jfbI haven't been to the Cinema Club for a few months--I forgot once, and another time I was just too tired. When I do go, I usually don't take part in the trivia contests, because I'm shy, because I don't know enough trivia, and because the prizes, as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
artname can attest, are often things like "original instrumental score from Freddy Got Fingered".
Today, though, I identified a hypothetical portmanteau film, in which Charlton Heston discovers that a popular food substance is made from illegal aliens, as "Soylent Green Card" (get it?) and I got prizes I liked: The soundtrack from Singin' in the Rain, the Collector's Edition DVD of Jackie Brown, and a free pass for the new Guy Pearce movie, plus a Jackass baseball cap (sigh) and, somewhat mysteriously, a blue shirt.
The film today was Prey for Rock and Roll, starring Gina Gershon as a rocker pushing 40 and deciding whether to keep at it. I liked it, and suspect I would've liked it even more if I thought punk rock was cool. Cheri Lovedog, the writer of the semiautobiographical script, was there to answer questions and talk about the movie. Gershon sang her character's vocals, and was good; her bandmates, who learned to play instruments enough to look convincing but not enough to actually be on the soundtrack, were Drea de Matteo, Lori Petty, and Shelly Cole, best known to me as one of the evil Chilton girls from Gilmore Girls.
