In town, he is known as Ernest and is a fun-loving man-about-town and is engaged to the beautiful Gwendolen Fairfax. At home in the country, he is known as John Worthing, J.P. and as a respectable gentleman and guardian to his young ward, Cecily Cardew. When Jack's friend from town, Algernon Moncrieff, learns of his deception, he shows up at Jack's country house pretending to be Ernest, Jack's wayward brother. Both \"Ernests\" get in each other's way as they try to resolve their romantic entanglements.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/muccc.org\/events\/?p=8744\">MuCCC website<\/a>, 2013-Dec-23]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight at 8 p.m., the <strong>Dryden<\/strong> will screen <strong>The Manxman<\/strong> (Alfred Hitchcock, U.K. 1929, 100 min., DCP) with live piano accompaniment by <strong>Philip C.

Upon the investigation of a brutal suicide, the two uncover a heroin smuggling ring run by a squad of former Vietnam War special operatives commanded by Mr. Joshua (a menacing Gary Busey). As the two dig deeper into the case, they leave a large trail of property damage behind them. Arguably the most iconic of buddy cop capers, Lethal Weapon is high-concept filmmaking at its finest, with its fair share of witty banter and non-stop action.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/10\/lethal-weapon\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2013-Dec-23]<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>King Buffalo<\/strong>, awesome, wild, blue-collar rock from <!-- 2007-Oct-20: Bug Jar-Buffalo's wilder, blue-collarer version of The Grinders --><strong>Handsome Jack<\/strong>, and <strong>Rash<\/strong> perform tonight at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> starting around 9 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2013\/12\/rochester-ny-king-buffalo-w-handsome-jack-rash-cassette-release-show\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2013-Dec-23]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Saturday, December 28<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Over at the <strong>MuCCC<\/strong> at 8 p.m. is <strong>Polite Company<\/strong>'s <strong>Edna and Agatha's Holiday Extravaganza<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochestercitynewspaper.com\/rochester\/polite-company-edna-and-agathas-holiday-extravaganza\/Event?oid=2310017\">City Newspaper events calendar<\/a>, 2013-Dec-25]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight at 8 p.m., the <strong>Dryden<\/strong> will screen <strong>Blackmail<\/strong> (Alfred Hitchcock, U.K. 1929, 85 min., DCP) with live piano accompaniment by Philip C.

It follows the adventures of a two-dimensional square, whose view of reality is shaken when he meets the impossible: a three-dimensional sphere. Simultaneously teaching the nature of the dimensions and skewering the Victorian society in which Abbott lived, \"Flatland\" has become a classic of science fiction and a pioneer of what can only be called \"mathematician fiction\".<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/muccc.org\/events\/?p=15597\">MuCCC website<\/a>, 2013-Dec-23]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting at 7 p.m. tonight, the <strong>Dryden<\/strong> will screen <strong>Gremlins<\/strong> (Joe Dante, U.S. 1984, 106 min., 35mm) followed by <strong>Gremlins 2: The New Batch<\/strong> (Joe Dante, U.S. 1990, 106 min., 35mm). <em>(And according to the website, it's sold out.)<\/em><br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Christmas would never be the same after Joe Dante's horror comedy about a batch of pesky creatures spawned from a seemingly innocent gift. Following a series of mishaps with his cute, fuzzy Mogwai Gizmo, unassuming teenager Billy (Zach Galligan) unleashes a flurry of reptilian monsters that wreak havoc on his small town. The original, which had become a cult favorite, was granted a sequel in 1990. Taking a slightly more anarchic turn, The New Batch ramps up the antics, brimming with slapstick humor and cartoony violence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/10\/new-years-eve-double-feature-gremlins-and-gremlins-2-the-new-batch\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2013-Dec-23]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight at 7:30 p.m. and again at 10:30 p.m., <strong>Geva Comedy Improv<\/strong> performs their <strong>New Year's Eve Comedy Spectacular<\/strong> on the <strong>NextStage<\/strong> at <strong>Geva<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/tickets.gevatheatre.org\/TheatreManager\/1\/tmEvent\/tmEvent777.html\">Geva Theatre ticket website<\/a>, 2013-Dec-23]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, January 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This afternoon at 2 p.m., the <strong>Dryden<\/strong> will screen <strong>Le fabuleux destin d'Am&eacute;lie Poulain<\/strong> (<em><strong>Am&eacute;lie<\/strong><\/em>, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, France\/Germany 2001, 123 min., French and Russian w\/ subtitles, 35mm).<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Endlessly charming Audrey Tautou stars in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's playful tribute to contemporary Parisian life. After living a sheltered childhood, Am&eacute;lie Poulain takes a job as a waitress in the bustling Montmartre neighborhood. As she interacts with the caf&eacute;'s eccentric clientele, she realizes that she possesses a gift for making others happy. Channeling the breeziness of the French Impressionists, Jeunet takes great pleasure in observing life's little details, balancing them with Am&eacute;lie's frenzied imagination. A fantastical, whimsical jaunt, Am&eacute;lie has become a favorite among cinephiles and general audiences alike, garnering five Academy Award nominations and countless international awards.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/10\/amelie\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2013-Dec-23]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here's what's going on this week:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2091],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jayceland-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2618"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2648,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2618\/revisions\/2648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
