Valentines Day at The Nickel:
KILLER SWEETHEARTS:
A TOXIC DOUBLE FEATURE
7pm: GUN CRAZY (X)
Joseph H. Lewis, 1950, USA
A horned-up, pulpy, razor-sharp B-movie noir masterpiece, and favourite of Martin Scorsese.
Bart Tare is an ex-Army man who has a lifelong fixation with guns, he meets a kindred spirit in sharpshooter Annie Starr and goes to work at a carnival. After upsetting the carnival owner who lusts after Starr, they both get fired. Soon, on Starr’s behest, they embark on a crime spree for cash.
87 mins, Cert: PG (originally X)
8.45pm: VIDEO MIXTAPE
9.15pm: BLONDE DEATH (18)
Presented on VHS
Shot for $2000 on video by “James Dillinger” (aka author James Robert Baker) BLONDE DEATH is a savage blast of underground anarchy.
The story follows the transformation of Tammy Lynn Beaverdorf (Sara Lee Wade) from bubbly teen to death-tripping speed freak—an in-your-face rampage of sex, drugs, and violence that climaxes with scenes that were secretly filmed inside Disneyland. Satiric, subversive, and gleefully enraged, BLONDE DEATH is an essential chapter of queer cinema history.
Programme notes will be provided.

OUT OF THE BLUE (18)
Dennis Hopper, 1980, USA
A young girl whose father is an ex-convict and whose mother is a junkie finds it difficult to conform and tries to find comfort in a quirky combination of Elvis and the punk scene.
Dennis Hopper considered this movie a follow-up to Easy Rider (1969) in that this is what would have "likely happened" to those characters. In that same sense, we might consider it an unofficial origin story for his iconic role as Frank in Blue Velvet (1986) which follows on the same bill.
The screening will be accompanied with programme notes and an introduction.
