The Remote Control Film Night Number 3 22nd March 2012

ooh it is all textured

The technicians, artisans and engineers of Leamington Underground Cinema will be retreating to their broadcast bunker once again on Thursday 22nd March, to transmit another Remote Control Film Night to you, Citizens Of The Internet.

The event can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere with access to the internet and a taste for the weird and wonderful of the cinematic world (it probably wouldn't hurt to have a few drinks handy too).

Things will kick off at 7.30 GMT precisely and you can join in on the LUC facebook page:

www.facebook.com/LeamingtonUndergroundCinema

..or if you like on twitter by following @_paperjam or at:

www.twitter.com/_paperjam

the hashtag #rcfnight will be getting an outing too. So tell your friends, tell your family, tell your co-workers, tell your doctor, tell that bloke groaning away in the cubicle next to you:

"Don't miss Remote Control Film Night Number Three on 22nd March 2012! - it's completely free, entirely on-line, almost totally hygienic and your statutory rights will remain entirely unaffected."

PS - The quiz is going to tougher this time too.

The Remote Control Film Night 2 - 10th November 2011

remote control film night 2 the power of lenin compels you

Comrades, the glorious central committee announces another one-night film extravaganza you can enjoy without leaving the sofa.

Dissident collective the 'Leamington Underground Cinema' have been retrieved from the gulag to invite you to join them on Thursday 10th November at 7.30 pm for an evening of on-line film entertainment, competitions and questionable behaviour via the internet.

To join in you should navigate your browsing equipment to either:

and click the Like button, or follow the twitter account @_paperjam, which you can find at www.twitter.com/_paperjam.

Prepare yourselves for an evening of astonishment, merriment and prize giving, courtesy of capitalist stooges mask-arade.com.

Further instruction will be issued in the forthcoming weeks.

The committee would like to remind all comrades that non-attendees will be welcomed for compulsory re-education sessions at our picturesque Siberian headquarters.

The Best Films You've Never Seen: 2. The Magic Christian

Swinging satire from the pen of Terry Southern, Peter Sellers leads a ridiculously star studded cast as a subversive billionaire. Includes Yul Brynner as a transvestite lounge singer.

The Best Films You've Never Seen: 1. The Stunt Man

In the first of a pretentious ongoing series, Peter O’Toole gives an amazing performance as a devilish film director of a film within a film. Mind-bending, thought- provoking and spectacular.

Leamington Underground Cinema: Episode 2

LUC episode 2

Following the unexpected success of the first Leamington Underground Cinema night, we are back with another event on Thursday 22nd September at 7.45 pm at the Leamington Apollo Cinema.

Tickets are £5 and can be procured at The Clarendon or The Cricketers public houses in Leamington - or you can go high tech and buy them right here on Ebay.

Like last time this will be an evening extravaganza of cult short films along with the now legendary film quiz - all hosted by Jon Kennedy and his Underground Usherettes. This time for a bit of extra fun there will be an exciting prize for the best movie related costume worn on the night - but if dressing up isn't your thing, don't panic, there will be prizes on offer for the quiz too.

There is a proper Facebook type event page right here - and don't forget to visit Leamington Underground Cinema on Facebook and click 'like' to keep up to date with everything else that is going on.

...finally as a quick preview, here is the trailer for Frequency - one of the films we will be showing on the night:

The Remote Control Film Night - 4th August 2011

RCFNight action

Following the, quite frankly, unexpected success of the inaugral Leamington Underground Cinema event, the glorious central committee has decided to carry on with the idea of more irregular film events for the masses. To this end there will be another attempt to drink the bar dry at the Leamington Apollo in September - but before that comes an exciting development in the form of The Remote Control Film Night - The free, one-night film festival you can enjoy without leaving the house.

The idea is that you, the audience can enjoy the event from wherever you like over the web, while we at LUC will be sending out communiques throughout the evening from an encrypted mainframe within a hidden bunker in a secret location.

The content of the evening will be all sorts or weird and wonderful online film treats, as well as another Jon Kennedy film quiz tour-de-force via the wonders of the internet.

To find out more, click 'Like' at the Leamington Underground Cinema facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/Le​amingtonUndergroundCinema - or download an instruction form 27b/6: Operational Guidance..

There is also a proper RCFN facebook event page where you can join in or invite other people.

On the night instructions will be issued via facebook and twitter, via the @_paperjam twitter feed, so feel free to follow that. We'll also be using the Hashtag #rcfnight for thoughtful discussion/torrential abuse.

Due to the futuristic, virtual nature of this event there is no limit to the number of people who can join in so please let anyone else know who might fancy it - especially if you don't like them very much.

paper-jam presents Leamington Underground Cinema

In an unaccountably exciting move, paper-jam is making the move from the virtual, internet world to the actual, physical, visceral universe that you are sat in now. Sort of like Kelly Le Brock in Weird Science.

Anyhow, the reason for this unprecedented development is the leap into the multimedia omniverse represented by the production of the very first paper-jam film, The Toilet Story. An epic comedy filmed in Leamington Spa's very own Clarendon public house and starring an array of local talent the likes of which has not seen anywhere round here since Shakespeare realised that putting on the odd bit of theatre was a fairly good way of trying to get off with girls.

In addition to the world premiere of this eight minute spectacular, a whole film-centric event has been planned out and will be hosted at Leamington's foremost popcorn emporium, the Apollo cinema at 8pm on Thursday 19th May.

Leamington Underground Cinema will be a night of cult short films, the afore-mentioned premiere and the finest film quiz this side of Bollywood, all in the company of compere without compare Jon Kennedy. More details will be carefully leaked prior to the event, but be assured that the content is going to be amusing, unusual and just very slightly wrong, so no under 18s I am afraid.

Tickets for this unique event are a mere five quid and can be purchased from the Star and Garter, the Clarendon - or by tracking me down and shoving your filthy lucre at me.

If you are facebooked up then check the event page here and spread the word - also you can subscribe to the @_paperjam twitter feed for up to the minute news and ranting.

The trailer of the film of The Toilet Story

One of the main reasons that not much has been happening on here is the upcoming film adaption of a story that appeared on this very site absolutely ages ago. Heres the trailer, brace yourselves:

Just how complicated is Inception?

Inception has been portrayed like you need a doctorate to go and watch it. Is this the case? Are there even more complicated films out there? Should you care?
