Blue Velvet25th Anniversary Screening
David Lynch’s Blue Velvet (1986) is arguably the most important American surrealist film of all time. A funny, mysterious and freakish film noir, it follows greenhorn college student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) as he investigates the origins of a severed human ear he finds in a field. His obsession leads him to the dark underbelly of the suburban, Norman Rockwell-esque town of Lumberton and almost gets him killed.

More About
The cult classic contains several quotable lines, most of them spoken by the late Dennis Hopper, who plays the villain Frank Booth. Among them: “You stay alive, baby. Do it for Van Gogh,” and “I’ll fuck anything that moves!” There’s also the chilling threat, “You know what a love letter is? It’s a bullet from a fucking gun, fucker!” But no Blue Velvet quote is as popular as Frank’s response to Jeffrey’s favorite brand of beer. Frank asks, “What kind of beer do you like?” Jeffrey utters the unfortunate word “Heineken.” To which Frank bellows, “Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst! Blue! Ribbon!”
In celebration of Blue Velvet’s 25th anniversary, The Alamo Drafthouse is serving up the film along with some brews. Yep, the theater is stocked up big time with PBR. Expect a hearty laugh and collective toast when Hopper gives his onscreen endorsement. 6:30 p.m. 532 South Mason Road. For information, call 281-492-6900 or visit www.drafthouse.com. $7.
