It must be Natasha Lyonne Week in Seattle! Check out “But I’m a Cheerleader” at Central Cinema on Wednesday, July 21!

July 20, 2010• by

We just saw her in the Peaches Christ movie “All About Evil” on Saturday, and now Ms Lyonne is back on a Seattle screen for a 7pm presentation of the 1999 cult comedy hit…co-hosted by the fine folks at Three Dollar Cinema. Check it out!

It’s all part of a new monthly collaboration between Central Cinema and Three Dollar Bill that will feature films celebrating the history of queer cinema. And, “But I’m a Cheerleader” is a good film to start with…this fan favorite didn’t earn much respect from traditional critics on its original release but has since become a staple of the Classic Queer Film Canon due to it’s funny, snarky script, vivid production design and witty performances from the cast. The story of a cheerleader mistakenly sent to a gay conversion camp by her conservative family who soon discovers that she IS indeed a lesbian, this satirical romp also stars such iconic Camp actors as Mink Stole, Bud Court and RuPaul. Tickets are $6 in advance and $8 day of show with discounts for Three Dollar Bill members. Check it out!

But, not necessarily in that order.
