Discussion following HOWARD THE DUCK with actress Lea Thompson. Introduction to NAPOLEON DYNAMITE by producers Chris Wyatt and Sean Covel, and actor Jon Gries.

70mm!

HOWARD THE DUCK

1986, Universal, 110 min, USA, Dir: Willard Huyck

The titular sarcastic, cigar-chomping, 27-year-old hero of this ahead-of-its-time fan favorite hails from the planet Duckworld, from which he’s suddenly beamed away via an Earth-based scientific experiment gone awry. Landing in Cleveland, Howard must contend with this new and strange place, and, of course, prevent the very destruction of the universe by a villain who also gets accidentally beamed down to Earth. Visually inventive and engaging, HOWARD THE DUCK is an amazing oddity: a comic book film squarely aimed at adults with humor way above the heads of the young audience it drew.

World Theatrical Premiere of “The Bootlegged Edition”!

NAPOLEON DYNAMITE

2004, Fox Searchlight, 96 min, USA, Dir: Jared Hess

From the rural town of Preston, Idaho, comes Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder). With a red 'fro, his moon boots and illegal government ninja moves, he is a new kind of hero, who spends his days drawing magical beasts, working on his computer hacking skills to impress the chicks, and begrudgingly feeding his grandma's pet llama. When his friend Pedro (Efren Ramirez) decides to run for class president, it is Napoleon to the rescue to help him triumph over adversity.
