SFist Tonight's Plate of Shrimp

Although it's one of our very favorite cult flicks from the 80s, we have never seen Repo Man on the big screen. It screens tonight at the Castro (429 Castro St at 17th), as part of the series, Tormented Terrestrials Tuesdays. Starring Emilio Estevez in a much more appealing role than the dopey jock from the Breakfast Club, the film also features cult actors, Harry Dean Stanton and Dick Rude, and a soundtrack of vintage punk and SoCal hardcore, plus the Secret Agent theme song in EspaƱol. And, of course, eminently quotable lines about plates of shrimp, eating sushi without paying, and the intensity of the life of a Repo Man. (9:40pm)
Over at The Luggage Store Gallery that does not sell luggage (1007 Market St at 6th), it's the Eulipia/Knot Frum Hear Performance/Salon, a mouthful of a title to be sure. This new monthly series highlights unconventional music and performance that revels in "the collision of past, present and future, steel and wood, circuitry and artery, howl and song." Tonight's performance features sound artist, Kitundu and readings by series curators, Tan Khanh Cao and D. Scot Miller, whose new book gives the series its title. (8pm)
