Sorry, just getting into the spirit of Bizarro Movie Night.

Starting this Saturday, the Aster Coffee Lounge in Ballard will serve as a screening room for some of the most demented, rip-roaring movies ever committed to posterity, hosted by the SunBreak's resident B-Movie Evangelist/Correspondent, Tony Kay.

This week's presentation is still TBD (Tony says the final selection will likely include muscles, an exotic eastern flavor, or both, but he promises one thing for sure: It'll be gear, Daddy-O.) We're planning on presenting Bizarro Movie Nights at the Aster regularly in the coming months, and all partisan bias aside, it should be a blast.

Tony will spin lively riffs on everything from 50's sci-fi classics to biker flicks to Japanese horror to swinging '60s spy thrillers to Italian Gothic chillers to brain-damaged kiddie matinée fodder and beyond. The movies showcased just might blow the top of your head off (Aster management assumes no responsibility for spontaneous cranial combustion).

The Aster sports a lovely projection-screen TV set-up, and they serve up light fare and snacks, coffees, teas (they brew up a fine Chai), and even beer and wine. The event runs from 8 to 10:30 p.m., so there's even plenty of time to party the rest of the night away after a hearty helping of Bizarre Cinema!

More details reside on the SunBreak's calendar listing. Updates, background, and Bizarro Movie recommendations are being regularly posted on the Bizarro Movie Night Blog.

Stay tuned...IF YOUR HEART CAN STAND THE SHOCK!!!
