Like the rest of you¹ I was terribly excited to hear that Alejandro Jodorowsky's El Topo was finally getting re-released this week. Sadly it doesn't look like it's getting a screening in Birmingham, at least not for the foreseeable future at the MAC or the Electric, our ostensibly "Art House" cinemas. Which is, perversely, kind of a good thing as they've both been refurbished very nicely recently and you really want to see El Topo in a flea-bitten, stinking pit of an establishment. Here's hoping it comes on at the Odeon then.

In the meanwhile, David Lynch's Inland Empire is getting another showing at the Electric over the weekend of April 21-22. At 1.45pm. Is it me or is that timing just wrong? Truly we are living in a different age.

¹ If you weren't then you should have been. So there.
