wall-e (2008) Monday 6:30pm @theknockoutsf

The world has been over-consumed into an apocalyptic, arid oblivion, in which the ignored consequences of climate change, corporate rule and pollution have rendered humanity lethargic, stupid and space bound.  A single custodial robot (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) toils at task to salvage the earth, and to keep his short circuits safe enough to help a pet ‘roach friend.  Enter Eve, the sleek robot probe that starts Wall-e on a space faring quest through robot riots, human friendship and pixar love.  Featuring: SPACE!!!, Sigourney HAL Weaver, Jeff Garlin and Fred Willard.  Directed by Andrew Stanton.

A reprise showing from February 2017!  As always, one episode of cowboy bebop before the feature!

Face/Off (1997) Monday 6:30pm 3/13 @theknockoutsf

Devilish maniac Castor Troy plots mayhem and madness in a future imperfect 90s actionscape– where panoptic prisons, 3D printed flesh repair and Face Exchanges are commonplace.  Can special agent Sean Archer prevent Troy’s plans on his city, wife, identity and daughter!?  Directed by John Woo, Face/Off collides big budget two-fisted gun fights against internal crisis and existential doubt, in what would otherwise read like hard 80s cyberpulp-noir or Time Crisis 8.  Featuring Cathode Ray Tubes, /r/ONETRUEGOD,  Saturday Night Pulp Fiction, Bound Gershon, Margaret Fucking Cho & CCH Pounder!  Directed by John Woo.
