Scenes from ‘Blue Velvet’ and ‘Dazed and Confused’

This is obviously a huge weekend for non-movie-related events. But if it's too hot and/or too rainy and you've had enough of crowds, there are some worthwhile dark rooms for you to duck into. Of note: In connection with the new movies Lynch/Oz, The Main is screening three David L. flicks (and you can catch a fourth at The Grandview).
