“The Sting” – Outdoor Screening and Casino Night

October 2, 2013 by Lamb Laemmle

Laemmle continues its partnership with the Santa Monica Pier — this time as part of their Front Porch Cinema series. Free to the public, Front Porch translates to big-screen, outdoor fun during the dog days of summer. Over at the Laemmle booth, we’ll be entering people to win free movie tickets and giving away samples of our signature popcorn. What’s not to like? Some may even begin warming up for the first event, getting in the mood by reading more here about how gambling works before heading to the tables to follow the first movie.

So come down to the Pier and join us for the next three Fridays, starting this Friday, Oct. 4 with the 1973 Academy winner for Best Picture, The Sting. Directed by George Roy Hill and starring Redford and Newman at the height of their powers, this classic comedy caper set in the 1930s never fails to delight. The film screens at 7:30 pm but come early as the folks at the Pier have invited us all to try our hand at the gaming tables with Casino Night. Doors open at 6 pm.

Just remember to get some practice in with www.omi88.com casino to ensure your chances of winning are high! Those looking for casino sites to play on in the UK should also look into the available casino bonuses that they can make use of so that they can get an extra profit from their money. Sites like this (www.casino-bonus.me.uk) list the top casino bonuses right now.

There are no doubts about it, online casinos have soared in popularity over the past few years. In fact, thanks to the development of gambling websites and apps, gamblers can now get their gaming fix from anywhere in the world provided that they have a smartphone or a computer, and an internet connection. Moreover, thanks to the development of online safety tools, online casinos are now much safer than they used to be. As long as gamblers are careful to only use a Trusted website to play slot machines and other casino games, there are very few risks associated with online gambling.

What are some of your favorite casino games? Do you prefer land-based casinos or online gambling websites? Let us know your thoughts.

In terms of films though, that is not all. The series continues the following Friday, October 11 with the inimitable PEANUTS classic, Snoopy Come Home, as part of the the Pier’s official Doggie Drive-In Night (treats and water bowls provided!).

The concluding event features the eco-documentary, Chasing Ice, which chronicles the attempts of photographer James Balog to visually depict the effects of climate change on the Arctic glaciers. A subject very much appropriate to the Pier setting and a must-see for anyone concerned about the environment.

#ChainsawsWereSinging

Monty Python meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets... Les Misérables.

Chainsaws Were Singing is an absolutely bonkers action-horror-musical-comedy B-movie epic from Estonia. Shot guerilla style in 2013, this true love letter to crowd-pleasing exploitation cinema then spent a modest 10 years in post-production and is finally out in 2024.

Due to some rude language and over-the-top comedic violence, it is probably not suitable for children under 2.
