Q-Seattle Events: Tacky Tourist Clubs

Film karaoke, plus Features from the Black Lagoon at Cal Anderson Park.

5:02 PM

Karaoke Film Challenge
Now, this sounds like fun -- something (forgive us) that we don't usually say about karaoke.

Three Dollar Bill Cinema and Northwest Film Forum jointly issued a challenge to local filmmakers to "take a stab at creating goofy, tongue-in-cheek karaoke videos for their favorite songs, then belt it out loud in front of a live audience -- all while enjoying their favorite libations, of course."

It's their second annual Karaoke Film Challenge. The results will be on display Tuesday, July 31 at the Film Forum auditorium at 1515 12th Ave [get directions] at 8 pm. The evening is hosted by DJ KY Jelly "in one of his final Seattle appearances."

Tickets are $6.12 for Film Forum members and $9.70 for the general public. Advance purchase is recommended.

Features from the Black Lagoon
This could be a great preview for a new summer film series from Three Dollar Bill Cinema coming soon to the heart of Capitol Hill. Features From the Black Lagoon offers free outdoor screenings in the unique setting of Cal Anderson Park [get directions]. The three features in the series will be shown using film projectors rather than the DVD projection typically used for similar outdoor movie events. All programs are free and fun for the whole family, starting at 8:30 pm.

The series kicks off Saturday, August 11 with Creature From the Black Lagoon. The creepy classic will be shown the way it was originally produced and meant to be seen: in 3-D.

On Saturday, August 18, gay icon Carmen Miranda performs The Man in the Tutti Frutti Hat and other fruity numbers in the must-see Busby Berkley musical The Gang's All Here.

On Saturday, August 26, Supergirl will swoop into the park to save the planet from the evil clutches of Mommie Dearest's Faye Dunaway.

Those many who find karaoke more enjoyable than us should know that Three Dollar Bill continues to sponsor its regular Cinaoke nights at Jewelbox Theater at Rendevous, 2322 Second Ave [get directions]. You can be the star of your favorite movie musical. Just like regular karaoke, you pick a song from a list of hundreds, but these are all tunes from musicals, so you'll sing along while the movie and lyrics are projected onto the screen. The next Cinaoke performance is Monday, August 13 starting at 8 pm. Door opens at 7 pm. $5 cover.
