Yellow Submarine ROCKS ON at The Senator!



Yellow Submarine continues this week at The Senator with evening showtimes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 7:30 PM.

Wednesday there's the public meeting with Joan Carter Conway at 6:00 PM, so the film will not show.

How many times can I see Yellow Submarine in a week or so? It remains to be seen. I figure my chances to see Yellow Submarine on the giant 40 foot screen at The Senator with the incredible sound system are finite, so I'm taking advantage of it while I can. I think I watched the film at least 5 times in the past week. That probably means I've seen this movie at least about 50 times now in my lifetime. For some reason, I'm not tired of it. Maybe that's because The Beatles rock. Maybe it's the colors. The colors! Anyway, it's all in the mind.

Woohoo! Yellow Submarine on the big screen!

OK. I just had to get that little scream of pure JOY out of my system. In case you can't tell, The Beatles' Yellow Submarine is one of my favorite films of all time. I've seen this one so many times I can just about recite all the bad jokes, but I don't care. Can't wait to see this on the big screen with The Senator's amazing sound system!

Yellow Submarine plays at 1:00 PM this Saturday and Sunday ONLY, so don't miss it!

Also, I'm looking forward to seeing The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, starring the late, great Paul Newman. I've never seen this one, but I love the tag line:

I want peace - and I don't care who I kill to get it!


The film will be shown with a rare 35mm I.B. Technicolor print, which means the color is gorgeously preserved. Yay!

Friday, May 8th: 5:00 & 7:30pm.

Saturday, May 9th through Sunday, May 10th: 2:30, 5:00 & 7:30pm.
Monday, May 11th through Thursday, May 14th: 5:00 & 7:30pm.

Admission $5 for everyone [cash only].


A no account outlaw establishes his own particular brand of law an order and builds a town on the edges of civilization in this farcical western.

I also want to personally remember and thank Mr. Paul Newman by starting me on a lifetime of drinking early, by offering me a beer when I was 10. (He was joking. I don't want to start any bad rumors here. The offer never came through.)

Also playing this weekend:

Horror Hotel
AKA The City of the Dead


Starring Christopher Lee

Presented with a rare original 35mm print.

Friday & Saturday evenings (5/8 - 5/9) at 10:00pm.
Admission $5 for everyone [cash only].
