Ross with cheap swag and prize giveaways!
Dinner & a Movie - Fill up on cinema! Working with
select downtown restaurants, FilmScene partners to present occasional delicious
special events.
The menu
will include, of course, (Vegan) Soylent Green; Asparagus & Spring Veggie
Wraps with herbed tofu cheese & coconut bacon, served with a side of sweet
potato fries, aioli, and fresh greens; pistachio-lime cookies; and green
popcorn. (I'm embracing the Green theme.)
We will use a ton of local ingredients and everything will be fun &
delicious. We want to gently nudge you toward thinking about how your food
choices have a direct impact on the future of the environment. Eat a vegan meal
now and perhaps save future generations from Soylent Green...? :)
You also get a free draft beer because, after all, this is Late Shift at the
Grindhouse.
Soylent Green
In the year 2022 food is
scarce but people need to eat.
"Lively futuristic yarn with a
splendid climax." - Halliwell's Film Guide
"Like Rollerball it’s exciting
to see a future that looks so much like the '70s." - Sean Sweeney, Amoeba.com
"Soylent Green is not only
better than I remembered, it's actually a good movie." - Casey McCabe, Movie Magazine
International
Soylent
Green is landmark screen science-fiction, a riveting entertainment and a
cautionary tale that holds a mirror to a tomorrow rife with ecological
disaster. Working well again in the futuristic genre following Planet of
the Apes and The Omega Man, action titan Charlton Heston portrays Thorn, a
detective prowling the dank streets of a polluted, overpopulated Big Apple gone
rotten in 2022. He's trailing a murderer - and the trail leads to a
stunning discovery. Vividly realized, Soylent Green's world gains its
power not just from its special effects but from its heart - a human dimension
magnified by the performance of legendary Edward G. Robinson in his moving
screen farewell.
Tickets available on the FilmScene website, the FilmScene box office and at Trumpet Blossom Cafe
