[George Marinkovich]

Rebel Without a Cause (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebel_Without_a_Cause) screens tonight (8/10/09).

"You're tearing me apart!" scene from the film:

If you are still on the fence about whether to see this movie or not, Hollywood has a few modest words to say to you in the understated and measured tone for which it is rightly famous throughout the civilized world:

So if you decide to witness this

ENTERTAINMENT OF 
UNFORGETTABLE
EMOTIONAL
IMPACT 

at Screen on the Green  tonight, all you have to do is get to 4th St on the National Mall before sunset.  I will be there at 6:45pm as near to the screen (front and center) as I can manage, wearing the traditional blaze orange, lounging on the equally traditional blue and gray tarps.

Don't miss "the birth of adolescence as a culturally recognized phenomenon", the film that marks the earliest documented discovery of teenage angst.

In recognition of the fact that it may be a warm evening, we have received special dispensation from the arbiters-that-be:  you can leave your red jacket at home and still be cool.
