Yes, you can watch 1981\u2019s originating movie \u201cEscape From New York\u201d as part of this 4K double-bill in the Academy\u2019s big theater, sure to be a life-changing evening for those who haven\u2019t yet seen these perfect balances of anti-fascist politics, sci-fi action and Leone-esque visual storytelling. But there\u2019s a special hometown affection for the 1996 follow-up, which adds in jokes about Hollywood, traffic, surfing and basketball. The real draw of the night, though, will be the presence of writer-director John Carpenter<\/a> along with his signature star Kurt Russell, who made five features together. Friends for decades \u2014 sometimes tensely \u2014 the two are known to mix it up in conversation. Expect jabs, anecdotes and Clint Eastwood impressions.<\/p>\n

\u201cEscape From L.A.\u201d and \u201cEscape From New York\u201d are both playing Oct. 3 at the Academy Museum. Tickets here.<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yes, you can watch 1981\u2019s originating movie \u201cEscape From New York\u201d as part of this 4K double-bill in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":867046,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[352683,17854,169607,88,352686,6842,365680,4281,8208,7050,206,23476,352685,18681,57578,6196,23496],"class_list":["post-867045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-archival-print","tag-blast","tag-craft","tag-entertainment","tag-handy-catch-all","tag-horror","tag-kurt-russell-scrap","tag-los-angeles-times","tag-month","tag-movie","tag-movies","tag-october","tag-other-surprise","tag-rich","tag-screening","tag-special-guest","tag-stephen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=867045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/867046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=867045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=867045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=867045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
