We're definitely getting a dose of icons lately. Leonard Cohen last Friday, Morrissey this Friday, and tonight, Iron Mike Tyson. James Toback's new documentary of the controversial fighter, simply titled " Tyson," has been extremely well-received, with positive reviews and standing ovations at the various festivals in which it has been shown. I have admittedly been looking forward to seeing this film for over a year, and will finally get the chance tonight, thanks to Gordon And The Whale. They are presenting a preview screening at The Magnolia tonight, and you can get in for free by printing out the Facebook invite here. Film to start at 7:30, but you should arrive extra early due to limited seating. PS-For those of you who think it's terrible to be promoting a film about such a flawed character, most likely the same crowd that sips Cabernet while intellectualizing Capturing The Friedmans or Chicken Hawk, look, just give me a break already. |
