This week's feature was The Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck, an Indiana Jones knockoff directed by, and starring, David Keith (who should not be confused with Keith David).
David Keith has had notable roles in films like The Lords of Discipline, An Officer and a Gentleman, and U-571.
This was not one of those roles.
Perhaps directing himself was a mistake.
Starring in the female lead was Kathy Shower, who at the time held the distinction of being the oldest Playboy Playmate at the ripe old age of... 32.
Which is significantly younger than I am right now.
Man, I'm getting old.
Anyway, she doesn't get naked until an hour into the movie.
Other than that, there's a notable moment when the doofus white safari tourist, on the run from headhunters, says to his native guide (paraphrasing):
"See the color of my skin? That means I'm the boss!"
He is, of course, caught and decapitated shortly thereafter.
That's about it.
On an attendance note, the movie crowd was about the same, but the bar crowd was heavier than I'd seen on a Tuesday. Maybe people getting their last licks in -- I don't think the two-dollar pint special, which was some sort of ginger beer, was that big of a draw by itself.
The last two movies that'll be shown are Beer and Plan 9 From Outer Space, so don't miss 'em.
As for tonight, The Positions are playing at the Rock and Roll Hotel. I may try to go see them, but I'll probably also try to meet up with some folks at Clyde's in Ashburn beforehand, which would make it kind of a haul. So we'll see.

Tomorrow, I may take advantage of the open stage, and the buy-one-get-one-free $1.50 bottles at my friendly neighborhood watering hole.
I freakin' love this town.
BOGO $1.50 bottles? Without knowing what brand of beer it is, I will just say: Are you living in the 1970s or something?
