Home movie night, part uno

Posted in Etcetera | 22 October 2008 | by D/C

The cinematic and social event known as the Drive-in Tip premiered last Friday at the regular old Tip (if you can call anything as fab as D/C’s penthouse lounge “regular”). A normal-people-studded crowd were treated to popcorn, Whoppers, Irish coffee and a 60-minute assortment of family movies, student art films, DIY candid-camera programs, and more. Co-sponsored and (more importantly) edited by Kontent Films, the program featured Parker’s father in Vietnam, a young Jenny Moe on Venus (at least, as envisioned by high schoolers) and Lemme and his brothers on powerful intoxicants. These familial gems were augmented by Anna McClure’s wooden dolls love story, Shannon Burke’s metal robots love story and an action-packed schoolgirl spoof of “Charlie’s Angels,” created by Larissa Waters. There was even a 1968 power tools commercial from Anne’s dad’s ad agency. But why read about these masterpieces when you can watch them? Which you can do as soon as we post them here.
