As a child Reginald Dwight was shy and lonely, but possessed of an astonishing natural gift for the piano. Flash forward to Aug. 25, 1970, when the then 23-year-old would give a mind-blowing performance at the Troubadour, catapulting him into stardom. That fellow, the world now knows as Elton John, and this is his year.

Join us for a fun afternoon watching (and quoting) Pee-wee's Big Adventure (PG)—an experience that comes with props. Laugh your way through the story about a man who has his beloved bike stolen and must travel across the country to try to get it back. Bring your blankets and pillows and we’ll provide the snacks. This program is intended for all ages.

If you, like me, have seen at least one movie before, I urge you to go to imdb.com right now and type a movie’s title into the search bar. A wealth of information pops up. Cast and crew, reviews, and even showtimes for new releases. But we don’t care about any of that right now. We want one word at the top of the page: TRIVIA.

Oh my goodness, is the hair on your arms standing up?

Confession: For someone who “doesn’t care about the Oscars,” I actually do care about the Oscars. They serve as a useful snapshot of a given year in film history. What we as moviegoers value often differs from what Academy voters value. Not only that, but what Academy voters value tends to change over time.
