Pop Culture Next 30 Days
Game of Thrones Party
Sat., Nov. 24, 8 p.m.Pop Culture
George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire has become Dungeons and Dragons for non-nerds. Is it the power of his prose that made the books a lifestyle, or is it the allure of a good-looking cast on a cable channel with no network censors to child-proof all the good stuff? The world may never know. What is known, however, is that winter is coming, and the Budweiser Brewhouse at Ballpark Village is spreading the word. At 8 p.m. Saturday, November 24, the brewhouse's Crown Room (of course) will host a Game of Thrones party with themed entertainment and cocktails, and free party favors (while they last). You should of course dress in your best Westeros garb — and keep one eye open for white walkers. Admission is free, and there will be prizes for the best dressed, so keep your clothes on if you're going as Daenerys. free admission
Superman the Movie
Sun., Nov. 25, 7 p.m.Pop Culture, Film
Superheroes weren't always the cash kings of the Hollywood box office. Forty years ago the idea of someone making a movie about comic-book characters was almost unimaginable. Richard Donner changed all that with the blockbuster film Superman. Actor Christopher Reeve looked the part and made a great Clark Kent to boot, Margo Kidder played hard-charging reporter Lois Lane and only bad guy Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) killed anyone. Throw in a convincing romance and some great sidekick work by Ned Beatty and you have an entertaining family film that still stands up. Warner Bros. and Fathom Events celebrate the ruby anniversary of the movie by getting it back in the theaters. At 7 p.m. Sunday, November 25, you can see Christopher Reeve fly through Metropolis again at the Marcus Wehrenberg Ronnies 20 (5320 South Lindbergh Boulevard; www.fathomevents.com). Superman is shown with the great Max Fleischer-animated Superman short from 1941, "The Mechanical Monsters." Tickets are $12.50. $12.50
