Popcorn at the Pier – The Sequel

September 5, 2013 by Lamb Laemmle Leave a Comment

Popcorn at the Pier - The Sequel

 

Once again, Laemmle will be at the famed Santa Monica Pier taking part in the city’s beach-side summer festivities.

Join us tonight (Thurs, Sept. 5) starting at 7pm, as we co-sponsor the Pier’s free Twilight Concert series.  Stop by our booth near the entrance and say hello. We’ll be there giving out popcorn samples and free raffle tickets to win a Movie 5-Pak!

Tonight’s program features atmospheric indie rock courtesy of Gardens & Villa as well as Norwegian singing sensation Monica Birkenes, a.k.a. Mr. Little Jeans.

If you haven’t been down to the Pier the summer, here’s your excuse.  The music series is, excuse the pun, a whale of a time!  Locals and tourists come together in a spirit of festive celebration, and the musical program rarely disappoints.  Not to mention just the sheer glory of spending a summer evening at the beach.  Speaking of, if you want to avoid the clutter near the stage, you can pack a picnic and watch the show on a big screen from the sand below.

As mentioned festivities begin at 7pm and last to about 10pm.  Accessing the Pier can be done via public or private transport. For all you cyclists out there, the City of Santa Monica offers free and convenient bike valet which can be found beach level a few steps south of the Pier.  Motorists, click here for directions and parking info.

See ya’ down there!

Naomi Watts on the Unconventional Passion of ADORE

This Friday we are pleased to open Anne Fontaine’s latest film, ADORE, at our Royal, Playhouse and Town Center theaters. Originally titled TWO MOTHERS and based on a Doris Lessing novella, it’s about two life-long friends (Naomi Watts and Robin Wright) who fall in heated love with each other’s young adult sons.  As Watts says more than once in this recent interview, “there’s nothing illegal going on here.”

Laemmle at the Pier

Laemmle at the Pier

While the doc Zipper: Coney Island’s Last Wide Ride comes to Laemmle this Friday, Laemmle is coming to … well not Coney Island exactly …. but our local seaside fun park, the Santa Monica Pier!

Join us tonight (Thurs, Aug. 29) starting at 7pm, as we co-sponsor the Pier’s free Twilight Concert series.  Stop by our booth near the entrance and say hello. We’ll be there giving out popcorn samples and free raffle tickets to win a Movie 5-Pak!

Tonight’s program includes Grammy-nominated Trombone Shorty & Orleans Ave, known for their exciting brew of old school jazz, laced with funk, soul.  Venice, CA collective Dustbowl Revival also comes to the stage, bringing an eclectic sound that includes fiddle, mandolin, trumpet, banjo, accordion, tuba, steel drums and more.

If you haven’t been down to the Pier the summer, here’s your excuse.  The music series is, excuse the pun, a whale of a time!  Locals and tourists come together in a spirit of festive celebration, and the musical program rarely disappoints.  Not to mention just the sheer glory of spending a summer evening at the beach.  Speaking of, if you want to avoid the clutter near the stage, you can pack a picnic and watch the show on a big screen from the sand below.

As mentioned festivities begin at 7pm and last to about 10pm.  Accessing the Pier can be done via public or private transport. For all you cyclists out there, the City of Santa Monica offers free and convenient bike valet which can be found beach level a few steps south of the Pier.  Motorists, click here for directions and parking info.

See ya’ down there!
