Can't Miss It: Monday

The Feeling's Mutual: The plainly monikered Metropolitan Improvement District is kicking off its Denny Triangle Loves You, a weeklong event during which the city's better known food trucks (Molly Moon's, Dante's Dogs, Lumpia World) will be giving out free lunches to the first 100 visitors between the 12:00p.m. and 1:00p.m. The specific locations of the trucks won't be published ahead of time, instead those looking for a handy free meal must either friend Downtown Seattle on Facebook, or follow them on Twitter in order to receive clues and hints to the truck's whereabouts. Sounds like a minimum of fuss in order to get a free meal in a great neighborhood.

The Beauty of the Baud: On the one hand, the 1995 cyber-thriller Hackers is a cheesy corny goodness for its attempt at presenting a cutting edge counterculture action movie based on quickly obsolete technology ("Thrill as Angelina Jolie dials up the interwebs!". On the other, it actually comes close to capturing the essence of that counterculture for a product of Hollywood. Presented at the Central Cinema in something called HeckleVision™, where viewers text their smart ass comments to a phone number, and then they appear on the screen mere seconds afterwards. Nobody best try and do that during the 9:30p.m. showing of Being John Malkovich or knees are going to get busted.

Tonight at 7:00p.m. // Central Cinema, 1411 21st Avenue // $8

Romcoms for the Literati: In describing a staged reading by the Endangered Species Project, Theater Contributor John Allis found "the talented cast of professionals [were] beguiling, a treat to witness at work." He further went on to say that it was "among the best staged readings I've ever seen." This month, ESP brings you a double bill of George Bernard Shaw's Village Wooing and Anton Chekhov's A Marriage Proposal; romantic comedies that bear the thematic imprints of their authors (ruminations on life, class, and love among the bourgeoise). The evening is guaranteed to at least be a thought provoking entertainment, filled with literate quips, bon mots and general laughter.

Tonight at 7:00p.m. // West of Lenin, 203 North 36th Street // Free

Evening of Absurdly Disjointed Video: It is time once again for Collide-O-Scope, Re-bar's monthly compendium of difficult to describe, astonishingly inappropriate hilarious found and edited footage. It is difficult to describe what transpires to the uninitiated and do it justice, as it is it smart, dumb, scary and amusing all at once, and refreshingly so. As with past attempts to encapsulate the experience, we find that their trailer does a better job of preparing the audience than we ever could. Yes, that is Al Jolson out of blackface chumming it up with big band legend Cab Calloway; yes, those are KOMO's Connie Thompson bloopers; yes, that's a Japanese workout tape that also teaches self-defense while spewing Terminator 2 quotes. That's how Collide-O-Scope rolls.
