Flash Gordon
Originally uploaded by Adam Preble
Three Dollar Bill Cinema’s free outdoor movies in Cal Anderson park continue this Friday with a very important film: 1980’s Flash Gordon.
There are several reasons to attend this showing Friday night:
- It is such an excellent film that, after sitting through it the first time in 1980, I asked my dad if we could watch it again. Immediately. Another 111 minutes later, we staggered into the late afternoon light flashier and wiser men.
- Temperatures should be in the 80s.
- Buying snacks supports Three Dollar Bill.
- Queen.
Movies start at dusk so think 9ish or later. The series wraps up August 21st with another movie with a spectacular theme song — Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in 9 to 5.
