Though no one will ever look back and remember them as great cinema, the Porky's film series does still hold a special place in many hearts. LAist doesn't suppose there is an male dorm that doesn't have at least one copy of the film hidden somewhere to remind everyone just how young and stupid you can be. Tonight, the ArcLight is celebrating that remembrance with a special screening of Porky's.
The film begins at 7:30 PM. Immediately following will be a Q&A session with writer/director Bob Clark, plus four of the "Boys from Angel Beach": Cyril O'Reilly (Tim), Tony Ganios (Meat), Mark Herrier (Billy), and Scott Colomby (Brian). Somebody better be bringing the beer...
