Please, Dear. Your Auntie's Hung.

One of Seattlest's all-time favorite macros comes from the 1958 movie Auntie Mame. The morning after a very very late night, Mame (Rosalind Russell) stumbles about her living room, eye mask in place, while her overeager nephew Patrick makes way too much noise. To which she says: "Please, dear. Your Auntie's hung." Trust us, you'll use it next time you are hung.

Auntie Mame is a movie that teaches you things. Things like, sidecars are part of a light breakfast. That life is a banquet and most suckers are starving. That you can name your band after Mame's hapless, nasal secretary, Agnes Gooch. If you'd like to learn such things (and take in a crazy, sweet, charming movie), this weekend is your chance to see it on the big screen--and at Central Cinema, no less, where they have food and bar service. This movie may also teach you that you want to live in New York and commit interior design craziness and smoke cigarettes in long holders and treat life as a banquet. There are worse things.

Auntie Mame plays tonight through Sunday at 6:30 and 9:30 pm.
Central Cinema, 21st Avenue at E. Union Street.
Tickets $5.
