As you may already be intimately familiar with the Alamo Drafthouse’s wild and crazy “Weird Wednesday” programming by Lars Nilsen, I won’t belabor the point. Suffice to say, this week’s offering is entitled Black Cobra which, according to Lars, features Laura Gemser as “a stripper with a python act who has a very strange effect on two brothers — sleazy charmer (and her real life husband) Gabriele Tinti and the late, great Jack Palance, as a bizarre, ranting snake fetishist.”
All we can really say is… it’s $1, it’s weird, and it’s Wednesday in Austin. So why the hell not? (18+, by the way, and all Weird Wednesday shows start at midnight.)
For more deets on upcoming Weird Wednesday offerings, check Lars’ blog, or dig the Austin Chronicle‘s interview with the man himself for insight into some very twisted minds and movies.
But…
Perhaps you’re into a different kind of weirdness?
The Alamo’s Ritz location is also showing the Bette Davis classic All About Eve this Wednesday at 7 PM, hosted by drag queen extraordinaire Rebecca Havemeyer.
Live pre-show antics may or may not include “mystery guests, live animals, live-via-satellite mayhem, and enough song and dance to win a blue ribbon,” so don’t miss this blast from the past if you’re big into Bette, bitches and booze!
