Free flick!

Got the pre-payday blues? Never fear, tonight we've got you covered with a free screening of "How to Eat Your Watermelon in White Company (and Enjoy It)," an affectionate documentary (well, hagiography might be more accurate) honoring filmmaker Melvin Van Peebles. Our suggestion? Check out the film--which originally screened as part of the 2005 Chicago International Film Festival--and then rent "Baadassss," Mario Van Peebles' (Melvin's son) excellent dramatization of the devotion it took his dad to make the 1971 surprise hit, "Sweet Sweetback's Baadassss Song."
