OLD MAN CABBAGE                                    

Saturday Feb 4th @ 10:00 pm.

Old Man Cabbage by Blair Crimmins and the Hookers and Ninja Puppet Productions. This Silent film style filme will have band perform the sound track live! Then stick around to hear them play a full set at the Historic Plaza Theatre.

"Film Synopsis"
"In a farm forgotten by time, Viola and Theodore are a couple of dust bowl farm kids who love to play circus. But their lives flipped upside down they are caught in an accident with Viola's abusive father in a struggle. They decide to runaway and join a ghostly circus that appears in a 1920's style Speakeasy. This new Long Form Narrative Music Video is based on the Song "Old Man Cabbage" by Atlanta's own Ninja Puppet Productions Blair Crimmins and the Hookers and features the magnificent Imperial Opa Circus performers."

"About the Band"
The Musical Styling of Blair Crimmins & The Hookers is an unusual product in today's music scene. It's one that doesn't quite fit into any particular genre. The very first note immediately sends the listener back to a 1920s Vaudeville theatre, where Blair Crimmins intoxicates an audience with his smooth voice and The Hookers support him with flawlessly appropriate musical accompaniment. Together this coterie transports their listeners back into a world in which men still wear bowties and golf caps while performing, flapper girls sparkle while dancing to counter the sinister tones of the music, and the audience is always willing to get up and dance.

ATLANTA'S ORIGINAL HOME OF THE CULT SENSATION - MONTHLY SCREENINGS FOR OVER TWO YEARS!

The film's so-bad-it's-freakin'-awesome vibe has attracted a devout army of aficionados whose membership includes the cream of Hollywood's comedy community. Role Models star Paul Rudd and Arrested Development's David Cross are both fans, as is Jonah Hill, who uses a still from the movie as his MySpace photograph. Heroes star Kristen Bell hosts Room-viewing parties at her house and last year attended the film's monthly Laemmle screening with Rudd, Hill, and Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright. ''There is a magic about that film that is indescribable,'' she says.

The Room has even infiltrated the halls of cinematic academia. ''It is one of the most important films of the past decade,'' says Ross Morin, an assistant professor of film studies at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. ''It exposes the fabricated nature of Hollywood. The Room is the Citizen Kane of bad movies.''

If The Room is the Citizen Kane of bad movies, that makes Tommy Wiseau the Orson Welles of crap. Wiseau — who speaks with a thick, Schwarzeneggerian accent — directed, wrote, and produced the film. The muscled auteur also plays the cuckolded Johnny, and, when not exposing his ivory rump in the film's sex scenes, gives a performance that's both heartfelt and berserk. In one scene, a vein-poppingly distraught Wiseau howls the line, ''You are tearing me apart, Lisa!'' The moment — a favorite of Room fans — is reminiscent of both James Dean's ''You're tearing me apart!'' howl in Rebel Without A Cause and Marlon Brando screaming ''Stella!'' in A Streetcar Named Desire. At least it would be, if those actors had chosen to play their parts as deranged Austrians. (Entertainment Weekly)
