Started this blog WAY back in 2006 primarily to promote screenings and a good one's coming right up in the San Francisco Bay Area at the Orinda Theater.
Much of the crew that produces the KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival returns to Orinda to present a Saturday matinee. OOZ-O-RAMA's essential criteria: does it ooze and, if the answer is yes, just how viscous is it. Would the 1958 version of The Blob, plus any trailers and promotional films related to it - as well as cheap Blob knockoffs - be viscous enough? Yes, definitely!
Before and after the ooze will be the usual suspects: trailers from B-movies, Soundies, well-meaning but now ridiculous 1950's educational films, cheesy "snack bar" ads, Scopitones, cartoon rarities, commercials, bizarro comedy shorts, "thunder lizards", kidvid, silent movie clips, serial chapters, puppet animation, and whatever not-exactly-cinematic drek we can dredge up for the occasion.
Psychotronix Film Festival presents Ooz-O-Rama
Saturday September 23, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. PST
Orinda Theater
2 Orinda Theatre Square
Orinda, CA 94563
Movieline: (925) 254-9060
Yours truly will not be there, and that means rest assured there will be no commercials for the 1956 Rambler in the show!
The Psychotronix bunch shall return to the Orinda Theatre on Saturday, October 14 for a Halloween show.
Does this blogger and co-founder of the KFJC Psychotronix Film Fest wishes he had a Star Trek teleportation device handy so it would be possible to attend these two Orinda Theatre shows? Heck, yeah!
There shall also be a Foothill College KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival, which this blogmeister will be involved in - do not know just yet if the playdate's in November or December 2023, or in January 2024. Awaiting that news!
