I once saw this at the Ritzy in Brixton, with the reels shown in the wrong order, so we got to see the end of the film before the middle - half the audience jeered, the remainder obviously thought it was deliberate - perhaps reminded of Godard's famous remark that a film should 'have a beginning, middle, and end, but not necessarily in that order'.
The New Cross showing is on Wednesday 21st Feburary, 7:30 pm (for food), film at 8.

i didnt know there was a cinema on new cross road, a gay sauna yes but cinema.
It's not actually a cinema, but a nice vege cafe where they have film nights.
cool
The title music isn't just Beefheart: its the Don singing, with Ry Cooder playing distressed guitar, and production by Jack Nitzsche. And Jim Keltner on drums, IIRC.
Great film, too. I might toddle along, if I manage to organise myself...
What a great film, what a lovely vegetable polenta I had.
Thanks for the recommendation.
