Free tonight in Tompkins Square Park: 'Donnie Darko,' pizza

The Films in Tompkins series continues tonight with the time-traveling weirdorama of "Donnie Darko," plus pre-movie music by The Rad Trads. And! A Two Boots 25th Anniversary Event. Which means free pizza.

As for the movie, which I recall seeing at the Pioneer Theater adjacent to Two Boots during the two years or so that it played there ... here's the trailer for the tragicomedy....



And a bonus song from the soundtrack... Tears for Fears circa 1985...



And as we've cutted-n-pasted (heh) all summer long:

Free. Gates Open at 6 p.m. Music Starts ½ Hour before the Start of the Film (sundown)

Aug. 9 — The Big Lebowski, Music by Main Squeeze Orchestra
A Two Boots 25th Anniversary Event with Free Pizza!

Aug. 16 — Poltergeist, Music by Timbila

Aug. 23 — (rescheduled from July 26) Goldfinger, Music by The Luddites

Dates subject to Rain Delays.

    I'll Stay to watch this film Under the Milky Way and The Killing Moon to get a respite form this Mad World.

    And speaking of Tears for Fears, the end credit song for this film, Mad World, was covered and popularized by Gary Jules, was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFsHSHE-iJQ'>originally</a> by "Tears for Fears.

    Not that anyone cares. #shutupesquared
