Extremely Implausible: The Page Museum at the La Brea Tar pits is screening your new favorite movie, Dinosaurs (1960), about frozen prehistoric creatures (and a frozen Neanderthal man) discovered under the sea that come to life and attack an island. Obviously. "Bring your picnic blanket and cozy up to watch a movie in Hancock Park at the Page Museum at La Brea Tar Pits. Come join us for thrills, chills, and, yes, all the goofiness of those vintage sci-fi and horror flicks, and get here early for a light-hearted discussion with our own science experts, as we introduce the day's featured movie to see if there's any common ground between science fact and science fiction." 8:30 p.m.
