MOVIES: With another version of Hairspray hitting the big screen this summer, it seems to be a season of decades past and, of course, hair! Movies With a View brings back the musical tale of Central Park hippies, small town boys headed to Vietnam and the '60s as they show the film Hair tonight.
Deejays at 6pm, Movie at Sundown // Empire Fulton State Park, Dumbo // Free
It's the last night to catch Punk's Not Dead in the EV. The film features interviews and rare and unseen footage with bands like Bad Religion, The Ramones and Henry Rollins to...Good Charlotte, My Chemical Romance and Sum 41? The press release claims the genre "continues to thrive" at "shopping malls and stadium shows," what do you think?
Various Times // City Cinemas Village East [181 2nd Ave]
If you lack a long attention span, head over to an evening of "short films and cinematic socializing" tonight. You'll get 10 short films (all being shown for the first time) but be warned...with each film running up to 20 minutes, that's still 200 minutes of cinema! Come September three of these films will be hitting the road with Scion's Route Film Series.
7 to 11pm // Sandbox Studio [250 Hudson St] // RSVP here
WALKING TOUR: Once the sun starts to set "enjoy an evening of strolling and cruising, wine and cheese, and the Park’s mysterious nocturnal fauna. Boat ride on the electric boat Independence followed by guided exploration of the Park’s nature trails." Sounds perfect!

EVENT: Brooklyn-based company Brave New World brings "Walt Whitman: Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" to the Bandshell. The adaptation will fuse poetry, projections, music, rap, dance and violinist/composer Jenny Scheinman.

THEATER: Crack open a Duff and park it on the couch – it’s time once again for the American Living Room, that multi-disciplinary theatrical marathon that “strives to make theatre as much a part of everyday life as watching TV.” Now in its 18th year, the festival at HERE Arts Center hosts 25 projects, involving approximately 300 artists over the next month. Tonight’s choices are “65”, Hal Fickett’s surreal road trip ghost story, and Timothy Braun’s Trigger Happy Jack. “Told in rich soundscape and dreamlike images, Trigger Happy Jack is the story of a girl determined to survive in the Large, Large, Large City in the Sky.” - John Del Signore
8:30pm // HERE Arts Center [145 Sixth Ave] // Tickets cost $15.
MUSIC: Two of our Movable Hype alum are playing around town tonight. First up The Subjects join Cartright, These United States, Eyesearsnose and Unmanned Ship at Goodbye Blue Monday. Check out The Subjects at our show, here.

Jen Carlson, you might want to do a little more research before sitting down at your laptop in the morning. Punk's Not Dead is endorsed by tons of bands anyone would consider punk and the bands you selectively mentioned make up a small portion of the film. The whole point of including them is to question the evolution of the movement. Sloppy journalism much?
In other news, that walking tour in Prospect Park requires a reservation. So don't plan on just showing up. Call (718) 287-3400 x 114. And bring cash, their CC machine is busted.
