this movie, you owe it to yourself to be there. If you have seen the movie, then you already know you’ll be in line to see it again.
So if you see a lot of people shuffling around and mumbling to themselves, don’t worry. They’re probably just repeating lines like “there is an I in meat pie,” or “you got red on you,” or maybe “go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.” There is almost no chance that they’re blood thirsty zombies, of course if they are just remember to “remove the head or destroy the brain.”

it’s really fantastic to see the E Street Theatre carry on the tradition of running cult movies at midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. for those DC natives who used to go to the midnight showings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Key Theatre on Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown in the late 1980s/early 90s, this is welcome cultural news. (the Key Theatre site is now occupied by the Restoration Hardware store, I believe.)
