A remarkably handsome youngboy, still a teenager, gets "dis(overed" by a big-time movie agent. Because when he takes his shirtoff young hearts beat faster, because he is the picture of innocence and trust and need, he willbecome a star. lt seems almost preordained. The open smile says, "You will love me," and soonthe whole world does, The young boyt name was Tab Hunter - a made-up name, of course, aHollywood name - and it was his time. Tab Hunter was a true product of Hollywood, a movie starcreated from a stable boy, a shy kid made even more so by the way his schoolmates-both girls andboyrreacted to his beauty, by a mother who provided for him in every way except emotionally,and by a secret that both tormented him and propelled him forward. (ome join Tab Hunter inperson for a clip show of his myriad film roles, with live commentary by Tab and Eddie Muller (co-writer ofTab's autobiography TAB HUNTER C0NFIDENTIAt), followed by a screening ofJohn Waters'dassic P0LYESTER (with 0dorama cardsl). Both screenings followed by a Q&A and book-signing.

To you, real life is something todo when you're tired ofwat(hing movies."That quote is from 5-25-77, an autobiographical , coming-of-age storyfrom writer/ditector Patri(k Read Johnson, all about his final, life-changing, 24 hours as the 0nly science-fiction-obsessed teen filmmaker in his rural home town ofWadsworth, lllinois, on the day STARWARS opened. . . May 25th,'I 977. And that quote sums up our lives perfectly. Will seeing one movie really change Patrick's entire destiny? Allhe knows for sure is that the Death Star c0uld take out the Enterprise with one shot.

Tommy (ill-fated child actor Bobby Driscoll) is a young boy who has developed a bad habit oftelling tall tales, and his ratherstuffyworking class parents (Barbara Hale and the always-amazing ArthulKennedy) discourage his imaginative impulses. They live in a dark, foreboding film noir tenement duringthe dregs of a typical New York summer, which drives the sleepless young boy ont0 a fire escape f0r air.He witnesses a scuffle that turns into a gruesome murder: a man falls dead with a gory stab wound in hisback and a pair of scissors drop to the floor. When the boy rep0rts the murder no one believes him - andhe soon finds himself an open target for the killers in this agonizingly suspenseful masterpiece.

Guns willbe drawn, midgets will be having an affair, and neighbon will use spatulas. Hoo! Thatkind of love HURTSI But then, rockers already knew how painful love can be, ever sincethey started slowing down some of their songs for the ladies, and taking a break fromthe headbanging so everyone could hold up lighters and sway until they caught theirbreath. We?e putting these two Sing-Alongs bark to back on June 7 so we can explore allthe intricacies 0f love and how two totally different genres of music can be forced to dealwith all the same kind of heartbreak.
