May 8 & 9 - Midnight- Mezzanotte!
THE BIG LEBOWSKI Party
IFC Center
www.ifccenter.com.

Descrizione: Siete fan accanitissimi del Big Lebowsky? Sapete il film a memoria, collezionate reliquie, vi vestite come i protagonisti del film, ne ripetete le gesta? Beh, questo party e’ per voi! Come gia’ succede per altri film-culto, tipo il The Rocky Horror Picture Show, cinema independenti offrono questo tipo di evento a mezzanotte. Ci saranno varie attivita’ prima e durante la proiezione del film e  se tutto va bene, potrete anche essere premiati con lo specialissimo Lebowsky Prize.

Description: The creators of IFC Center’s previous smash midnight hit, The Buffy The Vampire Slayer Sing-Along, return with two new midnight shows in May that bring your favorite cult movies to life!
The Coen Brothers’ 1998 comedy THE BIG LEBOWSKI has inspired countless bowling parties, drinking games, its own fan convention (Lebowskifest) and even a book dedicated purely to its unstoppable cult following (I’m A Lebowski, You’re A Lebowski). In bringing this oddball slacker classic back, we’re not only showing the film—but making it a party! Before the film, join us and test your skill at Nintendo Wii Bowling on the big screen, as well as contests of rug peeing (Yes, rug peeing!), trivia, impressions, and the f-word speed round. Winners get special Lebowski prizes and a chance to show off their bowling shirts to an adoring crowd. From IFC presentation.
