The SAN DIEGO VINTAGE SCI-FI film club presents:
THE GREEN SLIME
(USA/Japan/Australia, 1968) 90 minutes
A giant asteroid is heading toward Earth so astronauts disembark from a space station to blow it up. The mission is successful, and they return to the station unknowingly bringing back a gooey green substance that mutates into one-eyed tentacled monsters that feed off electricity. Soon the station is crawling with the Green Slime, and people are being zapped left and right!
Also Showing: BATMAN 1943 Serial, episode #10 … and … a Vintage Sci-Fi cartoon.
Showtime is 7:00pm at Studio 106 in the Art Union Building at 2323 Broadway, San Diego 92102. Admission is FREE, and popcorn is provided (you can bring snacks or drinks to share). Please RSVP to SDVSF.

The Mars Society-San Diego‘s monthly MARS MOVIE NIGHT presents a SNEAK PREVIEW of a new 2009 Mars documentary film, 83 minutes
A specific group of Americans dream of going to Mars one day. They firmly believe that it is absolutely necessary for the human race to explore the universe. The first step is to travel to Mars in search of traces of life and establish a new civilization.
Also another documentary by National Geographic, MARS: MAKING THE NEW EARTH (2009), 45 minutes
The notion of bringing Mars to life – transforming a cold, dry, uninhabitable desert into a living planet – is called terraforming, has been around for almost a century. Initially just a science fiction concept, it has become a subject of serious scientific investigation. Recent discoveries of rocks and minerals found by the Mars rovers show it must once have had warmer, habitable living conditions. Now, using photorealistic CGI visualizations, we’ll make a science fiction dream of Mars – a world of trees, rivers and blue skies – a plausible future, bringing it to life after three and a half billion years in a deep freeze.
Also a Duck Dodgers cartoon.
Showtime is 7:00pm at Studio 106 in the Art Union Building at 2323 Broadway, San Diego 92102. Admission is FREE, and popcorn is provided (you can bring snacks or drinks to share). Please RSVP to Mars Movie Night.
