To Do: Star Wars, Kinsey, Grooves
· Nerd alert: The ArcLight hosts a special screening of The Empire Strikes Back (we can't bring ourselves to call it Episode V), followed by a Q & A with director Irvin Kershner, the man who momentarily saved the series from George Lucas' destructive, fur-loving impulses. Yup, both showings are already sold out, but the resourceful fanboy can always find a way.
· Director Bill Condon and novelist T.C. Boyle discuss their dueling Alfred Kinsey works (Kinsey and The Inner Circle, respectively) at the UCLA Hammer Museum. Brace yourself for ribald, yet oddly clinical, tales of Kinsey's swingin' sex research team.
· Editor Kim Cooper and other contributors read from Lost in the Grooves: Scram’s Capricious Guide to the Music You Missed at Book Soup. You know, if you're into record collecting more than Star Wars or sex.
