This weekend at Cinefamily in LA, a cinematic celebration of the amazing and massive new book Destroy All Movies!!!: The Complete Guide to Punks on Film. Ā
From teenage ragers to mohawked post-apocalyptic gutteroids to actual, bona fide punks, this two-day multi-event mega movie showcase of pure power is a brick in the face of every film snob and/or high school principal!
The book’s editors, Zack Carlson and Bryan Connolly, will be on hand to casually guide you through the garbage-strewn annals of punk celluloid history. Kicking off the weekendās schedule is a fantastic clip show featuring ’80s sitcoms and news broadcasts’ bungling appropriation of punkās legacy — climaxing in the riotous ABC Afterschool Special āThe Day My Kid Went Punk!ā Ā
The weekendās hijinx also include Dave Markeyās Super-8 love letters to the L.A. underground scene The Slog Movie and Desperate Teenage Lovedolls, an ultra-rare midnight screening of the 1980 doc D.O.A. (featuring footage of the Sex Pistolsā ill-fated ā78 U.S. tour,), the urban menace exploitation classic Class of 1984, and the anthemic girl-power new wave flick Times Square! Ā
As well, Zack and Bryan will have books on-hand for purchase/signing — so cāmon down, pick up a copy, and pogo ātil you puke!
