This class was awesome. I work so much better when I'm in a class and someone is motivating me along. That’s why I joined and it’s worked out great. I have made definite and obvious improvement since I got the guitar a year ago and it’s because of taking these classes.

– Cory on the Beginning Guitar series with Kathy Brengle

Beginning Guitar seriespage 15

Art is more than a painting.

We’d venture to say that art is learning, making, and creatively applying new skills, no matter the medium. An elegant spreadsheet, a small business strategy, or your autobiography, art can take many forms. The canvas is up to you.

What will be your act of artistry this Spring?

FRED HOPKINS

I started my bad movie career in 1971, when I co-founded The Vintage American Cinema Society. Instead of showing the usual pop-oriented movies like “M.A.S.H.” or “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid,” we showed Fred Astaire in “Let’s Dance” (with a live performance by a gaggle of tap dancing tots) and “The Ghost of Frankenstein,” starring Bela Lugosi (with a live intro by “The Count,” local TV horror host and legend, Joe Towey). To my discombobulated amazement, we drew huge crowds (and this was 9 years before the general public discovered Ed Wood!).

In the early ’80s, local film historian, John Black, and I formed “The Backtrack Cinema Society” and showed “Plan 9 From Outer Space” at the now torn down Seattle Concert Theater and “Glen or Glenda” at Clifford’s On Broadway. We continued showing almost 100 films at venues all over Seattle.

This is my eighth year of teaching Schlock Cinema 101 and I have never had so much fun. Being with other discombooberated fans of Totally Awful Cinema and sharing the joy of watching these films and discussing them is a rare treat! I am not worthy!
